There is something about the Super Bowl that brings out the crazy in all of us. There is a saying that during Super Bowl week; “If it moves then bet on it.” Actually, that isn’t all true because for the Super Bowl you can probably find a betting prop for the goal post. And it never moves.
I had a good laugh on Friday while listening to Mike Tirico and Scott Van Pelt on ESPN radio discussing all the “Crazy Super Bowl Prop Bets” offered by online sportsbooks. It was difficult to remember them all so I went to BetUS.com and wrote them down a few to share with you. Some of these might even tickle your betting fancy.
BetUS.com has posted all the odds in a moneyline format. If the odds have a minus (-) symbol next to a figure that is the amount one must wager to win $100. If the figure is preceded by a plus symbol (+), it’s the amount you win based on a $100 bet. Got it?
Here are several prop bets made available at BetUS.com. BetUS is the world’s leading online sportsbook and entertainment website.
