Saturday Bets Evens Action Between Broncos and Panthers in ‘Vegas

peyton & cam (super bowl 50)

*To no one’s surprise, the early betting action on Super Bowl 50 in Las Vegas was heavily lopsided toward the Carolina Panthers.

However, according to ESPN, that is changing. So much money has been showing up on the Denver Broncos recently that some sportsbooks are beginning to wonder if they’ll be rooting for the Panthers come Sunday.

On Saturday, the Panthers were consensus 5.5-point favorites. They had opened as low as 3.5 favorites and attracted the bulk of the early money — as much as 90 percent at some Nevada sportsbooks.

But a midweek flurry of big bets on Denver from respected players, followed by weekend money on the underdog Broncos, evened out the action.

Sportsbook operator CG Technology reported “steady Denver money” on Saturday, including a six-figure bet on the Broncos. To begin the week, 86 percent of the money bet on the Super Bowl spread was on the Panthers at CG Technology. As of Saturday afternoon, that was down to 54 percent.

“Money coming in now pretty good on Denver, both side and money line,” Tony Miller, sportsbook director at the Golden Nugget, said Saturday. “We’re closing the gap with each hour. But still a long way to go.”
