Super Bowl 2022 – Novelty odds: Coin toss, Half-time show and Colour of Gatorade shower
THERE are hundreds of different things to bet on for the Super Bowl but it’s novelty bets which catch the punters’ eye.
With everything from the pre-game ceremony, the colour of Gatorade as well as who will take centre stage in the half-time show.
Coin Toss
It’s rather important, and there’s so many variations of 10/11 shots on offer.
Heads? Tails? Rams to win it? Bengals to win it? It’s all covered.
As is which side the Rams will call, as being the official ‘Away’ team (despite the event happening on their own turf).
As for what the winner will do, that is a lot more cut and dry. It’s 1/5 that the winner chooses to defer, which means that that side would receive the ball to start the second half.
However, if you think the winning team will want to start on the front foot, then it’s 10/3 that they choose to receive the ball at the start of the game.

Half-Time Show
This year’s performance will be shared between several legends of Hip-Hop.
Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar & Mary J. Blige are all scheduled to split the duties and betting has been rife as to which song will kick off the extravaganza.
The current favourite is The Next Episode (9/4), arguably the most famous song featuring both Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg.
Next up is California Love (3/1), a staple of the late 2Pac, which also features Dre.
The most likely Eminem song on the list is Lose Yourself (10/1), while for Lamar it is All The Stars (16/1) and for Mary J. Blige it is Family Affair (9/1).
Colour of Gatorade Shower
For those of you unfamiliar with this bizarre tradition, look out for near the end of the game (or after the game if there is a last second-winning play) – You’ll see the winning team’s Head Coach be subjected to several gallons of Gatorade drink poured over him.
It started in the mid-1980s when the New York Giants won in Super Bowl XXI and has been a tradition ever since.
The most common colour is orange (15/8 favourite with Sky Bet but as big as 11/4 with Betfair) but you can bet on yellow (7/2) or red (13/2) or even purple (10/1).
But with the Rams playing in white and blue, and the Bengals primarily being Orange, could we see a favourite sweep up here?
