super bowl sunday rolls around. i was legit excited for the super bowl national anthem, such a good sweat. scottmizuno.com did his research and booked 3 bets.
under 94 seconds at +130
no unplanned delays/omitted words at -800 (bet 80 to win $10)
kelly clarkson doesn't wear a jersey/shirt with numbers on it -300 (bet 30 to win $10)

it was awesome, 94ish seconds of pure sweat, we're talking pure sweat. betting on a basketball could be a good sweat, but nothing like the super bowl national anthem.
here we go.
boom, no jersey, winner, easy money. only -300? ugh, too easy



she starts singing, and all i can think to myself is "don't you fuck up, relax, but hurry". then around the 48second mark, they show about 50 kids singing along with kelly. and the drummers! what the fuck, if i had known she would be singing with 50 kids, i would definitely not have bet the "no unplanned delays/omitted words". NOW, not only are we hoping that kelly doesn't fuck up, i gotta worry about 50 other little fuckers getting nervous and forgetting words/passing out. think about it, pause at the 50 second mark, if i'm the kid in the back, and the fat kid passes out, i'm going to stop singing and say "whoa who whoa, guys, billy fell down, stop guys, STOP!". right? booom, UNPLANNED DELAY FTL.

-800 is not a good price if there are 50+ people singing. but another thing, if i'm one of those kids, i'm timing every damn practice rehearsal with my phone. that information is worth mirrions. if i'm that kid, i'm timing each rehearsal and telling fat billy to do the same, we compile the numbers, and can therefore pass along the information to anyone willing to pay for it. once i know where the value is (under or over 94 seconds), i'm texting scott "clear the bank accounts, bet the over 94 seconds in as much size as you can pull off". if my son was one of those singers, i'm 100% asking him if i should bet the over or under. if i find out that my friend's 2nd cousin's nephew is singing the super bowl national anthem, i'm insta-adding him on facebook to try and get some inside information. creepy i know

but wait, what if one of those kids was approached by a shady sports gambler and says something like "hi, not gonna bull shit you, if you cause an "unplanned delay" during the national anthem, i will give you $100,000 in cash, and no one will ever know about this conversation. think about it, just act nervous before you start,tell your fat friend billy that you feel sick, and to cause a scene if you pass out. then once you start, just pass out, no one will ever blame you, and you'll be a youtube semi-star. that way, when you're doing ice breakers in college, you can say "something unique about me? go on youtube, search "asian kid causes unplanned delay at super bowl xxxvi", yup, that's me." ----i'm thinking long and hard if i was approached with this life changing proposition

so much opportunity. oh, so we lost the over/under bet, and finished the national anthem prop bets exactly even. interesting side note, scottmizuno.com did more research and bet the gatorade dump "color or drink over winner" to be "clear/water" at +115. once the game was over, we thought it was purple, it looked very light purple. as of this morning, the bet was still pending. but just checked, and we won that bet. mini boom
