Did you bet on the Super Bowl? If so, I hope you put some money down on the Ravens - or even better, on there being a power outage in the middle of the game. The odds on that must have been pretty long.
If you did make a friendly bet, you're not alone. According to the Wall Street Journal, 40 percent of all Americans have bet on the big game at one point or another. The most common bet was between $1 and $25 - 60 percent of those who had placed a bet said they had lost that amount.
Sixteen percent of those who had placed a bet claimed to have won $100, while just 7 percent said they had lost a $100 bet. Maybe the Journal should have also asked how many people had ever lied about the amount of money they'd won betting on the Super Bowl.
