10 winning wagers to make on the Super Bowl
By Case Keefer, Las Vegas Sun
The question of how betting action on proposition wagers stacks up to traditional methods, the point spread and over/under total, courses through town every Super Bowl.
The answer depends on who’s asked. Some sports book directors say their shops’ breakdown is 60 percent to 40 percent one way while conflicting reports indicate the inverse. Others shoot straight to the middle at 50 percent both ways.
Most have suspected that props would one day surpass the side and total for the last several years, but it’s never indisputably occurred. By my completely unscientific and wholly personal measure, however, it’s happened in 2015.
