The time-honoured tradition of crazy Super Bowl exotic bets continues in 2019 as we take a look at the odds surrounding Gladys Knight and players kneeling in protest during the anthem.
The NFL Super Bowl is the original home of the exotic bet.
Taking advantage of the millions of neutral fans and eyeballs it attracted, bookmakers started putting in ‘joke’ markets 10 years ago and the exotic bet was born.
And what a game to have an exotic bet on, given the hoopla that surrounds it.
When looking at sports books for the Super Bowl the amount of betting options for punters is crazy.
There are many Super Bowl bets that have a 2 to 1 payoff, such as what team will score a touchdown first to which quarterback in the game will pass for more yards.
There are also many other 2 to 1 bets when it comes to Over/Under bets, such as will Tom Brady pass for O/U 300 yards or will the Patriots scored O/U 20 points in the first half?
There are a plethora of team and individual options here. The ones that take the eye often have nothing to do with the game.
Seven-time Grammy Award-winner, Gladys Knight, will be singing the National Anthem at Super Bowl LIII and there is no lack of wagers on how she will perform.
Will Knight sing the US National Anthem it in over or under 107 seconds?
Will her singing the National Anthem be O/U the time of the shortest offensive scoring drive?
Will Knight forget a word in the song?
Will Knight kneel or put up her fist during the performance?
Our tip is that Knight will put in a professional performance that avoids controversy. Get on her to sing the anthem in UNDER 107 seconds.
We strongly recommend that you take a look at Bovada to see what kind of exotic markets you can get in on.
The over-riding issue throughout the last two seasons has been NFL players choosing silent, peaceful protest during the US national anthem.
Players had been protesting a continued spate of police brutality and murder of young African Americans.
Bookmakers believe the protests will continue on the game’s biggest stage, offering +400 odds for players taking a knee during the anthem. You can get -700 odds for no players kneeling.
