An estimated 23.2 million Americans plan to bet on Super Bowl LV, combining to risk potentially $4.3 billion -- an expected decrease of approximately 37% from last year, according to research by the American Gaming Association released Tuesday.
With the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, both figures are down from last year's estimates from the AGA, despite 36 million more Americans having access to legal sportsbooks in their state or jurisdiction. Similar research from the AGA last year estimated that 26 million Americans would combine to bet $6.8 billion on Super Bowl LIV.
The pandemic is expected to cut into the amount wagered at retail sportsbooks and reduce casual bets, such as office and squares pools that are made in social settings. Online betting on Sunday's matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, however, could increase dramatically, the research showed, with a record 7.6 million Americans potentially placing wagers on mobile betting apps and websites, a 63% year-over-year increase.
The research is based on an online survey of 2,198 adults conducted last week by polling firm Morning Consult on behalf of the AGA.
Since last year's Super Bowl, seven more jurisdictions have launched legal sports betting markets: Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, Montana, Tennessee, Virginia and the District of Columbia. Legal sportsbooks are now operating in 20 states and the District of Columbia.
As Americans moved away from offshore and unregulated bookmakers, more than $21 billion was bet at U.S. sportsbooks in 2020, up from $13 billion in 2019. More than $210 million in state and local taxes was generated from the U.S. sports betting market in 2020, according to the AGA.
'This year's Super Bowl is expected to generate the largest, single-event legal handle in American sports betting history,' Bill Miller, president and CEO of the American Gaming Association, said in a news release announcing the survey results. 'With a robust legal market, Americans are abandoning illegal bookies and taking their action into the regulated marketplace in record numbers.'
Las Vegas retail sportsbooks, typically packed on Super Bowl Sunday, are bracing for any potential decrease in in-person betting. An estimated 1.4 million Americans could bet in-person at sportsbooks this year, down 61% from 2020, the research found.
Less wagering in Nevada could be a net positive for bettors. Since 1991, when Nevada Gaming Control began tracking the betting results on the Super Bowl, the state's sportsbooks have suffered a net loss only twice (1995 Chargers-49ers and 2008 Giants-Patriots).
New Jersey sportsbooks haven't been as fortunate when it comes to the Super Bowl. Since the state launched a legal sports betting market in 2018, New Jersey sportsbooks have suffered a net loss on the past two Super Bowls.
Fifty-six percent of bettors in the AGA survey said they were planning to bet on the Chiefs, with 44% indicating they would be backing the underdog Buccaneers.
The Los Angeles Lakers started the season 10-0 on the road, but they’re looking to avoid a three-game losing streak on Saturday night against the Celtics.

The Lakers (14-6) have dropped back-to-back games to the 76ers and Pistons, thought the team was without Anthony Davis against Detroit. The Celtics are returning home after a four-point loss to the Spurs in San Antonio on Wednesday, but will quickly head back out west for the three-game road trip following Saturday’s game.

This is a really good spot for a Lakers bounce-back performance, especially as it’s expected that Davis will return to the lineup.
Both he and James are listed as questionable, but LeBron has been listed as questionable all season and hasn’t missed a game. I’m not reading too much into the Lakers’ collapse in Detroit, which came on the second night of a back-to-back following a last-second loss to Philadelphia.
The Celtics blew out the Lakers last year in Boston by 22 — but that Celtics team had a top-5 defensive rating, while Boston has slipped to 18th this season. LeBron James is going to be extra motivated to stop the Lakers’ slide, and there’s very little chance they endure another seven-minute scoring drought like they did in Detroit. Take the Lakers -2.5.
