Super Bowl is coming up on Sunday so today’s mystery is football related. A lot of the prop bets from Vegas have started to come out. Random things you can bet on like the coin toss, “how long will the national anthem be”, and what color Gatorade the winning team will dump on the coach. Always very fun. But one bet that confused me, even as someone who watches football a lot was “player records an octopus” An octopus? What does that mean?!
Apparently it’s when a player scores a touchdown, then the team goes for the 2-point conversion which the same player also scores that as well. Giving that player 8 points total. Get it? eight, octopus. Pretty funny! I bet it pays out a lot too since it seems very rare that would happen.
