A wise bettor easily cracked the code on Super Bowl anthem prop
Our Summary
A man reportedly used a stopwatch and listening device outside Levi’s Stadium during Super Bowl LX rehearsals to time Charlie Puth's national anthem performance, enabling him to successfully wager on its duration. The activity, conducted in a public space, is not classified as insider information, as it was accessible to anyone with the right tools and timing. This incident underscores potential vulnerabilities in betting systems for events like the anthem and halftime show, where outcomes can be influenced by publicly observable rehearsals. As long as such bets are available, similar strategies could be employed in future events.
