It’s nearly Super Bowl time.
As Americans, we like to pretend we’re excited to see the two best teams in the nation square off for 60 minutes of gridiron action, but we’d by lying. We’re only here for the commercials and the gambling.
And wow…is the gambling ever fun. But gambling on the game itself gets boring. Who cares what the final point spread is? I don’t and you probably don’t either.
Thank god for prop bets. Long a staple of every good Super Bowl party, prop bets let anyone, and I mean anyone, think they have a chance to win some money. Want to bet whether the Colts‘ final score is more than Dwight Howard‘s rebounds + points that day? You can do it. Want to lay down money on the first score being a touchdown? Yep, that too. Want to gamble on how many beers the table drinks by halftime? Yep, everything is up for grabs.
Cooper’stown is where I’ll be partaking in the magic that is the Super Bowl this year. We’re bringing cards, boards for prop bets and money. (We’re talking quarters and dollars here, people. Unless you want to give me twenty dollars. That’s cool.)
What are you favorite prop bets? What’s the best bet you’ve ever won? Lost?
Would love to include your ideas on our board this year.

Best prop bet I ever won: Total number of points in the first half greater or less than the number of pepperoni pieces on the pizzas we ordered. Took the over and won by 1 point (don’t remember the superbowl but we had like 3 pizzas).
Worst prop bet I ever lost (complicated division): Number of cheerleader shots – which team had more. Turned into a semantics war when you start trying to figure out if you count each cheerleader each time she’s on screen.
