Super Bowl XLIV Prop Bets Contest

PrintOnce again this year, even though the Colts are playing so we don't need any extra incentive to watch the game, I've set up a contest to pick all the crazy Prop Bets you can make on the Super Bowl. Last season, out of 49 entries, we only had 3 people that would have actually won money. We're all bad gamblers here, and I don't expect many more to do it this year either (subtle challenge there). Here's the rundown on the rules:
- There are 23 different bets, and you are given $100 for each bet. There is no way (in Google Docs at least) to actually put how much you want to bet for each one, so to make it easy, it is $100 each.
- You are not required to make a bet on each one. If you don't bet, you'll just keep your $100 for that one.
- A 4/1 bet would pay out as $500, as you'll get your original $100 back, as well as the $400 you earned from the bet. A 10/1 bet would pay out $1100.
- If you see something like (-150) next to the bet, that means you'd have to bet $150 to win $100, so the payout would be: original bet ($100) + 100/150 ~ $66.67 = $166.67.
- If you see something like (+150) next to the bet, that means you'd win $150 on a $100 bet. The payout for this would be: original bet ($100) + $150 = $250.
Let me know if you have any further questions. Contest ends at 6:00 ET Sunday, as I'm not positive when the coin toss will be exactly. I'm really disappointed the line for the team winning the Coin Toss wasn't favored one way or another, seeing the recent history of it...

Haha, some of these bets are hilarious
Looking forward to it!
I'm gonna win
No one else needs to enter their bets, I already have it wrapped up. Colts in a close one!
i don't know man
i’ve had some good luck at the OTB recently. i’d be surprised if i’m not in the top 10% of this.
This is gonna be fun.
I’m going to make a bet for each entry (Haven’t looked at them yet), to maximize the fun (and possible luck hitting).
Time to see if I have a future as a gambler.

I have a hard time believing that if the Colts win,
Peyton will not win the MVP. Rhodes or Addai should have won it in XLI, for example.

if the Colts win, Peyton gets the MVP
as long as he doesn’t throw more picks than TD’s.
Super Bowl 41 proved that.

I actually looked up a Youtube video of Carrie
singing the national anthem and it was exactly 1:42. I hate Vegas.

or nerves will have her speeding up
big stage there.
Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.
what stage could be bigger than American Idol?

The anthems
are pre-recorded. No nerves or desire to hold notes will come into play.

Finished.
For some of these, you have to have a huge problem to bet on.

Didn't bet on the commercials
As I won’t see the comercials.
As I looked through th ebets afterwards, I think I might have missed more. There are some that I don’t remember, at least.
"It's the greatest job in the world until Peyton comes off the field and you think his thumb might be broken and there's three minutes left in the AFC Championship Game and you're down by three to New England and you haven't taken a snap all year. Yeah, it's a great job until that point." - Jim Sorgi
the go daddy one will not air during the Super Bowl so needs to be taken off the list
The Horses font feet have cleared the huddle and as time slows it is also time for the back feet to clear and for us to declare victory!!!!! GO COLTS!!!

Hello, Ladies!
I think we're just going to use the old one.
There’s still less than 200 comments there, I think.

The Losers was referring to our guests from CSC.
We’re all winners on SB. Same initials as Super Bowl (and Antimony)! It’s FATE!
Antimony!
Wow. We can’t lose now.

Hello, Ladies!
would love to participate
but I just can’t place any bets associated with this game
How can you not love a team that does this?
Yeah, I said I would
but I don’t think I will. I feel bad enough about the fantasy football thing. I’m staying away.
