Forget the game: 10 weirdest Super Bowl bets

LOS ANGELES (NewsNation Now) — With Americans expected to bet big on Super Bowl LVI on Sunday, some viewers who may be watching more for the commercials can still get in on some of the lighter action.

If touchdowns, interceptions and sacks don’t pique your interest, some interesting prop bets might.


What is a prop bet?

According to bookies.com, “A prop bet is a bet that isn’t made on the result of a game, but on an individual player or event in that game. Almost any bet on a game, with the exception of point spread, total and moneyline, can be considered a prop bet.

There are also other types of prop bets, ones that don’t require much football acumen, such as betting on who will win the coin toss or how long the National Anthem will last.

how do the odds work?

For example, +180 means that if you bet $100, you would win $180. On the flip side, -180 means you would need to bet $180 to win $100.

Here are a few of this year’s strangest prop bets:
