Bets on specific outcomes, like the length of the national anthem, are expected to account for half of the $7 billion wagered on the Super Bowl in the United States.
Rufus Peabody plans to bet more than $1 million dollars on this weekend’s Super Bowl, but he won’t be wagering on who will win the game.
“That’s essentially a coin flip,” he explained.
Peabody is an economics graduate of Yale University who used to work as a consultant to casino sportsbooks, helping them set betting lines.
