The Ultimate Super Bowl XLI Prop Bet List

by user DNL
Sunday night is the Super Bowl. And what does that mean?
Lots of illegal gambling! Yay!
While we don't promote gambling, legal or otherwise, we do think proposition bets are fun. And the Super Bowl is fun. So Super Bowl Proposition Bets would probably be so much fun, we'd pass out.
How it works?
Each of the following bets has exactly two outcomes (well, three, if you include some weird outliers, ties, etc.). So, you'll need:
- A printer, to print out this page.
- A friend, to take the other side of the bet.
- Some degree of social skills, to decide which side of the bet you get and which falls to your friend. (NOTE: A coin can be a suitable replacement for social skills.)
- Something to wager. Because we don't promote gambling, we suggest "pride," or "bragging rights" or something else that's entirely worthless, like Canada. But to make this
funeasy to understand, we're going to make the wager "One American Dollar" per line. So you can win a lot ofmoney-- but most likely, you'll be owing your friendabout ten bucks, because it all evens outQuebec or a chesterfield or something.
Anyway...
ON TO THE PROPS!
(And of course, feel free to edit this page and add more prop bets. The more, the merrier. Creativity counts, spelling not so much.)
