THON 2025 Prop Bets

It’s THON Weekend, folks.

Dancers and supporters are getting ready to stand as part of a 46-hour dance marathon For The Kids. Over the course of the weekend, there will be a lot of fun activities, guest appearances, and memorable moments. In a society now dominated by sports gambling, what better way to get excited for the weekend than placing prop bets?

For folks unfamiliar with the term, Onward State co-founder Evan Kalikow said 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.”

Onward State is not a gambling site. We don’t encourage you to bet on THON, but we do encourage you to have fun.
