PointsBet and NBC Sports have posted their Super Bowl LVI odds and prop bets and online sportsbook Bovada.lv has an even longer list of outrageous, novel and exotic prop bets available as well. Below is more information on prop bets and the entire list of things you can bet on for the 2022 Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles:
What is a prop bet?
This is for the beginners of betting out there. If you're an experienced gambler you can skip ahead to the full list of Super Bowl LVI prop pets below. If you're not, read ahead.
A prop bet is short for a "proposition bet." It essentially is a wager that is not directly tied to the outcome. In sports betting, a prop bet can be anything that isn't a wager placed on the point spread, total, or moneyline. Examples of a prop bet are the result of the opening coin toss, which team will score the first touchdown, wagers placed on individual player's stats and so much more.
Prop bets extend into the realm of everything during the Super Bowl, including the national anthem, the halftime show, and the commercials that air during the game. Prop bets provide a fun incentive to the early and less dramatic parts of the game, keeping people engaged throughout. Prop bets are often easier to beat than traditional bets based on spreads or total points.
