Super Bowl Public Betting

Super Bowl public betting is a term used to describe where the majority of the public money is going. This is typically measured in two ways, the number of tickets, i.e how many bets are placed on each team or side of the spread, and also the money, i.e the amount of money placed on either team or side of the spread. What the public betting can do is firstly move the lines or odds, if 70% of the money is on one side, the sportsbooks will adjust the odds or spreads to try and entice bettors to the other side to balance the books. You can also use public betting just as a casual interest or guide on how the majority of people see the game, and then decide if you want to ride with the public opinion, or fade it. 

Super Bowl Betting Online

NFL Betting is the most popular type of sports wagering and the Super Bowl is the epitome of it. There is no bigger betting event in the US than the Super Bowl, and with more states legalizing sports betting in the last year or so, including New York, it’s expected to be the biggest year for online Super Bowl betting yet.

Super Bowl Live Betting

Live betting is becoming one of the most popular and fastest growing areas of sports betting. Like the name suggests, Live Betting is a type of bet in which you place during a live event, after the match has started. While you wont get as exhaustive a list as you might pre-game, you will still be able to place a bet on the main markets such as the money line, spread or totals, as well as live prop betting such as next touchdown scorer, team points and more.

The Super Bowl is no stranger to a comeback or a shock result, just cast your mind back to Tom Brady leading the Patriots to glory from a 28-3 deficit against the Atlanta Falcons in 2017! Imagine the odds the Patriots would have been to win from that unlikely position.

Live betting is also a great way to react to a team’s play, if you spot a weakness or a particular receiver being targeted more often, you can capitalize on this with a live bet. The odds and lines are dynamic in Super Bowl Live Betting, meaning they instantly change to reflect the action as it unfolds, play-by-play. If a favorite concedes an early touchdown, their odds will worsen and you can take them to win at bigger odds than pre-game for example.

Super Bowl Teams

The 2024 Super Bowl teams are the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. The Chiefs are representing the AFC after beating the Baltimore Ravens in the Conference Championship. The 49ers overcame the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship game, to setup a rematch of the 2019 Super Bowl. 

In 2023, the Super Bowl was contested by the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, with the Chiefs running out 38-35 victors.

Previous Super Bowl Winners

In recent history, when you think previous Super Bowl winners, many will think of the New England Patriots, such has been their dominance in the last two decades, but the New England Patriots’ era of dominance led by the indomitable combination of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady came to an end ahead of the 2020 season, with Brady’s move to Tampa. The Patriots have been the AFC’s representative in four of the last 10 Super Bowls, winning three of them.

More recently the Kansas City Chiefs, as of 2024, have represented the AFC in three of the last four Super Bowls, winning their first in 50 years, before losing three years ago to the Tom Brady-led Buccaneers. Despite the Patriots’ dominance, the AFC have only won 6 of the last 10 Super Bowls, with the NFC winning the most recent two following the Los Angeles Rams’ victory in Super Bowl 56.
