Super Bowl 53 was likely the most legally bet upon big game in US history, as seven additional states had regulated sportsbooks in 2019.<\/p>\n

The New England Patriots’ 13-3 win over the Los Angeles Rams lacked excitement \u2013 and even a touchdown \u2013 for the first three quarters of play. When the clock hit 0:00 and quarterback Tom Brady officially secured his record sixth ring, oddsmakers say their net result was a small win.<\/p>\n

\n

Early reports out of Las Vegas suggest small win for the sportsbooks,” ESPN’s <\/i>David Purdum tweeted. “‘Solid.’ ‘Decent, but nothing crazy.'”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Fans in Delaware, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Mississippi, and New Mexico were able to access legal and regulated sportsbooks for Super Bowl 53<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What was billed as an epic showdown between Brady \u2013 perhaps the best quarterback in NFL history \u2013 and the high-powered Rams offense led by Jared Goff, quickly morphed into a defensive showcase. Super Bowl 53 was the first big game to go without a touchdown through three quarters. And the 16-point total is the lowest scoring Super Bowl ever.<\/p>\n

Betting Results<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Patriots easily covered the 2.5-point<\/a> spread they were giving the underdog Rams. Super Bowl 53 came far under the 56.5-point over\/under by a staggering 40.5 points.<\/p>\n

\n

ESPN <\/i>reports that “Bettor X,” the anonymous gambler who made millions of dollars on the 2017 World Series and last year’s Super Bowl 52, lost at least $3.8 million on the New England win. The person placed a $2 million moneyline bet on the Rams at an MGM Resorts book, $1.5 million at William Hill, and another $300,000 at South Point.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Had Los Angeles won, Bettor X would have netted around $4.5 million. Instead, he or she has $3.8 million fewer dollars.<\/p>\n

At 41, Brady became the oldest winning Super Bowl quarterback in history. His coach, Bill Belichick, became the oldest winning Super Bowl coach at 66.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“He’s a great quarterback and I’d certainly put him up there against anybody,” Belichick said. “He’s a great player, and he’s been a great player for the New England Patriots. His record is unmatched. I’m glad he’s my quarterback.”<\/p>\n

$250 Into $100K<\/b><\/h2>\n

Oddsmakers took bets on practically every aspect of Super Bowl 53. From the color of the Gatorade dumped on the winning coach (Blue), to which song Maroon 5 would begin their halftime show (“Harder to Breathe”), everything was on the table.<\/p>\n

One fortunate bettor at the South Point put $250 on the Rams to score exactly three points. The odds were 400\/1, meaning the lucky gambler netted $100,000. 400\/1 odds imply a chance of 0.25 percent.<\/p>\n

\n

Nevada sportsbooks took in a record $158.6 million in Super Bowl bets last year between the Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles. With Los Angeles in the game in 2019, expectations are high that a new handle record will be set.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Nevada Gaming Control Board will release official statistics on the big game this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
