Big Win for the Sportbooks

The Las Vegas Sportsbooks will anounce later this week that the "handle" or amount wagered on the Superbowl was near one hundred million dollars and with the favorite losing and a low score the books will have made big money. On top of that in the exoctic wager pools, the Giants scored first, it was a fieldgoal and the Patriots punted first. I would imagine that most everyone's parlay cards went down with that trifecta of events. So they they get the exotic money wagers as well. This is of course combined with a almost capacity crowd at each hotel in town charging 50-150 to just watch the game.
