Nevada casinos win $6.86M on Super Bowl bets

Nevada casinos won almost $6.9 million on this year's Super
Bowl as bettors wagered $82.7 million on the NFL title game,
gambling regulators said Tuesday. The Nevada Gaming Control
Board said the win was $179,000 more than sports books won
last year, on $1.21 million more in bets.

The underdog New Orleans Saints beat the favored Indianapolis
Colts 31-17 in the Sunday game. Indianapolis started as a
four-point favorite when the matchup was set, according to
Las Vegas Sports Consultants, a firm that provides betting
lines to about 90 percent of the state's 182 sports books.
The Colts were a 4 1/2-point favorite in the Glantz-Culver
line, with the over-under at 55 1/2 points.

Jay Kornegay, executive director of the race and sports book
at the Las Vegas Hilton, said results were hurt by bad weather
in the northeastern United States, which prevented some gamblers
from making planned trips to bet on the game in Sin City. But
he said the bets taken on the game were indicative of today's
struggles for casinos in Las Vegas.

"We thought the Super Bowl was a great measuring stick of
the economy and we think the economy is just a little better
than what it was last year," Kornegay said. Kornegay said
his sports book accepted 14 percent more wagers than it did
last year, but average bets were lower. Nevada's biggest
Super Bowl win in the last 10 years was in 2005, when the
New England Patriots topped the Philadelphia Eagles and
casinos won $15.4 million. Bettors wagered the most in 2006,
when $94.5 million was bet on the Pittsburgh Steelers victory
over the Seattle Seahawks.

Nevada casinos lost almost $2.6 million in 2008, when the
New York Giants beat the favored Patriots. Kornegay said
the Hilton lost money on the game in part because it lost
money on normally lucrative proposition wagers. Casinos
usually profit by offering long odds on unusual circumstances
players like to bet on - a successful 2-point conversion, for
example.

Saints quarterback Drew Brees threw a 2-point conversion
pass to Lance Moore in the fourth quarter that was initially
called incomplete, but was overturned by referees following a
Saints challenge. Other unsuccessful proposition bets for
the Hilton included an interception returned for a touchdown,
which bettors won when the Saints' Tracy Porter intercepted
a pass from Colts quarterback Peyton Manning and returned it
74 yards for a touchdown to clinch the game.

"A lot of things happened in this game that normally don't
happen," Kornegay said. "Those are all props that normally
go the other way."

White Stripes object to ad for Air Forces Reserve

The White Stripes say the Air Force Reserve made unauthorized
use of their song "Fell in Love With a Girl" during an ad that
ran in certain markets during Sunday's Super Bowl telecast.
The White Stripes and their label, Third Man Records, said in
a statement on the band's Web site that the song was re-recorded
and used by the Air Force Reserve without permission.
The two-person rock band originally from Detroit says it takes
"strong insult" to the ad and says it implies the White Stripes
"encourage recruitment during a war that we do not support."
The Air Force Reserve said in a statement that the music in
the ad was original, and it never intended to use any existing
music or "to sound like any music by the band White Stripes."

Vegas police find lack of evidence in Rams RB case

St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson won't face criminal
charges over allegations that he beat a girlfriend who was
nine months pregnant with the couple's child at his Las Vegas
home last year, a police spokeswoman said Tuesday.

Investigators found insufficient evidence that Jackson, 26,
attacked Supriya Harris of Mableton, Ga., in March 2009,
Las Vegas police Officer Barbara Morgan said.
"Our investigation is complete," said Morgan, a department
spokeswoman. "I don't think the time passage was a factor
here. We contacted the victim, the accused and witnesses.
There's insufficient evidence to go forward with the case."

Morgan said the case will be closed, and that records relating
to the investigation would not immediately be released.
Jackson's publicist, Steve Caric, said the running back
had no comment.

Harris, 29, filed a complaint Jan. 27 with authorities in
LaPlace, La., alleging that the two-time Pro Bowl running
back repeatedly pushed her to the ground and "flung" her
against a door before his nephew intervened. Copies of the
report were posted online by CBS Sports and the celebrity
Web site TMZ. In it, Harris said she was treated at a hospital
for a cut on her hip from hitting a door handle.

Harris told police Jackson later urged her to say she was
injured during a fall in the shower. Jackson issued a
statement Jan. 28 through one of his agents calling the
accusations "untrue" and "hurtful."
The Rams issued a statement at the time saying the team was
aware of the allegation.

Parade for Saints gives New Orleans more euphoria

The Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints are celebrating
Mardi Gras-style. Carnival floats carrying players, coaches
and team owner Tom Benson started rolling through downtown
New Orleans for a victory parade Tuesday.

The celebration comes two days after the team earned its first
championship in franchise history. Quarterback Drew Brees and
other players were throwing beads into the crowds as confetti
floated in the air. One float carried an oversized replica of
the Super Bowl trophy.

The Mardi Gras-flavored parade includes 12 marching bands
and one float each from 10 krewes. The Saints' 31-17 victory
over the Indianapolis Colts capped just the ninth winning
season in the team's 43-year history.
