Super Bowl Prop Bets Becoming More Ridiculous Every Year

It must be fun to sit in the meetings with the people who are in charge of creating the Super Bowl pro bets every year. The meeting would most likely begin with a profession of commitment to come up with the most illogical of ideas, then place betting lines on them.

The betting for tomorrows game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals has been slow this week, but that does not mean that the rest of the Super Bowl gambling will be down. People love their prop bets, and this year, sports books have come up with some unique ones.

Ever wanted to know what it would be like if LeBron James faced off with Larry Fitgerald? That answer will be revealed through one of the prop bets that pits James' points against Fitzgerald's receiving yards.

Commercials are always a big hit on Super Bowl Sunday and if advertisers are going to make money on the game, then sports books are going to make money on the advertisers. There are props involving how often animals will be seen in the commercials. among others.

Gatorade color that the winning coach will be doused with has become a popular prop bet over the past couple of years. This year, a bettor can also gamble on the amount of plugs NBC announcers attempt throughout the broadcast.

The general betting public loves these props. That is why they are getting crazier with each passing years. In the future, the actual game may not even have a betting line. Most likely it will never go that far, but the only thing that is certain is that if there is a line on it, people will bet on Super Bowl Sunday.
