A record 132. 5 Million Dollars were bet on the super bowl in nevada. It was also the biggest day for William Hills race and sports books. Ben we took more, as far as handle yesterday, than we ever have, in the history of william hill u. S. The broncospanthers game shattered the previous record from two years ago of 119. 4 Million Dollars bet. Ben early in the week, we had about 85 percent panthers money to about 15 percent bronco money. The broncos money did end up coming in, over the weekend. So, i think at game time, we were about 6535. The broncos 14point win was favorable to the sports books but they would have won the most panthers win. Prop bets were also big. Ben we took 75,000 in handle on the coin flip. Knutson says the amount bet shows the magnitude of the super bowl. And fans say having a wager on the game adds even more interest. Andrew i feel like its easier to bet when theres only one focus game to talk about because its easier talked about, people understand it better, people focus on the stars better, and nuances that you can find. Ben even for somebody who isnt interested in football on a daytoday, week byweek basis, for the super bowl, theyre gonna choose a side, come out and have some fun, watch the game. You can already bet on next years super bowl. The 49ers have 501 odds to win the big game and the raiders are 301. Knutson says Sports Betting slows down after football season is over. The next big events are march madness and the kentucky derby. Covering the big story live, paul nelson, channel 2 news. If watching super bowl commercials is your favorite part of the game.

Sunny skies and high temperatures in the low 60s tuesday will give the week. Its been referred to as a circus even a war. The controversy surrounding rooftop solar in our state continues heating up. In december, the Public Utilities Commission Approved rate changes that, in effect, leave solar customers paying for more than they agreed to when they installed solar in their homes at issue now is whether existing solar customers should be grand fathered in and allowed to keep their original fees. Andi the meeting room was full this morning at the Public Utilities commission or p. U. C. Many there, solar customers themselves waiting to hear arguments in favor or against allowing them to be grandfathered in to the rate structure they signed up for. Brian suen we think its very unfair that we had this agreement, it was backed up by the legislature promoting alternative sources in our state Robert Bastien there will be no return on investment if the current standing rates are in effect the upfront cost for installing solar panels on your roof top can be tens of thousands of dollars. Recuperating that money can take some home owners 20 years or more. Reduced bills and money back for selling Unused Energy is how it all balances out. But a recent decision by the puc changed that. It left home owners reeling and has seen several Solar Companies brian i think its important that people outside our state our state understand that nevada is interested in renewable energy, otherwise we wont be able to attract people to come to live here and also business to establish themselves here that Bigger Picture has not only residents, but Business Owners big and small, worried about the future of our state. Robert basically has eliminated solar in nevada. You know, a lot of companies picked up and left as a result of that. Doesnt matter now whatever happens, i dont think youd ever attract them back that is yet to be seen, as solar energy in the silver state promises to be an ongoing issue in and out of the courtroom. As for whether or not existing solar rooftop customers will be grandfathered in to last years rates, were told a decision on that is expected this friday.

The first. Is that have to charge its participants a new tax. Nevadas Live Entertainment tax applies to concerts and events that offer Live Entertainment. And now. It applies to burning man. According to the official burning man website. The organization is challenging the decision. Based off of a change from the last legislative session. Burning man. Says it does not officially provide Live Entertainment. Its a nine percent tax. Which comes to an additional 34 dollars on top of the regular, 390dollar ticket. We asked some burners. If paying the tax will be an issue for them. Emily i think its worth the experience to go. And just, 34 extra dollars doesnt really affect in the whole scheme of things. Nichole it might encourage people to spend less before they go out there. I dont think its going to stop anybody from going, and i dont think that its prohibitive in its amount.

But there are also a lot of myths surrounding it. Well separate fact from fiction if youre pregnant, it may seem like everyone has advice to share about what you can and cannot do especially when it comes to what you eat. So in tonights health watch. We find out whats true and whats false. True or false, pregnant mothers are eating for two . Thats actually false, unfortunately. If you have a healthy diet prior to pregnancy we would like you to increase your calories by 300 calories a day. Food cravings are caused by the growing baby, true or false . I have to dispel that myth. That is not true. Mom may crave that and mom may want that, but the baby doesnt actually know what he or she needs quite yet. Babies actually need fruits and vegetables, protein and a little bit of carbohydrates, and a little bit of fat, so it can really develop in a healthy fashion. True or false, its okay to have an alcoholic beverage . What weve really discovered through research in pregnancy is that there really is no safe level of alcohol. True or false, you should only drink decaf while pregnant . False. So. A little bit of caffeine is certainly safe during pregnancy.

Garrett dearborn, with channel 2 sports if youve paid attention to our High School Basketball coverage this season you might have noticed the Bishop Manogue Girls Basketball team wins a lot. In fact they are undefeated in league play and their only loss was early in the season at a tournament in california. But the defending north champs had to go through a major transition in the offseason. Dalas colodny caught up with them at the Bishop Manogue miners Girls Basketball team has been steam rolling through their compitition as they eye a second Straight Division 1 north title. Except for their wins over reno and reed they have beaten every other Northern Nevada Team by at least 20 points. But the team underwent a coaching change from craig holt last year to Carlnel Wiley this year who had already worked with many of the girls at the nevada basketball academy. Absolutely. The holts i had to fill in with big shoes real quick and quick and fast and early. It is Team Chemistry early. Understanding they had to adapt to me changing so i think our whole culture changed. Yea i was super open minded, it was a new system and a totally new type of playing, but it is always fun just trying to transistion. It has been a lot of fun actually. I actually trained with wiley over the summer. A lot of these girls i have also trained with. It was a very easy transition. It was just trying to get to know his practice and coaching style. I really think it affected our team very well. This miners team is there depth. From their starters all the way down to what they call the bench squad their really is no drop off. They are able to score no matter what. Depth is good because it pushes and challenges them in practice. I have some very expieranced plyaers that also help me with my bench squad. So that is my bench squad they are awesome. It is great we can put anyone in and we know they can put anyone in we know they will play hard and work hard and they will do great things, it is awesome. I think so because we always need someone to come in and give us that extra energy, because we have expectations, and we know what we expect from one another so that holds us to another standard we want to achieve. We are in the final week of the regular season and you can see if the miners stay undefeated in the Sierra League this friday night on 2 the hoop. Dallas colodny channel 2 sports.
