Self Reporting-SB Bets

Greetings!
I wanted to find a way to consolidate all of these Super Bowl betting threads now that the game has been played, and I simultaneously decided to delete a thread that may or may not have been in bad taste.
The purpose of this thread is to report, if you choose, with as much or as little specificity as you desire, how much you won or lost on Super Bowl betting.
The purpose of this thread is not to speculate on how much others may have won or lost.
For my part, I technically had two bets and each bet was with a friend of mine. I had $50 on SEA at +1.5 and $50 on DEN at +1.5, so I was kind of free-rolling a one-point margin of victory by either team for $100. One bet won and one lost, obviously.

I lost $480 on no safety to forum members.
I lost $100 on Denver -2.5 to a coworker.
I lost other non-monetary bets as well. Have to wear a Seahawks jersey for a day and have to change my Facebook profile/cover photos to something Seahawks related for 1 week.

I had $100 on the SEA money line at +125. This was my first opportunity to bet on the SB (I don't gamble online). I was able to get this bet in Vegas. Was anyone able to get SEA higher than +125?

I wanted to point out that AcesAndEights paid me VERY promptly for the safety in the game. He actually PMed me during the game but it took me a couple of days to get my email account sorted out so he could send me the amazon gift card (that was my requested method of payment). I PMed him with the details last night and I got an email with the gift card this morning. So, he is someone who you can definitely make a bet with, and trust that you will get paid if you win.
Thanks AcesAndEights!

I won a bet on the Safety
I won a bet at +250 on there being a Defensive or Special Teams TD
I won a bet on an onside kick occurring
I lost a bet on the halftime/fulltime being Denver/Seattle
I won a bet on Seattle +3.
I was up around $250 in the end.
Plus $50 up from a playoff predictions pool with friends.

Won on Seatle -3 1/3
Won on will anyone else other than the two starting quarterbacks throw a pass in the game
Lost on who will have the most offensive plays. Broncos ended up with more even though they were down 27 plays to 7 at one point.
Lost on will Denver score in every quarter.

What odds did you get on that?

Had Peyton manning under 288.5 yards passing and under 1.5 rushing attempts so 2-0. Funny thing, I was actually 1-11 the previous 12 bets I had made on sports!

There was a lot of drinking going on and I had multiple bets, but for some reason I'm thinking +155??
$100 bet got me back $255 maybe?

Congrats on winning, but that is kind of low IMO (remember that the money line was +125)

I lost $10 on a futures bet I made on Denver in March of 2013 while in Vegas. It would've paid 5-1.
I know...I'm a high roller!

They are 5 to 1 (or is it 5-for-1?) for next year too (at MGM/Mirage properties, anyway -- you might be able to get a better price elsewhere)

I'm going back in April this year. I'll make another bet for sure. I had the 49ers last year and Denver this year. Seems I'm pretty good at picking Super Bowl losers. LoL
So far I like: New England (if Manning retires), Carolina and Indianapolis. I think all 3 of those are steals at their current future odds. I'll have a pick locked in by April when I'm in town.

I also realized I lost on the superbowl MVP... he didn't thank anyone this time (normally, thanking his team mates fist seems to be golden. But then, they picked a Linebacker, and not the QB, so they were confused in the interview).

I lost $5 to a girl at work who knows I like to gamble.
I saved some huge coin because of buddy in LV telling me to bet with my head not my heart. My heart is with Denver, thank god I trust him, because the start of the year would have been horrible, I would have put most of my bankroll on the Broncos.
