FOLLOWING A RECORD-BREAKING SUPER BOWL LVIII, TIPICO SPORTSBOOK SHARES BETTING INSIGHTS FROM THE 2023-2024 NFL SEASON

HOBOKEN, NJ, Feb. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tipico Sportsbook, a leading sports betting operator, is sharing comprehensive betting results from the 2023-2024 NFL season and Super Bowl LVIII (SBLVIII), giving the world a behind-the-scenes look at the teams and players that fans trust most with their money.

Sixty-nine percent of pre-Super Bowl moneyline bets were placed on the Chiefs, with a similar pattern on the spread. Bettors also won out on several of the most popular Taylor Swift-themed bets offered on the platform. However, a majority of MVP bets were placed incorrectly on Christian McCaffrey and Travis Kelce, and bettors suffered from the “bad beat” of the 47.5 point over/under line.

"We were surprised that the book did not see more regular season action on the defending Super Bowl champion, save for Travis Kelce’s unprecedented rise to cultural icon.” said Andre Zammit, VP of Sportsbook at Tipico. “However, behavior shifted by Super Bowl Sunday, with 69% of pre-match handle placed on the Chiefs to defeat the 49ers. Overall, we can confidently say that this season’s NFL bettors were more creative and engaged than ever before.”

Throughout the NFL playoffs, Tipico bettors participated in the “Playoff Pursuit” contest, competing on a national leaderboard to earn their share of tens of thousands of dollars in bonuses. Tipico also engaged bettors throughout the NFL season with the “Bet Against Your Rival” campaign, celebrating fan passion and tapping into their shared interest in embracing the league’s fiercest rivalries.

Looking back, bettors were rewarded for their trust in Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud, who topped the leaderboard of Rookie of the Year Futures bets, although the Texans were the fourth least popular team that bettors picked to win SBLVIII. While Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson fell short of the league’s ultimate prize, he proved many futures bettors wrong, ranking outside the top five leaderboard of MVP bets.

“Although bettors trusted NFL superstars in anytime TD bets and other prop categories, our list of top five anytime TD leaders may be deceiving, especially when these props were mixed within same-game and multi-game parlays,” added Sunny Gupta, Head of Trading at Tipico. “For example, Travis Kelce produced league-leading statistics but went seven straight games without a touchdown. Results were also favorable for the sportsbook on teams that fell short of preseason expectations, like the Bengals and Jets.”

Tipico Sportsbook launched in the U.S. in 2020 and is currently active in Colorado, Iowa, Ohio, and New Jersey. For more information on Tipico and betting markets available in the upcoming months, please visit https://www.tipico.com/us.
