Super Bowl 58 offers some truly unusual prop bets. From predicting the outcome of a coin toss to estimating the duration of Reba McEntire's performance of the National Anthem, these bets are quite unique. There is even a possibility to place bets on whether Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift will get engaged during the game or if aliens will make an appearance. It seems that for Super Bowl 2024, you can bet on nearly anything.
If you have the desire to gamble with some money this year, you are part of a large group: Over 30 states have now legalized gambling in some form, and the total amount of money being bet is reaching new heights.
The American Gaming Association reported that in 2023, there was a significant rise of 61 percent in the number of American adults participating in Super Bowl betting. It is estimated that approximately 16 billion dollars were wagered on the game during that year. It is anticipated that this figure will continue to increase in the present year.
One aspect that can be quite amusing to observe are prop bets. We have selected five particularly distinctive prop bets from the Bovada Sportsbook.
The duration of the National Anthem is expected to be around 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. At Super Bowl 47, Alicia Keys performed the Anthem in 2 minutes and 36 seconds, while Chris Stapleton took 2 minutes and 1 second last year.
The oddsmakers seem to believe that McEntire will have a smooth and effortless performance this year.
Which color will be used to pour on the winning coach of Super Bowl 58? The most popular choice is purple, with red coming in as a close second. If you're looking for a riskier option, you can bet on the possibility that no liquid will be poured, which has odds of +2000.
Usher has announced that Taylor Swift will be joining him for the halftime show and they will perform "Shake it Off." Despite reports stating otherwise, Swift's denial of performing with Usher may simply be a tactic to surprise everyone. This unexpected collaboration has odds of +25000, meaning a $10 bet could potentially earn you $2,500.
The Chiefs emerged as the winners, and surprisingly, Taylor Swift joins the team on a visit to the White House where she publicly supports Biden. This proposition, although unlikely, has better odds (+5000) compared to her potential halftime performance. These odds are considered the least likely to occur.
Aliens have taken over Las Vegas and the game concludes with neither side winning. The player with the least chance of winning has odds of +100000.
