How much money was bet on Super Bowl 2024? Record numbers for wagers in Las Vegas

The 2024 Super Bowl was not only a thrilling clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, but it also set new records in the world of Sports betting.

While bettors eagerly placed their bets, the sportsbooks had their eyes on the prize. On average, the Nevada sportsbooks won 3.7% of the total action, making it the fourth-lowest win percentage over the past decade. Notable wins for the public included the overtime prop bet (at 9-1 odds) and backing the Chiefs, despite their underdog status.

But how much money was bet in Las Vegas?

Las Vegas, known for its glitz, glamour, and high-stakes action, played host to the Super Bowl for the first time. And boy, did it make an impact! According to the Nevada Gaming Control Board, sportsbooks in Las Vegas collectively accepted an astounding $185.6 million in bets on the big game. This figure destroyed the previous record of $179.8 million set during the 2022 Super Bowl.

Las Vegas has become the epicenter of the Sports world. Over the past year, it hosted major events like the Stanley Cup Final, WNBA Final, Formula 1 race, and UFC fights. These events have significantly boosted gambling revenue in Nevada
