$98.9 million was wagered in Nevada alone on Sunday's game

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/ FROM KEITH GROLLER RJ Bell of Pregame.com is reporting a record amount wagered in Nevada on Sunday's Super Bowl: Super Bowl 47 was the biggest bet Super Bowl in Nevada history: $98.9 Million wagered! Beating the 2006 record of $94.5 Million (Steelers vs. Seahawks) Nevada bookmakers won $7.2 Million on the Super Bowl (the most since 2007 Colts vs. Bears) Vegas has won money on the Super Bowl 21 of the last 23 years! Bettors have won money on the Super Bowl only 2 of the last 23 years! Keep in mind that Nevada accounts for less than 1% of the worldwide handle on the Super Bowl: Assuming that sportsbooks worldwide won at the same rate as Nevada, bettors conservatively lost over $720 Million on Super Bowl XLVII Here's another way to explain how big the action is worldwide: Pregame.com estimates that more money was at risk on the coin flip worldwide than on the entire game (any bet type) in Nevada
