Sports betting companies like FanDuel are already seeing a tidal wave of activity ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in LV this Sunday.
'It's going to be the biggest sporting event in our history and we think in the country's history from a legalized sports betting perspective,' Matt King, CEO of FanDuel, told Cheddar on Thursday. 'And most of the money is on the Chiefs.'
Sports betting is now legal and active in 20 U.S. states and Washington, DC. Another five states have legalized it, but are still working on the regulatory framework.
In an effort to keep the company agile enough to continue expanding into these new markets, King says FanDuel is focused on optimizing the fan experience, as well as adding more staff to the company.
'Demand is off the charts and we need to make sure that if we want to be absurdly fan-focused, which we pride ourselves on being, that we have the team that can support that,' he said.
As a part of that fan experience, FanDuel offers a unique feature in letting fans parlay different bets in a single game. Because the Chiefs are so heavily favored on Sunday, this results in bettors also expecting big games from Kansas City stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
FanDuel Bets for Super Bowl LV (as of Feb. 4):
- Buccaneers vs. Chiefs (-3)
- 70% of bets and 84% of the money for the Chiefs on the Spread
- First TD Scorer: 14% of bets and 16% of the money on Chiefs TE Travis Kelce
- Super Bowl MVP:
- 11% of bets on Chiefs TE Travis Kelce
- 21% of the money on Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes
'It has a huge trickle effect,' King explained. 'People can basically put together a parlay of anything they want happening in the game. What you see is when people like the Chiefs, they'll also typically parlay that into Travis Kelce to score the first touchdown, Patrick Mahomes to throw over 200 yards, and other prop bets like that.'
While parlays are allowed on , they only allow bettors to place them across separate events. FanDuel is allowing the prop bets to be parlayed within a single event.
'They are really trying to express exactly what they think is going to happen in the game and we're the only place where they can do that,' King said.
DraftKings has enjoyed a lucrative life as a publicly-traded company. Since completing its SPAC merger in April of 2020, shares of $DKNG have more than tripled. The stock now trades north of $60 a share.
King said FanDuel has little need to tap the public markets anytime soon, especially after its recent $4 billion financing deal with Flutter Entertainment, which saw its valuation jump to $11.2 billion. Flutter now holds a 95 percent stake in FanDuel following the deal.
'As you'll talk to anybody who's gone public, it's a step in the process. It's not the end destination,' King said, but noted that the deal with Flutter means 'we have all the resources we could ever need.'
Michigan online sports betting became a reality on Jan. 22, roughly 10 months after operators began taking the state’s first legal bets in casino sportsbooks days before COVID-19 shut down most of the sports bettors wished to play. The FanDuel Sportsbook app, one of the most popular and recognizable brands, was among the first.
With Michigan bettors now free to bet on their smartphones and computers anywhere within state borders, they no longer have to worry about the possibility of those retail sportsbooks shutting down again.
Now bettors can utilize FanDuel’s easy-to-use mobile product sure to please new and old players alike.

You’ll need this information to get started:
- First and last name
- Home address
- Date of birth
- Phone number
- Last four digits of your Social Security Number
There is a possibility you’ll need to provide FanDuel a photo of your driver’s license if FanDuel cannot confirm your identity, but that shouldn’t delay you long.
As with any other state, you’ll need to be at least 21 years old to open an account, and you must be physically located in Michigan when you sign up. Geo-location software in your phone or computer will make sure that you’re within state borders and legally able to proceed.

What sports can I bet on for Michigan online sports betting?
Football Betting Guide
Michigan is full of sports fans because of the huge array of teams, many of them with histories of glory.
Every major professional sports league is represented, Michigan and Michigan State compete in the storied Big Ten conference and scores of other universities abound as cheering, and now, betting options.
Michigan’s big four professional sports teams have fabled histories and rabid fanbases, but all of them are in some vestige of … let’s call it rebuilding, meaning bettors might have to put their loyalty aside when making either pre-game bets or wagers after the games have already started.
The most successful of Michigan’s professional sports teams are the Detroit Red Wings, whose 11 Stanley Cup championships are the most for any American National Hockey League team.
In the National Basketball Association, the Detroit Pistons are three-time champions, but the golden age, make that “Bad Boys” age of Isaiah Thomas, Bill Laimbeer and Rick Mahorn is long over and the team hasn’t won a playoff game since 2004.

The Detroit Tigers, who have fielded lineups including Hall of Famers Jack Morris and Alan Trammell, continue to rebuild in Major League Baseball, but a highly regarded crop of rookies at least portends of better summers ahead. They might be a perfect place to dabble in futures wagering. More on that momentarily.
Oh, and those Detroit Lions continue to slog away. At least the National Football League franchise in Honolulu Blue has the national spotlight on Thanksgiving, if that’s a good thing.
What are futures wagers for Michigan online sports betting?
Futures wagers available at FanDuel allow you to make long-range predictions about the outcome of league championships or player awards.
Have a feeling on who will win the NFC North – Lions, really? – or the World Series – Tigers? Come on – then futures wagers are a great avenue to give sports betting a try.

How about the league MVP or which college star will be the top draft pick in the NBA draft? Bettors can make wagers on these markets before the season even begins or as it’s underway (the odds are better for you the earlier you bet) and then wait to see how they pan out. It’s getting paid for seeing something before anyone else.
