Bodog Props

See any locks you like?

I am going to go over all of them tonight and tomorrow, there is always one or two out there where you can get good money odds that will come through.

Sure all of the -220 ones look good, but I aint paying that kinds juice for a prop bet. Most I go is -150 and it has to look great.

One more thing, a few prop bets that I have profited from the past few years is for example Thomas Jones first rushing attempt under 4.0 yards.

Love going under for all the running backs, it has been profitable:thumbs:

Make sure you guys look closely at lines. For example Peyton Manning total passing yards is 273.5 at -135. If you like that, just take this prop and you will save yourself over 20 yards.

Historical Matchup - Most Passing Yards between Peyton Manning in Super Bowl XLI vs Montana in Super Bowl XVI

(Joe Montana had 157 Passing Yards). All wagers have action. Overtime counts towards wager. No Parlays. Max $300 (No Overlimit wagers)

Peyton Manning

-95½ (-135)

Joe Montana

+95½ (-105)

Not saying I like it but it is amazing how they screw some of these props up.

How long will it take Billy Joel to Sing the National Anthem? (IND vs CHI)

The Clock will start when Billy Joel sings the first note; Wagers have action on Star Spangled only.

Over 1m42s +135

From CNBC:

Many of you know that prop betting really took off 21 years ago when Caesars Palace offered a William "The Refrigerator" Perry touchdown prop for the Super Bowl and he – against the odds – scored. Today, Super Bowl prop bets get better and better every year.

The best prop this year doesn't even involve the game itself. I love: "How Long Will It Take Billy Joel To Sing The National Anthem?" Francis Scott Key would be proud.


Bodog.com has the over/under at 1:44. Before I started to even get into this, I called up the guys at Bodog to make sure I understood the bet right. They told me that it's not when the accompaniment starts. It's when Billy says the word "Oh."

I'm not putting any money on this but this is definitely infinitely more intriguing than Colts as a six and half point favorite.

So I woke up this morning and sang the national anthem a couple times to see how long it would take. My regular version took 1:14. My slow version took 1:22 and my extra slow version took 1:32.

I assume a smart bettor would go through the same drill and think, how is it possibly going to get up to 1:44? Well, a smarter bettor would go to YouTube, which I did. There's only one Billy Joel version of the National Anthem. His rendition from the 2000 World Series all timed out – it's 1 minute and 37 seconds.

So Joel's 2000 World Series version was slower than my slowest version. Then I figured you have to factor in the fact that baseball games are always song a cappella, while the Super Bowl is almost always accompanied by an orchestra – which tends to slow things down.

Then I just decided to go all out. I looked at every Super Bowl national anthem YouTube could offer me. And guess what? Not one singer, at least what's online, has ever done the National Anthem at the Super Bowl under 1:44.

I was only able to watch Cher (1999), Faith Hill (2000), Mariah Carey (2002) and Beyonce (2004), but here is what my research revealed.

Cher sang it the fastest. Without any long pauses, she moved through it rather quickly and did it in 1:45. Mariah Carey could have done it under 1:44 potentially, but she had the Boston Pops slowing her down. I clocked her at 1:55. Faith Hill put on some major time by adding "yeah" after "land of the free," finishing up at 2:00, while Beyonce put on an extra five seconds by saying the words "the brave" twice to end the anthem at 2:09.

There's obviously one major fault here in that the only data we have is of women. But we're thinking that odds are pretty good that Joel goes over 1:44. For some reason, we couldn't find any details on who might be backing Joel up. That could play a part.

1:29....i think you had to factor in the fact it is raining and he probably just wanted to get the heck out of the rain
