NFL-Glady Knight's national anthem costs betting company dearly
But after a pause she sang the word again and was clocked at one minute, 53 seconds. While some companies chose to pay out the over and others the under on the bet, BetOnline.ag said they would pay out both sides, losing an estimated six-figures on the bet, the company said.
Money wagered on the length of the national anthem is by far the largest pre-game proposition bet, far exceeding the coin toss and others combined, the company said. (Reporting by Rory Carroll; Editing by Greg Stutchbury)
