Legalized sports betting means wagers on this year’s big game could be bigger than ever.
“With the expansion of legal sports betting, traditional Super Bowl wagers are expected to pass casual wagers for the first time ever,” the American Gaming Association (AGA) said in a Tuesday (Feb. 7) news release.
The industry group says a record 50 million Americans — 20% of the country’s adult population — will bet on the Eagles/Bengals game, up 61% from last year, according to an AGA survey.
