With the Super Bowl approaching, more and more bettors are turning to online casinos to wager on the potential NNFL champion. The reason for a switch from land casinos to online casinos is the fact that it not only easier to place a bet with the online casino operator, but the online payouts are much more generous.

Thus, MGM Mirage casinos carry the Pittsburgh Steelers at 75 – 1, Harrah’s – at 50 – 1, while Gamblers’ Palace, the Internet Gambling site, features them at 100 – 1. The New Orleans Saints at 3.5 – 1 at Gamblers’ Palace, 3.65 at the Greek, while MGM pays only 3 – 1 and Harrah’s – 2 – 1, if the Saints win out.
