It has been estimated two billion dollars will be wagered on the Super Bowl this Sunday. That number would be much higher if gambleholics weren’t saving some of their funds for the investment options available the night prior at “UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort.”
Saturday’s show takes place inside the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada and features a middleweight title scrap between champ Anderson Silva and Vitor Belfort.
While the Green Bay Packers have remained a steady 2.5 point favorite over the Pittsburgh Steelers, “The Spider” has dropped to a 2.5-to-1 favorite to retain his crown.
Silva was nearly a 3-to-1 odds-on favorite when the line opened a few months back.
