And the recession shouldn't prevent people from gambling on this year's Super Bowl, says Gambling911.com Senior Correspondent, Jenny Woo.
"With $1, $5, $10 bets permitted at a number of online betting sites endorsed by Gambling911.com, we shouldn't let the recession get in the way of our fun," Woo said.
The mindset of any Super Bowl bettor (a large percentage of which will never have gambled over the last 12 months) is to only bet with money you can afford to lose.
"Super Bowl betting money comes under ‘entertainment'," Woo expressed. "A lot of people will be hosting Super Bowl parties and spending money on food, alcohol. You should add your Super Bowl bets to that expense."
That's not to say Super Bowl wagers can't pay out and, in some cases, pay out big.
A number of 2009 Super Bowl props - most notably those involving players and scoring margins can pay out $100 and up with a single $10 bet.
While the economy might not necessarily spoil the fun, state legal restrictions are a different story. Washington State is the only jurisdiction that explicitly makes placing a bet online a Class C felony. Ironically, that law went into effect the same year the Seahawks appeared in the Super Bowl. This year, their division rival, the Arizona Cardinals, are playing in their very first Super Bowl.
