I saw on ESPN sunday they were showing some of the rediculous things you can bet on for the Super Bowl. I don't want to bet, but I do want to see them because some were really funny. I did a google search and coudln't find any of them. Does anyone know a site where they have them listed. I'm not talking about the normal ''who wins the coin toss'' crazy, but like Brady passing yards (-50) vs Shaq points or something like that. Thanks.
Yeah, they're called "proposition bets" or prop bets, and basically every casino or bookmaker has different ones these days.
Most of them have to do with the game itself -- such as who will score the first TD and stuff like that, but there are some creative ones.
Here are a few that I found:
1. What will be higher, the combined points of the Pats and Eagles, or the combined points/rebounds/assists of Allen Iverson on Sunday.
2. What will be higher, Freddie Mitchell's receiving yards or the Raptors' first-half points.
3. What will be higher, Corey Dillon's longest rush or the number of 3-pointers made in the Indiana-Illinois game.
4. What will be higher, Brian Westbrook's rushing attempts or the number of rounds in the Spinks/Judah fight.
5. What will be higher, David Givens' receiving yards or Vijay Singh's 4th-round score.
There are literally hundreds of these. Some of them even have to do with commercials.
If you want to find more, just go to any online sportsbook and look up prop bets.
Thanks for the info Pete.
Me and my buddy have been betting on the coin toss every year since 2001. And I've won every one. Tails never fails.
I want to make babies with Philip Hughes.
Sportsbook.com, one of the most reputable online gambling Web sites, has 25 pages of prop bets for Sunday’s game.
I heard one about the half time show-whether he's going to sing a Beatles song or one of his solo songs first. If I was him, I'd bet all my money on a Beatles song and then choose to sing one of them first.Originally Posted by Prickly Pete

Did you see how that kid screwed up the coin-toss. He just threw it flat. No toss, just drop. He definately had money on that.
My friend bet on the coin toss, and who would punt first. Also, a bunch of other things that had to do with "what would happen first".

The commemorative coins must be weighted unevenly.

I guess you were right. I lost a whopping 5 bones on heads.
