Feb 12 2024 - About those 26 bets

 

That's right - there were 26 "prop bets" that "sportsbooks" offered on Taylor Swift.  Try to find the results of the bets.  All I can find are the bets on the game itself.  I've never researched this before and I wonder if the results are reported anywhere.  A few things are in highlights - how many times and minutes she's on camera, and of course, whether there was a marriage proposal.  But our "betting sheet" - I have yet to find the results reported anywhere.  I might be at a disadvantage as I have never been on betting sites before and they are congested and full of ads over top of the articles.    So I think I can say that the news media "dropped the ball" on this one. Ha! On the other hand, there are some celebrity highlights that abound on the internet: Paul McCartney joins Taylor Switft's suite Shaquille O'Neal meets Taylor Del Rey joins Taylor suit in the suite Ryan Gosling is featured in a commercial crying to Swift's song "All Too Well" in a promotion for his new movie And the pictures with Taylor Swift in them are pretty clear - she's wearing bright red lipstick - you can find the red lip formula on various sites.  It seems very complicated to me.

Feb 11 2024 - Prop Betting at the Super Bowl

 

Is is the Super Bowl or the Super Bowl.  How did Bowl get in the name? There's an answer for this: It was Lamar Hunt, the main founder of the American Football League and owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, who came up on the term “Super Bowl.” As his son, Lamar Hunt Jr., explained, the idea came from his “Super Ball” toy. My dad was in an owner's meeting.They were trying to figure out what to call the last game, the championship game."  Forget all that - it is history.  Today's big bets are on what colour lipstick will Taylor Swift will wear, which Jersey will she choose, whether she'll swear, will she show the heart hands to her fans. And so on. There are a lot of items to bet on.  I consider the best and silliest one is whether Travis Kelce will propose to her post-Super Bowl.   So here are the most popular published ones below. Doesn't it make you wonder how much money will fly about -  it is expected to be $23.1 billion in bets.  In 2013, you could buy El Salvador's economy or Iceland's economy.  Today you can get Warren Buffet-lef Berkshire Hathaway's Portfolio.  You can pay out the $23 billion Firtst Nations Child welfare settlement.  And then there's an article on what Alibaba could buy with its $20 Billion IPO.  The article is HERE.  Things like 80,000 tickets to Space or four Apple headquarters.
