Nevada sports books lost a record $2.6 million on Super Bowl bets when the New York Giants upset the New England Patriots on Sunday.
The sports books handled just more than $92 million on the game, the third-highest amount ever but down for the second consecutive year.
The record was set in 2006 when $94.5 million was bet.
The last time the books lost money was in 1995, when the San Francisco 49ers blew out the San Diego Chargers, 49-26, and Nevada books lost $400,000.
