KingPK Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) Because simply betting on the outcome isn't enough for some people, I looked up some proposition bets on Bodog.com and decided to have a little contest. Winner gets bragging rights. Unfortunately, they don't have the "Which will be higher: Bernard Berrian's receiving yards or Tiger Woods' final round score that Sunday" proposition I saw in the paper today. I swear, people would bet on the gametime temperature if it was available. Anyway, here you go. I'll limit it to the 11 most interesting ones: 1) How long will it take Billy Joel to Sing the National Anthem? (Clock starts with first note sung) Over 1m44s Under 1m44s (1m31s) 2) What will Prince's first song of the Halftime show be? (Odds in parenthesis) Let's Go Crazy (1/3) Song of the Heart (3/1) Purple Rain (4/1) When Doves Cry (6/1) 1999 (5/1) Little Red Corvette (4/1) Kiss (6/1) Other (7/2) 3) Team to score first in the game Colts or Bears 4) Team to score last in the game Colts or Bears 5a) Team to use their Coaches Challenge first in the game Colts or Bears 5b) Result of that challenge Play overturned Play stands 6)Team to commit the Most Turnovers in the game Colts (3) or Bears (5) 7) In which half will there be more points scored? 1st Half (30) 2nd Half + OT (16) 8) Will there be a lead change in the Second Half? Yes No 9a)Total Number of Indianapolis Players to catch a pass in the game (EXCLUDES defensive players who catch INTs) Over 7 Under 7 7 = PUSH 9b) Total Number of Chicago Players to catch a pass in the game (EXCLUDES defensive players who catch INTs) Over 6 1/2 Under 6 1/2 (6) 10a) Total number of Indianapolis defensive players to Intercept a pass Over 2 1/2 Under 2 1/2 (2) 10b) Total number of Chicago defensive players to Intercept a pass Over 2 Under 2 (1) 11) Total points scored by both teams 0-7 8-14 15-21 22-28 29-35 36-42 43-49 (46) 50-56 57-63 64-70 71-77 78 or more Good luck.

naiwf Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 Do they include INTs when discussing the number of players to catch passes? 1) How long will it take Billy Joel to Sing the National Anthem? (Clock starts with first note sung) Over 1m44s, that's an easy one 2) What will Prince's first song of the Halftime show be? (Odds in parenthesis) Let's Go Crazy (1/3) nothing else seems to fit 3) Team to score first in the game Colts 4) Team to score last in the game Colts 5a) Team to use their Coaches Challenge first in the game Bears 5b) Result of that challenge Play stands 6)Team to commit the Most Turnovers in the game Bears 7) In which half will there be more points scored? 2nd Half + OT 8) Will there be a lead change in the Second Half?

Guest Princess Leena Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 Iggy, don't bet on all of these.
KingPK Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) Do they include INTs when discussing the number of players to catch passes? They don't specify, but I am going to include players that catch INTs to spice it up. EDIT: Changed my mind as that would probably tilt it more towards the overs. EDIT2: Added separate propositions (10a and 10b) regarding INTs. Edited January 31, 2007 by KingPK

Overtime counts towards wager. No Parlays. Max $700 Indianapolis Colts (Longest Kickoff Return) Team to have the Longest Punt return in the game (IND vs CHI) If I had $700 I would bet on the Bears, Vasher for both.

Mik Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 All you guys picking over on the Anthem would lose money. Billy Joel has sung the anthem previously, the longest he has ever sung it was 1 minute 37 seconds. There is only one Super Bowl national anthem that has surpassed two minutes, and that was sung by Beyonce. Research is critical.
KingPK Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Posted February 5, 2007 Anyone time Billy Joel? Two are in: Bears score first and Let's Go Crazy is the first song.
Hank Kingsley Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 I would've thought starting with Let's Go Crazy and ending with Purple Rain was the only way to go, anyway.
KingPK Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Posted February 5, 2007 Results are in the first post. I'll get the anthem time later.
CanadianChris Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 I timed it. Anthem time was 1:31. I think I did really well on these. It looks like I got ten right and pushed on another.
KingPK Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Posted February 5, 2007 Thank you. Full results are now in.
