Super indeed.
Last Sunday’s Super Bowl was a big win for the Los Angeles Rams, who toppled Cincinnati 23-20.
It also was a monster day for Tennessee sportsbooks as more than $23 million was wagered on the Super Bowl alone.
That capped a record-setting start to 2022 for sports-betting operators in the Volunteer State, according to PlayTenn.com, a website that covers sports wagering in Tennessee.
“The Super Bowl is always going to bring significant action, but five weekends of football in January that included an extra week of the NFL’s regular season and an expanded playoff was a particular boon for sportsbooks,” PlayTenn Managing Editor Alec Cunningham said in a news release. “With the NCAA men’s basketball tournament just ahead, sportsbooks should continue to see high betting volume numbers before seasonally tapering off in the spring.”
