Hundreds of thousands of people will be betting on the National Anthem at Super Bowl 48. This proposition bet is typically specific to the length of the performance. Occasionally, there will be odds on color of a singer’s outfit or whether they wear a hat. Public was pounding the UNDER 2:23 just after 6 pm EDT and that appears to have been the winner .

Not so with opera singer Renee Fleming, and she is the first time an opera singer will perform the National Anthem at a Super Bowl event.

The OVER/UNDER time Ms. Fleming is expected to sing the Anthem was set at 2 minutes, 33 seconds exactly at BetOnline.

The OVER will pay out $15 on every $10 bet while the UNDER will result in a $10 profit on an $18 risk.

I past years, one could place their bet based on prior performances of the National Anthem by the selected singer, typically via YouTube. In the case of Fleming, these videos (if they exist) are hard to come by. Gambling911.com could not find any.

Betting on the National Anthem is among the most popular prop offerings, and this year is no exception.
