After what felt like forever, we have an update on whether North Carolina mobile sports betting will be legalized in 2023. It had been over a month since a bill to legalize mobile sports betting in North Carolina passed in the House after the state Senate made no headway on discussing it. However, it was announced that legislators in the Tar Heel State are expected to discuss the North Carolina online sports betting bill before the end of May. North Carolina already has three in-person sports betting locations, and the recent news makes North Carolina sports betting look very close to also being a reality.

The Tar Heel State already has in-person sports betting locations, so fans may already be familiar with common sports betting terms. If you haven't tried sports betting before and want to be familiar with sports betting terminology, check out this helpful guide from our friends at SportsLine to some see of the most popular ways to wager.

How to bet on sports in North Carolina when legalized

There are several ways you can make sports wagers both online and in retail sportsbooks and plenty of bet types you'll want to familiarize yourself with. Here are just a few.

Live betting: Baseball season is in full swing and live betting is a great way to play along with your favorite pro baseball team. A sportsbook will update certain odds as a game progresses, so you can bet on a player having a great game to hit a home run -- and many other outcomes -- as the innings unfold.

Outright: This betting style requires you to simply select one side to win an entire sporting event. This is an especially popular betting style for wagering on golf tournaments and title fights, as well as car races.

Parlay: This high-risk, high reward method involves putting two or more sides on one wager and all sides must win for the bet to cash in. It can be worth it though, because a $100 bet on a four-team parlay at 11-1 odds could return $1,100 if all four sides win. If only three sides win, the bet is a loser.
