Caesars Sportsbook bookmaker offered proposition bet on rookie William " The Refrigerator" Perry to score a touchdown in 1985 Super Bowl XX .

The Chicago Bears coach had been using Perry in the backfield on certain short-yardage plays all season .

A prop on the opening kickoff for a touchdown is 200-1 .

The Super Bowl has started with a 2 -0 score only three times, the longest drought since 1983 .

"Any non-QB to throw a passing touchdown" was listed at +3500 last season ahead of Super Bowl LVIII.

"Philly Special" was the first player to throw an octopus touchdown in Super Bowl LII.

The coin toss is one of the most popular Super Bowl prop markets after year after year .

Three states allow betting on the color of the Gatorade that will be poured on the winning coach.

Last year , Brock Purdy barely got over his 12.5 rushing yards prop with 13 on the evening.

Other popular markets for informal or offshore markets include the length of the pregame national anthem.
