The craziest prop bet you ever played or saw?

Journeyman · Jul 7, 2003

I`ve seen the Australian books offer wagering on elections ....does anyone seriously bet this stuff?

FunkSoulBrother · Jul 7, 2003

While certainly strange to bet on, elections are often the kind of thing you can get a real edge on, with polling and so on.

I don't think I'd bet one 18 months before it happened, but if they leave the line up until a week before election day, sometimes you know.

Somebody told me they saw a line on the weight of Madonna's last baby.

I once bet serious cash on a ball rash prop.

1990 SB - denver/sf

who will call the 1st timeout of the game?

being a broncos' fan i had seen just about all of "our" games that season. i saw elway numerous times in 1Q pull out from center and call a timeout so i KNEW i was going to win this prop.

with a tad more than 2 minutes left in the 1st 1/2 montana pulls out from center and called the 1st TO of the game - killing me!

Nanuk,I feel one coming on.

Journeyman · Jul 7, 2003

BET365 , has the craziest props I`ve seen...

Other than movie picks, you never hear about this stuff being wagered on...

I was not wagering but saw a prop during one of the Dallas/Buffalo Superbowls

Will Thurman Thomas lose his helmet before the game

linx · Jul 7, 2003

Dante, can you imagine the guy holding that 'yes' ticket

Yes +5000

BeverlyHillsBookie · Jul 7, 2003

Judge, is the bet still pending?

HABSMAN · Jul 7, 2003

Where the fvcks my helmet

[

Dante · Jul 7, 2003

LOL j-man...though I think this prop came out the year after he lost his helmet the first time

Will Patsy Ramsey be charged with murder of her daughter on or before Dec 31 2003

PanchoSanza · Jul 7, 2003

Will Elvis Presley crash land to earth in a flying saucer and break out in song with jailhouse rock. Paid 14 million to 1 at William Hill

Imagine you bet this prop and he showed up playing suspicious minds instead, talk about a bad beat.

Journeyman · Jul 7, 2003

Pancho-

That would be the toughest beat ever.....

max1234 · Jul 7, 2003

Pancho,

LMAO... that would only happen if I had the f*cking ticket!

I didn't bet them, but I saw several lines held by NASA offshoots thet were very strange. They were put up for the calendar year 2000, you'd place the bet in december 1999 and collect in January 2001.

Some of them were (this comes from memory):

Will Ricky Martin and Oscar de la Hoya declare that they are lovers publicly? NO -5000

Who will do a nude pictorial first? the list included many celebrities, such as Sarah Michelle Ghellar and Britney Spears.

Will one of the members of N'Sync come out of the closet?

Will Kid Rock beat Pammela Anderson before Dec. 31st? (this was when they just got together)

They had Latin american props. My favorite one:

Will Vincente Fox (the then newly elected president of Mexico) be assasinated in a terrorist attempt before Dec. 31st?

I never actually saw this one, but I heard some British book had odds on where the next suicide bomber would strike. You'd pick areas of Jerusalem, and if yours got hit you won.

Sick.
