PinnacleSports Posts Odds On First Maddenism Said During Super Bowl
Broadcast
WILLEMSTAD, CURACAO (February 2, 2006)—Catch phrases have become an
integral part of today’s sports broadcasts with commentators livening up
games by adding their own unique style to the play-by-play commentary. No
modern-day announcer has become more famous for his inimitable commentary
than John Madden, whose catch phrases are now commonly referred to as
“Maddenisms”. With Madden working the broadcast booth at Super Bowl XL,
leading online sportsbook PinnacleSports today posted betting lines on
the first Maddenism uttered by the commentator after kickoff Sunday.
For the first time in Super Bowl betting history, PinnacleSports is
allowing players to wager on Madden’s most popular clichés said during the
big game. Pinnaclesports believes the first catch phrase Madden will
say after kickoff will be “heck of a…,” listed as the favorite at 6/5
(i.e., win $6 for every $5 bet). Classic Maddenism “big time” is listed
with the second-best odds at 7/2. Perhaps the most famous Maddenism,
“boom” is a 7/1 long shot along with “horsecollar,” a recent addition to
the announcer’s collection of sayings. The odds that memorable Madden
catch phrases “manhandled” or “wham” will be the first said during the
Super Bowl broadcast stand at 9/1 and 15/1, respectively. Players can also
bet that Madden will say none of the listed phrases during the big game at
13/2 odds.
“Proposition bets on the Super Bowl cover literally every aspect of the
game, so it’s only natural to offer betting on which catch phrase the
sport’s most famous commentator will say during this year’s broadcast,”
said Simon Noble of PinnacleSports. “While other Maddenisms are more
well-known, the odds favor ‘heck of a…’ or ‘big time’ being the first
cliché that the future Hall of Famer says Sunday.”
