The spread for this year's Super Bowl began with the New England Patriots being favored by 14 points. With the many bets that have been made since the two-touchdown spread came out, mainly by Giants fans, the spread has dropped to 12 points. This spread is one of the biggest in Super Bowl history but is not close to the 18.5 spread that was for Super Bowl XXIX for the San Francisco 49'ers favored over the San Diego Chargers, which the 49'ers would cover.

With the popularity of novelty betting, predominately on the Internet, there are now may online gambling sites that have prop bets where you can bet on everything from the coin toss to how many completions Tom Brady and Eli Manning will have combined and everything in between.

This Super Bowl is no different as there are small office pools to Billions being wagered on the Internet. The betting culture in the United States is in full swing this week and will culminate in the Super Bowl and after the game some bettors will be happy and some will not. That is the nature of betting.
