Sportsbook Super Bowl 49 Results: 66 Percent of Action was on Patriots
Carrie Stroup here with the final results of today’s unbelievable Super Bowl and the traffic was still coming in here at Gambling911.com after the conclusion of the big game.
The Gatorade was blue and Tom Brady thanked his family first as the Super Bowl MVP. The later prop bet paid $800 on a $100 bet. Oh, and yeah Boys, Katy Perry ultimately showed her cleavage at -700 odds.
Matt James of Sportsbook.ag gave his insight: “What a finish and what a game. Huge swing in the result for the book right at the end. We’re still analyzing all the markets but Pete Carroll’s play call at the end is going to make this the biggest losing Super Bowl since 2008.
“Game Line – We closed Patriots -1 with 66% of the cash on New England. Total closed at 47.5 with 53% on the OVER. We tried to move with the market but the volume of Money on the Patriots meant we kept them a slight favorite and the result has hit us hard.
1st TD Scorer Brandon LaFell 12-1 – Great result for a very popular market for all bettors. Most of the money was on the usual suspects Gronkowski and Lynch. We also took a huge liability on Tim Wright at 35-1 who was touted by Bill Simmons on his BS Report podcast. Big relief when LaFell grabbed the first score.
“National Anthem Over 122.5 sec – This was interesting as around an hour before kick off we took multiple max bets on the OVER. Many of them were new accounts and from Arizona which suggested some insider information, possibly from Idina Menzel’s rehearsals. Fortunately the limits were low on this prop but we suspended the line anyway. Sure enough, the Over came in
“1st Half Line NE -0.5 & Total 23 – Huge Seahawks drive to tie the game up just before half time was a big result for the book with 70% of the action Patriots -0.5 and 68% on UNDER 23.”
