Idina Menzel Super Bowl National Anthem 2015 Odds and Betting Games
Not a huge fan of football but really want to watch the Super Bowl? Love gambling but suck at choosing the over/under line on big games? Don't worry, Vegas has you covered.
The prop bets every season range from practical to the ridiculous. The national anthem lines are typically a bit tame, with the over/under on time always a mainstay for prop bettors. For Super Bowl XLIX, however, there is also a question as to whether or not Idina Menzel will omit a word during the performance.
Menzel, of course, is a Broadway star who rose to fame for singing "Let It Go" on Disney's Frozen. Therefore, she even fills the market for the under-13 girls demographic. Before she takes the stage, let's take a look at the prop bets and breakdown for the national anthem.

National Anthem Breakdown
For those who just know about Menzel through the Frozen performance, it may seem like a decent bet to believe she'll omit a word. But with her history as a Broadway star, there is no chance she'll forget a single note.
The 43-year-old performer has been doing this for a little while and also knows a little about the betting lines. Her father regularly switched his allegiances in New York due to betting purposes, per Bruce Arthur of the Toronto Star:
That genuine excitement from Arthur is due to the fact that bettors simply want to know she cares. With all of the prop bets out there, the national anthem serves as the best way to quickly make money before the actual game kicks off.
Another popular one is the over/under line, which is set at just over two minutes this year. From listening to "Let It Go," it's clear that Menzel has no issues holding out a note and taking her time with a song.
Menzel spoke about that line during her press conference, via Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News:
This isn't to say that Menzel will belabor the point like Alicia Keys, but she certainly has a set of lungs to show off. Given that this is her moment to shine, expect Menzel to pull out all the stops in Glendale.
Expect a huge rendition of the timeless classic and a huge payout for those who take these smart bets. After all, it's much more enjoyable to watch the Super Bowl with the pockets already a little bit fatter.
