The National Football League (NFL) Super Bowl is just three days away. As this is the biggest sports festival in the United States, many people flock to gamble on the outcome of the game, and the stake this year is predicted to exceed the whopping 30 trillion won.
According to the results of a survey released by the American Gaming Association (AGA) on the 6th (local time), 67.8 million people, or 26% of American adults, will bet $23.1 billion ($23.1 billion) on the Super Bowl game to be . held in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA on the 12. About 30.8038 trillion won (about 30.8038 trillion won) is expected to be bet. This is about 1.45 times more than last year’s $16 billion (earned about 21.336 trillion).
AGA reported that the number of people who plan to make light bets with friends and family while watching the game reaches 36.5 million.
However, it was confirmed that 28.7 million people responded that they would bet money through legal gambling establishments. The rest were found to be involved in gambling through illegal gambling establishments.
However, AGA had a positive outlook, saying, “What’s important is that Americans continue to move into the legal market.” Currently, sports betting is legal in Washington DC and 38 states in the United States.
“The record interest in betting this year is a turning point for the US gaming industry,” said AGA President Bill Biller. “We will provide it,” he said.

AGA analyzed that the popularity of pop star Taylor Swift may have had an impact on the increase in the size of the Super Bowl share. This is because Swift, who is causing a global sensation, has been in a public relationship with Travis Kelce, the star player of the Kansas City Chiefs, who is playing in the finals. It has been said that people are even betting on some sites that Swift will attend her boyfriend’s game.
Meanwhile, the Super Bowl is the most anticipated event by 110 million American football fans not only in the United States but also around the world. Not only the game itself, but also the advertisements inserted between games and the halftime show also attract the attention of the public. Artists considered to be the biggest stars of their time, including Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna, have performed on stage. This year, a solo performance by legendary pop star Usher was announced.
