As the “Big Game” approaches this weekend, there’s one thing I always like to check.
No, not the money line.
The prop bets.
My favorites from this year’s crop include:
“Will Knoshown Moreno cry during the National Anthem?”
“Will Michael Crabtree mention Richard Sherman in a tweet during the game?” (God I hope not)
“Will the power go out in the stadium during the game?” (LOL Super Bowl)
But, after watching a funny conversation on Twitter with fellow Twin Cities PRs/social media marketers George Fiddler and Andrew Miller, I’m enthralled with a whole new category of prop bets: The Real-Time Marketing prop bets!
So, let’s get this going right now! Let’s have some fun with this. Here’s my line-up of 15 Real-Time Marketing prop bets. If you care to wager, please email me at arik@arikhanson. I am NOT kidding!
1–Number of worthless branded hash tags featured on ads during the Super Bowl: Over/Under–127
2–Number of different shapes Oreo will construe its cookie in for Facebook posts/Instagram pics/tweets: Over/Under–8
3–Number of “clever” tweets clearly written by advertising firm copywriters: Over/Under: Too many to count
4–Number of times the #beatspills (this is a real thing) tweet about Richard Sherman during the game: Over/Under 23
