THON 2019 Prop Bets

THON weekend is finally here, and we’re excited to see all that unfolds in 46 sleep-deprived hours at the Bryce Jordan Center. If you’re looking for a way to keep things interesting while passing the time, we’ve made our official prop bets for 2019.

For those not familiar with prop bets, Onward State co-founder Evan Kalikow put it best: “A prop bet is short for proposition bet. Basically, it’s a bet on something not commonly betted upon. For example, lots of people bet on the score of the Super Bowl, but how many people bet on how many times the winning coach will say ‘humbled’ in the post-game press conference? That’s a prop bet.”

All betting odds are made up because this is all just for fun! After all, ONWARD STATE IS NOT A GAMBLING SITE. Please don’t slide into our DMs to place some action. Also, don’t bet on THON. It’s not very FTK.
