Super Bowl Betting: You Better, You Better, You Bet
The Super Bowl is less than a week away and I bet you just can’t wait. Super Bowl Sunday has got to be the biggest gambling day in America. It’s the one day where even the super religious might take a chance in a Super Bowl pool.
Super Bowl gambling has become so big that you can bet on almost anything related to the Super Bowl. Besides betting who the winner will be, you can bet on an assortment of team or individual performances. You can bet who will be the MVP, who will be the first to score and even bet the over/under on the offensive production of both team’s stars.
Then the bets get weirder. Did you know that you can bet on what color will the Gatorade dumped on the winning head coach be?
- Yellow is the favorite at even money
- Green +250
- Orange +500
- Red +1500
- Blue +1200
Maybe you want to bet an over/under on how many times:
- Archie Manning will be shown on TV. The over/under is 4.5
- Kim Kardasian will be shown on TV: over/under = 2.5
- Hurricane Katrina will be mentioned: over/under = 3
How about some other Law and Order related bets, like:
- How many current NFL players will be arrested during Super Bowl week?
- None = minus 170 (meaning the odds of at least one is 37%) OR
Will a player give the crowd the “middle finger”?
- Yes = 8 to 1 against
But what if you’re not a football fan, or even a sports fan. Let’s say you’re a music fan. Well don’t worry, there’s something here for you too!
You can bet whether:
- The Who will smash a guitar on stage during the halftime show? No = -180 (meaning the chance is 35%) OR
- how many times will Pete Townshend do his famous windmill move? Over/Under = 6
So is Super Bowl Sunday for everyone? You better, you better, you bet!
