Betting companies BetMGM Sportsbooks and Caesars Sportsbook reported Patrick Mahomes' City Chiefs were the most-bet team going into the main event.
Caesars stated that this was the first-ever Super Bowl in which more game parlays were bet than the traditional straight wagers.
Speaking of the game, The Eagles started off the game brightly, dominating the Chiefs right from the word go. They went into a 24-0 lead by half-time and go on to avenge their Super Bowl defeat two years ago to Kansas City.
“With the Chiefs falling behind early we observed a substantial handle and wagers increase on their chances of a comeback,” said Craig Mucklow, Caesars vice president of trading.
“A significant amount of wagers flooded in on KC at longer odds on the money line and all spreads we posted, all the way up to +28.5. This rare opportunity to bet on Patrick Mahomes at such generous spreads and odds proved to drive significant growth and led to our largest in-play handle for a Super Bowl ever.”
At BetMGM, 60% of the tickets and 56% of the money was on the Eagles to win at +100 on the money line and 54% of the bets and 64% of the handle was on Philadelphia to win as a +1 1/2-point underdog.
Fans who bet over the 48 1/2-point total also cashed in. That over bet received 61% of the tickets and 57% of the money.
Super Bowl LIX MVP Hurts was the most-bet player in the game. Fans who bet over the 48 1/2-point total also cashed in. That over bet received 61% of the tickets and 57% of the money.
