Online Bookmaker Available for Comment on Super Bowl Betting Trends
ST. JOHN'S, Antigua, Jan. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- The Super Bowl is one of the
most watched sporting events in the world, while also being the biggest
betting day annually. Over 140 million people tuned into last year's game and,
predictably, a majority had some type of betting action on the Super Bowl,
whether through an office pool, in Las Vegas or over the Internet. With online
gambling now the preferred method to bet on the Super Bowl, leading offshore
gaming company BetWWTS.com today announced that it expects to receive more
bets on Super Bowl XXXIX than on any game in the company's twelve-year
history.
Last year, the 152 land-based sports books in Nevada accepted $81.2
million in Super Bowl bets -- for an average of slightly over $500,000 per
property. Demonstrating the rising popularity and acceptance of online
gambling, industry estimates put the total number of Super Bowl bets placed at
online sports books in the $400 million range, with BetWWTS.com accepted over
$1.5 million in bets on Super Bowl Sunday alone.
"Each year, the Super Bowl draws the heaviest betting action of any
sporting event in the world, with a majority of the game's followers having
some type of wager on the game," said Stuart Doyle, wagering director of
BetWWTS.com. "Online gambling has become the preferred method of betting on
the Super Bowl as more consumers recognize the convenience and safety of
Internet sportsbooks."
A veteran in the online gaming industry, Mr. Doyle is available to discuss
several issues, including:
-- Gambling trends and facts regarding the Super Bowl
-- The growth of Internet sports betting
-- Online versus traditional sports gambling
-- Expected company turnover from Super Bowl wagering
(compared to past year's)
-- Development and movement of Super Bowl betting lines
-- Unique Super Bowl-related betting options available at BetWWTS.com
BetWWTS.com opened the line on the Super Bowl at New England -6 and the
over/under at 45.5, which was quickly moved to New England -7 with the total
at 47.5 points. For the third consecutive year, BetWWTS.com will take Super
Bowl wagers of up to $1 million on a single bet. There will be over 150
additional betting options available at BetWWTS.com on everything happening at
the Super Bowl, including the coin toss, cross-sports match-ups, television
