No matter the teams involved, Super Bowl odds follow similar patterns year after year.
One of the most common gambling trends among Big Game bettors is heavy action on the point spread favorite countered by increased interest in the moneyline underdog.
In short, people who like the favorite will lay the lumber, and folks who side with the dog will pass on the points and play them to win outright instead.
This is the case for Super Bowl LX, with sportsbooks reporting resounding support for the Seattle Seahawks -4.5 (-110), but are more split in terms of moneyline handle, with plenty of New England Patriots +190 bets.
DraftKings report 66% of against-the-spread bets and 77% of ATS handle on the Seattle Seahawks -4.5, while the moneyline market shows 52% of bets and 54% of money on the New England Patriots.
Other operators, like BetMGM, show similar twists in action. They’re drawing 66% of ATS bets and 58% of handle on the Seahawks, but a more even intake in terms of outright odds, with 66% of bets and 52% of handle on the Patriots moneyline.
With a week of wagering still to come, those markets could see movement before kickoff on February 8. Bookmakers take in more than 90% of Super Bowl bets in the final 72 hours before game time, with most of that action coming from recreational bettors.
As of February 2, the market consensus is Seattle -4.5 with some sharper books on the higher end at -5. Moneyline pricing has the Seahawks around -230 with the Patriots coming back at +190.
