Happy Football Box Day
Today the coffee tastes just a little better, the kids aren’t as loud, and housework doesn’t exist. For today is a magical day in American sports. It’s “Super Numbered Box For Winning Lots of Money Day”!
You know the one, right? Today is the “Big Game” in the NFL and people all around the globe will be tuning in to root for their favorite numbers in the hopes of winning untold windfalls of cash.
Who’s playing you ask? Who cares?!
The teams don’t matter silly. Most folks watching today couldn’t tell the difference between the Chiefs, the Saints, or the Yankees. Almost no one knows what the hell a Buccaneer is. They don’t care how many home runs are hit, goals are scored, or knockouts there are. It’s all about the numbers baby!
The Super Bowl is the largest American sports spectacle and the amount of people who tune in to the game is staggering. Last year, 99.9 million people watched and cheered on for their numbers to hit paydirt!
Speaking of numbers, people bet on this game as if it’s a law.
The American Gaming Association (AGA) estimates that 23.2 million people in the US will wager around $4.3 billion on this year’s game — The Lines.com
