I would assume this: any non-positive reception to the anthem. Yes is a terrible bet here I think.

I agree. They don't even have a line on the NO. As I recall, when whoever it was flubbed it there was no booing. To be honest, I didn't even know she forgot some words until after the game.

Assuming you mean placing separate bets on Jim and John, I am pretty sure you lose both if the first time either is shown is a split screen.

#24 is a lock for either Harbaugh parent over Moss receptions. I'd bet that one big.

We can expect 2-3 Moss receptions. If the Parents is only during the game (kick off to final whistle) I don't think it'll be more than 1. From my experience -during- the game, they don't go to focus on spectators very often (I've followed various similar bets to this in the last couple of 'bowls).

If the game is close, I expect the family box to get a shot every timeout. What if the parents appear in an ad during the game? Does that count?

Normally, it's only in the stadium.

I'd put the number of parental shots at 1.5, and Mosses reception at around 1.5 as well. I may well be wrong, as the fact its the parents of both coaches might make it more often. But I'm thinking of the shots of Brady's wife, or Peyton Manning in the last Superbowl you could take bets on.

The stock market one is very interesting. I bet you could get a really good edge on that one by watching futures before the game starts.

You could if the futures were moving a lot, but anything less than 1% you might not have an edge. It also depends on what data is due in the premarket and earnings.

I don't see any market moving companies with pre-market earnings, SPG and BZR are the only even remotely notable ones.

Just thought I'd post this here. I don't have any money on any of these sites, so I can't take advantage, but it looks like you could bet the moneyline on Bovada for the 49ers at -160 and the moneyline at Pinnacle for +162, so if anyone wants to take advantage the opportunities there. Don't know if it'll last.

If I understand sports betting, that means you could bet 160 for the 49ers at Bovada and 100 at Pinnacle for the Ravens and you'd break even if the 49ers win, and win 2 dollars if the Ravens do.
