Super Bowl total dips at Las Vegas sportsbooks
The total for Sunday’s Super Bowl dipped a bit Friday at Las Vegas sportsbooks.
Seven books remained at the weeklong consensus of 54½, but five books — Caesars, CG Technology, Circa Sports, MGM Resorts and Station Casinos — were down to 54 on Friday afternoon.
No books were offering 55, which had been available at a few shops throughout the week.
The Chiefs remain a 1-point favorite at seven sportsbooks. Five others offer Chiefs -1½, though 49ers bettors have to lay -120 at Wynn and Treasure Island.
The South Point went to a dime line (reduced juice) on the money line, resulting in the best price on best sides around town, Chiefs -118 and 49ers +108.
Meanwhile, big bets continued to roll in.
South Point oddsmaker Jimmy Vaccaro posted a ticket on Twitter that showed a $75,000 bet on Chiefs -1 to win $68,181.80.
