Arr, me hearties! Gary Deutsch, the scurvy knave o' coin at BetMGM, be spillin' the beans on them fancy bettin' tricks fer Super Bowl LVIII betwixt the Chiefs and 49ers, savvy?
The Super Bowl is known as the gambling holiday of the year, with an estimated $23 billion being wagered on the game. While some bets are placed on the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers to win, and others on the over/under, a majority of the wagers are actually on prop bets. Prop bets, which are popular during the Super Bowl, go beyond the game itself and allow gamblers to bet on various outcomes and events related to the game. These can range from the result of the coin toss to the color of the Gatorade poured onto the winning coach. There are even prop bets involving Taylor Swift, such as whether Travis Kelce will propose to her after the game. Since sports betting has been legalized in many parts of the country, prop bets have become increasingly popular. Gary Deutsch, BetMGM's CFO, believes that people enjoy these bets because they are fun and quickly resolved. He estimates that half of the wagers on the Super Bowl are placed in the final 48 hours before kickoff, with high rollers placing significant bets early on. While parlays are not trustworthy, they are still popular among casual bettors who hope to win big. The Super Bowl kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, and fans are eagerly placing their bets in hopes of striking it rich.
