Local casinos are expecting a record number of bets flowing into their sportsbooks this weekend as the Philadelphia Eagles take on the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship.
Live! Casino Philadelphia’s sports book manager Bryan Newman said the Eagles are 2.5 point favorites to win the game.
He said the casino’s expecting a record number of bets to flow in this weekend.
“This past week, just to give you an idea, was our second-highest bet count week since opening, since the beginning of 2021, which was impressive,” Newman said.
But an Eagles win could also be a loss for the casino as many people also placed bets for the Eagles to win the Super Bowl, which means the casino stands to lose a lot of money in payouts if the Eagles go all the way.
