Rolling Stone Ruins Springsteen Online Casino Super Bowl Bets

Internet casinos were forced to pull the bets offered on song sets, but it wasn

Perhaps the most enjoyable part of the Super Bowl is wading through the crazy proposition wagers, seeing what unusual and quirky plays the online gambling sites have listed. This year, because of the enormous hoopla over rock legend Bruce Springsteen's halftime appearance, some of the most interesting plays were bets on which songs the E Street Band would perform... until Rolling Stone gave out insider info killing the plays.

In writing a light-harted look at the sportbooks' choices of possible sets the Boss might choose from his extensive library, Rolling Stone listed online casino entries including "Glory Days", "My Lucky Day", "Badlands", and "Born to Run", or "Born in the U.S.A.", "Thunder Road", "Rosalita", and "My Lucky Day." But the magazine gave away that rehearsals showed the winner would be the field choice rather than any of the listed sets.

Internet casinos were forced to pull the bets offered on song sets, but it wasn't a huge blow to them or players, just a little cheap entertainment lost. The field play would have paid one to three, with a fifty dollar maximum bet, for a whopping seventeen dollar payday.

Other bets were still being featured, including the posibility of a Janet Jackson-like "wardrobe malfunction" by Bruce at three to one, his wife Patty Scialfa at two to one, and Sopranos actor and guitarist Little Steven Van Zandt at eight to one.

Even the chance of Courteney Cox making a suprise appearance, to have Bruce yank her up on stage recreating the "Dancing in the Dark" video from twenty-five years ago, can be bet on with a ten to one payout. One thing for sure: whatever the wager, Bruce will give the audience their money's worth and more.
