Gambling has always amazed me. People are willing to bet money with odds against them. Me personally, I like to keep money in my pocket, especially in today's climate.But there will always be a person gambling, no matter what the economic conditions are. And this years Super Bowl is no different. So here are some of my favorite prop bets for Super Bowl XLIII.
- Who wins the coin toss
- Coin toss: heads or tails, yes you can bet what side of the coin it will land on during the coin toss.
- Team to score first
- Will there be a safety
- Will either team score 3 straight times w/o the other team scoring
- Will either team score with the last 31/2 minutes of the game
- What will be the first offensive play
- Shortest made field goal
- Jersey number of the first player to score
- Will there be overtime
- How many coaches challenges
- Duration of the game
- How many times John Madden mentions Brett Favre (OK I made that one up)
- How many foods John Madden mentions during the broadcast (This one is real)
- How long will it take for Jennifer Hudson to sing the National Anthem
- Who will be tackles by their hair first: Larry Fitzgerald or Troy Polamalu
Thank God, this isn't the way our money is being spent by congress. Oh wait......
Let's see how I do, just for fun.
