More people than you may think wager on the Superbowl.
According to the American Gaming Association, 26 million Americans combined to bet $6.8 billion on the 2019 Superbowl.
President of sportsbook Fans Unite Darius Eghdami said Superbowl bets go beyond picking a winner.
'One thing about the Superbowl is all the different prop bets you can make,' Eghdami said. 'Everything from who has the most yards, to what color the Gatorade is, and I think I saw one that was which coaches nostril will we see first.'
According to Eghdami, the future of sports betting may revolve around competitive video games called Esports.
'Four or five years ago Esports was 0% of most sportsbooks handle,' Eghdami. 'Now it's probably between 3% or 5%, and we expect in the next 3-5 years it's probably going to be closer to 10%.'

Eghdami said Esports could soon eclipse two of North America's most popular sports.

The Superbowl kicks-off at 6:15 PM and can only be seen on CBS 5.
