Dear Canadian readers: You may want to take advantage of this.
If you're into sports gambling or familiar with the field, you probably already know that prop bets are normal (and popular) when it comes to the Super Bowl. That is, the first coin, the result of his toss, the winning team's Gatorade color, the national anthem, which takes a long time, but there are a lot of them.

Well, this year we (or at least Canadians) will be making a new prop bet. FanDuel Canada has put props in a sportsbook where you can bet on whether you think Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will propose to his pop star superstar girlfriend Taylor Swift.
When the odds are first opened, a “yes” is displayed as +140 (win $190 on a $100 bet) and a “no” is displayed as -170 (win $100 on a $170 bet). I did.

However, if you know how odds work, you already know how they change (or jump) all the time.
Well…with early odds it didn't take long for that to happen.

But if you're really a conspiracy theorist, there's still a lot of value here, and sometimes theories become reality.
Let this person explain:
Has there ever been a major proposal at the Super Bowl? Was it all set up to foster a “romance” between Swift and Kelsey?How does this help @Pfizer? Is Taylor Swift supporting Biden in trying to conquer Trump return?? Yes, this is all a huge distraction from other things… pic.twitter.com/zO3QvWSpIU

Canada, bet on yes. Bet on “yes”. There's a lot of value here.
