How To Wager On Super Bowl National Anthem Prop Bets

Prop bets involve typically involve two or more outcomes on a given event that can be wagered on. Each outcome will have negative or positive moneyline odds posted next to them. These odds let the bettor know which outcome is favored and how much can be won by betting on it to happen.

Here is an example SB National Anthem prop to illustrate how the odds work.

Will The National Anthem Singer Flub A Lyric? 

  • Yes +350
  • No -280

The +350 moneyline on an outcome of "yes" has a low probability of occurring, and thus, a wager of $1.00 will win $4.50, securing $3.50 in profit.

Betting on "no" is the most likely outcome and will require a wager of $2.80 just to net a dollar in profit.

Super Bowl National Anthem Betting Controversies

During Super Bowl 45, Christina Aguilera flubbed the fourth line, singing, "What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last gleaming," instead of "O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming.” This event was likely what prompted the origination of prop betting lines that ask if the performers will flub a lyric, as they now appear at legal Super Bowl betting sites each February.

Super Bowl 53’s rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner stirred debate when Gladys Knight added several mentions of the word “brave” at the end of the song. Sportsbooks decided the song was officially over after the first mention of the word, setting the precedent for the official conclusion of the Anthem when it comes to Super Bowl prop betting.

Garth Brooks refused to come out to sing the Star-Spangled Banner prior to Super Bowl 28, but later agreed to perform. Since that time, all performers have been required to pre-tape their rendition of the National Anthem to offset the risk of any incidents prior to the game.

Many performers have opted to use their pre-recorded tracks and lip sync the National Anthem instead of singing it live on Super Bowl Sunday. Whitney Houston’s performance in Super Bowl 25, widely considered to be the greatest ever performed, was actually lip-synced.
