SuperBook is the Westgate Las Vegas sportsbook that turned the Super Bowl prop menu into a cultural phenomenon. The book that inherited the Imperial Palace’s prop-betting innovation now posts 400+ game-play props for the big game, hosts the legendary SuperContest, and maintains one of the sharpest, most bettor-friendly reputations in the industry. Currently Nevada-only after pulling back from eight expansion states in 2024, SuperBook compensates with reduced juice on football (-108 NFL, -109 college), deep prop markets across major sports, and a willingness to take action that most digital operators won’t. For agents, SuperBook odds are available via the superbook key on The Odds API.
SuperBook at a Glance
The SuperBook’s story begins in the 1980s at the Imperial Palace on the Las Vegas Strip, where a sportsbook team led by Jimmy Vaccaro pioneered the concept of an expansive Super Bowl proposition menu. When that team relocated to the Las Vegas Hilton — now the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino — the SuperBook became the most famous sportsbook in the world. The cavernous 30,000-square-foot venue, with its wall-to-wall screens and stadium seating, set the physical template that every modern sportsbook attempts to replicate.
Jay Kornegay joined the SuperBook in 2004 and spent two decades as VP of Race & Sports Operations, building the book’s reputation for welcoming sharp action, maintaining deep prop menus, and running the industry’s most prestigious handicapping competition. In November 2024, Kornegay retired from day-to-day operations at age 61, transitioning to a marketing adviser role. John Murray, previously SuperBook director, was promoted to VP of Race and Sports. Kornegay was inducted into the Sports Betting Hall of Fame in 2024, capping a 40-year career that defined modern Las Vegas sportsbook culture.

SuperBook’s July 2024 withdrawal from eight states — Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee, and Virginia — was a strategic retreat, not a collapse. The economics of competing with FanDuel, DraftKings, and BetMGM in customer acquisition spending proved unsustainable for a book whose identity was built on margins and sharp market-making rather than promotional bonuses. By refocusing on Nevada, SuperBook returned to what it does best: running the tightest, deepest sportsbook in Las Vegas.
Why SuperBook for Props
Three qualities separate SuperBook from the field when it comes to prop betting.
Prop betting heritage runs deeper here than anywhere else. The Imperial Palace team that invented the modern Super Bowl prop menu literally moved to this building. That institutional knowledge has been refined across four decades. When SuperBook posts 400+ game-play props for the Super Bowl — released the Wednesday before the game, sometimes a day early due to demand — those lines reflect more experience pricing exotic propositions than any other operation in the US. Sharp bettors fly to Las Vegas specifically to bet the SuperBook’s Super Bowl prop menu because they know the lines are set by oddsmakers who understand these markets at an institutional level.
SuperBook is genuinely sharp-friendly. This isn’t marketing copy. The Westgate has historically accepted high-limit wagers at its windows that would get you flagged and restricted at DraftKings, BetMGM, or FanDuel within days. Kornegay was public about his philosophy: welcome sharp action because it makes the lines better. That ethos didn’t leave when he moved to an advisory role. Under Murray, the SuperBook continues to operate as a book that prices markets correctly and accepts the consequences rather than limiting anyone who wins. For prop bettors who develop genuine edges — whether through player-tracking data, injury analysis, or advanced modeling — SuperBook provides a runway that most digital sportsbooks simply don’t.
Reduced juice is a structural advantage. During football season, SuperBook prices NFL sides at -108 and college football at -109 instead of the standard -110. Selected games — UNLV, Thursday NFL, Thanksgiving, Christmas — drop to -105. These aren’t loss-leader promotions tied to new account sign-ups; they’re standing price reductions available to all bettors throughout the season. Over hundreds of bets, the difference between -108 and -110 is meaningful. It compounds.
Prop Bet Types on SuperBook
SuperBook covers the standard prop taxonomy with particular depth during the NFL season and marquee events.
Player Props form the foundation. Over/under lines on individual statistical outputs — passing yards, rushing yards, receptions, points, rebounds, assists, strikeouts, saves, shots on goal. SuperBook posts standard lines alongside alternates at adjusted prices. The NFL player prop menu is the deepest, with extensive coverage of skill position players and expanded lines during the playoffs. NBA, MLB, and NHL player props are available with competitive depth, though the total market count is smaller than FanDuel or DraftKings for regular-season games.
