#5 Super Bowl LVI prop bets on the Pepsi Halftime show
The Super Bowl LVI Halftime show was headlined by Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, Mary J Blige, and Kendrick Lamar, who all brought something different to the table. While the ten-minute concert was an entertaining and relaxing escape after 30 minutes of heart-pounding football between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Rams, that doesn't mean the gamblers took a break during the intermission. On the contrary, there was a lot of action to be had when it came to the highly coveted halftime show.
One of the prop bets for the halftime show was what color shoes Snoop Dog would be wearing during his performance, which turned out to be white. A $100 bet on white would have netted you a gain of $500. Another halftime prop bet was whether Snoop Dogg would light up or not during his portion of the show, but that didn't happen.
Finally, there was action on whether there would be a wardrobe malfunction during the Super Bowl halftime show or not, but that didn't end up happening either. If it has happened, one site was offering +950 odds for gamblers, meaning $100 would net you about 950 in profits. Crazy how even the halftime show gets wagered on isn't it? Almost like you could do this with anything.

#4 Miscellaneous Super Bowl LVI prop bets
While some gamblers were content to just bet on the halftime show, others looked toward random ways to makethe Super Bowl LVI matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Rams more interesting. One way of doing this was to create prop bets that had just enough to do with the big game to justify putting money on it.
A perfect example of this was the bet of whether Bitcoin would go up or down during the Super Bowl. What does Bitcoin have to do with anything you might be asking? The truth is that several cryptocurrencies took out ad space for this year’s edition of the big game. Unfortunately for those hoping that Bitcoin would go up, they were sadly mistaken after the digital currency took a slight dip during the game.
Then there was the action on the opening coin toss, which came up as heads and allowed the Bengals to defer the ball to the LA Rams. The odds were only 105, making this a low-risk bet for someone looking to have some fun. There was a 50/50 chance of being right on this one, meaning it was attractive for even someone that knew nothing about Football.
And then there were the prop bets on the commercials, featuring one that asked gamblers to decide an over/under on how many puppies would be used in ads. The over/under was 6.5, with -110 odds on over and -120 on under. In the end, three ads featured dogs by the end of the game, giving the under a clear victory. Can you believe the things people are willing to bet on?

#3 How many times will Roger Goodell be shown during Super Bowl LVI
It’s no secret that Roger Goodell isn’t the most popular man in the NFL and that is probably one of the reasons why that fans were so willing to take bets on how many times we would see him throughout the Super Bowl LVI broadcast between the Cincinnati Bengals versus the Los Angeles Rams When all was said and done though, Goddell only was given airtime twice during the entire game. Once while he was looking at the game and once during the presentation of the Lombardi Trophy.
The over-under for the bet was 1.5, meaning that those who chose the over option walked away with $125 dollars after the Super Bowl. Isn’t it great that even though virtually everyone hates the commissioner, fans were still able to make some money off of him? And if you didn’t, you probably have a reason to hate him even more now!

#2 Some gamblers take a rare bet on Los Angeles Rams for Super Bowl LVI
Expecting the unexpecting is a common rule when it comes to gambling, which is why a few wagers were placed on Los Angeles Rams defensive player Aaron Donald winning the Super Bowl LVI MVP trophy. What makes this unexpected is the fact that a defensive player hasn’t won the honors since 1986, when Lawrence Taylor won the award. There was also money on Rams player Jalen Ramsey to win the honor.
With that being said, MVP honors eventually went to Cooper Kupp, who finished the Super Bowl with 8 receptions for 92 yards, an average of 11.5 yards per play, and one touchdown to secure the win for the Rams. One gambler put 7500 dollars on Darnold to win MVP honors, which would have given the gambler 120,000 dollars, but Kupp had other plans apparently.

#1 Debunked Simpsons prediction may have led to big bets on The Cincinnati Bengals during Super Bowl LVI
What do the Simpsons have to do with Super Bow LVIl? While America's favorite animated family has had some memorable episodes after The big game, no one could have expected them to affect the big game like they did this year. In fact, a meme making its way around social media seemed to show the Simpsons predicting the winner of the Super Bowl to be the Cincinnati Bengals by a score of 34-31.
More on that later, but it is first important to address the fact that the meme was heavily edited and the pictures were taken from various Simpsons episodes. The fact check didn’t reach everybody in time though and experts are claiming that some gamblers used this prediction to place their bets. If true, that’s a lot of people betting on misinformation and taking it as fact.
The Los Angeles Rams came in as four-point favorites over the Cincinnati Bengals and come out victorious with a score of 23-20. That means the Bengals fans got burned twice tonight. Once when their defense gave up two penalties in the closing minutes of the game, and the second time when they realized that their sure thing didn’t come true.
