Weird Super Bowl Prop Bets 2016: List of 15 Funny Wagers For Big Game, From California Earthquake To Left Shark
In what's become a tradition in its own right, gamblers have a wide range of peculiar prop bets to choose from tied to the events of Super Bowl 50 on Sunday. This year they can wager on everything from whether Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning will cry during the broadcast, to whether there will be an earthquake during the big game, to be played at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
These odd prop bets have become a regular sidebar story to the big game since the mid-'80s. Last year, for instance, you could gamble on whether Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch would grab his crotch (he didn't) and what color hoodie New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick would wear (blue).
This year's contest will feature the Broncos and the Carolina Panthers. Manning and Panthers quarterback Cam Newtown feature in many of the prop bets, but there are some other fun options as well. Listed below are 15 weird wagers to bet and the odds, according to the sportsbook Bovada about five days away from the big game. For updated odds, check in here.
