Super Bowl 50: Betting on Another Safety With Odds Close to 9-1
There was a time when high Super Bowl prices were afforded to a safety being scored with odds typically beyond 10-1. With Super Bowl 50 we have odds of +850 that there will be a safety. Still some excellent value but oddsmakers are less comfortable offering such high prices on the YES…..and with good reason.
The elusive safety in some respects reminds us of the Triple Crown in horse racing. It took a few decades but American Pharoah finally achieved a Triple Crown win. And while the wait has been long, there were actually three horses that won the Triple Crown during the 1970’s.
Out of 49 Super Bowls played thus far, a safety has occurred in only nine of them. Though there wasn’t a safety scored last year, the three previous Super Bowls each featured a safety.
A safety also occurred three years prior. But before that?
A safety had not been scored in a Super Bowl since the Giants faced the Bills in 1991.
If you look at the past seven Super Bowls, it’s easy to see why the safety prop (4-3) might have some enticement….and at nearly 9-1 odds, it’s understandable.
