Billy Joel prop--HUGE value!
Bodog lets you bet on how long it will take Billy Joel to sing the national anthem before the Super Bowl ("Super Bowl Team Props"). The current line is Over 1:44 +100 Under 1:44 -140. Billy Joel has sung the national anthem at a major sporting event before. You can watch it here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7qnMitnDSY In which he takes 1:38. Now, I'm not a musician, but it's hard to imagine how he's going to stretch that out for another 6 seconds. Fair value for the Under is more like -200 or more.

Re: Billy Joel prop--HUGE value!
The internet is abuzz with "Billy Joel Under" posts.
Billy's always been a huge Ray Charles fan. If he goes all soul on you, you're in for one long song. This is the superbowl. He won't be standing behind home plate with a mic stand. He'll have a piano, and an orchestra. He'll have planes flying overhead. It's not something to be rushed through. Personally, if my book puts this one up, I'm taking the over, just to go against popular opinion.

Re: Billy Joel prop--HUGE value!
I think I'd take the over on this as well. He seemed a bit rushed in the youtube vid.
As a side note, he sounded like complete ass.

Re: Billy Joel prop--HUGE value!
I have actually tried to do some research and I gave up. He sung at the 1989 Super Bowl. There should be some tape on that. Also, what is the median or mean time for the anthem? Even the soul versions speed up other areas so that they come out under 2 minutes. I was going to take the under when it came out at -110.
I just checked and the lines are under -125 over -115
