LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens won the game but the question in Las Vegas is how much was bet and won on the Super Bowl.

Bookmakers are projecting a moderate profit, despite losing big on proposition bets, including a long-shot on whether there would be a safety. Ravens P Sam Koch took a safety for the final score with second seconds left.

LVH book director Jay Kornegay said he thinks a record number of fans bet on the game this year, in part because California visitors wanted to put money on a local team.

The San Francisco 49ers started out as 5-point favorites for Sunday's game, but gamblers bet the line down to three points.

The 65 points scored in New Orleans easily exceeded the over/under of 49.

Late money poured in for the "over" wager and for the 49ers, who have built a reputation as a second-half team, Kornegay said.

Johnny Avello, director of race and sports at Wynn Las Vegas, said the big plays that characterized Sunday's game and made it fun to watch were gloomy news for sports books, which offer a growing list of proposition bets on everything from whether quarterbacks will throw interceptions to whether teams will score in the final two minutes of the first half.

"Everything that could've happened yesterday almost did," Avello said. "All the props — `Will this guy pass by this much?' `Will this guy make this many receptions' — all of those were `Yes.'"

"The safety was awful," he added. "When we cashed last night, it seemed like everyone had a bet on a safety."

Casinos paid out at 9-to-1 for the safety. Fans who bet that the 49ers' final score would be on a safety cashed in at 50-to-1.

Sports books also paid out big last year when the New York Giants played the New England Patriots and the first score of the game was a safety. Next year, Avello plans to lower the odds for that outcome.
