What Are Prop Bets?
Short for "Proposition Bets," these are wagers on things that don't affect the final score. Instead of betting on who wins, you bet on things like:
- ๐คWill the National Anthem be over 2 minutes?
- ๐ชHeads or Tails on the coin toss?
- ๐What color Gatorade will be dumped on the coach?
- ๐ขWill a player cry during the anthem?
