These Guys Always Win

Ever year there is an enormous amount of lgambling action placed on the Super Bowl. This includes the legal stuff out in Las Vegas and the "illegal' betting done through bookies, social clubs and someone selling "squares".

The Nevada Gaming Commission announced that their casinos accepted $82.7 million in bets and had a net profit of $6.9 million. Not a bad take for a market that's out there.

No figures are available from the rest of the country. Nobody ever really talks about that.

With that in mind, Las Vegas odds makers have announced the opening odds for the winner of Super Bowl XLV to be played next year. The Pats were third at 10-1, behind the Colts 7-1 and Chargers 8-1.

The Saints are tied at 10-1 with the Pats, followed by the Cowboys, Steelers and Vikings all at
12-1. The odds will be adjusted throughout the off-season and during the 2010 season.
