Super Bowl XLIV Betting Propositions from Bodog

What, you thought those guys will just let the big game this Sunday slip by without getting a piece of the betting public?

Just in case you didn’t know, Super Bowl XLIV is this Sunday in Miami, Florida where the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints play for all the marbles. It’s Peyton Manning going up against Drew Brees, Manning’s legacy against the city of New Orleans. If you’re not pumped up about that, then you’re probably one of two things; you don’t like sports or you’re just too enamored with Manny Pacquiao that you stick your head up his ass, talk about everything he does 24/7 and call it a sport.

As for the rest of us who do love sports, more specifically football, the Super Bowl match-up between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints should be one heckuva’ game. Hell, the conference championship games both teams played on a couple of weeks ago was one of the highest rated football games on TV already. Super Bowl XLIV should be off the chain.

Of course, before the Indianapolis Colts take on the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl XLIV, sportsbooks across the country have begun to post all kinds of betting options for you to bet on and our guys from Bodog are no different.

One of which has odds on the Super Bowl commercial that will feature Tim Tebow and his family. The 30-second commercial produced and paid for by Christian group Focus on the Family features the now former Florida Gators quarterback and his mother Pam and reportedly tells how Tebow would never have seen the light of day if his mother had heeded doctors’ warnings and had an abortion when she was pregnant with him.

Another one has bettors betting on which Super Bowl commercial will have a higher rating on USA Today’s annual Ad Meter. Bettors can bet on Budweiser, Go Daddy.com, Coke and Doritos, among others. I don’t think we’ll see those commercials that feature Peyton Manning before.

Ya’ll can also bet on the Super Bowl’s ratings. Bodog is letting bettors bet on what the Nielsen TV Rating will be for Super Bowl XLIV. Online bettors can choose Over 42.9 Nielsen Rating or Under 42.9 Nielsen Rating.

Another interesting betting proposition is on how many current NFL players will be arrested during Super Bowl week. Online bettors can wage on 2.55 Over and 1.53 Under provided that the player must be on a current NFL roster. Arrests must happen between Monday, February 1st at 12:01am to Sunday, February 7th at 11:59 pm. I wonder what will happen if Drew Brees got arrested?

Crazy shit.

Singing of the national anthem in the Super Bowl is a big deal for this event and Carrie Underwood will have the honor this year. She will join the likes of Whitney Houston, Jennifer Hudson in 2009 and Jordin Sparks in 2008, who have all graced this event.

Of course, Bodog also has a betting option for that as they let bettors bet on how long will it take Carrie Underwood to sing the national anthem. Online bettors have Over 1 Minute and 42 Seconds and Under 1 Minute and 42 Seconds. Clock will start as soon as she sings the first note and stops when she sings her last note.

Last but certainly not the least, Bodog is also letting bettors bet on the color of the Gatorade that will be dumped on the head coach of the winning Super Bowl team. Gatorade has five flavors, lime green is tagged at 6.50, yellow at 1.91, orange is at 6.00, red is 13.50, blue at 13.00 and water/clear is at 2.40.
