The Gatorade bath color is one of the most popular prop bets in any Super Bowl but not all U.S. states allow wagering through their regulated apps.
Betting on the color of the Gatorade shower is prohibited in the state of New York at DraftKings, FanDuel and other regulated apps. The only options available are local bookmakers and offshore sportsbooks, some of which have been around for nearly three decades now (i.e. Skybook).
New York regulators also prohibit the likes of DraftKings, BetMGM and FanDuel from taking bets on other Super Bowl novelty props like the Halftime Show and National Anthem.
History of the Gatorade Bath
The Gatorade bath is said to have originated from one of two incidents.
In the mid-80's when Jim Burt performed the action on Giants head coach 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.
Former Chicago Bears defensive tackle Dan Hampton insists it was he who invented the shower, not Jim Burt. In 1984, his team dunked Bears head coach Mike Ditka with a bucket of Gatorade upon clinching the NFC Central.

The last two showers have been purple and, indeed, that is the favorite color, promising a payout of $200 for every $100 bet.
