PHOENIX \u2013\u00a0 <\/b>The FanDuel Sportsbook was quiet. Hours before Super Bowl LVII between Kansas City and Philadelphia, bettors sat in comfy chairs. Several television screens showed various games across college basketball and the NBA, including an upset with No. 1 Purdue falling to Northwestern.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before <\/span>September 2019<\/span><\/a>, sports gambling was frowned upon in 49 of 50 states, except Nevada. As of<\/span> January<\/span><\/a>, 36 states have legalized sports betting, including Arizona. According to the<\/span> American Gaming Association<\/span><\/a>, a projected $16 billion was wagered on Eagles-Chiefs, with<\/span> 69%<\/span><\/a> of the bets leaning the Eagles\u2019 way.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Chiefs\u2019 38-35 victory over the Eagles was significant for the sports gambling industry, as Kansas City was the betting underdog and covered the one-and-a-half-point spread. Therefore, as the old saying goes in Las Vegas, \u201cThe house always wins,\u201d which was proven true Sunday night.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even without a ticket to the Super Bowl, football fans still could place bets around the state, including entertainment hotbeds such as Scottsdale and Glendale. One prominent sportsbook, FanDuel,<\/span> partners with the NBA\u2019s Phoenix Suns<\/span><\/a>. Arizona became the first state to host a Super Bowl<\/span> where sports betting is legalized<\/span><\/a>, including a Bet MGM sportsbook outside State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals and the site of the NFL season\u2019s final game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reed Wallach, a betting analyst for BetSided.com, says sportsbooks now recognize the economic benefits of in-stadium wagering, especially with Arizona\u2019s newfound acceptance of the activity.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cThe legalization of sports betting in Arizona has really led to this serious push from not only the state, but sportsbook operators because they\u2019re allowed to have \u2014 not free reign because obviously there\u2019s rules and regulations \u2014 but they\u2019re able to really live out in the open, and they don\u2019t need to (have the consumer) call their local bookie to get in a bet on the Super Bowl,\u201d Wallach said in a phone interview.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite in-person betting remaining an easy way to place wagers, the new generation of mobile sports betting continues to rise in popularity, as the NFL\u2019s season finale was no different. Fans could bet on everything Super Bowl-related, including the length of Rihanna\u2019s halftime show to the game\u2019s final score \u2014 all with a deposit and a push of a few buttons.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou can just hop right on your phone,\u201d Wallach said. \u201cI know there\u2019s a sportsbook right outside (State Farm Stadium). Sports betting is everywhere. You see the money being invested from these operators, whether it\u2019s your DraftKings or your FanDuels, but they\u2019re partnering with (the NFL) and everything. I think it absolutely is the new normal as more states come online and states start hosting the Super Bowl.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Wallach also said people want to have fun with their friends, making mobile sports gambling a new and innovative way to enjoy games, even if the consumer does not pick the winning team. Prop bets, futures, over-under plays and total point bets are just a few ways fans can have a stake in the action without cheering for one team or the other.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"FanDuel
Bettors watch several basketball games, including Ohio State vs. Michigan State, Northwestern vs. Purdue and the Boston Celtics vs. Memphis Grizzlies, hours before kickoff on Super Bowl Sunday. (Zain Bando\/MEDILL)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Zack Johnson, a displaced New England Patriots fan from Park Ridge, Illinois, went 2-1 on his Super Bowl bets as he hit two props and lost another, deciding not to pick either team to win. Johnson has been gambling for about two years and says next year\u2019s Super Bowl has a chance to be even more significant as America\u2019s biggest sporting event comes to the mecca of gambling \u00ad\u2014 Las Vegas \u00ad\u2014 in 2024.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c(The Super Bowl) will certainly get larger next year,\u201d Johnson said in a phone interview. \u201cAnd I think it could be in Las Vegas or, you know, Minnesota, and I think it will still be larger, just based on how the business is growing, the fact that there\u2019s seemingly a new company popping up every day with a sportsbook. There are more promos, you know, \u2018Risk-free, bet $5, get $200 (in free bets),\u2019 that kind of stuff. That just gets people into it.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As sports gambling coverage continues to grow across ESPN, Fox Sports and other major networks, it is arguably only a matter of time before sports bets become more critical than a post-game box score.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
