NFL

The Super Bowl thriller between the Kansas City Chief and San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas set betting records at Nevada sportsbooks. More than $185.6 million was bet on Super Bowl LVIII with the state’s sportsbooks, the most ever, according to unaudited figures released Tuesday. The amount wagered eclipsed the previous high on the Super Bowl in 2022 by nearly $6 million.
