Legend Meets Legend in Super Bowl LV

PlayNow.com expects more than 25,000 bets

Vancouver, B.C., February 3, 2021 – Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are looking to become back-to-back Super Bowl champions, and all that stands in their way is the greatest quarterback of all time. On PlayNow.com, British Columbians are placing their bets on who will win this historic matchup.

The Chiefs are the favourite to repeat as champs (1.58), but Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2.45) are coming into Super Bowl LV with as good of a chance as any. With the Bucs listed as three-point underdogs, this year’s championship game could be one of the closest contests in recent years.

This wouldn’t be a Super Bowl without some quirky things to bet on. As always, PlayNow.com is offering Super Bowl novelty bets about everything from the over/under on the length of Eric Church and Jazmine Sullivan’s performance of the national anthem (117.5 seconds); what will be the first and last song of The Weeknd’s half-time performance; and the colour of the Gatorade dunked on the winning coach.

Players can also compete in PlayNow.com’s $20K Super Bowl Pool, by predicting the outcomes of 14 different bets. The player(s) with the most correct picks will win or share the guaranteed prize. Or, for those players who prefer to play at their local lottery retailer, approximately 60 Super Bowl-related bets are available on Sports Action.

In total, more than 550 Super Bowl-related bets are available on PlayNow.com and Sports Action this year, but, there’s one bet that players can’t make without a parlayed bet: who will win the game.
