Does anyone know how the super bowl ads work? No way that a free game can pay 5 million for an ad. Are there some spots that are much less expensive?

Yes. Local affiliates are given a share of the time to sell.

I actually like her songs but I also like top 40.


The jury is still out on the bolded part.



Maybe your jury is, but I saw her and her mom on a show when she first got famous, and they had a lot of pictures of her performing and just growing up. She was female the whole way. So unless her mom dressed a boy as a girl from infancy, she's a she. Also she is/was engaged to a guy.

Gaga did a weird performance art video a few years ago with full frontal nudity, if anyone is (stupidly) curious about her gender.

When something like this comes up, I'm always reminded of Jame Gumm in Silence of the Lambs. That had to be really uncomfortable. Really.

She was on the roof singing aND they have about 200 drones with different color lights behind her in the sky making designs.



I didn't even realize they were drones.

At first I thought the part on the roof was pre-taped. They could have shown her jump from the roof a little better. Seemed fake the way they cut from the jump to her halfway down already.

Now overtime - who would have guessed over 58.5 (unless there's a safety) after the first part of the match.

I've thought this even before tonight. But given what happened, it might actually change now. Hell, I'm an old school hockey fan. OT isn't necessary in the regular season anyway.

I'm a Patriots fan, and I think it should just be fifteen minutes, reset it to three timeouts per team.

I agree ,I don't like the way it is,though it's better than before when a field goal would win it.

I'd like to announce that DJTB has these bets against me:

Safety: +650
Overtime: +750
scoreless qtr: +525
2-pt conv.: +282.5

The lines are the midpoint between the YES and No from the Wynn.



Okay, DJ, you may begin the gloating, if you haven't already. I forgot to mention the bet amount was $50 each. This was truly a bridge jumpers nightmare.

Here are the results, from your point of view:

Safety: -50
Overtime: +375
scoreless qtr: +262.50
2-pt conv.: +141.25
Total = +727.75

Profit = 364%

In case anyone is wondering how I did overall, I made about 25 bets, many duplicates on the same thing. Despite taking a beating on the bridge jumpers, I still had a net win of about 5%. Hard to believe. What saved me were the Patriots. I had them pretty big. Props I bet comparatively big that won were:

Under 3.5 field goals
First score touchdown
Last score touchdown
Under 1.5 field goals by Atlanta
No safety

At least I didn't bet against a missed extra point, which I usually do. I just didn't find a good enough line.

If I hadn't bet any of the bridge jumpers, I would have had a fantastic game.

Gloat? Nah. I freely admit they were stupid bets. And I really do feel bad that you got beat the way you did.

Frankly, I would have been fine if only one of my bets came in.

I think I went like 8-10 in prop bets

1 was yours WIZARD ARGH

lol but it seemed like a good
bet so that's all i care about

my biggest lay was -330 for
a score in the last 2 min of
the half. i sweated that one.

my straight bets on pats were
big, so i was sweating that too.

i have one unresolved bet i made
on the WH app, i have no idea WTF it
is. they don't tell you what it is after it's
been booked for some stupid reason and
I was doing that and putting in bets at
Westgate at the same time.

Shout out to Diamond Jim, who apparently
called 10 superbowls in a row. Some guy touting
him told me I'm burning my money on the pats
and said the falcons were gonna blow them out.
I usually am impartial to people and their picks
but this guy was an ass so LULZ to you.

1-1-1 on my last 3 Super Bowl prop bets posted on this forum. I'm on fire! Call now for my 5,000 star silver bullet lock of the year of the week.

In reality, I did well on player props and so forth, but got hammered at the end of the game because the kept showing Gizelle, Kraft and Blank. Either won or lost small. Not sure yet.

There were two really good props in my opinion. Tom Brady over 39 competition I thought was amazing-
The second I liked I don't even know if I won or lost
It was over 112 for total touchdown yardage and I. Can't find a definitive answer if an interception return yardage counts- Does anyone know?

I'm not sure what happened after the NE touchdown in OT. Do the cutaway shots of the Brady family box after the TD but before the score was confirmed count as part of the game? They must have cutaway three or four times.
