Super Bowl 58 is offering some truly unusual prop bets. From predicting the outcome of a coin toss to estimating the duration of Reba McEntire's National Anthem performance, and even speculating whether Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift will get engaged during the game. And if that wasn't enough, there's even a bet on whether aliens will make an appearance during the Super Bowl in 2024.
If you have the desire to gamble and bet money this year, you are not the only one. Over 30 states have legalized gambling in some way, and the amount of money being bet is increasing more than ever.
Based on the information provided by the American Gaming Association, the Super Bowl saw a significant rise in the number of American adults engaging in betting activities in 2023. This resulted in a 61 percent increase compared to previous years, with an estimated total of 16 billion dollars being wagered on the game. It is anticipated that this figure will continue to rise
One of the more interesting aspects to pay attention to are prop bets. We have selected five of the most distinct ones offered by Bovada Sportsbook.
The duration of the National Anthem is predicted to be either longer or shorter than 1 minute and 28 seconds. Starting from the moment Reba McEntire begins singing until she finishes the word "brave," bookmakers worldwide will be timing it. During Super Bowl 47, Alicia Keys took 2 minutes and 36 seconds to perform the Anthem, while Chris Stapleton took 2 minutes and 1 second last year.
The people responsible for setting the odds seem to believe that McEntire will have a smooth and effortless performance this year.
Which color will be used to pour on the victorious coach at Super Bowl 58? Purple is the top choice this year with a betting odds of +185, while red is a close second with odds of +260. If you prefer to take a risk, you can bet on the option of 'No liquid will be poured' with odds of +2000.
Usher and Taylor Swift are set to perform together during the halftime show, where they will sing "Shake it Off." However, there are reports suggesting that Swift has denied the possibility of performing alongside Usher. Perhaps this denial is just a strategy to surprise everyone. If you place a $10 bet on this unexpected collaboration, you could potentially win $2,500, as the odds for this bet are +25000.
The Chiefs emerge victorious, and surprisingly, Taylor Swift joins the team in visiting the White House and publicly supporting Biden. This possibility, despite having odds of +5000, seems more likely than her performing during halftime. The likelihood of this happening is considered to be very low.
Aliens take over Las Vegas and the game concludes in a draw. The most improbable shot registers at odds of +100000.
