Correct me if im wrong...this is crazy

On bodogs there is line for Billy Joels national anthem at the beginning of the super bowl. Whether or not it will be over 1 minuit and 44 seconds. If I was friends with billy joel and he told how long he was going to sing for...couldnt you theoretically make millions. If for some reason someone gets a hold of how long his national anthem is going to be...it would be great to know ...we could all be rich =)

i like the under. actually i'd rather have him singing piano man at halftime than prince singing purple rain. is there a way we could make that happen? is it too late?

The books have a hedge against that, max bet on props such as that is usually $300 or so.

msh

they have a minimum wager on the bets, which gives them the ability of changing the line and / or the odds to make sure to much money doesnt go on either side.

it also depends on the weather and the altitude. if it is very humid he could have trouble getting a deep breath and he could cut it short. and what if his asthma acts up??? :)

strizzles and others

It was 1:57, however, he didnt start singing until 19 seconds into the video. So, this would put him under by 6 seconds.

Humidity is generally not a huge issue at 6:30 in Miami in the winter, though. The forecast doesn't seem to be negative, either.

seriously?

Betting the over/ under on the anthem? ok maybe I can see that, but actually trying to cap it and taking weather into account? wow. I have learned so much in my time here. this is great stuff.




Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I'd Take The Under

Joel is pissed because he's just doing the anthem, instead of the halftime show. He's gonna sing the song, haul ass to his box, so he can drink and enjoy the game ...

I think this is crazy that you guys are trying to handicapp how long it will take Billy Joel to sing the national anthem.

Good luck with the bets...
