As of 10:30 am EST Sunday morning there was every indication that the Super Bowl 2012 betting traffic could potentially shatter past records and this certainly bodes well for the sportsbooks (find hundreds of Super Bowl betting props here at Bookmaker.eu, serving the sports betting public since 1985)
Traffic numbers were way up leading into Super Bowl Sunday for the Gambling911.com website with hundreds of different search inquiries related to the game. Gambling911.com has added server capacity.

“I believe that by Noon we will be looking at perhaps 100 Super Bowl betting related searches coming into the Gambling911.com website per every two minutes,” predicted Payton O’Brien, Operations Manager of the Gambling911.com site, which has bases in both Miami Beach and Lloydminster, Alberta, Canada.
This year’s Super Bowl has fueled the Las Vegas economy.
Tony Miller with the Golden Nugget told Local 2, "I've seen million-dollar wagers come over the counter. I've seen $500,000 wagers come over the counter. A $20,000 or $50,000 bet is not an uncommon wager during the Super Bowl."
Billions of dollars were being wagered both with the online sportsbooks and in Vegas. Sin City will realize a huge positive impact as visitors not only place bets but will patronize the many restaurants and other establishments Sin City has to offer.
So who do the books want to win?
New England!
Jay Kornegay, Director of the LVH Sportsbook, said that 62 percent of the bet tickets written thus far have come in on the Giants. This mimics a similar trend with the online sportsbooks where approximately 58 percent of the spread betting is going towards New York.
