Among the many 2012 Super Bowl betting props is the First Penalty of the Game, which is being offered up by BetOnline.com, a leader in online sports betting since 1999 and offering up to $900 in FREE CASH based on your initial deposit. 

Stan Simmons of BetOnline.com offered this: 

“The build-up to the Super Bowl is unlike anything you’ve ever seen in your life. On the day of the game alone you’re liable to find at least three stations airing at least eight hours of pregame coverage. Even now, nine days before kickoff, there are specials on every day or night with experts giving their opinions on the Super Bowl, so how do you think the players feel? They’re revved up and ready to go and on the first series, whether you’re a veteran or a young guy up front, nerves can get the best of anyone. The NFL betting odds for a false start as the first penalty of the game is +240, while it is -300 for any other flag. If New England is first to have the ball, the +240 will be a very smart bet because their main goal is to slow down the New York front four.”

The odds for the First Penalty have not changed at the time of publication either. 

There were also odds on the First Team to be Penalized. With the Giants a -130 favorite while the Pats were coming in at even odds.
