Online sports gaming is officially on life-support, with Americans no longer able to deposit money in Bodog or any other online site that I know of (anyone?). Right before the Super Bowl, perfect. While I despair over these dark times, I still think that Bodog’s Super Bowl props can be used to play an inventive form of gambling that makes the game more exciting. While many office pools buy squares that predict the final score of the game, I think the best way to spice up Sunday is to select a number of over/unders (Reggie Wayne receptions, Cedric Benson rushing yards, etc.), or other even side bets that can be found online (coin toss, first team to use coach’s challenge) and place wagers on each side of each bet, either by drawing out of a hat or having a draft. A certain monetary value (say $10) can be assigned to each bet, or there can just be a grand prize for the person who wins the most wagers. Something to consider during what may very well be a lopsided Super Bowl.
If you do have money left in your online account, I highly recommend teasing the Colts (-7) with the under (48.5). In fact, the over/under seems quite high to me. I’m going to go ahead and bet on that straight up as well.
