Super Bowl 58 is offering some really unusual prop bets. You can place bets on things like whether the coin toss will result in heads or tails, the duration of Reba McEntire's performance of the National Anthem, and even the possibility of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift getting engaged during the game. And if that's not strange enough, there's even a bet on whether aliens will invade during the Super Bowl in 2024.
If you feel the desire to gamble this year, you are not the only one. Over 30 states have now legalized gambling in some capacity, and the amount of money being bet is reaching new heights.
Based on information from the American Gaming Association, the number of American adults who placed bets on the Super Bowl in 2023 increased by 61 percent. It is estimated that around 16 billion dollars were wagered on the game. It is predicted that this number will continue to rise in the current year.
One of the more enjoyable aspects to pay attention to? Proposition bets. We have selected five of the more distinctive ones from the Bovada Sportsbook.
The estimated duration for the National Anthem is expected to be 1 minute and 28 seconds. 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 sing the Anthem, while Chris Stapleton took 2 minutes and 1 second last year.
The oddsmakers seem to believe that McEntire will have a smooth and uncomplicated performance this year.
Which color liquid will be used to pour on the winning coach of Super Bowl 58? Purple is the favored color this year, with red being a close second. However, if you're looking for a risky bet, you can go for the option of no liquid being poured, which has odds of +2000.
During the halftime show, Usher will be joined by Taylor Swift to perform "Shake it Off." There are reports stating that Swift has already denied performing with Usher, but perhaps this could be a strategy to surprise everyone. This bet has odds of +25000, meaning that if you bet 10 dollars, you could potentially win 2,500.
The Kansas City Chiefs emerged victorious in their recent game. Surprisingly, there is speculation that Taylor Swift could join the team on a visit to the White House and publicly support Joe Biden's candidacy for president. This unexpected possibility is considered to have a higher chance of happening (with odds of +5000) compared to her performing during the halftime show.
Aliens have infiltrated Las Vegas and as a result, the game concludes with neither side emerging as the winner. The most improbable outcome occurs when a shot with odds of +100000 is successfully executed.
