On a ESPN radio a day or two before the game, a gentleman in charge of posting the prop bets at the Las Vegas Hotel (was the LV Hilton) said the current odds on the safety there were 6-1 and he thought they might go down to 5-1. He added that most tourists don't want to vote on the "no" so that affects the movement of the odds. He added that when there is a safety or over-time, the casinos take a bath on those bets.

I nearly put $1300 on it but balked at the crappy -1300 odds at Caesar's Palace. Then just got off the plane to see how much money I saved! I figured a fair number of people on this board lost their shirt.
