1 The betting started promptly at 5:30. Guests were asked to bring single dollar bills and to sign the Super Bowl Box Pool.

2 You could also bet on all sorts of other nutty things that happen during the entire broadcast. Proposition bets, or prop bets are very specific bets, like the time it takes to sing the national anthem.

3 Don't you think that Kelly Clarkson did a super job singing backed by a children's choir? Unfortunately, I lost this bet.

4 The Patriots, of course, were ahead at half-time. I lost another dollar here!

5 I actually won a dollar here, but my friend, Lorraine Bracco lost!

6 I did fine on this one since Victor Cruz, #80, scored the first touchdown for the NY Giants.

7 Does anyone know the answer?
