Nearly $4.5 billion will be (legally) bet on the event, and multiple sportsbooks cumulatively offer nearly 1,000 exotic wagers - from the oddly specific to the utterly absurd. Props are nothing new, and there are hundreds of remarkably specific bets covering nearly every possible in-game development, along with plenty of cross-sports options.
Thanks to the increasingly endless stream of “prop bets' - bets related to specific occurrences connected to the game ranging from who will score the first touchdown to what the coaches will wear - you don’t need to be a football expert (or even fan) to financially invest in the festivities. So maybe you don’t care how many touchdowns Tom Brady throws, who wins the game MVP, or how many points the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles will combine to score at Super Bowl LII this Sunday.
