Super Bowl Coin Toss
5Dimes is offering odds already on America’s favorite Super Bowl prop bet. Heads or tails in the coin toss – who you got? It’s this writer’s belief that a person who picks heads over tails in coin flip situations is an imbecile bound to be wrong 50 percent of the time.
Tails (-101) Heads (-101)
National Anthem over/under
Does pop star Pink have the pipes to go over two minutes in her Super Bowl performance of the national anthem? 5Dimes has set the over/under at 120 seconds.
The average time for the last 12 performances is 118.6 seconds with the longest coming in at 155 seconds by Alicia Keys at Super Bowl XLVII and the shortest by Billy Joel at a minute and a half at Super Bowl XLI.
