Super Bowl 58 is offering some rather unusual prop bets. From predicting the outcome of a coin toss to guessing the duration of Reba McEntire's performance of the National Anthem, there are a variety of quirky bets to place. Some even speculate whether Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift might get engaged on the field or if aliens will make an appearance during the game. These outlandish possibilities are all open for betting in Super Bowl 2024.
If you have the desire to gamble and invest money this year, you are not the only one. Over 30 states currently allow some type of legalized gambling, and the total amount of money being bet is steadily increasing.
Based on information from the American Gaming Association, the number of American adults participating in Super Bowl betting increased by 61% in 2023. It is estimated that around 16 billion dollars were placed as bets on the game. It is anticipated that this figure will rise even further in the current year.
One of the aspects that is quite enjoyable to pay attention to are prop bets. We have selected five particularly distinctive ones from the Bovada Sportsbook.
The duration of the National Anthem is predicted to be either over or under 1 minute and 28 seconds. From the moment Reba McEntire begins singing until she finishes saying the word "brave," bookmakers worldwide will be timing the performance. Alicia Keys took 2 minutes and 36 seconds to sing the Anthem at Super Bowl 47, while Chris Stapleton took 2 minutes and 1 second last year.
The oddsmakers seem to have the belief that McEntire will have a straightforward and effortless performance this year.
Which color liquid will be poured on the winning coach of Super Bowl 58? This year, the most likely color is purple with odds of +185, followed closely by red with odds of +260. If you prefer a risky bet, you can go for the "No liquid will be poured" option with odds of +2000.
Usher and Taylor Swift are rumored to be performing together during the halftime show and singing "Shake it Off." However, there have been reports stating that Swift has denied this collaboration. It's possible that Swift is just trying to surprise everyone by keeping it a secret. If you're feeling daring, you can place a bet on this unlikely performance with odds of +25000. A $10 bet could potentially win you $2,500.
The Chiefs emerged victorious, and surprisingly, Taylor Swift accompanied the team to the White House and expressed her support for Biden. This proposition, though unlikely, has a higher chance of happening according to the odds (+5000) compared to her performing at halftime. This is the most improbable outcome.
Aliens conquer Las Vegas and the game concludes with a draw. The most unlikely outcome has a betting odds of +100000.
