Proposition bets are some of the most exciting and interesting wagers available for sports gamblers. Many people consider proposition bets to be the “fun” bets that novice gamblers can make on big events as a way to keep interest in events other than the final score. However, serious bettors also know that there can be potential value in prop bets throughout the year and finding proposition bets is becoming easier and easier, as more sportsbooks are offering them on a frequent basis. Most nationally televised games now will feature some assortment of proposition betting opportunities.

Instead of focusing on the final score of a game, proposition bets are generally concerned with actions that take place during the game. Some of these prop bets involve events that have a lot to do with how the game will turn out, such as which NFL team will rush for more yards to commit the first turnover. Other prop bets are entirely based on luck, such as which team will win the coin toss or how long it will take a particular singer to sing the National Anthem. Proposition bets involving the Super Bowl halftime show have also become exceedingly popular.

Prop bets are often seen at major events such as the Super Bowl. These bets can even be tied to multiple games in different sports. One example is if a Super Bowl team will score more points than a star basketball player in an NBA game happening on the same day. Proposition bets and payouts can vary from sportsbook to sportsbook, so it pays to shop for the best odds before placing your bet.
