How Much Was Bet on Super Bowl 60?

The Super Bowl isn’t just the biggest night in football. It’s the biggest betting event of the year.

An estimated $1.76 billion was wagered on Super Bowl 60 alone, according to the AGA, as fans from coast to coast can place bets online or in person, and even celebrities regularly join the action.

From casual $10 wagers to seven-figure bets, Super Bowl Sunday has become just as much about the odds as the touchdowns.

Super Bowl 60 Results

The Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29 to 13. And if you bet on the Seahawks, chances are you won a little money, as the Seahawks comfortably met their betting expectations.

Key Super Bowl stat bets heading into this year’s game included:

• Point spread: Seahawks -4.5
• Moneyline: Seahawks -227, Patriots +183
• Over/Under: 45.5

Seattle’s 16-point win easily covered the spread and paid out on the moneyline. The total score of 42 points fell under 45.5, meaning under bettors also cashed their tickets.

The game also featured individual player props that included:

• Sam Darnold passing yards: Over 245.5 yards at -110
• Drake Maye passing touchdowns: Over 1.5 touchdowns at +120
• Hunter Henry 38.5 receiving yards: Over 38.5 at -114
• Kenneth Walker III anytime TD scorer: -193

Darnold finished with 268 passing yards and 2 touchdowns, hitting the over, while Maye threw 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions, disappointing those who had taken the over on his prop.

While Kenneth Walker III didn’t score to cover his anytime TD bet, he did become the first RB in 28 years to win Super Bowl MVP. So at least there was that.

Not only that, but predictions markets have expanded Super Bowl betting even further.
