Congrats on the prediction win, I got the first match correct but I failed on the Bengals as I got too confident on the Rams thinking they'd win by a touchdown.

Yeah, thanks! I'm not sure now if I've got a good record in that line of predictions, but the way this season has been going, at least closer to the playoffs, it's been tight wins for the favourites or huge upsets -- and that theme continued. Perhaps it's also the way my mind works, I don't like betting on Asian Handicap more than just to avoid a draw situation so wide spreads look very unattractive to me. So much stakes too for all teams.

P.S. I just saw the massive massive prices for tickets... and rdbase explained elsewhere to me why they're so expensive. I had no idea! Year of the Tiger indeed huh!

[rdbase]

Superbowl ticket prices are very insane as one article I was reading said just one seat could get you a box seat at dodgers stadium for all 81 games.
That is how much these are selling for and well... It is in Los Angles so they can price them at these celebrity prices and people will still buy them just for the half-time show.

Here is a screenshot of another article describing how much they are pricing them at:

Nice read, rdbase, and yeah, I knew Super Bowl was big -- it's always mentioned in movies and film -- but it's still pretty ridiculous to get ticket prices that high. Average of 8500 per ticket? Is there no backlash from fans? You hear Arsenal fans complaining about tickets, I've to say even Man United tickets which I bought for a kid were priced way out of his earning range, and that was a regular weekend footie against a midtable team.

Anyway, don't forget to check out the Sportsbet Multimaster -- $100,000 cash prize for 10 yes/no Rams/Bengal questions. Easy, right? Haha.

I am favoring the Bengals because I really would like to see Burrow win it and putting the underdogs as champions.
Less than a week away so really close to see the game and those famous commercials.

[buwaytress]

Quite a few pretty looking specials on Sportsbet for Superbowl LVI, and if you take a boost every day, you can up the odds and get some good value:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/sportsbet-specials/daily-specials/super-bowl-special/matches

My thinking the best value bet here is 18/10++ on "Who does MVP thank first" market. Surely, his teammates, right?

Quarterback to win MVP... seems good value at 14/10++ . From history, 1 in 3 MVPs is a QB... What are WBs and RBs listed on ESPN as past winners? As the other betting options are wide receivers, running back fullbacks, and defensive players.

[rdbase]

Thanks for putting the link up to the Superbowl Specials.
Those are a wide variety of selections to choose from and the WR & RB are different from year to year due to the teams which are in the SB.
Just go with the QB as those are usually the MVP most of the time if they have a stellar game. ie. More passing yards and higher number of touchdowns.

The commercials being aired are mostly about crypto so keep an eye out for those.

The Gatorade color prop seems tempting, I kind of want to take orange but it'll probably end up being blue or clear.

Anyway, I got the Bengals to win @2.75 might add another bet for Bengals +4.5 since I really like the spread now that it moved a bit on their side. I must say it's also tough to bet against the Rams but if they continue to make mistakes just like what happened against the 49ers then we could see the Bengals catapult themselves to a Superbowl win.

[buwaytress]

@ralle14 Bengals were 125/1 at the start of the season, wish I'd had the wisdom to pick them *sobs* and they're the keen underdogs here so I might end up putting a freebet or two on them.

Can't believe I'm actually reading more and more about this Superbowl. Even the BBC is covering it quite a bit, 3 articles on landing page. Here's a bit of background on why crypto ads will dominate: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-60356210

An ominous word of caution though, a SB spot doesn't always guarantee commercial success

Enjoy the game, those watching!

As it ends the LA Rams won to complete the LA Story.
Alot were on the Bengals including myself because at those odds it was hard not too and Burrows was known for comebacks from most of their wins during the season. But not this night. They kept it clean all game long without committing a foul but within the last 2 minutes they had done the most costly one at the goal line with a hold. At that time you knew the momentum swung in favors of the Rams.

Alot of crypto influenced ads were played during the game but the half time show was the real success for the crowd who witnessed it live.
With all the big names on hand and a surprise appearance by 50 cent which wasn't announced to perform.

I must say both teams have their ups and downs, at the same time it seems like live betting was the play when you see the odds of both teams swinging up to 3.00 at one point. Stafford making some crucial mistakes which caused the Bengals to take the lead then their D line getting some huge sacks to compensate. It felt like refs bailed them out in the end though, with the two consecutive DPIs at the 4th quarter.  Luckily, I also took the Bengals spread and recovered a bit from my match winner bet.

It would've been sick if those odds actually hit.

Is there a place to see which crypto ads actually appeared? I don't mind watching some of these US ads -- they tend to be funny. Not as crazy or memorable as Thai ads, which are downright wacko, but not bad anyway.

It would've been sick if those odds actually hit. 

Next season I'm going for another 5 outright, this time though I'm going to put in ONE team with odds over 100. Anyway, finally saw all my outright settle yesterday. Been having 5 bets yet to settle cluttering my "My Bets" page -- nice they also gave me an instant Clubhouse boost haha.

See you at 58th everyone.

On youtube of course. Every ad displayed during the game can be viewed there.
Coinbase was the one everyone was talking about since it was just a QR code going back and forth just like on an old dvd player. Where it eventually crashed the site.
So it caused posts on twitter saying "coinbase doing coinbase things causing coinbase to crash".
FTX, etoro and crypto had theres.

[rdbase]

Coindesk did a run of those ads days later after the Superbowl was done and their effectiveness.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRXVCMhB41A
Seems that the one with the least flashing lights took it with over 20 million hits on their site within a minute of it being run.

[rdbase]

Some several days have gone by and there were other crypto-related commercials that had QR codes hidden.
The one with lebron james had one where if you scanned it could get you entry into a raffle for an nft on their platform shown below:

Don't think it still works as I hadn't tried it.
Another sharp eye on reddit caught a seed phrase in several spots during the same commercial if paused:



Only one I missed was Tom Brady in that FTX commercial but since he wasn't in this years Superbowl they ran it with Larry David instead.

Calvin Ridley, popular receiver for the Atlanta Falcons have been suspended from the entire 2022 season for gambling on NFL games. Previously the league last suspended a player for gambling in 2019. Josh Shaw, a cornerback for the Arizona Cardinals, placed a bet against his team while he was sitting out on injured reserve. He was suspended for the entire 2020 season and was reinstated by the league last year. Following the suspension of Calvin Ridley there were more memes around.

Tom Brady coming out of retirement to lead the helm of the Buccaneers.

Well the days at the retirement home in Florida didn't last long.
Guess 44 is the new 36.

I knew he'd come back at some point as I still think he could get another one if he really wanted to and at the same time, I wonder how much the future odds on Tampa Bay shifted after that announcement.

Also, unfortunate to the person who got the final touchdown ball that went up for like $500k.

Yeah it went for $500k but soon after the unretirement came to light the value dropped for the ball to $50k at most.
Because now it's just a game ball from Brady and not a one occasion monumental ball.
Has it only been six weeks since he announced retirement?
Wonder what got him to change his mind... but then again football is probably the only sport where it would be easiest to do so.

Pretty big news the other day:
Tyreek Hill from Kansas City Chiefs traded to the Miami Dolphins for a hell of alot of draft picks.
He was the highest paid wide receiver in the league with $120 million over 4 years.

Tennessee Titans become the first NFL to accept bitcoin for payment of their merchandise:

They join the switch to cryptocurrency just like other teams from different sports have in the last few years.
