First Day Of Spring 2023 Classes Prop Bets

We’re so back.

Another semester has come and gone, and it’s already time to begin the spring 2023 semester. Whether you’re uberly prepared for what’s to come or drove back to school this morning, Sylly Week isn’t stopping for anyone.

In typical Onward State fashion, we compiled a list of prop bets to make your first day of class go by quickly.

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.”

It’s important to note, however, Onward State is NOT a gambling site, and none of these bets are real whatsoever. We don’t encourage or promote gambling, but we do encourage having fun. Lots of it, actually.

So, let’s get into it.
