Why do people bet so much more on Super Bowl?

[Louisvillekid1]

I see people going all in left and right and making huge plays in a game that I see going down to the wire and a late turnover or made FG will be the difference.

I see value in the under, but who the fukk wants to be on the under while watching that game.

Anyway, I was just curious why bettors feel the need to bet so much more on a toss up game?

You can find such better spots to cash tickets with scheduling/motivational factors and this game obviously both teams are on the same page here.

Anyway good luck on your wagers...

Its a common ritual.

[BIGDAY]

Biggest rush game ever.

Buildup is all day. Pregame show starts around 8 am. Love it. Coffee til the brew starts pourin around noon.

The average Joe is what some call sheeple. They do what they are subconsciously told. It is highly marketed to bet the super bowl.

[Naz18]

Exactly it's just another game...

[Hawkeye2011]

I never bet anything on the super bowl for that reason. It is most likely going to be a close game which can go either way depending on how the calls go. Not worth it.

Although I did make a prop bet a few years ago on what color the winning teams Gatorade was going to be....Yellow FTW!

[RyanLeafOfBets]

The only reason I can think of is because it's "SUPER". I won't be pounding it.

amateur hour

98% are not hardcore gamblers like us

Yes, sheeple.

Meanwhile the average Joe would laugh at you if you compared how much more you've lost gambling over the span of your life vs. his.

Go big or go home on Super Bowl.

Need a wager that will get my blood rushing.

It's the greatest event of the year.

Common!!!

[Cuse0323]

some of us like to gamble, not grind out peanuts.

[Roadtrip635]

I think some do it just because it's the Superbowl, some are homers and are fans of one of the teams and others probably just because it's the last football game of the season.

[Mikail]

Yes, sheeple.

Meanwhile the average Joe would laugh at you if you compared how much more you've lost gambling over the span of your life vs. his.

I'm not so sure about that but I see what your saying.

[seaborneq]

It's the last damn game of the football season. Doesn't matter whether you go big, it's all over super bowl sunday night. Least important money management time is the last bet if the football season.

[DemoralizdDreamr]

Nope, just a unit bet on the pats -2.5.

[ebbearsfb1]

Most are morons or first bet of the year... I said the same thing for national championship.. just cause its a big game doesn't mean you have a better chance

[frostno98]

Same reason as to why people party like it's 1999 on new year eve. It just feels more intoxicating wagering big on a game the entire world is watching.

[GunShard]

A gambling rule that I follow: Bet because you can win, never bet because it feels good or it's your favorite team.

Everyone seems to like breaking this rule.

I am also on the Under because it's a high chance of a winning.

Unlike the Sides, it's a coin toss, people betting on the Sides because of the hype of the super bowl.

[millflavor]

Exactly it's just another game...

[lunchbawks]

you can double your money / thread

[bswagos]

Because everyone who is up on the year tried to double up. Everyone who is down tries to double up to catch up.

[TR88]

sucker is born every second

what difference does it make super bowl or african soccer ?

too many suckers

[face]

look for spots, dont even bet the big games. might have biggest wager of the year on cubs/mariners under 5 first 5 innings, don't know. i sure as hell don't bet the superbowl.

[Sam Odom]

Well yeah , it is just another game but

Even if I cannot find an edge I'll put something on it.... That's the degenerate in me

[jjgold]

Its mainly the game to get everything back you lost all year

THat is why if I do bet big the reason

[lunchbawks]

its silly how the Vegas and the media always hype how much $ action the SB has..like it's the fkking Kentucky Derby or somthing

[MoneyLineDawg]

Because its the last football game of the year.....I don't bet a huge amount, usually just a "big bet" for me even if I think it is a pure coinflip....whatever

Why do people go gamble in casinos? You know going in you are -EV but its just for the fun and rush of it....Same thing with the Super Bowl for me

[seaborneq]

Make a big bet and call it a fiscal year.

[falconticket]

Only true amateurs lay off the big game. Scared. Gotta go all in. Recoup during the off season

[thetrinity]

said the same thing. i only bet the saints big against the colts, and the cardinals against the steelers for an average size play. granted i have only been betting since like 05 though.
