Here’s a quick guide to some of the wackiest bets you can make.
🏈 Let’s start with the most standard wagers. As of 6 a.m. Friday, if you just want to bet on the Rams to win the game, you would have to put up $19 to win $10. If the underdog Bengals win, a $10 bet would score you $16.
🏈 The current point spread is Rams -4, which means that a $10 wager on the Rams to win by more than four would win $9. Same with a $10 bet on the Bengals to lose by less than four. If the Rams win by exactly four, you would get your money back. You can also wager on the under/over of the total points scored, which is currently 48.5.
🏈 If you are dying to bet before the game even begins, you can pick the winner of the coin toss or the winning side of the coin (tails never fails). Those are both even-money bets, so a $10 wager wins you $10. Fun fact: the last seven winners of the coin toss have lost the actual Super Bowl.
🏈 If you’re rooting for the most random of plays in the game, a $10 bet that one team will successfully recover an onside kick would win you $100. And a $10 bet that one team will record a safety would be worth $80.
🏈 You can bet on the first player to score any points in the game: a $10 wager on Rams’ kicker Matt Gay pays $37.50. The longest odds listed on the Sportsbook Rhode Island app is for Bengals’ backup running back Chris Evans, who would pay out $400 on a $10 bet if he scores first.
🏈 If you missed out on any Super Bowl square contests with your friends, you can attempt to wager on the exact number of points scored by either team in the game. If you think the Bengals are going to get shut out, a $10 bet would pay $1,500. For the Rams to be shut out, $10 pays $3,000.
🏈 Are you a basketball fan? There are cross-sports wagers you can make, including whether Trae Young will score more points against the Celtics on Sunday than the Rams will score in the Super Bowl ($10 pays $9).
🏈 Maybe you’re really bummed out about how the Patriots ended their season. If you’re feeling extra optimistic, you can already bet on them to win next year’s Super Bowl. A $10 bet would pay $250.
