Here is a list of some of my favorite props year after year.
Before getting to that, the usual disclaimer. The fair lines are based on data from 2000 to 2014. The NFL was a lower-scoring sport back then. Also some rule changes have affected things, like moving back the line for the extra point. I would be especially wary of betting on a low number of field goals. Over the years, field goal kickers have become much better, increasing the average number per game from the average of my data.
That said, is my list.
For many more fair lines, see my Prop Bet Calculator.

Quote: rxwineThis thread has a generic title. I want to ask if the vibe of las vegas is any different for the first Super Bowl, than any other big event. I lived there 12 years total. Much of time I couldn't tell you if anything really different was going on even if a big convention was in town. Of course, maybe if I had been down on the Strip every day I might have noticed, but regardless I didn't really notice.

I have been thinking does it make some sort of sense to put it in Vegas regularly, similar to how the Pro Bowl was always in Hawaii?
Think about it. The NFL has made peace with Vegas. 25 years ago Las Vegas was not even allowed to buy an ad for a "Visit Vegas" spot during the game. Today sports betting is seamless in the coverage. The Hotel rooms are not just in the city but tens of thousands within a few miles. Air connectivity is there. The stadium is top of class and having it there yearly would encourage it to remain so.
Downside of course is other cities and stadiums cannot be featured. Other downside is Vegas is remote from the dense populated east half of the USA.

link to original post
Gotta agree. A more interesting prop would be ‘is there an onside kick?’
As far as the props Wiz has listed, the two point conversion prop has changed exponentially since Wiz collected his data. Most teams go for two after a penalty on initial try that had a defensive penalty moving ball to one yard line. Most teams go for two in end of game scenarios to try and get to 6 instead of 7 point deficit. Most teams go for two way earlier to tie game instead of pulling within one point. And sometimes teams just go for two what would appear randomly. And they go for two sometimes after the kicker missed a previous extra point.
Funny, but out of all the bets Mike mentioned, I like the ‘worst’ one! I love under 8.5 punts.

Then go for it! I think 89.5 is a fair number. Both teams may pass a little more than usual (in the misguided) attempt to ‘keep up’ with the other high powered offense. But on the plus side for you, it is the Super Bowl. I think starters will get more carries than average and backups less.
If you made me bet I’d go over with you.

This is a perfect time to test the theory that Vegas odds makers control the NFL. No way the Odds makers WANT to lose money so the 49rs are a shoe in to win right?

I'm thinking of better every single under and no proposition bet on the game. Probably at a William Hill book and the day of the game, to give square bettors more time to bet into the other side. I'm not saying I'll win, but I think my losing margin will be under 1%.

This'll be the first superbowl I've ever bet on, going to a sportsbook in NC tomorrow in fact to do so. I posted my 'possible picks' that I've gleamed from various sources online the past week or so in the other NFL thread. Maybe it's a "first timer" thing, but it really feels like quite a few of these bets are far better than a 50/50 coin flip. I won't know till tomorrow how the book I'm going to allows for betting in terms of $ down and different parlays/legs. Goal is to spend about $500ish on a bunch of bets.
Still not exactly sure which MVP long shot I want to go for, but I'm probably gonna hedge on QB for one pick and WR/back for another.

Sports betting legend Billy Walters is taking the Chiefs -
quote:
"It's not going to be a big bet for me. It's going to be a small bet, somewhere between $500K and a million.
I figure I've got about a 6% advantage."
Walters bet $6 million on the Saints to upset the Colts in a past SB (he won) - he estimated he had a 20% edge in that game.

I did as I planned! This morning I went to the Rampart, which follows South Point lines, and bet on every proposition bet that had "under" or "no" in the description. Each bet was $20. This came to 175 total bets and $3,750 money bet. The writer said this broke his record for number of bets in one transaction by far.
Bets are rounded, I assume down, to the nearest nickel, so I will lose a little in the breakage. It would have taken a long time to size my bets to round evenly.
I plan to write up a full list later. Meanwhile, I am hoping for a slow boring and uneventful game. If the game goes into overtime, I'll probably get killed.

I just got a look at the South Point prop sheet, and I noticed a glaring error that could be an AP if you're willing to put some effort into it.
One of the props is for the "MVP of NFL Championship 58."
One small problem: there were "NFL championship games" long before the Super Bowl, so "NFL Championship 58" was years ago. "Any player not listed" pays 20-1.

