If you are a sports betting man in Europe then perhaps you should turn your interest to the States as well as Europe for its own Champions League. The Super Bowl 2012 threatens to be the biggest Super Bowl yet, in terms of the amount of people who will watch it.
So, four facts you might want to know about the games history and background:
A)The Pittsburgh Steelers won the Super Bowl more times than any other team in its history. The Dallas Cowboys and San Fransisco 49ers have both won it five times but The Steelers have piped their record with 6 wins.
B)The name, Super Bowl was derived from a college football game which started in Pasadena, CA in 1902. It was later called the Tournament of Roses when it moved to the Rose Bowl Stadium in1923. It was because the stadium resembled a bowl that it was called a rose bowl.
C)The winners of the game receive the Vince Lombardi Trophy, which was named after the coach of the Green Bay Packers, after his death in September 1970, the Green Bay packers won the first two Super Bowle games and finally won it again in 2011.
D)The Super Bowl is amongst the most popular sports even on the planet. The only other sport that has more viewers is the Association Football's UEFA Champions League final. In 2011 a hundred and ten million viewers in the the United States of America tuned in to watch the final. It is such a huge event, the commercial airtime during the Super Bowl is at its most expensive as a result. Many artists have preformed before in its Opening Ceremony and at half times for free – simply because of the sort of exposure they are guaranteed to get.
It is definitely worth the odds if you are a betting man and both super bowl odds and nfl betting are a good place to start.
