Pre-Game Action
Even before kick-off there's tons of action. Here, a few ways to get your guests placing a few bets.
- Start taking bets as soon as the broadcast begins! Ask guests how many times they think the announcers will say, "Welcome Back to Super Bowl IXIII" after commercial breaks.
- The coin toss! Make this a group bet, by splitting your guests into teams.
Crazy for Commercials
The Super Bowl broadcast is famous for its entertaining commercials. Here three ideas:
- Before kick-off, bet on what the first commercial will be advertising.
- Later, guess how many commercials for websites pop up before halftime.
- Keep tally of how many commercials have a celebrity in it. The person with the closest guess wins.
Half-Time Fun
It's time for the big show--and big bets! Try these:
- Bet on whether there will be another "wardrobe malfunction".
- Ask guests how many "surprise" musicians/singers will pop-up in addition to the scheduled performers.
- Fireworks or no fireworks?