Team Props isolate one side’s performance: team total points, team total touchdowns, first team to score, team total three-pointers, team hits. These are particularly popular for SuperBook’s football menu, where quarter-by-quarter and half-by-half team breakdowns create dozens of additional markets per game.
Game Props address structural outcomes: overtime yes/no, both teams to score in the first half, race to a specified point total, first scoring play type. SuperBook’s game prop selection for NFL Sundays is among the most comprehensive in the market.
Novelty and Event Props are SuperBook’s crown jewel. The Super Bowl novelty menu is legendary — coin toss, national anthem over/under, Gatorade color, broadcast mentions, halftime show details, and cross-sport propositions comparing NFL players’ game stats to NBA players’ stats from that same night. These props are a direct continuation of the Imperial Palace tradition that created the category. SuperBook’s novelty lines are set by oddsmakers with more experience pricing these markets than anyone in the industry, which means the edges are harder to find — but the market is deeper and more two-sided than what you’ll find at digital competitors copying the format.
Key Features
The Super Bowl Prop Menu
SuperBook’s annual Super Bowl proposition menu is the single most anticipated prop release in the industry. For Super Bowl LX (Seahawks vs. Patriots, February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium), SuperBook posted approximately 400 game-play props and over 1,000 total wagering options. The menu was released at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, January 28 — a day earlier than the traditional Thursday release — because sharp bettors and media demand had made the release itself a newsworthy event.
The Super Bowl menu spans every conceivable prop category. Player props cover every starter and key reserve. Game props break the contest into quarters, halves, and drives. Novelty props extend to broadcast, entertainment, and cross-sport markets. Professional bettors prioritize the first hours after release, when mispriced lines are most likely to exist before the market corrects.
The SuperContest
The Westgate SuperContest is the most prestigious football handicapping competition in the world and one of SuperBook’s signature differentiators.
The Classic edition costs $1,500 to enter with a maximum of 10 entries per person. Participants select five NFL games against the spread each week for the 18-week regular season. The contest features 100% payback — no rake — meaning every dollar of entry fees goes back to contestants. Registration must be completed in person at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, and proxy services are available for out-of-state participants.
Additional contest formats include the College SuperContest ($500 entry, 14-week season), SuperContest Survivor ($5,000 entry, elimination format), and the Big Game Prop Contest ($100 entry, 30 Super Bowl props, up to 5 entries). The Prop Contest uses fixed lines set by the SuperBook that don’t move once posted — a format that rewards early analysis rather than line shopping.
Same Game Parlays
SuperBook offers same game parlays across NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and soccer. The SGP builder on the mobile app lets bettors combine multiple props from a single game into one wager. The interface is functional rather than flashy — you add selections to your slip and the system handles correlation pricing automatically. SGP availability isn’t as extensive as what FanDuel or DraftKings offer in terms of combinable markets, but SuperBook’s SGP pricing tends to be more favorable due to the book’s overall tighter vig structure.
Live In-Play Props
SuperBook’s in-play prop menu covers live betting on major sports with lines that adjust in real time. The NFL in-play experience at the physical SuperBook — where you’re watching the game on an 18-by-220-foot LED wall and betting live at the counter — is arguably the best live-betting environment in the world. The mobile app mirrors the in-play menu for Nevada bettors.
Props by Sport
NFL: SuperBook’s deepest and most competitive prop market. Regular-season games feature comprehensive player prop coverage for QBs, RBs, WRs, TEs, and defensive players. Playoff games get expanded menus. The Super Bowl prop list is the industry benchmark. Reduced juice at -108 on sides is a standing football-season promotion. This is where SuperBook’s edge is most pronounced.
NBA: Solid player prop coverage on points, rebounds, assists, threes, steals, blocks, and combo markets (points + assists, points + rebounds + assists). The menu isn’t as deep as FanDuel or DraftKings for regular-season matchups, but marquee games and the playoffs see expanded offerings. SuperBook’s NBA lines tend to be sharp, making them valuable reference points even when betting elsewhere.
