Welcome back, everyone! With a new semester (and a new year), there will always be prop bets. As you get back in the groove of checking Canvas and navigating State College’s streets, keep your eyes open for anything mentioned on this list. Good luck.

For those unfamiliar 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.”

We must note that Onward State is not a gambling site, and none of these bets are real in any way, shape, or form. We also do not encourage or promote gambling, but we do know how to provide some harmless fun. Let’s get into it!
