超级碗博彩是大生意，硬币折腾是最受欢迎的道具之一

根据美国游戏协会的数据，估计有2300万美国人在2021年的超级碗上撒了43亿美元

The Super Bowl is the biggest betting event of the year in the United States. Last year an estimated 50 million Americans wagered $16 billion on the game.

超级碗是美国今年最大的博彩活动。去年，估计有5000万美国人在这场比赛中下注了160亿美元。

According to Christian Cipollini, a senior trading manager who specializes in BetMGM’s NFL division, last year’s Super Bowl drew wagers equivalent to the total number of bets and money placed on a typical three-week stretch of every NFL regular-season game played during that span.

根据克里斯蒂安·米奇利（Christian Cipollini）的说法，专门从事Betmgm的NFL部门的高级贸易经理的说法，去年的超级碗吸引了赌注，等于在典型的每场NFL常规赛季中典型的赌注和金钱总数和金钱中，在此期间玩的每场NFL常规赛中。

“So obviously, that is huge, massive,” Cipollini said. “And obviously for us, it’s important to get a good result and make sure we do everything correctly because you get this game wrong, you really start off on a bad spot and you can imagine basically being three weeks’ down just off of one game.

Cipollini说：“很明显，这是巨大的，” Cipollini说。 “显然，对我们来说，取得好成绩很重要，并确保我们做得正确，因为您弄错了这款游戏，您确实从一个不好的地方开始，您可以想象一场比赛中基本上是三个星期' 。

“But yes, in general, it’s our most bet-on game and we anticipate this to be the most bet-on Super Bowl for BetMGM. Last year’s was pretty high, but we think this one will probably top it.”

“但是，是的，总的来说，这是我们最畅销的游戏，我们预计这将是Betmgm的最佳超级碗。去年的高度很高，但我们认为这可能会成为其中的最高水平。”

The Chiefs opened as 1.5-point favorites over the Eagles and Cipollini doesn’t expect that to move much, if at all.

酋长队以1.5分的最爱对老鹰队开放，而Cipollini并不期望这会有太大的动作。

“This line feels exactly where it should be,” he said.

他说：“这条线感觉正好应该在哪里。”

The total, otherwise known as the “over/under,” has jumped to 49.5 from 48.5, indicating bettors are hammering the over.

总数（也称为“超过/下）”的总数从48.5跃升至49.5，表明赌注正在锤击。

No one knows for certain, though, just how things might play out. One team could suffer a handful of turnovers, and the game could turn into a blowout in either direction. Based on all the simulations they’ve run, the folks at BetMGM are banking it’s going to come down to a coin toss.

但是，没有人可以肯定的是，事情可能会如何发挥作用。一支球队可能会遭受少数失误，比赛可能会沿任一方向变成井喷。根据他们运行的所有模拟，Betmgm的人们都在依靠它，这将归结为硬币。

Speaking of which, can you guess which specific bets draw the most action beyond the top three of money-line, spread and total?

说到哪个，您可以猜测哪种特定的赌注绘制了超出货币线，分布和总数的前三名？

“Outside of that,” Cipolloni said, “what usually comes next is some cobble of MVP, first touchdown score, and then for the Super Bowl, funny enough, the next biggest one is the coin toss.”

Cipolloni说：“除此之外，接下来是MVP的一些鹅卵石，首次达阵得分，然后对于超级碗来说，很有趣，下一个最大的是硬币折腾。”

That’s right, the game-opening coin toss. During last year’s Super Bowl in Las Vegas, the coin toss took in more money in the Vegas market than an NBA game and a pair of NHL games combined, according to Cipollini.

没错，可以打开游戏的硬币。根据Cipollini的说法，在去年在拉斯维加斯举行的超级碗比赛中，硬币在拉斯维加斯市场上收集的钱比NBA比赛和一对NHL游戏的总和更多。

“The coin toss is very, very popular,” he said, adding, “It is silly. The amount of money we take is always like shocking to me because it does feel silly. If you’re throwing $5 or $10, I’m guessing maybe from the public’s perspective you at least know the book isn’t after you on this one. It’s a coin toss; there’s nothing we can do.”

他说：“硬币折腾非常非常受欢迎，这很愚蠢。我们赚的钱总是让我震惊，因为这确实很愚蠢。如果您要投入5美元或10美元，我猜也许从公众的角度来看，您至少知道这本书不在您身上。这是硬币折腾；我们无能为力。”

Cipolloni said that setting more specific odds, such as the over/under rushing yards total for Eagles running back Saquon Barkley and the over/under receiving yards total for Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, is where things get a bit tricky for a sportsbook like BetMGM. As of Wednesday, those totals were set at 114.5 for Barkley and 64.5 for Kelce.

Cipolloni说，设定更具体的赔率，例如跑回Saquon Barkley的老鹰队的高/低码，以及酋长紧张的Travis Kelce的上/接收码总数，对于像Betmgm这样的体育运动有些棘手。截至周三，巴克利的总数为114.5，凯尔斯的总数为64.5。

Those numbers will be repeatedly adjusted and Cipolloni said most folks will continue to take the over.

这些数字将反复调整，Cipolloni表示大多数人将继续接管。

Patrick Mahomes is the favorite to capture Super Bowl MVP honors, something he’s already managed to win three times in his first six full seasons as the Chiefs starting quarterback. Barkley, meanwhile, has been the most bet-on candidate to win MVP, and some big money has started to roll in on Kelce, according to Cipolloni.

帕特里克·马霍姆斯（Patrick Mahomes）是获得超级碗MVP荣誉的最爱，他在前六个赛季中已经设法赢得了三场比赛，这是酋长队首发四分卫。同时，巴克利（Barkley）是赢得MVP的最佳候选人，凯尔斯（Cipolloni）已经开始赚钱。

One person, he said, has placed $25,000 on Kelce winning MVP, which would net a cool $400,000.

他说，一个人在凯尔斯赢得了25,000美元的MVP上，这将净获得40万美元。

Believe it or not, he said the betting public is also throwing a lot of cash on the two backup quarterbacks – Carson Wentz of the Chiefs and Kenny Pickett of the Eagles – as 250-1 long-shot MVP candidates. Bets are also coming in regularly on the two kickers, the Chiefs’ Harrison Butker and the Eagles’ Jake Elliott, as 500-to-1 MVP dark horses.

他说，信不信由你，博彩公众还向两个备用四分卫（酋长的卡森·温兹（Carson Wentz）和老鹰队的肯尼·皮克特（Kenny Pickett））投入了很多现金，为250-1的长期MVP候选人。酋长哈里森·布尔克（Harrison Butker）和老鹰队的杰克·埃利奥特（Jake Elliott）也定期进行两次踢球，作为500比1 MVP的黑马。

“They’re going to have to kick at least five field goals to have a chance,” Cipolloni said.

Cipolloni说：“他们将不得不至少踢出五个射门得分才能有机会。”

The real big-money bets will start pouring in next week, Cipolloni said, with some folks risking $1 million or more on specific wagers. As for me, I’ll stick with the friendly beer bet with a buddy or two but will be curious to see how some of the silly Super Bowl prop bets play out.

Cipolloni说，真正的大型赌注将开始涌入，有些人在特定的赌注上冒着100万美元或以上的风险。至于我，我将坚持用一两个好友友好的啤酒赌注，但很好奇，看到一些愚蠢的超级碗道具投注如何。
