Las Vegas, Nevada (February 4, 2010) – Exclusively from RJ Bell of Pregame.com
Since 1991, Nevada has separately tracked Super Bowl betting. In those 19 years, the sportsbooks have won money 17 times, with the bettors winning only 2 times.
RJ Bell of Pregame.com said: “A conservative estimate of Super Bowl betting losses over the last 19 years would exceed $13 billion dollars worldwide.”
Super Bowl XLIV is expected to be the biggest bet Super Bowl EVER, with over $10 Billion riding on the game worldwide. This would be the biggest bet single-day sporting event in history. Over half of adult Americans are expected to have some money at risk on the game Sunday.
