Which Super Bowl team has the most bets been placed on?
By Kris Whelan
It has emerged that 73 percent of the money is on the Patriots
With Super Bowl XLIX coming up in a few days, the exciting is building as everyone prepares to watch the big game. What’s that old saying? “It matters more when there’s money on it.”
Now, I’m not saying that’s true, but a lot of betting action happens throughout the football season, and millions of dollars change hands. The biggest betting day of the year is Super Bowl Sunday, for obvious reasons.
But just what team have the gamblers decided to put their hard earned money on this year?
According to Sportsbook.com, The New England Patriot’s have garnered a whopping 73 percent of the money being placed. I guess this means the general public are betting on offense over defense, as this game is being billed as ‘”the best defensive team go up against the best offensive team.”
Not that anyone cares, but I am in the minority and bet on the Seahawks to make it two Super Bowls in a row.
The Patriots are going in to the game after a huge victory against the Colts, but as we all know, the victory has been marred in controversy after all the ‘Deflate-Gate’ details have emerged.
The Seattle Seahawks are coming in to the Super Bowl after an incredible game against the Green Bay Packers, and I believe that game will play a big part in the Super Bowl this Sunday. It will give Seattle the belief that they are never dead and buried, no matter what the Patriot’s rack up on the scoreboard they will feel like they can claw it back.
Regardless of who wins, it should be a great Super Bowl and I’m sure a lot of money will change hands over the course of the day.