Every sports book in Vegas seems to call it the NFL Championship Game or the Big Game. If someone went to Gaming with this complaint after losing the bet, their chances of the loss being overturned would be well under 1%. Gaming would probably say that any reasonable person would know the South Point meant the Super Bowl. I would agree with Gaming.

Next, obviously meaning your next card. Ace would be nice too, but I'm fine with a 10/face.
Give me 19 all day long every hand I'll win a ton, same as if you give me a 7 all day long at Baccarat. The Asians like to say "7 never win" but they start chanting that when the other side has 7.
19 is slightly above the average winning hand.

Doubtful that would get you more than a “Nice try. Next?”Quote: ThatDonGuyI just got a look at the South Point prop sheet, and I noticed a glaring error that could be an AP if you're willing to put some effort into it.
One of the props is for the "MVP of NFL Championship 58."
One small problem: there were "NFL championship games" long before the Super Bowl, so "NFL Championship 58" was years ago. "Any player not listed" pays 20-1.

in terms of entertainment value the game was in the running for the greatest game I've ever seen
turnovers at critical times, a blocked extra point, OT - Mahomes great OT drive that included some very surprising runs
really excellent - imho
I'm so very happy that Billy Walters won his $ half million to $ one million dollar bet____________:)

2nd half was good.
1st half was abysmal.

I haven't done the math yet, but I know with that overtime I got killed.
I lost $837.50 to our own DJTeddyBear on his usual sucker bets. His wins were on overtime, a scoreless quarter and a missed extra point.
I had my own no overtime bet at the Wynn. As I suspected yesterday, OT will cause lots of those prop bets to lose.
That was one of the best Super Bowls ever, to watch, but one of the worst in terms of my betting. At least I didn't bet that much, compared to what I used to throw at the game about ten years go.
Let me go back to licking my wounds.

Shouldn't all your other unders make up for those losses? It feels like it was a big 'under' game where no one really truly shined,even Mahomes didn't put up the numbers he's been putting up this season.Quote: WizardQuote: WizardMeanwhile, I am hoping for a slow boring and uneventful game.

We shall see. So many were on things like total rushing/passing yards. That extra time will just add to those totals.

Thanks again for the action.Quote: WizardI lost $837.50 to our own DJTeddyBear on his usual sucker bets. His wins were on overtime, a scoreless quarter and a missed extra point.

For the record, we had bets on 6 props where I bet $50 on the yeses, plus $10 on a Scorigami.
The props that lost were Safety, Two point conversion and Special teams / defense TD.
Considering how well I did, both this year and historically, I’m wondering who the sucker is on these bets. 🤔
Just be thankful those six props were $50. I was totally on the fence about making them $100 each this year. 🤦♂️

??. He exceeded his yards passing number. I think his two TD passes were exactly the expected number. And his rushing yards FAR exceeded his expected number. If you bet the under on Mahomes you lost on all of your bets.

This year I did not see a single Super Bowl commercial or the halftime show. i watched the whole game with the sound muted while I worked on another project.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

I'm at 142 out of 175 in recording my prop bets.
I was curious how they did the rounding, which is to $0.05. They nicely do it to the nearest $0.05. I expected them to round down.
As an example, one bet had -105 odds. A $20 winning bet should pay $20*(205/105) = $39.047619. They pay $39.05.

If you were guaranteed a 19 every hand, you’d win money.

Shanahan should be fired for his decision to take the ball first in OT.
Considering the magnitude of the game, could be worst coaching decision of all time.

Quote: WizardI'm at 142 out of 175 in recording my prop bets.
I was curious how they did the rounding, which is to $0.05. They nicely do it to the nearest $0.05. I expected them to round down.
As an example, one bet had -105 odds. A $20 winning bet should pay $20*(205/105) = $39.047619. They pay $39.05.

Kudos to Rampart.
The Good Will generated is worth so much more than a quarter cent in breakage.
May the cards fall in your favor.

It’s so funny that’s the gut reaction, but it’s not even clear it’s a mistake. It’s a very close decision what the right move is.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.

There’s no good reason to take the ball first…

Of course there is. Lots of commentary today about it.
Third possession on offense is a big deal.
There are other factors that cut the other way.

I’m not worried about the 3rd possession in overtime. I want to stop Mahomes (giving him only 3 downs per possession), or I want to know exactly what I need. And I don’t want them to know what they need.
It’s just the easiest decision.

It’s nice you aren’t worried about it and that means there’s “no good reason” to receive. Checks out. I’ll ignore the analytics in that case.
