6 Best Superbowl Prop Bets

 

You'd be stupid not to bet this


Sunday is the Super Bowl and gamblers everywhere are gearing up for the biggest weekend of the year.  But even if you're not a sports fan the Super Bowl has some pretty entertaining prop bets* that are sure to hold your interest as you put back a year's worth of beer and chili in under four hours.

For the game itself I've got the Steelers +3 (yeah like anyone bets the actual game), but that's a lot less interesting than the following 6 prop bets.* 

NB These are actually legitimate prop bets you can bet actual legitimate money on.  I recommend bodog

*If you don't know what a prop bet is, it's basically a bet on anything other than the outcome of the game.  For example.... 

Here are the best 6 prop bets for this year's big dance. (Plus my picks. Make some money, share it with me)


1. Will Christina Aguilera wear a cowboy hat while singing the National Anthem?
             Yes
  +275


Ahh the eternal debate rages on.  What could be easier?  She's in Dallas, we all know she's not shy.  Book this one.

2.  How Many Times will FOX mention “Brett Favre” on TV during the Game?

       Over
       2½
(-175)o
(+135)u
       Under

2½  are you kidding me?  I've got this one hitting the over before the end of the first quarter.  FOX's love of talking about Favre is second only to Favre's himself.  Easy money.

3.  What Color will the Gatorade be that is dumped on the Head Coach of the Winning Super Bowl Team?

                Blue
10/1
                Clear/Water
 9/4
                Lime Green
11/2
                Orange
3/1
                Red
5/1
               Yellow
3/2  








This one is tricky.  Also I'm confused by the distinction between lime green and yellow?  Which one is supposed to be the classic lemon-lime flavour?  I'd call it yellow, so then who the hell ever heard of lime green gatorade?  No wonder it's paying off at 11/2.  I think this a toss-up between orange and red.  Red's my favourite colour, plus it's paying out better so I guess that's a good enough reason.









4. What will be the Result of the Super Bowl XLV Coin Toss?

        Heads (Coin Toss)
-105
        Tails (Coin Toss)
-105  



Always a classic.  What are the odds of losing money on this one?  Tails never fails....

5.  Who will the Super Bowl MVP of the Game thank first? 

       Coach
  +1000
       Family
  +500
       God
  +150
       Teammates
  +200
       Does Not Thank Anyone
  +225
 
Tough one.  Anyone following the pre-game media blitz knows Rodgers (Green Bay QB) is in hot water with his teammates and Roethlisberger (Steelers QB) is in trouble with just about everyone else.  If it's Rodgers I like the teammates, if it's Roethlisberger I like the family.  Anyone else I think you gotta go teammates first right? I mean, it's not like football is an individual sport. That's where my money is.

6.  What will Fergie be wearing when she first appears on stage during the Super Bowl Halftime Show? 

      Skirt/Dress
+110
      Pants (Below Knees)
+125
      Shorts (Above Knees)
+250
     Thong/G-String/Bikini Bottom 
+1000


As much as I'm hoping for option D here, I'm not ready to put my money on Fergie coming out in a G-string.  Just doesn't seem in keeping with the Super Bowl vibe.  Lingerie bowl maybe (yes, that exists), but not the Super Bowl.  I think you can write off shorts too, because who wears shorts?  Given the recent weather in Dallas, my gambling instincts are telling me to bet pants.

There you have it.  Something for everyone and money for all.  Enjoy the game where ever you are on Sunday.  Cheers.  AM
