The Story | |||||
The Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) has revealed that state-licensed sportsbooks handled $158.6m in Super Bowl wagers, which is $20m higher than last year’s $135.8m. However, the net win posted is below everyone’s expectations. |
|||||
Nevada’s books continuously set betting handle records. | |||||
The books have set handle records in four of the last five years and have topped $100m in wagers every year since 2014. However, the sharp decline in net win has spoiled the record betting handle achieved this year. Nevada’s books held a mere 0.7% of bettors’ wagers, which translates to a lowly $1.17m in net win.  The books got pummeled by a majority of bettors believing that the final score would exceed 48 points, and in taking the underdog Eagles to win straight up. |
