Super Bowl Bets: Bengals Have the Early Betting Lead Over Rams
Before the Super Bowl kicks off, the Cincinnati Bengals are the bettors' choice to win, even though they’ve remained four-point underdogs to the Los Angeles Rams. DraftKings has seen the Bengals receive the majority of bets in 16 of the 17 states it markets.
The heavy action on the underdog Bengals will likely spur a flurry of late bets on the Rams. Jason Scott, vice president of trading for BetMGM, told ESPN that most bets are placed in the hours right before kickoff.
Scott sent a text telling ESPN: "I'm expecting the big players to come [Sunday] for the Rams."
Still, the Bengals appear to be the people’s team, as they’ve continued to garner plenty of massive bets.
The largest wager Caesar’s Sportsbook has received yet is on the Bengals to win straight up. Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale, a Houston, Texas furniture salesman,
allegedly bet $9.5 million on the Bengals to win the Super Bowl.
The eccentric businessman routinely places massive bets on sporting events to offset losses on furniture promotions. In this case, he is running a promotion where he will refund any purchase of over $3,000 if the Bengals win the Super Bowl.
The Super Bowl is one of the most important days of the year for American sports betting. It’s estimated that
31.4 million Americans will bet an estimated $7.61 billion on the Super Bowl.
Getting the odds right and making sure the money is evenly divided between the two teams is key for betting companies to maintain profitability.
Adam Pullen, assistant director of trading for Caesars Sportsbook, said, "We'll be hoping for the middle, with the Rams winning but not covering [the spread]," he added, "We think we're in a good position overall. Still a ways to go, and it's big bet after big bet coming in."
