Black Sunday betting made its mark off Cowboys in Super Bowl XIII

In the waning seconds of Super Bowl XIII, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach tossed a 4-yard touchdown pass to Butch Johnson.

Ultimately, it didn’t matter except that the 14 points the Cowboys scored in the final 2 minutes, 20 seconds of the game are footnotes of the Steelers’ 35-31 win.

Folklore in the annals of NFL history, it’s also known in Las Vegas casino’s as “Black Sunday.”

The final score was perhaps just one of three Super Sundays in the 50 years of the game, where bettors got the better of Sin City odds-makers.

Next week, Super Bowl LI will be held in Houston with New England taking on Atlanta.
