There is no accurate measure of how much money is actually bet worldwide on the Super Bowl each year.
However, monies wagered legally in the state of Nevada are closely monitored as the Nevada Gaming Commission requires that all licensed gaming facilities report their handle (amount wagered) on the game.
Last year’s duel between the New England Patriots and New York Giants drew $93,899,840 in action. It was the second highest handle in Super Bowl history.