MLB: Player props on strikeouts, hits, home runs, total bases, RBIs, and pitcher-specific markets (earned runs, outs recorded). Game props include first-inning run lines and team totals by inning. Coverage is more selective than football or basketball but competitive for featured games.
NHL: Core player props on shots, points, goals, and assists. SuperBook covers all regular-season games with basic prop menus and expands for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The NHL prop market is thinner industry-wide, and SuperBook’s coverage reflects that reality.
Soccer: Match props on goal totals, both teams to score, first goalscorer, and anytime goalscorer markets for major leagues (EPL, La Liga, Champions League, MLS). Coverage is event-dependent — Champions League knockout rounds and World Cup matches get significantly deeper treatment than MLS regular-season games.
Golf: Tournament outrights, top-5/10/20 finishes, matchup props (head-to-head scoring), round props, and make/miss cut. SuperBook’s golf prop menu is competitive for major championships and PGA Tour events but thinner for secondary tours.
Vig Analysis
SuperBook’s vig structure is competitive with — and in some cases better than — the major digital operators.
Standard point spread and total lines are typically priced at -110/-110 during most of the year, matching industry standard. During football season, the reduced juice promotion drops NFL sides to -108 and college football to -109, with select games at -105. This is a genuine structural advantage for high-volume football bettors.
Player prop vig generally runs in the -110 to -115 range on each side, depending on the sport and market. This places SuperBook roughly in line with FanDuel and DraftKings and tighter than Caesars or BetMGM on most standard player prop markets. Alternate lines carry wider juice, typically -120 to -140, consistent with industry norms.
For a more detailed picture of how SuperBook’s pricing compares to the broader market, see the Vig Index for real-time vig tracking across major sportsbooks.
| Market Type | Typical SuperBook Vig | Industry Comparison |
|---|---|---|
| NFL Sides (Football Season) | -108 | Below standard (-110) |
| College Football Sides | -109 | Below standard (-110) |
| Standard Sides/Totals | -110/-110 | Industry standard |
| Player Props (standard) | -110 to -115 | Competitive with FD/DK |
| Player Props (alternate) | -120 to -140 | Industry standard |
| SGP Correlation Vig | 15-25% overround | Tighter than most operators |
| Futures | Varies by market | Competitive |
The football-season reduced juice promotion is SuperBook’s most compelling pricing advantage. Over a full NFL season of, say, 200 side bets, the difference between -108 and -110 saves approximately 3.7% in vig — money that goes directly to your bottom line.
Betting Limits and Winner Policies
SuperBook’s approach to limits and winner treatment is the primary reason serious bettors maintain Nevada accounts specifically for Westgate access.
At the retail counter, SuperBook accepts wagers that would be rejected outright by most digital sportsbooks. Six-figure bets on marquee NFL sides are accepted at the window. Prop bet limits vary by sport and market — Super Bowl props have the highest individual limits of any prop market in the industry, while regular-season NHL player props carry lower maximums.
The mobile app has lower limits than the retail counter, consistent with how Nevada sportsbooks generally operate. Bettors seeking maximum limits visit the Westgate in person.
More importantly, SuperBook doesn’t aggressively limit winning players. The book’s philosophy under Kornegay — and continuing under Murray — treats sharp action as information that improves the market rather than a threat to be eliminated. This doesn’t mean limits don’t exist; they do, particularly on props with thin market structure. But the threshold for triggering restrictions is substantially higher at SuperBook than at DraftKings, BetMGM, or most digital-first operators.
For prop bettors, this matters enormously. Player props are where edges are most common and where digital books are quickest to restrict. A bettor who consistently beats DraftKings NBA player props might get limited within weeks. The same bettor at the SuperBook window might operate unrestricted for months. That window of unrestricted access translates directly into profit.

for market in bookmaker["markets"]:
for outcome in market["outcomes"]:
print(f" {outcome['description']}: {outcome['name']} {outcome.get('point', '')} @ {outcome['price']}")
SuperBook lines serve a specific role in agent infrastructure: sharp market reference. Because SuperBook is a sharp-friendly book that doesn’t aggressively shade lines for recreational action, its prices tend to be closer to true market probability than FanDuel or DraftKings lines, which are optimized for consumer-facing volume. Agents that compare prop prices across books should weight SuperBook lines as a reliability benchmark.
