proposition bets
Exotic gambling wagers
Proposition bets, usually shortened to prop bets, are wagers on specific events within a game rather than on the final outcome.
In football, you might bet on which team scores first, how many yards a quarterback throws, or whether there will be a safety.
Prop bets proliferate around major events like the Super Bowl, where you can bet on the length of the national anthem or the color of the Gatorade dumped on the winning coach.
I put a prop bet on the coin toss.
