Forget about Pittsburgh or Arizona, or any of the hundreds of funky prop bets that exist in Las Vegas for Super Bowl Sunday.
For many viewers, the commercials will be the focus, and an offshore sports book in Panama on Monday pegged Anheuser-Busch, at 4-1, as the early favorite for best Super Bowl ad.
The Monster vs. Aliens move 3D ad is 6-1, Teleflora is 7-1, and Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, Bridgestone Tires, Hyundai and Doritos are all at 8-1.
Rounding out the BetOnline.com list is Monster.com and E*Trade, both at 10-1, Castrol Motor Oil and CareerBuilder.com (12-1), and H&R Block (15-1).
BetOnline, based in Panama City, Panama, will pay its customers according to USA Today’s Ad Meter rankings.
“Everyone knows that the Super Bowl commericals have become a spectacle all on their own, we’re just trying to give viewers and bettors another way to enjoy the game,” said BetOnline CEO Eddie Robbins III. “Super Bowl ads are such a big part of American pop culture now that it’s only fitting we offer odds on which ad will perform the best.”
