SUPER BOWL LVI SET TO BE BIGGEST SPORTS BETTING DAY IN HISTORY

Now that legal online sports betting has swept the nation in the past 4 years, bettors all across the country and in Canada are ready to put some cold, hard cash on their preferred team.

Big names in the world of legal sports betting, including iconoclast and mattress mogul Mattress Mack (aka Jim McIngvale, owner of the Texas-based Gallery Furniture chain) are placing huge bets on this year’s final.

Mack himself has laid out a $4.5 million bet on the Bengals to win, and the overall handle for this year’s Super Bowl is expected to top $7 billion this year, shattering records across the country for one-day totals.

NEW YORK SET TO SHATTER RECORDS WITH SUPER BOWL LVI WAGERS

It was the goal of the New York State Gaming Commission officials to have online sports betting in full swing by the time the Super Bowl rolled around, and they were able to do just that.

Having gone live in early January 2022, New York is now offering the full scope of legal sports betting to eligible users in the state. One of the biggest betting markets by population, NY is expected to rake in nearly $1B in handle from bets on The Big Game, shattering records set by other big betting states like New Jersey.
