Constantly amazed by how much $$$ posters (purportedly) throw around on such a high-profile game.

I have $500 on it, which is a big bet for me, but only because I'm up huge in the NFL this year and it's still only 500 bucks in the grand scheme of things.

Super Bowl counts the same as every other bet. It's either one win or one loss. Posters act like getting it right = the holy grail or something, like their account will be filled with gold coins or the bet will make their bankroll increase tenfold just because it's a big game. I've never understood why people go off the deep end in games like this, when you could've bet Buffalo/Bowling Green today and it would've counted the same.
