Super Bowl 58 is offering some unusual prop bets for bettors to place their wagers on. These bets range from predicting whether the coin toss will result in heads or tails, to guessing the duration of Reba McEntire's performance of the National Anthem. Some even dare to speculate if there will be a marriage proposal between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift on the field, or if aliens will make an appearance during the game. Surprisingly, all of these bizarre scenarios are up for betting in Super Bowl 2024.
If you're feeling the urge to gamble this year, you're part of a growing trend. Over 30 states have legalized gambling in some capacity, and the stakes being wagered are reaching new heights.
In 2023, the American Gaming Association reported a significant increase of 61 percent in the number of American adults participating in Super Bowl betting. An estimated 16 billion dollars were wagered on the game during that year. It is anticipated that this figure will continue to rise in the current year.
One aspect that can be quite entertaining to observe is prop bets. We have selected five particularly interesting prop bets from Bovada Sportsbook.
Bookmakers worldwide will be timing the duration of the National Anthem from the moment Reba McEntire begins singing until she finishes singing the word "brave." 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 of Super Bowl 58? The most likely option is purple, with red following closely behind. However, if you prefer a risky bet, the option of 'No liquid will be poured' has odds of +2000.
Usher has invited Taylor Swift to join him for the halftime show and perform "Shake it Off." However, there are reports suggesting that Swift has already denied the opportunity to perform with Usher. Nevertheless, some speculate that this could be a strategic move to surprise everyone. If you're feeling adventurous, you can place a bet on this outcome with odds of +25000. So, if you bet 10 dollars, you could potentially win 2,500.
The Chiefs emerge as the winners, and surprisingly, Taylor Swift joins the team on a visit to the White House and publicly supports Joe Biden. This possibility, although unlikely, has slightly better odds (+5000) compared to her performing at halftime. This is the most improbable scenario.
Aliens make their way into Las Vegas, resulting in a draw in the game. The most unlikely outcome, with the lowest probability, is a +100000 shot.
