The Super Bowl 2011 prop bet we've all been waiting for: What color will the Gatorade be that showers the winning coach?
BetUS.com was now offering the following Super Bowl 2011 Prop Bets on the Color of Gatorade.
Red is slightly less than even paying at BetUS.com. It's the favorite. Last year, clear was the favorite. This year, clear would pay out $30 for every $10 bet. BetUS.com pays even odds on Yellow, 5/1 on orange, 6/1 on lime green and the payout on blue would be $150 for every $10 bet.
From Wikipedia:
The Gatorade shower, also known as the Gatorade dunk and the Gatorade bath, is a sports tradition involving dumping a cooler full of liquid (most commonly Gatorade mixed with ice) over a coach's (or occasionally star player or owner's) head following a meaningful win. The tradition began with the New York Giants football team in the mid-80s. According to several sources, including Jim Burt of the Giants, it began on October 28, 1985, when Burt performed the action on Bill Parcells after being angered over the coach's treatment of him that week. Burt insisted that Harry Carson be the one to dump the Gatorade on Parcells, because he was a favorite and wouldn't get in trouble However, former Chicago Bears defensive tackle Dan Hampton claims he invented the shower in 1984 when the Bears dunked Mike Ditka upon clinching the NFC Central. The phenomenon gained national attention in the 1986 Giants season. Parcells was doused after 17 victories that season, culminating with Super Bowl XXI.
