21 real-time marketing Super Bowl prop bets

Tuesday, January 28, 2014 by arikhanson

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)

SB

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!
