NBC Bay Area- 49ers-Seahawks Bets Cost San Francisco Fans Lots of Crab
San Francisco 49ers fans who wagered bets on the Seattle game were probably feeling a little crabby on Monday.
The owners of the Alioto-Lazio Fish Company at Fisherman's Wharf say many customers wagered Dungeness crabs on the game. They discovered the crab-wagering when they suddenly got a lot of shipping orders following the Niners loss in last year's Super Bowl.

Monday, they said they're starting to get a number of orders following Sunday night's loss.
Many of the orders are accompanied by notes.
The owners say the bets aren't just a couple crabs: They're sometimes enough to feed a whole office, including sourdough bread.
So far, the owners say they’ve had to ship crab as far away as Arkansas.
The Seahawks won the game 23-17. They'll face the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII on Feb. 2.
