00:00
I think the good news is we have two of the best teams.
00:03
This isn't a quirky, fluky Super Bowl appearance.
00:06
Like when the Rams played the Bengals a few years ago,
00:09
fun Super Bowl, but it was a little bit of a curve ball.
00:12
We did not expect either of those teams
00:13
heading into the playoffs to make it.
00:16
On the NFC side, Philly was your one or two choice.
00:20
On the NFC side of Philly was your one or two choice
00:23
and the Chiefs were your number one choice in the AFC.
00:25
So we got some favorites going up against one another.
00:29
Yeah, it's a really good matchup in the Super Bowl.
00:31
Like we were just talking off camera
00:33
between the Chiefs, obviously.
00:35
They're now putting together this dynasty
00:37
and a really good physical Eagles team
00:39
with a lot of stars on both sides of the football.
00:42
And to no one's surprise, that means it's gonna be,
00:44
should be another great Super Bowl for the sports books.
00:47
We're expecting a total betting on this game
00:49
to grow 15% this year compared to last year.
00:53
And we're expecting about $15 billion total
00:57
to be bet on this game.
00:58
It would be the seventh year in a row
01:00
that there's a new Super Bowl betting record,
01:03
which obviously isn't surprising
01:05
when you go back to the Supreme Court decision in 2018
01:08
that allowed states to legalize sports betting
01:10
and really led to this whole boom
01:12
that kind of leads our whole lives.
01:14
So we now have 225 million Americans in 38 states,
01:19
Washington, DC and Puerto Rico
01:21
with access to sports betting, which is another record.
01:23
So if the operators are gonna be expecting
01:25
about a nine-figure opportunity here
01:28
when all is said and done,
01:29
which it's just tremendous for them.
01:31
You see the amount of money
01:32
that all these companies spend on the Super Bowl.
01:34
And it's also another great opportunity
01:36
for them to acquire customers at a low cost
01:39
as there'll be a lot of sort of casual eyeballs on the game.
01:42
Perhaps people haven't signed up for a sports book yet.
01:44
Perhaps people who will be 21 now
01:48
and this is their first Super Bowl they can bet on.
01:49
So I think what's really interesting is last year,
01:53
the public did pretty well in terms of the spread,
01:56
money line and the total,
01:59
leading to kind of this idea
02:00
that maybe the operators would actually end up
02:02
losing money on the game.
02:03
But what ended up happening
02:05
is they had a really good Super Bowl
02:06
because of the proliferation of player prop bets,
02:10
of same game parlays, they actually did a really good job.
02:12
So that was kind of the first Super Bowl I'd call this
02:15
in sort of this modern online betting world
02:18
where the traditional bets really don't matter
02:20
as much for operators.
02:22
If you look at any state,
02:23
it's about 1% of the money they take in bets a year
02:27
is on the Super Bowl.
02:28
So it's a huge amount of money we're talking about here.
02:31
And for the operators,
02:32
it's a really good chance to differentiate themselves.
02:35
Obviously, FanDuel has a kick of destiny.
02:37
They have different advertisements,
02:38
but it's gonna be really interesting
02:39
to dig into the numbers and see,
02:42
if you have all this money being bet,
02:44
how do they kind of profit from that?
02:46
And back to the matchup,
02:48
you have Travis Kelsey, you have Patrick Mahomes,
02:50
you have an MVP candidate in Saquon Barkley.
02:53
Jalen Hurts is on the Hulu commercials.
02:55
You have a lot of really big names
02:57
playing in the Super Bowl,
02:58
which should be really good for the prop bets,
03:00
for the anytime touchdown bets
03:02
that a lot of the books take.
03:04
Philadelphia is, it's in Pennsylvania,
03:06
which is a huge sports betting state.
03:08
The Chiefs don't play in a legal sports betting state.
03:11
Missouri has legalized sports betting,
03:13
but it doesn't have it yet.
03:15
But they've been one of the most popular teams to bet on
03:17
just for the past half decade.
03:19
So the fact that you have two really strong teams
03:22
with a lot of stars should be good for the bets as well.
03:24
Obviously, you'll have Taylor Swift on the broadcasts.
03:27
So it should be another record year
03:29
and really interesting to see what they do kind of,
03:32
now that they've kind of figured out this model
03:33
of not necessarily needing to win on the spread,
03:37
to win on the total, to win on the money line.
03:39
So limited data suggested about 25% of all the money bet
03:44
is gonna be at least in the same game parlay.
03:46
I think that's kind of shortchanging it.
03:48
I think that we'll actually see a lot more.
03:50
So it'll be really interesting to see what happens here.
