Betting on the Super Bowl was brisk at sportsbooks in big U.S. markets

Associated Press  

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — With this year’s Super Bowl being played in Las Vegas, the nation’s gambling capital, there was little doubt that betting on the big game would be huge. The total amount of bets at Nevada’s 182 sportsbooks broke the previous record of $179.8 million from the 2022 Super Bowl between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals. In New Jersey, the nine Atlantic City casinos, the three horse tracks that take sports bets, and their online partners handled $141.6 million in bets on the Super Bowl, according to the state Division of Gaming Enforcement -- an increase of 30% over last year’s total. Other states with big sports betting markets, including New York and Illinois, had yet to report betting levels for this year’s Super Bowl as of Wednesday evening. Simplebet, the micro-betting site popular with gamblers who want to bet on isolated moments within a game, said it saw double-digit increases in the number of bets on the Super Bowl and the total amount wagered “We’re thrilled to see the deep engagement from bettors across the country,” company CEO Chris Bevilacqua said.
