VSiN Forecasts More Than $300 Million to Be Wagered on Big Game, Marking Largest Regulated Gambling Handle in U.S. History

"The handle, or amount wagered on the Big Game, has grown pretty steadily over the past decade, breaking records in Nevada for each of the past three years," said VSiN CEO Brian Musburger. "Between that momentum and the addition of seven new states taking regulated bets, we're expecting the amount wagered this year to dwarf everything we've seen in the past."

Musburger added: "As more Americans take a little action on sporting events, we at VSiN are providing the news and analysis needed to inform those bets. In honor of one of our favorite weekends of the year, we're offering free access to our video content." 

Beginning Friday, Feb. 1, through Monday, Feb. 4, VSiN will provide free access to broadcast coverage at VSiN.com, including in-depth analysis of Big Game lines and prop bets. During this Free VSiN Weekend, the network's stable of sports betting experts will deliver 24 hours of specialized coverage leading up to the game, including a special pre-game show hosted by legendary broadcaster and VSiN Managing Editor Brent Musburger. 

Brent and the rest of the team will deliver the latest information and exclusive insights right up to the coin drop. Following kick-off, former NFL executive and VSiN host Michael Lombardi will be among the panel of experts covering the in-game betting markets and provide ongoing market analysis. Brent will again take the helm at halftime to provide a full analysis up to that point.
