Great Gambles for Ravens/49ers Super Bowl



The Super Bowl hasn’t been just about football in quite some time. When it comes to Las Vegas odds, the pop culture moments surrounding the big game garner just as much attention as the game itself.

R.J. Bell of pregame.com has provided some of the most fringe Las Vegas odds for the buzzy non-football happenings taking place at Super Bowl XLVII.

Amongst the most popular: How long it will take Alicia Keys to sing the National Anthem? The Grammy award-winning singer has said that she’ll present her own version of the song. “Hopefully I can do it in my style and my way,” she told The Daily Beast recently at the Sundance Film Festival. “That’s what I want to achieve: to do a very special version of it that only I could do.”

And how long might that version be? The odds are whether or not it will run over or under 2 minutes and 5 seconds in length?

Some of the other top odds? Chances on whether or not Keys will be booed… Chances that Keys will forget at least one word of the National Anthem (as Christina Aguilera did in 2011)… Whether or not Beyonce’s hair will be straight or curly … and whether or not Beyonce will wear her hair up or down.

Check out all of the pop culture bets you can make, on pregame.com:

How long will it take Alicia Keys to sing National Anthem? o/u 2 minutes and 05 seconds [heavy under action has moved number down 10 seconds]

36% chance Beyonce’s hair will be straight, not curly ($100 wins $150)
[heavy "curly" action has moved chances down from 43%]

85% chance Beyonce's will wear her hair "down" not "up" ($700 wins $100)
Will Alicia Keys be booed? If yes, $100 wins $500

29% chance Alicia Keys will forget or omit at least one work in lyrics ($100 wins $200)

47% chance Jay Z will join Beyonce on stage during halftime show ($105 wins $100)

$100 pays $500 if any player on either team is arrested before the game.

The website Bovada.com also has a few additional crazy things you might want to place your bets on:

Yes +200 (2/1)
No -300 (1/3)

Red 13/2
Pink 15/2
Orange 12/1
