Super Bowl 58 is offering some truly bizarre prop bets. From guessing the outcome of a coin toss, to predicting the duration of Reba McEntire's performance of the National Anthem, and even speculating whether Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift will get engaged during the game, there are plenty of unusual bets to place. And if that's not enough, you can even wager on the possibility of an alien invasion occurring during the Super Bowl in 2024.
If you feel the desire to gamble and place bets with money this year, you're part of a large group: over 30 states have now legalized gambling in some way, and the total amount of money being bet is increasing more than ever before.
Based on data from the American Gaming Association, the percentage of American adults participating in Super Bowl betting increased by 61% in 2023. Approximately 16 billion dollars were wagered on the game. It is anticipated that this figure will continue to rise in the current year.
One of the more enjoyable aspects to watch out for? Proposition bets. We have selected five of the most distinctive ones from the Bovada Sportsbook.
The predicted length of the National Anthem is 1 minute and 28 seconds. From the moment Reba McEntire begins singing until she finishes the word "brave," bookmakers worldwide will be timing the performance. 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 people who set the odds must believe that McEntire will have a smooth and trouble-free performance this year.
Which color will be used to pour liquid on the winning coach of Super Bowl 58? The most likely color this year is purple, 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 long odds at +2000.
Usher has invited Taylor Swift to perform with him during the halftime show and they will sing "Shake it Off." This news has generated excitement and speculation. Although there are reports suggesting that Swift has declined the offer, some believe that she may actually be planning a surprise performance to astonish everyone. This unlikely collaboration has odds of +25000, meaning that if you were to bet 10 dollars, you could potentially win 2,500 dollars.
The Kansas City Chiefs emerged victorious in a recent game, and as a result, there is a bizarre suggestion that singer Taylor Swift will accompany the team to the White House and publicly support Joe Biden. Surprisingly, the odds of this happening are +5000, making it more likely than her performing during the halftime show. These odds are considered to be the most unlikely of all.
Aliens come to Las Vegas and the game ends with neither side winning. The most unlikely outcome has odds of +100000.
