2009 Super Bowl Results and Payouts
Gambling911.com has your 2009 Super Bowl results and some of the payouts associated with winning bets. The Steelers win 27-23 but the Cardinals cover, a good result for bookmakers who would have been clobbered on the moneyline with an Arizona outright win. The total in this game went over.
One of the bigger bets of the 2009 Super Bowl related to Jennifer Hudson's rendition of the National Anthem. Most online sportsbooks including Bookmaker.com had the odds set at Over/Under 2 minutes. Other books tagged a few seconds onto that. But regardless of where you placed this bet, the Over came through as Hudson's rendition clocked in officially at 2 minutes, 13 seconds. Did we mention she was flawless?
The player to score the first touchdown was Gary Russell of the Pittsburgh Steelers. What were his odds?
Pittsburgh running back Gary Russell scored from 1-yard out less than a minute into the second quarter to cap a 69-yard drive for the AFC champions.
After a Ben Roethlisberger 1-yard touchdown run was reversed on replay, kicker Jeff Reed was successful on an 18-yard field goal attempt in the first quarter to put the Steelers up 3-0.
The payout was around $1400 for every $100 bet.
And how about that OVER folks on the first half?
That was a brutal couple of minutes waiting for a decision on that final last second touchdown before halftime.
The halftime total turned out to be 24. The odds were Over/Under 23 ½. Gambling911.com advised our readers to take the Over here.
And James Harrison for Super Bowl MVP? That one would pay $3000 for every $100 bet.
But Arizona was coming back in the fourth quarter, bringing the score within 6 points (enough for them to cover the spread if the game were to end) with just over 7 minutes left to play. And that was the start of something special as the Cardinals defense managed to hold of Pittsburgh and Arizona got the ball back. With under 4 minutes remaining, the Cardinals were making a run to take the lead but had to punt it away with just over 3:26 left.
But then we had a safety which brought the score to within 4 points. Larry Fitzgerald quickly scored a touchdown for the Arizona Cardinals, which took the lead going up three points. It was the first time a safety occurred in a Super Bowl since Tampa won. The safety bet paid $800 for every $100 bet, so some lucky gamblers made out here. Gambling911.com covered the possibility of a safety pretty extensively coming into this game. Pittsburgh managed to score a touchdown with only 35 seconds left.
