The most controversial call this year super Bowl it had nothing to do with football. The Americans bet about $ 6 billion on the big game between the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams, including a particularly popular “close bet” or “proposal bet.” how long it would take Gladys Knight to sing the national anthem.
But it is unclear whether the performance of the Empress of the Soul on Sunday ended after the first “brave” or the second “brave” she did. It seemed like Knight had finished singing “brave” around 1:49, before repeating “the brave” again: the length of the song was reduced to just over two minutes.
Most sports betting suits set the line above / minus at 1:50, that is, if the melody officially ended after the first “brave”, it would have been paid for below, but if it ended when she he stopped singing, it would have been the end. winner.
There was so much controversy over how long the song officially ended that BetOnline.ag sports betting paid bettors on both sides of the line, Sbnation.com reported.
Other sports betting had made it clear in advance that they would stop the clock at the end of the first “brave”, leaving no room for debate.
Game Guru RJ Bell advised bettors to pay close attention to the small print of non-standard accessory bets.
“Make sure you understand the TERMS OF YOUR BOOK on all non-standard accessories!” he tweeted before the Super Bowl performance.
Bell also leaked apparent inside information about how long he hoped the anthem would last, letting the public know that a camera that had listened to the rehearsals said they arrived at 1:59 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
Bell estimates that more than a million dollars was bet on the length of the national anthem alone, which made some players very unhappy.
A Knight publicist said the record star “was very happy to sing the national anthem” and declined further comments in an email to CBS MoneyWatch.
Although Knight herself has not thought about when the song ended, it is assumed that the Empress of the Soul song is over when the Empress of the Soul stops singing.
The quality of his performance, however, has not been a matter of debate: everyone agreed that he was beautiful.
