There is a bit of a strategy when it comes to the Gatorade Shower Super Bowl bet.
Typically one looks at the uniform and/or team colors. For example, the Patriots have made regular appearances in the Super Bowl over the years. As such, Blue and Clear (White) were often the favorites.
The Gatorade Shower tradition was said to have begun with the New York Giants football team in the mid-80s supposedly when Jim Burt performed the action on head coach Bill Parcells after being angered over the coach's treatment of him that week. But there is some argument here.
Former Chicago Bears defensive tackle Dan Hampton insists it was he who invented the shower in 1984 when the Bears dunked Mike Ditka upon clinching the NFC Central.
Regardless of where it all began, there is little question that the phenomenon gained national attention in the 1986 Giants season. Parcells was doused after 17 victories that season, culminating with Super Bowl XXI.
