LAS VEGAS -- If the Baltimore Ravens are to become Super Bowl champions, theyll have to beat the odds again to do it. Bookmakers in this gambling city mostly have the San Francisco 49ers 4.5-point favourites over the Ravens in the Super Bowl, amid expectations this could be the heaviest bet title game ever. "Its a monster matchup, brother versus brother," William Hill oddsmaker Jimmy Vaccaro said. "I believe it will top last years Super Bowl handle and could go higher." Some sports books didnt even wait until the clock ran out in the Ravens win over the New England Patriots to set the line. At the LVH sports book, a line favouring the 49ers by 4.5 points was put up just before the 2-minute warning, and bettors didnt waste any time to get money down on the game. "Weve got money coming in as we speak, it looks like it will be good on both sides," said LVH book director Jay Kornegay. "These teams mirror each other, but the 49ers are a bit more sexy now than the Ravens." At William Hill, which operates 75 betting parlours in Nevada, oddsmakers opened the game with the 49ers a 5-point favourite, as did some other books. But it was quickly bet down to 4.5 points, a line that seemed to be holding in the early betting. "We had what I consider a large bet come in at 5 points and moved down from there," said Vaccaro, who said he believes the line will hold between 4 and 4 1/2 points until close to the day of the game. Baltimore already is the first underdog of more than a touchdown to win both the division and championship playoff rounds. The Ravens were 7.5-point underdogs to the Patriots before beating them 28-13 to win the AFC title game. "The Ravens are the hot team now but theyre not getting a lot of support from the public," Kornegay said. "These are very similar teams, both can run the ball well, play smash mouth football and have two quarterbacks playing very good football." Last years game between the New York Giants and the Patriots drew $93.9 million in wagers in Nevada, just under the record $94.5 million bet in 2006 when the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Seattle Seahawks 21-10. Those who follow the betting industry closely say hundreds of millions of dollars -- possibly even billions -- will be bet on the game by the time the offshore sports books and illegal bookmakers take in their share. Like the LVH, some books in Las Vegas opened the game at 4.5 points, while others put their number up at 5. Most of the major Las Vegas sports books were at 4.5 points, with a few listing the 49ers at 4 points Sunday night. The over/under, where bettors can wager on whether the two teams will combine for more or less points than the posted number, was at 49 points at most books. Point spreads fluctuate on games, especially the most heavily bet ones, according to how much oddsmakers take on each team. A big bet on one team can sometimes send a line moving a half point one way or another, though most movement normally takes place in the days just before the game. Nevada oddsmakers also post hundreds of proposition bets on the game, everything from who will win the coin flip to which quarterback will have more passing yards. Those bets arent expected to be posted fully until later in the week. Vaccaro said the proximity of the 49ers to Nevada should boost betting on the game. Casinos have lost once only once on the Super Bowl the last 10 years, in 2008 when bettors gambled $92 million and casinos lost $2.57 million as the Giants beat New England, 17-14. ray ban sunglasses for sale .

Quarterback Tony Romo, owner Jerry Jones and other players, executives and staff members arrived at the service on a sunny but chilly afternoon at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas. Brent arrived earlier than most in a van with several other people and hugged an unidentified woman before walking into the building. Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said Monday the team would "support Josh 100 per cent in every way that we can," while the NFL has "no issue" with Brent being at team facilities, spokesman Greg Aiello said. Police in suburban Irving say Brent was speeding early Saturday when his vehicle struck a curb and flipped. Brown was taken to a Dallas hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The Dallas County medical examiner said he died after suffering blunt force trauma to his head and neck. Officers who arrived at the accident scene found Brent pulling Brown from the wreck, according to an arrest affidavit. However, a woman who arrived moments after the accident said Brent didnt try to save his friends life until she begged him. "Jerry was alive," Stacee McWilliams of Irving told The Dallas Morning News. "He was hurt. He was calling out, and his own friend walked away." McWilliams, a 40-year-old insurance company employee, said she was on her way home from her birthday party when she noticed the wreck and stopped. She told the newspaper Monday she could no longer talk about the case on the instruction of Irving police, and she did not respond to a message from The Associated Press seeking an interview Tuesday. Brents attorney, George Milner, told the AP that an investigating officer told him the womans story didnt match the circumstances surrounding Browns death. Milner said he was told that Brown "wasnt talking to anyonee.dddddddddddd He wasnt moaning. He was dead." Milner said the woman also told police that Irving fire personnel werent at the scene -- another fact that isnt consistent with what really occurred. "Not one person in the Irving Police Department has said one thing that is consistent" with the womans story, Milner said. Police spokesman John Argumaniz declined to comment on the account, saying only that investigators are interviewing "numerous" witnesses. Brent and Brown were teammates at Illinois, and Brown was rooming with the Brent while he tried to make the Cowboys active roster. A club where Brent and Brown reportedly spent at least part of Friday evening, Privae Dallas, has issued a statement saying its "deeply saddened by the events of the weekend" and that its co-operating with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission and police. "Privae Dallas is a club that offers its guests a special level of privacy and often caters to celebrities," according to the statement, attributed to the clubs human resources manager. "The safety of our guests is very important to us, and our staff is trained to follow the regulations set forth by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission." Comedian Shawn Wayans was at the club last Friday night, and a club promoter tweeted that a dozen unnamed Cowboys players were there ordering numerous bottles of a popular champagne. In Texas, the sale of alcohol with criminal negligence to an intoxicated person is a misdemeanour punishable with a fine of as much as $500 and up to a year in jail. The TABC, which enforces the states liquor laws, also can suspend or cancel the license of an establishment found to have served an intoxicated customer. TABC spokeswoman Carolyn Beck said the agency is investigating the accident, as it does all alcohol-related fatalities that come to its attention. She said the agency has been told the players were drinking at more than one location but she declined to be specific. ' ' '
