Wanna bet? Here are some of the wildest

Gaga’s hair color may mean more to some than others

- STAFF AND WIRE

Big games rake in bigger bets, and Super Bowl LI is no exception. And there are some super silly ones you can make. Online sites offer such wagers. But just in case you have some inside dope — like Lady Gaga’s hairstylis­t is your cousin — don’t think you can strike it rich. Most books take fairly low limits on prop bets and the manager’s decision is final.

Here are a few of the wildest ones:

— What color will Lady Gaga’s hair be when she starts her halftime show? Odds: Blonde (-400), any other color (+250) — What color will the liquid be that is poured on the winning coach’s head?

Odds: Clear/water (+300), lime/green (+350), purple (+1200), yellow (+300), blue (+500), orange (+300), red (+500)

— Who will the Super Bowl MVP thank first? Odds: Teammates (+200), God (+200), none of the listed options (+250), coach (+900), owner (+900), family (+900), Donald Trump (+2000).

— How many times will Donald Trump tweet during the game?

Odds: Over 1.5 (-115), under 1.5 (-115) — What will Lady Gaga Wear?

Odds: Hat/headdress (-150), glasses (+200), wings (+500), tail (+1600), ‘I voted Hillary’ T-shirt (+2500), cut-off sweatshirt (+5000), absolutely nothing (+10000) — Will Gaga say “Trump” in halftime show? Yes (-140), no (+110) — What will Luke Bryan be wearing when he starts singing the US National Anthem? Odds: Blue jeans (-200), any other pants (+150) —Will Luke Bryan forget or omit a word from the Official US National Anthem? Odds: Yes (+400), no (-700) — How many times will “deflate” or “deflategat­e” be said on live TV? Odds: Over 1.5 (-120), under 1.5 (-120) — Will “Houston, we have a problem” be said on live TV? Odds: Yes (+250), no (-400) — Will Luke Bryan be wearing a hat when he appears on screen before singing the U.S. National Anthem? Odds: Yes (+150), no (-200) — Puppy Bowl XIII — Will the MVP be a pure breed or a mixed breed? Odds: Pure breed (+300), mixed breed (-500) — Will the word “lacrosse” be said on the live broadcast? Odds: Yes (-300), no (+200) — If the Patriots win, will Brady, Belichick or Kraft be seen shaking Roger Goodell’s hand on TV? Odds: Yes (-300), no (+200) — Will any Falcons or Patriots player be seen kneeling during the national anthem on TV during live broadcast?

Odds: Yes (+400), no (-700)
