Super Bowl 50 is here, which means the opportunities to wager on the game will soon be closing. Plenty of people will be on who will win or lose, and offices will have "Super Bowl squares" contests. However, one of the more entertaining forms of Super Bowl wagering comes in the form of prop bets.

The Super Bowl is well known for the numerous prop bets one can wager on. A prop bet takes individual events within or connected to the game and allows you to bet on them. They can be connected to the on-field action, meaning you can bet on things like total passing yards for Cam Newton or Peyton Manning, total receiving yards for Demaryius Thomas or Ted Ginn Jr., or total rushing yards for C.J. Anderson or Jonathan Stewart. However, for the Super Bowl, prop bets will also be incredibly random. You can bet on things like how long the national anthem will last, how many times "dab" or "dabbing" will be said by announcers or even whether the coin toss will come up heads or tails.
The first official prop bet was whether Chicago Bears defensive lineman William "Refrigerator" Perry would score a touchdown in Super Bowl XX. The on-field prop bets don't change much from year-to-year, aside from the occasional player addition. However, the "off-field" entertainment prop bets can get particularly crazy. This year, Peyton Manning's potential retirement is prominent. Additionally, a year removed from Left Shark's notable performance in Katy Perry's halftime show, you can bet on whether he will make a guest appearance during the Super Bowl 50 halftime show.
Here is a full rundown of Bovada.lv's Super Bowl 50 prop bets.
