Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thank you for listening. As we know, the Big Game
is happening this weekend and this is always fun, the
betting part of this, the prop bets and all of that.
Jim Ryan, ABC News is joining us now from Dallas,
and hey, Jim, at least you're not covering a hurricane
is what I was thinking when I saw you were
covering this today.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Thank god, I'm happy for you.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Answer. It's hurricanes are good, they can be, all.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Right, yeah, but this is more fun and not as
dangerous either. Right, So talk to me about does it
could break records in sports bett yes weekend?
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Probably so, because so many states now allow for sports betting,
legal sports betting. You know, your sports betting in Ohio
has been legal for a little over a year now.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Back in twenty eighteen, the Supreme Court threw up its
hands and said, look, you state legislatures, decide on your own.
We don't care on's legal sports betting. Do it fine?
So about thirty nine states now have legal sports gambling.
And because of that, the American Gaming Association says that
we're going to wager one point thirty nine billion dollars
(01:01):
on the Super Bowl this year.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Mark. Yeah, that's a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Yeah, when you put here in Ohio now weed's also
legal now too, Jim Ryan. So when you couple you
throw in tandem with legal betting and legal weed.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Good lord man, it's getting crazy over.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
It A lot of way to spend your money.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, yes, yeah, so talk to me about So it
looks like, yeah, there was a surge in between last
year instead of that. I'm like looking over this, but yeah,
you're expected to break records this weekend. Totally believable. The
thing is, I think to spread Kansas City is a
one point favorite, and I think it's forty eight and
a half for the over under. But then there's prop
(01:40):
bets and tell us about that. That's actually a lot
of fun doing those.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah, prom bets are great.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I mean they're they're weird, they're funny, they're hilarious. Will
any pleyer or coach cry during the national anthem that
one's a push?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Minus one fifteen? No, minus one fifteen? How long will
the national anthem last? Will it be over two minutes?
We're under two minutes. The odds are that it's going
to be longer than that. And what color will the
gatorade that's dumped over the head of the winning coach.
Be the odds makers say it'll be purple.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
It was last year.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I think it was the year before that too, and
way down the list yellow orange. But you can bet
on those two. But yeah, the prop bets. I was
talking this morning with Milwaukee and the Potawatamy Casino. There
had something like nine hundred possible prop bets you can
you can wager on.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah, And I was just telling Chuck to Jim that
Chuck who's on air with me. I was telling him
that usually for these prop bets, it's pretty low what
you can wager, like, they cap that in a pretty
low way. So I think they do that simply because
the obvious. I mean, oh, you could be privy to
what color the gatorade's gonna do.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
I'm just assuming gatorades should be the color of the
winning team. Shouldn't the coach get you know, it's green,
If it's fillings, that's it's good.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
That's a great idea, Jeh, why not?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
That would make sense.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Then you've got to have two big.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Buckets though, one with little you know that says Philly
on it on the side, so be green, right, And
then the other one is orange. Of course you've got
combination colors too, though, So what would it be if
if Andy Reid is getting doubts, is it gonna be orange?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Will it be what? Is it yellow and white?
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Or what?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I mean you're right, I mean it it can get again.
I don't know what's available. I haven't looked on those bets, but.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
They're to age gender reveal. That would be cool.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Oh and like will Travis proposed the tailor?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
That that's one of them, right.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
I mean yes, except that's a good way to be
sort of a float chart. Yes he proposes and does
she say yes? Does she say no? Does he cry?
The possibilities are endle us. By the way, the oddsmakers
say that he will not propose to her on Super
Bowl Sunday?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
So yeah, what is that?
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Minus money for that? I'm guessing?
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Oh yeah, yeah, Okay, it is big odds against who's
going to get more FaceTime camera time during the Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Will it be President Trump or will it be Swift?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
This is a this is a this's a head scratch.
It's actually a good one.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
There'll be a lot of both, but I don't know
A Taylor may edge him out there.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
I don't know that's that's probably depends on if you
wear something backless, President Trump, Yes, feel free to use
that later, Jim, if you're on with other.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
People, Helen, there's something back see.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
He's writing it down perfect.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
All right, Uh, this is fun, and of course we'll
all be looking at this kind of stuff, but this
is the fun for me part. I think this is
more fun than what we're going to actually witness on
the field, quite frankly, but I think it's probably gonna
be I don't I don't think it's going to be
a blowout one way or another. Going to probably be
a good game. But I love all this side stuff,
(04:46):
all the all the all of this going.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Makes it's fun.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
It's probably trying to get a lot of attention from
people who really couldn't care less about the game, but
you know, I want to be involved somehow, and so
this gives them a chance to do that.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, pretty good, All right, Jim Ryan, ABC News out
of Dallas, Jim, thank you very much, appreciate you. All right,
care seeh Man, All right, he.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Could he could wear something backless, or if Mulani is
with him and she wears something backless.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yeah, Taylor loses that.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Well, that camera's on him as often as possible, just
so they can accidentally get Mlani on camera.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Two, Well, they're in Nolins and uh this is a dome,
so it is climate controlled, is my point.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
So they're very well could be some backless there, Yes, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I think Taylor is going to get more because you know,
let's face it, the NFL, by and large, from top down,
is woke. So they're going to show the least amount
of President Trump and they want to continue just putting
Taylor's face. She's like the face of the NFL right now.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
The face of Napoleon Dynamite. I'm telling you, compare the doll.
They are the same person.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
John Heater is that his name?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I thought it was Header, but yeah, is that header?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Something like that?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I think everybody who's.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Going what's talking about, go to your your Google or
whatever right now, look up Napoleon Dynamite, look at the face,
put a blonde wig on it, in your head and
tell me that ain't Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
You do might kind of make a little bit of
a point there. It's kind of scary actually, yea, because
I think she's good looking. I'm one of those people
and I know you. That's not your cup of tea. No,
that's a tall drink of water. And uh, but I
don't know. There's something. There's some but I think by
the way, the the the Gatorade, I think it's gonna
(06:28):
be a container of donuts. They're gonna dump on Andy Reid.
Not even gonna be.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Gator catch them before they hit the ground.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
It'd be like a video game, right like where they're
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Like cookie Monster on donuts.
