The 11 strangest things you can actually bet on for the Super Bowl

Prop 1: Lady Gaga and the national anthem

The over/under on the national anthem has become a staple of Super Bowl prop betting in recent years. After so many jokes had been made about singers milking those final notes on the tail end of "BRAAAAAAAAAAAVE," online betting outlets decided to give gamblers to chance to put their money where their mouth is. For what it's worth, I timed this rendition of Gaga's national anthem in accordance with the bet as listed above, and it clocked in at 2:14, but she wasn't playing with a piano, which I think might push her over the number on Sunday.

A quick note on how to read odds: Above you see the Over listed as +110 and the Under at -150. Those numbers correspond to the odds you are receiving on your bet. When a number is listed with a plus sign in front of it, that number is the amount of money you win if your initial bet is $100. So in the case of Gaga and the national anthem, if you place a $100 bet on the over and you win, you will win $110 in addition to getting your initial investment of $100 back. Conversely, when a number is listed with a minus sign in front of it, that number represents the amount of money you would have to bet in order to win $100. So bettors who take the under in this case would have to bet $150 if they wanted a $100 return on their winning bet.

Prop 2: Gatorade dump

Prop 3: Thanks

Prop 4: Buffalo Wild Wings

This year, Americans are predicted to consume over 1.3 billion buffalo wings on Super Bowl Sunday. Last year, BWW was responsible for over 11 million wings sold. Is a million wing bump too much to ask? Your call. But knowing that I will most likely consume close to 100 B-Dubs products on my own this Sunday, I'm taking the over.

Prop 5: Manning/Duncan retire as champions parlay

Prop 6: Will Peyton cry?

I don't think Peyton cries, he wouldn't want to go out like that. But the highlight of this bet is in the detail listed: "Live pictures only, must clearly see a tear." It would be fun to bet if only to sit on the edge of your couch as you slowly see the moisture forming in Manning's eye, only to have him wipe it away before it can fall and be "clearly" seen. If anything questionable happens, it's important to remember that the "book manager's decision is final."

Pretty amazing that you can literally bet on the future emotions of a human being.

Prop 7: Mike Carey

With that said, SB Nation recently reported that Mike Carey is correct in 90% of his calls, so if you want to bet money just to troll your least favorite television referee, proceed with caution.

Prop 8: Dabs

This is another favorite of mine thanks to an obsession I have with sports broadcast teams. If the Super Bowl was being called by ESPN's team of Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden, I would absolutely slam the over. Gruden has a tendency to repeat words he likes, and I can imagine him covering this in the first quarter, "Look at Cam doing his dab! That is the dab of a champion and I bet he gets to dab a few more times before the night is over."

But alas, it will be Nantz and Simms calling Super Bowl 50, both of whom tend to stay pretty safe when it comes to their commentary on player actions. I don't see the dab count getting to three.

Prop 9: Bey's footwear

The specific phrasing of "predominant color" makes me laugh here, as it could easily come down to an argument of "Are those black shoes with gold accents? Or gold shoes with black accents?" If you Google image search "beyonce shoes," the results make it seem that black is deservedly the favorite here, but I have never doubted Bey's power to shock a crowd. Proceed with caution.

Prop 10: Earthquake

This is just messed up. The Super Bowl is in San Francisco, where a magnitude 6.9 earthquake interrupted the 1989 World Series between the Oakland Athletics and the San Francisco Giants. Also, the rules here state that the earthquake has to happen during the live broadcast, meaning the implied odds here are that San Francisco has an earthquake around once every 60 hours, which I'm pretty sure is way off. Unless you have inside information from your seismologist friend, I would stay away.

Prop 11: Left Shark

And the grand finale. We've all been thinking it. "WILL LEFT SHARK RETURN?!"

This is really a bet on whether or not you believe CBS to be cynical enough to attempt to cash in on #memeculture to bring back last year's viral sensation to try and recapture the magic. Personally, I don't see where a Left Shark appearance fits into a halftime performance between Coldplay and Beyonce. It's much more likely to me that Left Shark shows up in a Super Bowl commercial, but sadly, I haven't been able to find odds on that.

Which brings me to the only prop bet that I was legitimately shocked I could not find up anywhere online: Will Donald Trump run a campaign ad during the Super Bowl? If anyone wants to offer me +2000 on a $10 bet, find me on Twitter and we can work out the details.

Until then, gamble smart and enjoy the Super Bowl.
