What a game of fluctuating fortunes this years NFL Super bowl was. It looked to me that Seattle started better than Pittsburgh, but Pittsburgh went to the halftime break in front with a 7-3 lead. Pittsburgh came out after halftime and scored a touchdown and then was only 7 yards away from another which would have almost sealed the win for them, but Ben Roethlisberger threw an interception to keep Seattle alive. Unfortunately for Seattle Matt Hasselbeck returned the interception favor and Pittsburgh came out winners 21-10.
With Pittsburgh celebrating even when Seattle had the ball and was driving downfield and the game virtually over , we were still 'sweating' this last drive by Seattle. With the spread being between 3.5 and 4.5 for the last two weeks, a Pittsburgh victory by 3 or 4 points would not have been very kind to us at all. Thankfully, Stevens dropped the pass at the one yard line on forth down and the rest is history.
The amount of money wagered on this year?s super bowl was astounding. The game total alone we had well over $2 million wagered on whether it would go over or under the 47 points. The Pittsburgh result was ok, but while the ?sharper? money for the last two weeks was on Seattle, we had a big amount of money come on Pittsburgh just before the game kicked off.
Proposition bets on the Super bowl are always popular. The individual totals on some of the main players were the more heavily bet props,
For example,
J Bettis under or over 40.5 rushing yards - Public bet Bettis UNDER heavily
S Alexander under or over 90.5 rushing yards - Public bet Over
W Parker under or over 57.5 rushing yards - Public bet Over Heavily
B Roethlisberger under or over 219.5 passing yards- Public bet Under
M Hasslebeck under or over 240.5 passing yards- Public bet Under
Also the the 'Player to score the first touchdown' (Roethlisberger was 20/1)was a great prop for action, aswell as The 'player to win the Super bowl MVP' H Ward was 9/1 but luckily for us, not many people bet Ward.
Well our focus now at BetCRIS.com will be on March Madness which is just around the corner, and I personally are looking forward to the developments of this years NFL Draft and if Reggie Bush will be taken number one overall.
I hope everyone enjoyed the Super bowl, and bet a winner of some sorts.
