Who in their right mind would do a prop bet on Super Bowl

That there would be a safety on the very first play !!

Well it happened and he did !! Degenerate gambler, all for fun I guess

+4000 !! I don't bet sports or play against the house. 100.00 gets you 4000.00

LOL

Was it safety on 1st play or 1st score.....

U.K. bookmaker William Hill Plc said it paid $1,250 on a $25 wager at one of its Las Vegas sports books that a Seattle safety would be the first score of the game.

That's 50 to 1, sounds about right.

Off the local news paper:

The biggest counter-punch bettors threw at bookmakers came on that opening play, as a safety paid out as high as 8-to-1 and 60-to-1 to be the first score. The proposition wagers might have served as the only thing that kept the books from breaking their record $15,430,138 profit set on the 2005 Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles.

“That safety was a torch job,” Bogdanovich said. “It’s not a fun way to start off the day, getting six figures in the hole.”

“We were down $62,000 on the first play of the game,” Vaccaro reported. “We got dinged pretty good on that one, and a few others as the game went on.”

I wanted to lay down $100 to get $10,000 if Seahawks score more than 37.5 points. Missed out on that one!

I wonder if there's a prop bet for timeouts called? There were no timeouts taken by either team in the second half, and I think the only timeouts charged against the teams in the first half were challenges, not actual timeouts.

and how about mayweather jr and his 10 mil which he "apparently" never placed a bet with?

I would have thought that Vegas made a bundle by the first score being a safety, because I'm sure there was a bet where you could pick if the first score would be a field goal, touchdown, or safety...who would pick a safety???
