Super Bowl 55 Gatorade Props – Not Available in the US
Even though Super Bowl is the most popular sports event in the United States, sportsbooks based in this country cannot offer Super Bowl 55 Gatorade props. Why? Because the American gambling legislation does not recognize these sorts of bets as sports bets.
The thing is that in order to be classified as a sports bet, a wager needs to be decided by the athletes, that is, their skills and physical abilities. With bets like Super Bowl 55 Gatorade props, there’s no competition on the field – instead, the color of Gatorade is decided by the event organizers.
Still, even though Americans can’t bet on Super Bowl 55 Gatorade props, they can compete with their friends for free. With no money involved, you have nothing to lose – you can have a wild guess.
However, if you’re like the staff writers from the FatCatBet, then you hate losing. If you’d like to do better than your friends, better take a look at the Super Bowl 55 Gatorade odds:

The odds you see above are just reflections of bettors’ opinions. The options with the shortest odds are those that people have been backing the most in offshore sportsbooks. Keep in mind that the betting odds do not reflect the true probability, at least not in the case of Super Bowl 55 Gatorade bets.
History of Super Bowl Gatorade Color
The history of Gatorade pouring starts in 1984. That’s when the Giants nose tackle Jim Burt poured the sugary liquid onto his head coach Bill Parcells. He did it in the game against Washington which his team won 37-13. Burt’s reason was to protest the lack of playing time.
Bill Parcells a.k.a. the Big Tuna, got showered in Gatorade 16 more times the same season. The Super Bowl game was one of those occasions. As the Giants won it that year, other teams decided to embrace this tradition, turning the Gatorade bath into a Super Bowl staple.
