Nevada regulators recently overturned the rules restricting wagering on nonsporting events, paving the way for sports books to begin taking bets on things such as who will win the Oscar for best picture or who will be the next “American Idol” winner.
A tight Super Bowl went to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. And after further review, Nevada’s sports books also won a close decision.
All he wanted, Ben Roethlisberger said before the Super Bowl, was the ball in his hands and a shot to win at the end for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Roethlisberger got his wish, and bettors on both sides of the line anxiously wondered what would happen next.
Aaron Rodgers led the Green Bay Packers to a Super Bowl victory Sunday, and a majority of the betting public followed the favorite to a big payday.
