Where can you bet on the Super Bowl halftime show?
Betting on the Super Bowl halftime show is not an option on regulated sportsbooks in the United States in states where sports betting is legal. It is however available at regulated sportsbooks in Ontario and the rest of Canada.
When it comes to these non-game-related novelty props, oddsmakers don’t want to expose themselves to markets that are predetermined or could be leaked ahead of time for the benefit of bettors in the know.

Depending on the performer, sportsbooks offer odds on aspects of the performers' attire, censorship, and more.
When it comes to exotic markets at the Super Bowl, there is always wild line movement in some markets leading up to the event. The first song performed at the halftime show is usually one of those as rumors begin to fly about leaked setlists.

Halftime Show Best Bet: T.I. to appear on stage with Rihanna (+700 at CoolBet)
Rihanna has collaborated with several big-name artists during her career, and many of those show up in the odds for possible appearances on stage during the Super Bowl halftime show.
But while guys like Jay-Z and Drake top the board (and at hefty prices of -222 and -210), rapper T.I. is paying +700 and headlines one of the best songs to feature Rihanna – EVER – and a track that sits as her No. 2 all-time ranked song, according to the Billboard Music Charts.
The 2008 hit “Live Your Life” not only appeases the target 30-40 something crowd with music they love but the all-time banger is a perfect fit for the Big Game stage. Go dial the song up on Spotify and tell me you can’t picture the Arizona crowd popping with those first notes of the O-Zone sample.
And if you need some recent connection between the two artists, T.I.’s six-year-old daughter Heiress Harris recently went viral covering Rihanna’s newest song, “Lift Me Up”, in a video posted to Instagram.
Super Bowl halftime prop bets explained
The Super Bowl halftime show is must-watch TV, even for casual football fans. The midway mark of the NFL championship game is a spectacle just begging to be bet on, from the performer’s first song to the color of their outfits.
What is the Super Bowl halftime show?
The halftime show is a celebration as old as the Super Bowl itself. The original shows were planned around a theme; however, organizers ditched that method in the early 1990s and instead went with a notable headliner for the show, with guest appearances by other musical acts.
The halftime show extravaganza has gotten bigger and bigger every year, with complex sets and lighting, multiple guest appearances, and the occasional controversial moment. The Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime performance by Janet Jackson is one of the most memorable shows following her notorious “wardrobe malfunction.”
Super Bowl halftime prop bets
Super Bowl halftime prop bets have picked up in popularity, thanks to the online sports betting boom in the late 1990s. These novelty odds have grown each Super Bowl, limited only by the imagination of oddsmakers and fueled by bettors' appetite for Super Bowl props.
Halftime show props join the coin toss, the national anthem length, and the color of the Gatorade bath as some of the more popular Super Bowl novelty odds available. The most common halftime show prop markets are centered around the first song performed, the color of the performer’s outfit, and possible guest appearances on stage during the performance.
How to bet on Super Bowl halftime
Along with other Super Bowl odds, bettors need to know how to bet on Super Bowl prop markets. The list of Super Bowl halftime show props varies from sportsbook to sportsbook. However, you will see similar markets at most places, especially when it comes to the color of the performer’s outfit as well as the first song performed.
These types of props are often presented in a long list with odds for each option based on their probability. An artist’s most popular songs or newest songs often find themselves among the favorites to be the first song performed, while the colors of the teams playing in the Super Bowl can also influence potential performer outfit colors.
Another method for betting halftime props is Yes/No propositions, asking bettors to choose if something will occur or not. Both the Yes and No options will have attached odds, such as “Will a football be used as a prop?”: Yes +300/No -500.
Here are some other fun Yes/No props from the 2020 Super Bowl:
- Will there be a wardrobe malfunction during the Super Bowl show?
- Will a football be used as a prop during the halftime show?
- Will Shakira wear a hat during the halftime show?
- Will Gloria Estefan join the halftime show?
Super Bowl halftime betting history
Super Bowl halftime show prop betting was ushered in by the advances in online sports betting in the late 1990s, and as the shows grew bigger, so did the odds offerings.
However, it wasn’t until Janet Jackson’s revealing Super Bowl XXXVIII performance that oddsmakers went wild with the prop odds. Thanks to that controversial moment, a possible “wardrobe malfunction” is always included in the Super Bowl halftime show prop mix.
These fun and exotic Super Bowl odds garner plenty of media attention as well, as they have a huge mainstream appeal beyond the Super Bowl, football, and sports in general.
