Super Bowl Gatorade shower: What to know before you place this popular prop bet

BetMGM tells us that in a span between 2001 and 2023, orange Gatorade has appeared in the most Super Bowls, dousing the winning coach five times during that span. It's no wonder BetMGM's John Ewing reported via social media this week that bets on an orange Gatorade shower, priced at +500, are one of the top prop bets being placed at the sportsbook. 

However, blue Gatorade has appeared the most frequently, being poured over the winning coach's head in three of the last five Super Bowls and four times over the last nine Super Bowls. This is likely why BetMGM has blue Gatorade listed at more favorable odds at +275.

Additionally, red or pink Gatorade hasn't been used in the Super Bowl Gatorade shower ever since the turn of the millennium. Yet the colors are listed together at the same odds as regularly-occurring orange at +500 odds.

And don't forget about the ever-elusive clear Gatorade. While listed at +1000 odds, clear Gatorade made an appearance in four consecutive Super Bowls from 2005 to 2008. 

Think you have a handle on which color will be featured in this year's Gatorade shower? The odds could shift in the days leading up to the Super Bowl, but you don't want to wait too long to place your bet. Then you can kick back on Feb. 11 — well, until the end of the fourth quarter when that cooler of Gatorade gets dumped on someone's head.
