The musical prop bets for the Super Bowl are out

You can gamble on anything today, but nothing approaches the amount of money that’s wagered on the Super Bowl. For the game between the Seahawks and the Patriots on February 8, there are a million things on which you can lose your money.

I’ve scanned some the gaming sites for prop bets relating to music. Here’s what I’ve found.

The Halftime Show

  • Who will make a guest appearance with Bad Bunny? Cardi B seems to the the favourite, followed by J Balvin and Jennifer Lopez. The ultra-longshots are Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber.
  • Will Bad Bunny wear a dress as rumoured? The odds currently sit between +150 and +200.
  • If he does wear a dress, what will it be? A ball gown is at +175 followed by a halter dress at +325.
  • If you want something with a potentially higher payout, drop a few bucks on the chances of him wearing a leather fetish outfit (+500).
  • How many people around the globe will see the halftime show: The over-under is 135.5 million.
  • Will ICE arrest Bad Bunny onstage? Yes: +2000. No: -10,000.

Other available bets:

  • Length of the national anthem: The over-under is 125 seconds.
  • The first song to be sung by the crowd: Country Roads (+100) followed by Sweet Caroline (-150).
  • On the broadcast, which will the first song played going to a commercial break during the game: Elton John (+100) followed by Pearl Jam (+150).

Sucker bet: Drake will bet big on the game and lose.
