Today is Super Bowl Sunday, a true American holiday.  Many people will go to a Super Bowl party, to a bar or just sit at home drinking beer and watching the game.

Update: Not a bad Super Bowl, if I should say for my self.
My record for the Super Bowl is 12 wins and 6 losses.  So, I would have won a bunch of money had I bet.
But not everyone listened as the sports book had a real nice day.
From the Las Vegas Sun:
The Not-So Super Bowl got the best of the vast majority of sports bettors.
Approximately 2 out of every 3 gamblers wagered on Denver minus-2.5 against Seattle all the way through Sunday’s kickoff, losing their money after a 43-8 Seahawks blowout victory.
“The patrons went 0-2 — crappy game and lost money,” William Hill sports book director Nick Bogdanovich said. “It was a good day for the books.”  http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2014/feb/02/las-vegas-casinos-seahawks-super-bowl-48-blowout/
