Super Bowl LIX generated a record $22.1 million profit for Nevada sportsbooks, even though betting decreased by 20.1%, amounting to $151.6 million wagered — the lowest since Super Bowl LV. This decline is attributed to the absence of the game at Allegiant Stadium and the lack of a California team. The Philadelphia Eagles, as 1.5-point underdogs, defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22. Notably, player prop bets, particularly involving Saquon Barkley, were favorable for the sportsbooks, highlighting trends in prop betting during the event.
The $22.1 million win tops the $19.7 million the sportsbooks won on Super Bowl XLVIII, when the Seattle Seahawks upset Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos.
Approximately $151.6 million was bet on this year's Super Bowl, a 20.1% decrease from last year's game, which set a record at $190.0 million.
Michael Lawton noted that the absence of the game at Allegiant Stadium and no nearby California team contributed to this year's lower betting volume.
Barkley was the most popular same game parlay leg and did not see the end zone, indicating a big win for the sportsbooks.