Key implementation considerations for agents working with SuperBook data:
- Line timing: SuperBook lines may post later than major digital operators for regular-season games but are among the first available for the Super Bowl and playoff events.
- Market coverage: NFL prop coverage is the deepest. NBA, MLB, and NHL coverage is solid but may have fewer markets than FanDuel or DraftKings for lower-profile games.
- Reduced juice detection: During football season, agents should account for the -108 NFL and -109 college football pricing when calculating expected value against standard -110 markets.
- Sharp signal: When SuperBook’s line diverges from the DraftKings/FanDuel consensus, it often signals where the sharp money has landed. Agents can use this divergence as a directional indicator.

SuperBook vs. the Competition
SuperBook occupies a unique position in the US sportsbook landscape — a legacy Las Vegas book operating in a market dominated by well-funded digital platforms.
| Feature | SuperBook | FanDuel | DraftKings | BetMGM |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| States Available | 1 (NV) | 24+ | 24+ | 24+ |
| Super Bowl Prop Depth | 400+ game-play / 1,000+ total | 300-400 | 300-400 | 250-350 |
| Standard Prop Vig | -110 to -115 | -110 to -115 | -110 to -115 | -112 to -120 |
| Football Reduced Juice | NFL -108, CFB -109 | No standing offer | No standing offer | No standing offer |
| Winner Treatment | Sharp-friendly | Moderate limiting | Aggressive limiting | Aggressive limiting |
| SGP Availability | Yes (all major sports) | Yes (extensive) | Yes (extensive) | Yes (extensive) |
| Contest Ecosystem | SuperContest, Prop Contest | DFS crossover | DFS crossover | None |
| Retail Sportsbook | Flagship (30,000 sq ft) | Limited | Limited | Extensive (via MGM) |
| Mobile App UX | Functional | Premium | Premium | Good |
| Loyalty Program | None (comp-based) | FanDuel Club | DK Rewards | BetMGM Rewards |
SuperBook wins on prop depth for marquee events, football-season pricing, winner treatment, and the contest ecosystem. It loses on state availability, mobile app polish, loyalty rewards, and regular-season prop breadth outside football. The calculus is straightforward: if you’re a serious bettor in Nevada or willing to visit Las Vegas, SuperBook is indispensable. If you need nationwide mobile access and a polished app experience, the digital operators have the edge.
State Availability
As of March 2026, SuperBook is available exclusively in Nevada.
The sportsbook previously operated in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee, and Virginia before withdrawing from all eight states in July 2024. The decision reflected the unsustainable economics of competing in customer acquisition spending against FanDuel and DraftKings, operators that spent hundreds of millions annually on promotional bonuses and market share battles.
SuperBook’s Nevada operation includes:
- Retail: The flagship Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, one of the largest and most famous sportsbook venues in the world.
- Mobile: The Westgate SuperBook app, available for Nevada residents and visitors with location verification.
- In-person registration: SuperContest and other contests require in-person registration at the Westgate, though proxy services are available.
There is no public timeline for re-expansion to other states. SuperBook’s parent company has previously indicated interest in a 10-state footprint, but the July 2024 contraction suggests that any future expansion will be selective and capital-efficient rather than a broad land grab.
Bottom Line
SuperBook is not for everyone. It’s available in one state, its mobile app is functional rather than beautiful, and it doesn’t offer the promotional bonuses that FanDuel and DraftKings use to attract recreational bettors.
But for prop betting specifically, SuperBook provides something that no digital-first operator can match: four decades of prop market-making expertise distilled into the deepest Super Bowl prop menu in the industry, a genuine willingness to take sharp action at the window, reduced juice on football that structurally lowers your cost of betting, and the SuperContest ecosystem that has made the Westgate the center of gravity for professional football handicapping.
If you’re building a serious prop betting operation, SuperBook belongs in your book portfolio — even if it means maintaining a Nevada account you only use for football season and the Super Bowl. The reduced juice alone can justify the account, and the Super Bowl prop menu is an annual opportunity that no other sportsbook replicates at this depth.
