Safeties were a rare occurrence prior to four years ago.  The longest drought between Super Bowl safeties is eighteen years between Super Bowl XXV to Super Bowl XLIII.

Having three Super Bowls in a row with a safety scored is considered a novelty especially when one considers there have only been nine Super Bowls in which a safety occurred.

This was such a popular wager that the Gambling911.com crashed for nearly 15 minutes after the safety was scored in last year’s Super Bowl as hundreds of thousands of people sought the payout odds.

One would have to bet $10 to win $1 (with the $10 bet refunded) for a safety not to occur.  Gambling911.com believes this might be a sure thing, but then again, we said that last year too.
