Prop Joe
Beyond wagering on traditional point spreads, gamblers these days can choose to put money down on hundreds of obscure and sometimes ridiculous events listed on sportsbooks for the Super Bowl.
Here's a look at some of the more unusual proposition bets (wagers on a very specific outcome) that are being taken on the "big game" from popular online gambling site Bovada for the Baltimore Ravens matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in New Orleans, LA on Sunday, February 3rd.
