Sportsbook.ag reported that some suspicious activity had come in on its National Anthem wagering just one hour prior to this past weekend’s Super Bowl.

They had offered odds on the amount of time it would take for Idina Menzel to sing the Anthem with a total set at OVER/UNDER 122.5 seconds.

“About an hour before the game we took multiple max bets on the OVER,” a Sportsbook.ag representative advised.  “Many of them were new accounts and from Arizona, which suggested some insider information, possibly from Idina Menzel’s rehearsals. 

“Fortunately the limits were so low on the prop but we suspended the line anyway,” the rep stated.

Menzel’s version was more drawn out than previous versions uploaded to YouTube.
