the annual RX exclusive .... trytrytry National Anthem over under prop
'Frozen' star Idina Menzel to get the song.



well the books dont need me anymore to encourage them to set this line and give them a number. I did invent this prop bet my one claim to fame...Its fun but I think it has jumped the Shark now with so much attention.. One reason it has jumped the shark is it is now and probably forever unless they do a large choral group the song is PRERECORDED, its not live with personal flair on the spot!. the days of 2 min 27 seconds are long over..

some books have set and you can just look it up...



My line will be posted in this Thread in a few minutes again this year we will figure out the winner based on lines and line moves we see,,





Juice free for our party but feel free to collect your
-105 or -110

In the early days Sportsbooks world wide have actually taken my line and adjusted this and posted it as a prop wager!


I set the line and almost everyone plays it. Its fun and gets thing going. I do much research on this have extensive past records and try to set a solid line.

Warning, people tend to play the under, they can not imagine a song taking this long so you will get under action.

What also will happen is after you give the line a few people will leave the room, go "get a smoke", grab something from the car, most often "go to the bathroom". What they are really doing is singing the anthem in their heads watching a clock. They usually sing it this way in 1 min 25 seconds or so even if they think they are going slowly. so real singers do not race through this song.
So for your party you can usually hedge down a few seconds from my line ..


Anyway here it is, you will find it here only at the Rx.



(the stopwatch starts when the singer starts her first note, not background music. The stopwatch stops with the singer ends the final note of brave, multiple braves are ok but not not music, fireworks, airplanes, etc.). Good Luck guys and gals.

Careful.

I didn't bet it when she sang at The MLB All-Star Game but in another thread it was said that she came in at 1:58.

Here is the performance, looked to me like 2:01ish but its a bit hard to tell at the start, exactly when she gets her first note out.

Woops sorry I thought this was a thread where people shared thoughts about betting the anthem, like, an Anthem Handicapping Thread.

I hope that having video of the chick singing the anthem doesn't mess things up. It can't be good I guess lol. So....see if a Mod can delete it.

sorry again.

You ever hear "you see what you expect to see"?

This might be the best illustration of that:

My first post above was when I thought this was Anthem Handicapping Thread.

Somehow I figured out it was actually an In-Forum contest thread.

partly pockets fault cuz he posted "over" which I took to be a contest selection lol.

Thus did I make the 2nd post requesting the video be removed...that, at top of contest would be "weird" at best.

Unfortunately I have concluded the line is too tight! To really have confidence in making any input.

She is about 1:58ish in that vid at this past MLB All-Star Game. Only other vid I could find was way back 2007

where she is a lot faster (1:35, 1:36ish) the quality is bad of the vid below. Thats 7 years ago too.

So her Anthem has slowed considerably. It will need to slow by another 6+ seconds to go over 2:04 from her July 2014 All-Star game performance.

Which is above, in this thread. Here is Dec 29 2007:

Prop bets are a Super Bowl staple, and yet one interesting one was being taken off the board in some Las Vegas sportsbooks.
According to Vegas insider R.J. Bell, the length of the national anthem — yes, you can bet on that! You can bet on almost anything! — is suspected of some chicanery.
[Related: Aaron Hernandez not allowed to watch Super Bowl XLIX in jail]
Yes, that's right — someone might have gotten to Idina Menzel, stage star of "Frozen" fame, on the length of her rendition. Or perhaps someone in her camp heard her rehearsing the version, timed it and sent word to bettors on their findings. Who knows?
Menzel, in her pre-Super Bowl press conference was asked about the timing of her version of the national anthem. Here was her answer: "I haven't recorded it or anything. But you let me know what you want, and I'll let it go on a little longer. I'll watch the stopclock or something."
She was kidding. WE THINK.
Early reports suggest that her version lasted 2 minutes and — wait for it — 4 seconds, barely going over.
Length of National Anthem: 2:04 by my clock (OVER bettors would cash - o/u 2:02)

Something, we think, is rotten in Denmark, or Glendale, Ariz.
Expect independent investigator Ted Wells, once he wraps up whatever he's working on now, to be called in for this case.
