People seemed to really like the Prop Bet Contest this year, as we tripled our participants from last year. Along with the higher numbers, we actually had quite a few people make money. Break even was $2300, so you can check the standings to see how much you'd have won/lost.
The top 5 in the Standings:
| Name | Total $$ | Correct | No Bets |
|---|---|---|---|
| JesseL | 5,313.48 | 13 | 0 |
| B.P. Glass 2 | 4,048.69 | 9 | 6 |
| golfhead4 | 3,718.48 | 14 | 0 |
| mtbod2003 | 3,694.30 | 8 | 11 |
| bonuts | 3,653.81 | 10 | 1 |
Congratulations to our winner, JesseL, who I think was a Saints fan based on his bets. Either that, or he was going for the Reverse Jinx. Overall, there were 44 people who would have won money. I would have lost a lot, which is why I don't bet on this stuff.
Some of the bets were not game related, so I'll go through those with the winners:
- Winner of Coin Toss: Saints. That makes it 13 years in a row the NFC has won the Coin toss. Pretty amazing.
- How long will it take Carrie Underwood to sing the National Anthem? 1:46. Check it out for yourself on YouTube.
- What will the TV Rating be? 45.0. Highest rated TV show in US Television history. Couple good story lines will do that, along with a huge snow storm in large markets.
- Which Super Bowl commercial will have a higher rating on USA Today's annual Ad Meter? Mars' Snickers. Wouldn't have been my first choice, but that's what USA Today says. I thought Doritos would make it 2 in a row, but they finished 2nd.
- What will happen with the Stock Market the day after Super Bowl XLIV? Saints Win, Market Down. Once again, the Stock Market is down the day after the Super Bowl. Over the past 5 years, the only time the Market was up after the Super Bowl was when the Colts won in 2007. The country needs the Colts to win, and the NFL should just comply.
- Who will record more Receiving Yards in the game? Push. Both Austin Collie and Pierre Garçon had 66 yards receiving, so you get your money back.
Everything else can be found in the box score. Here's the link to everyone's picks, so you can see how everyone did on each pick.
Full standings are after the jump (click on headers to sort). The column "No Bets" is the number of bets that you didn't bet on. Thanks everyone for participating!
