With nearly 100 percent of the bets going Minnesota's way on Sunday and the Vikings registering the heaviest betting volume of any team during the early afternoon games, online sportsbooks and Vegas establishments all got hammered.

Aim-listed Sportingbet is preparing to move up to the main market, having recovered from the disastrous impact of the effective ban on online gambling in the US in 2006.
