Super Bowl Prop Bets: Why Fans Should Go Against Birdman's $5 Million Wager

Okay, here's the story: Cash Money CEO Birdman posted on Twitter that he would bet $5 million on the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, and Black Sports Online posted a story on the matter.

The story spread and BetOnline.com promptly said they would gladly accept the bet.

"

“If Birdman is prepared to put his money where his mouth is, we are prepared to accept his $5 million wager on either the point spread or the money line of Super Bowl XLVI,” said Dave Mason, BetOnline brand manager, in a statement.  

"

Mason went on to add, "Once Birdman’s bet is in, we will release a snapshot of the bet in his BetOnline.com account, and Birdman will finally have proof that he is the sports bettor who he boasts of being.”

Aw snap, Birdman—time to put up or shut up. You got called out!

BetOnline.com went on to add prop bets at their site (from BetOnline.com and via BeyondTheBets.com).

I'm thinking "bet elsewhere" is the safe play. It would help Birdman save face by allowing him to keep up the facade that he had actually placed such a bet.

I mean, c'mon—is Birdman really stupid enough to bet $5 million dollars on a football game? More importantly than that, is he willing to do so on a game that truly could go either way like this one?

Honestly, I can forgive a bit of Internet hubris and ridiculous bets you don't actually intend on making. You have an image to maintain; I get it.

But actually betting $5 million so you can come across as some sort of ballin' gangsta (or whatever the kids are saying these days)?

That's just stupid.

So go ahead and make a few easy bucks betting against Birdman's $5 million wager. Common sense is on your side.

Hit me up on Twitter—my tweets are chicken soup for the Internet soul.
