Super Bowl Bets: $23.1 Billion Expected, But What Does it Mean?

Super Bowl Sunday has been an American staple for nearly six decades, but it will look much different this year than ever.

According to a recent study from the American Gaming Association, 68 million American adults are expected to wager $23.1 billion on this Sunday's matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers.

That means that 26% of all legal Americans will be wagering on "The Big Game" for an amount surpassing the annual GDP of Zimbabwe.

Yes, you read that correctly.

If you are a frequent visitor of BetSided, chances are you already have at least one bet locked in for the Super Bowl or at least know what direction you are leaning.
