Every year, the Super Bowl is played and it is one of the heaviest gambled events of the year. However, not everyone bets on who will win or if the teams will combine to get the over. Forget those bets. Have some fun and bet the Prop Bets. In fact, I dare you.
A prop bet, or proposition bet is a bet that is made regarding the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event that will not directly affect the outcome of the game.
