$16 billion

The predicted amount that Americans will bet on this year’s Super Bowl. The American Gaming Association estimates that 50 million adults, that’s 1 in 5, will place a bet on this weekend’s game. The estimate includes legal bets and those placed with illegal bookies or just casually among friends. The expected amount is more than double the amount bet last year as the sports gambling industry continues to grow.
