Super Bowl 50: Hilarious Prop bets
By Keith Myers
Vegas has created some fun and creative and entertaining prop bets for Super Bowl 50.
The Super Bowl always inspires Vegas to generate some unique prop bets. This year is no different. There’s some extremely fun and silly ones out there. Just looking at places like OddShark, you can find quite a few entertaining ones.
For starters, this first one is classic, and still hilarious.
"WHO WILL THE SUPER BOWL MVP MENTION FIRST?Team +200God +200City/Fans +600Coach +750Family +1500Does not Mention Anyone above +225"
Cam Newton’s celebrations have been getting a lot of attention recently. Why not bet on them?
"HOW MANY TIMES WILL “DAB” OR “DABBING” BE SAID BY THE ANNOUNCERS DURING THE BROADCAST?Over 2 EVENUnder 2 -140HOW MANY TIMES WILL CAM NEWTON DO THE OPEN SHIRT SUPERMAN MOTION DURING THE GAME?Over 2.5 EVENUnder 2.5 -140WILL THE PANTHERS PLAYER WHO SCORES THEIR FIRST TD GIVE THE FOOTBALL TO A BOY OR GIRL?Boy -200Girl +150WILL THERE BE A PENALTY FOR EXCESSIVE CELEBRATION?Yes +250No -400"
Want to bet on the halftime show? They’ve got you covered.
"WILL LEFT SHARK MAKE AN APPEARANCE ON STAGE DURING THE SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW?Yes +1500WHAT COLOR WILL BEYONCE’S FOOTWEAR BE WHEN SHE COMES ON STAGE FOR THE HALFTIME SHOW?Black +150Gold/Brown +250White +275Silver/Grey +475Any Other Color +700WHICH SONG WILL COLDPLAY PLAY FIRST DURING THE HALFTIME SHOW?Adventure of a Lifetime +200Fix You +350A Sky Full of Stars +450Viva la Vida +500Clocks +750Head Full of Dreams +1000Paradise +1000"
You can even bet on the broadcast team. Keep in mind that Phil Simms will be one of the guys talking, so any bit of nonsense is possible.
"IF STEPH CURRY IS SHOWN ON TV DURING THE BROADCAST WHAT WILL HE BE WEARING?Personalized Carolina Steph Curry Jersey EVENCam Newton Jersey +300Any Other Carolina Jersey +500No Jersey +200HOW MANY TIMES WILL THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE BE SHOWN DURING THE BROADCAST?Over 0.5 -300Under 0.5 +200WILL THE ANNOUNCERS MENTION THAT KUBIAK WAS ELWAY’S BACKUP DURING THE BROADCAST?Yes +120No -160WHICH COACH WILL BE MENTIONED BY NAME FIRST AFTER KICKOFF?Ron Rivera -120Gary Kubiak -120HOW MANY TIMES WILL JOHN ELWAY BE SHOWN ON TV DURING BROADCAST?Over 2.5 EVENUnder 2.5 -140HOW MANY TIMES WILL ARCHIE MANNING BE SHOWN ON TV DURING THE BROADCAST?Over 1.5 EVENUnder 1.5 -140HOW MANY TIMES WILL “JOHN FOX” BE SAID DURING THE BROADCAST?Over 1 -140Under 1 EVEN"
The only way this next one ends up as “no” is if there are no challenges during the game.
"WILL MIKE CAREY BE WRONG ABOUT A CHALLENGE?Yes +135No -175"
Aren’t these next two the same thing?
"HOW MANY MILLION VIEWERS WILL SUPER BOWL 50 HAVE?Over 117 million -120Under 117 million -120WHAT WILL THE NIELSEN RATING BE FOR SUPER BOWL 50?Over 48.5 -120Under 48.5 -120"
Of course, there is also a football game being played. Perhaps we should mention some of the football related prop bets available.
"WILL LUKE KUECHLY RECORD A PICK 6 IN THE GAME?Yes +600No -1200WILL EITHER BACKUP QB TAKE A SNAP IN THE GAME?Yes +200No -300WILL CAM NEWTON BREAK THE SUPER BOWL RECORD OF MOST RUSHING YARDS BY A QB?Yes +275No -450WILL THE PANTHERS RUSH FOR A 100 YARDS OR MORE FOR A 32ND STRAIGHT GAME?Yes -500No +300"
These next three all feel like they might be related.
"WILL PEYTON MANNING THROW A PICK 6 IN THE GAME?Yes +300No -500WILL PEYTON MANNING ANNOUNCE HIS RETIREMENT IN THE POST GAME INTERVIEW?Yes +500No -1000WILL PEYTON MANNING BE SEEN CRYING AT ANY POINT DURING THE ENTIRE BROADCAST?Yes +600No -1200"
Even if this next one ends up as a yes, it won’t be a BeastQuake, so it shouldn’t count.
"WILL THERE BE AN EARTHQUAKE DURING THE GAME?Yes +1000"
