Americans have turned to underground bookies and overseas platforms to bet on big games for decades, but this year a record 7.6 million Americans are expected to bet online when the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV, according to the American Gambling Association.
The coronavirus pandemic is cutting into in-person gambling, as many sportsbooks are shut down and fewer people will participate in workplace betting pools.
23.2 million Americans are expected to place bets on the final NFL game of the year, down 12% from last year, and $4.3 billion is expected to be wagered, which is down 38%, according to the AGA.
The Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to play in the Super Bowl Sunday, February 7th, 2021 with kickoff scheduled for 5:30 p.m. The game has already been decided, though, with an expert making his pick for who the Super Bowl Champion of Super Bowl LV will be.
Not John Madden or Tony Romo. No, not Jim Nantz or Cris Collinsworth. The expert I m talking about is Nicholas the Dolphin, who is 6-0 all-time in his Super Bowl picks.
In Super Bowl LIV, he nosed the Chiefs in a close one. Super Bowl LIII was a porpoiseful pick of the Patriots. Nick also nailed the Eagles, Patriots and Broncos going all the way back to Super Bowl XLIX.
