Superbowl Sunday is known as the single largest gambling day in the world. For some it’ll just be a friendly bet, but for some compulsive gamblers, it’ll be a last chance to get even. Gambling expert Mike Stone says many Iowans will have a tough time staying away from wagering. Stone says “The best advice we have about gambling on Superbowl Sunday is not to try to make up all your losses on one bet. Obviously it might be better for some people if they didn’t bet, but that’s not realistic for the day or for our society.” Stone says about 100-mllion dollars will be wagered on the Superbowl legally in Nevada, while an estimated four-billion will be bet illegally with bookmakers across the nation.
