Super Bowl Week and Time to Lose Some Money

Thanks to the compulsive gamblers around the world there is more than one way to lose your life savings other than picking a winner (Pittsburgh -6.5), I bring you to the world of prop bets. Any element of the game itself or broadcast has been brought into the betting pool and be damn sure theres odds on it. Some of my favorites for this year:

How many food references will John Madden make during the game?
Over/Under: 1½

How long will it take Jennifer Hudson to sing the National Anthem?
Over/under: 1:54

Who will the MVP of the Game thank first?
God: 1/1
Teammates: 2/1
Family: 4/1
Coach: 7/1
Doesn’t thank anyone: 3/1

What color will the Gatorade be that is dumped on the head coach of the winning team?
Clear/water: 4/5
Red: 5/2
Yellow: 3/1
Blue: 7/1
Orange: 7/1
Lime Green: 10/1

Which team’s cheerleaders will be shown more often on camera?*
Steelers: -175
Cardinals: +135

*best one considering the Steelers

Oh, and root for Pitt (straight up) 'cause daddy is going to buy a new LCD HDTV with the winnings!

If you win keep this in mind:

Go with the best..Samsung 650 or 750 model. I have done the research and pop has one! awesome

You want no less than 120 HZ refresh time. Don't blow money on the 60 HZ.

Do not..DO not skimp on the HDMI cord. Buy the Monster at $115-$140 depending on the length. Anything else and you are basicaly shooting you picture to hell. Plus Monster ensures anything plugged in with it up to a couple $100,000.

Get a Monster power strip $50-$80 because it will increase your protection in this stormy city we live in and also cleanse the signal up as it goes to tv.

HD channels will look amazing. Some of the regular channels that arent yet up to at least digital will look a little goofy at first. Get an HD channel package either from cable company or dish.

Just don't skimp on anything and you will love it!
