Super Bowl bets are trending toward Patriots
After the New England Patriots punched their ticket to the Super Bowl by routing the Indianapolis Colts two weekends ago, and the Seattle Seahawks squeaked in with an overtime comeback against the Green Bay Packers, a lot of early wagers for this weekend’s title game trended to the Patriots.
“Bettors look at the game and see (quarterback Tom) Brady with the best coach in football and say it’s his time,” Avello said.
The Super Bowl offers several betting options for those visiting Nevada or other states that allow sports betting.
(California isn’t one of them.) Options include proposition bets, such as who will score first, whether Seattle defender Richard Sherman will make an interception and whether a team will score on a safety.
[...] online betting sites such as Bovada.lv offer props such as who will be named MVP.
Rood says bettors weren’t affected by allegations that New England sought an illegal advantage by deflating footballs below regulation pressure during the AFC championship game.
