Sports wagering can be a cruel form of entertainment or an entertaining form of cruelty, depending on how you look at it.
I’m not sure if prop bets make that sentiment worse or better, but I do know they are woven into the fabric of the Super Bowl. Oddsmakers offer odds on everything from the coin flip to the halftime show to various in-game firsts and totals.
Wagering actual money on any of these things is probably not smart, but just for fun I gathered up a hypothetical $1,000 (easier and safer than the real thing) and found nine bets I would make if I was so inclined.
