The opening kickoff returned for a touchdown prop bet pays $8000 for every $100 bet.
The high payout potential is with good reason.
An opening kickoff returned for a touchdown has only happened once in Super Bowl history.
Devin Hester returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown in Super Bowl 41 - scoring one of the Chicago Bears' two touchdowns in a blowout loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
Really the payout should be substantially higher. That's because there were only four of 587 kickoffs (0.68%) returned for a touchdown during the 2023 NFL regular season. And that's for total kickoffs, not just the first.
