The Super Bowl is coming up faster than you think, and all eyes will be on The Weeknd when he takes the stage for the halftime show. In fact, online sportsbook Bovada.LV is now offering you the chance to bet on what's going to happen during his performance.
Instead of boring bets like which team will win the coin flip and who will score the most touchdowns, Bovada lets you place what are called "prop bets" on minutiae like what song Weeknd will play first, what song he'll play last, which special guests will join him onstage and whether or not he'll have a wardrobe malfunction.
Strangely, there's no option to bet on whether or not the singer will have bandages all over his face, or whether or not he'll be wearing bizarre prosthetics that make him look like he had botched plastic surgery.
