I attended the Superbowl event with very little interest in football or sports in general. That didn’t change. But it was really interesting learning more about betting on the Superbowl. In my family we normally make a square and just bet on the ones digit on the ending score of both teams. The scores are put into a checker board and we put a quarter on each square that’s claimed by everyone and each square costs the person betting $1. Whoever has the winning score wins everything. At the event, we learned about betting on winning teams, winning scores and more, with bets having different returns if you are betting on the favorite or underdog. I found it really interesting and possibly worrying that the way the bets work are pretty similar to what I’m learning about in finance class. Not sure if that means that investing is a bet, but it’s definitely something to ponder.
