Prop betting is a pastime for the poker community. So, many of our readers are ready to get some action on the NFL’s championship game. While we can’t provide advice on which sides to wager on, we’ll gladly inform you of the most intriguing – and goofy – betting options.

Maroon 5 an Odd Super Bowl Halftime Musical Selection

And we’ll start with the halftime show. Maroon 5 was a bit of a controversial selection given pop bands are more popular among teenagers and young adults than football fanatics. It’s sort of like having Metallica, one of the all-time great heavy metal bands, perform at a children’s birthday party. Or a Disney on Ice show featuring Dr. Dre with special guest Ol’ Dirty Bastard.

Questionable musical selection aside, there’s potential money to be made on the halftime show.

Which Song Will Maroon 5 Sing First?

*Per OddsShark

  • “One More Night” +300

Each individual sportsbook – online and offline – offers dozens, sometimes even hundreds, of prop bets for Super Bowl Sunday. You can even bet on God. Well, sort of.

  • Owner +550
  • City +1000

Donald Trump is such a polarizing figure within the poker community. So, for those of you who just can’t get enough of the President’s Twitter feed, you can bet on how many times he will tweet on Super Bowl Sunday. The over/under is currently at 6.

You can even bet on how long it will take Gladys Knight to sing the National Anthem (over/under 1:47). And there are less goofy wagers such as who will become Super Bowl MVP (Tom Brady is the favorite at +125) or which St. Louis Rams player will score a touchdown first (C.J. Anderson is the favorite at +300).

We’ll be monitoring Poker Twitter on Sunday to see how you’re all doing with your bets.
