It doesn’t matter whether you’re tuning in because of the actual game, commercials or the halftime show, just about everyone in North America tunes into the NFL on Super Bowl Sunday. No one ever knows how the game is going to go or whether or not the halftime show will be entertaining, but the commercials and betting props are always a hit.
Every year, oddsmakers in Las Vegas release a list of betting props about a week before the Super Bowl and it always includes some absurd props. There classic entertainment props that everyone likes to get in on include the length of the U.S. National Anthem, colour of liquid poured on the winning coach and which song will the halftime performer open up with.
