The Super Bowl is the most popular sports betting event in America. With hundreds of different types of wager available, there are bound to be some weird ones. Here are some strange Super Bowl bets being offered. I wouldn’t recommend putting money down on any of them, because there are better prop bets available, but if the odd bets are what get you excited, be my guest.
Christina Aguilera is singing the national anthem. The prop bet is how long it will take her to sing it from start to finish. If she sings it in under a minute and 54 seconds, it pays out 4/3.
William Hill has 72 betting markets for the Super Bowl and a prop bet of who the MVP will thank first. God is 11/10, the fans/winning city is 9/4, the players/teammates is 4/1, the coaches/owners is 7/1, his family is 12/1, Barack Obama is 50/1 and Jerry Jones is 50/1.
Another weird prop bet is what color the Gatorade shower will be at the end of the game. Yellow is the favorite at 10/12, clear/water is 3/2, orange is 5/1, lime green is 11/2, red is 12/1 and blue is 12/1. To note, the last time the Steelers won the Super Bowl (XLIII), the Gatorade was yellow.
Eurobet has a good one of the shirt number of first touchdown scorer. Over 50.5 has 10/11 odds and under 50.5 has 10/11 odds.
There are some funny TV prop bets, too. One includes how many times FOX will show Jerry Jones on TV during game. Live shot are the only ones that count. No past photos or previously-taped videos count. Over 3 pays out 5/4. Or, you could bet how many times FOX mentions Brett Favre during the game. Under 2.5 pays out 3/2. Everybody loves talking about Favre’s shadow looming over Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay and that talk could be put to rest this game. But it’s a bad bet this time since he still has to prove himself.
