The Super Bowl is a marquee annual sporting event, drawing not just millions of viewers but also bookmakers looking to profit from the outcome expectation.
What happened: The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs are locked in a high-stakes encounter on Sunday at Super Bowl LIX, looking to get their hands on the prestigious Lombardi Trophy.
The Chiefs are the reigning champions, looking for their third consecutive Super Bowl victory.
In fact, President Donald Trump, who became the first U.S. president to attend a Super Bowl event, also leaned in favor of a Chiefs victory.
"I have to go with Kansas City," Trump said in an interview with Fox News. "It’s going to be just a great game."
Quite interestingly, cryptocurrency bettors differed from Trump's opinion.
Polygon POL/USD-based prediction platform Polymarket projected an overwhelming 93% odds of an Eagles victory as of this writing.
Notably, over a billion dollars were wagered on the outcome, making it one of the most hotly watched events by punters.

That said, even bettors on the federally regulated Kalshi also leaned in favor of an Eagles victory.
Super Bowl LIX is set to deliver an electrifying rematch between the two giants. At halftime, the Eagles were dominating the Chiefs with a scoreline of 24-0.
