As you may have heard, it’s Bad Bunny Weekend, when the Grammy winner’s Sunday concert will be the most-watched TV event of the year so far. Such is the enthusiasm for this show that the marketing geniuses at the NFL have scheduled two halves of a football game around it.
If you are looking to enjoy the concert with a group of fans, pretty much every bar in South Florida will have some kind of watch party scheduled.
Of course, whenever there is an event this big, there will be gambling companies offering a long list of prop bets. For instance, at BetOnline you can wager on whether Bad Bunny will sing a song in all Spanish (Yes +550, No -1000); whether he’ll say the word “ICE” (Yes +200, No -300); and which star will make a guest appearance (favorite: Cardi B -250).
You also can bet on the first song performed during Green Day’s pregame concert (favorites: “American Idiot” +100, “Basket Case” +300 and “Know Your Enemy” +400); the total number of Truth Social posts by President Trump on Sunday (over/under 10.5); and which number will be higher: Trump’s approval rating on Sunday (+150) or total points scored in the football game (-200).
Per our attorneys, we must remind you to gamble responsibly. Better yet, don’t do it. It’s stupid. Buy something for your kid instead.
