Rolling Stone Accidentally Kills Off Bruce Springsteen Super Bowl Betting

We had no idea that a Super Bowl-related post on this Website would have such huge repercussions in Las Vegas: According to gambling site Gambling911, our article yesterday about the insane prop bets involving Bruce Springsteen’s halftime performance has led to the cancellation of all Springsteen-related wagers on sites like Sportsbook.com, which was mentioned in the story.

Yesterday, we kind of hinted which of the many pre-made Halftime Playlist options would be the winning combination (the answer was “Playlist H: Any Other Song Combination Not Listed”). We guess our readers took our little insider information tip to heart, because this happened: “We had to close the Springsteen half time show (betting) prop as too many people were pounding the favored ‘Any Other’ selection’”, Sportsbook.com spokesperson Dave Stanley told Gambling911. “After some investigation we found an article appearing in Rolling Stone that offered some clue as to what songs Springsteen would be performing.”

So somehow, Rock Daily changed the course of Super Bowl betting. Let us first apologize to all those people who placed a bet on the winning selection before our blog post. For what it’s worth, you were betting a maximum $50 to win $17, so it’s not like you had thousands of dollars invested there. To all those who bet on a losing Playlist option and thus we saved you $50, you’re welcome. And if you had money invested in crazy prop bets like whether or not Patty Scialfa would have a wardrobe malfunction or Courteney Cox was going to dance onstage, let us remind that we’re in the middle of a recession. But there’s no reason why we can’t continue the fun here — leave your bets in the comments! Rock Daily will be in Tampa, Florida, for the Big Game all weekend bringing you all-access Super Bowl-and-Springsteen coverage, so stay tuned for our reports.

Def plays born 2 run and there will be horns for some or all of the 12 minutes.

Snooze alert.

Finck | 1/29/2009, 6:18 pm EST

Who cares about Bruce Springsteen his music is so overrated and he’s a sellout.

Jungleland2 | 1/29/2009, 6:50 pm EST

This is EASY

My Lucky Day (new single)
Glory Days (sports relates)
Born To Run (biggest hit)
maybe a short Detroit Medley?

Jungleland2 | 1/29/2009, 6:53 pm EST

So I win the “Roll Of The Dice” for tying up the “Loose Ends” so “Pay Me My Money Down”

washed-up | 1/29/2009, 7:15 pm EST

Another washed-up old man trying to re-sing the songs of his youth but not coming close. He is finished. Who cares what he sings! We’ll all be switching channels for the half-time break anyway.

Brendan | 1/29/2009, 8:06 pm EST

He’s already confirmed he’s playing Born to Run… Actually, Nils did, but still…

Super Fan | 1/29/2009, 11:44 pm EST

I could care less about the 7 HOUR pre show.I could care less about the over hyped commercials. And with out a doubt i could give a rats ass about the halftime show.The game has almost become unwatchable because of all the fluff…The game play is the only thing I will watching.

I am definitely looking forward to this performance. He is energetic and dedicated. Go Bruce! No one can captivate an audience like Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band!

but I know it can’t be. alas.

Winnar! | 1/30/2009, 4:29 am EST

spanish johnny, Asburyrising gave you the correct songs and the exact order in which they will be played this Sunday. Not sure what you’re betting but I’ll take your money if you want to bet.

You’re an idiot, and full of crap.

In response to “Outlaw Pete’s” post: So the dork Kiss guy is who Bruce wants to sound like. I get it. What a waste of breath. Springsteen has a gift of being genuinely talented. If you are so insulted and waiting for a lawsuit why is Outlaw Pete your user name…

Jerry | 1/31/2009, 2:12 am EST

I think it is going to be a “kickstart America” set of four slightly shortened songs:

- Born in the U.S.A.
- Badlands
- My Lucky Day
- Born to Run

I don’t think Glory Days fits thematically and I don’t think Dancing in the Dark does either. Could be a real darkhorse like “Long Walk Home”, “My City of Ruins” or even “Eyes on the Prize” from the Seegar Sessions…>?

Lex | 1/31/2009, 8:39 am EST

The guy who posted the set list that started with 10th Ave Freeze Out nailed it. If you can find someone to take your bet, take that set list and go win you some money.

“so it’s not like you had thousands of dollars invested there”

F[_]CK YOU A$$HOLES FOR RUINING IT. NEXT TIME, DON’T TALK SHIT IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHATS AT STAKE OR DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT. WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE WHO HAS HOW MUCH MONEY AND HOW MUCH THEY ARE WILLING TO RISK? I’VE SEEN SUPERSTARS BET MORE THAN YOUR HOUSE IS WORTH. DICKHEADS!!!!!!!

Can’t take anything seriously that still can’t get “Patti’s” name correct.

Lex | 1/31/2009, 6:51 pm EST

It’s so funny that only one person has hit on the opening song, and he is obviously one of the volunteers. Tenth Ave Freeze Out is the opener – take it to the bank.

Greg Solo | 1/31/2009, 8:27 pm EST

Glory Days is my most disliked Springsteen song…and I love the guy. I hope that one is wrong. DO OUT IN THE STREETS!!! ;-)

No way he plays Born in the USA. He’ll be concerned that people will misunderstand the song again, this time on a world wide stage

Born to Run

Bet your house on it!

Jerry B. | 1/31/2009, 10:46 pm EST

You’re all wrong as he’ll play American Land; the USA feel-good, World’s melting pot song.

Jersey Boy | 1/31/2009, 10:59 pm EST

Personally with the time constraints I’d like to see one song… a 78 version of Prove It All Night… then again I’m probably thinking of my Glory Days :-)

Please – no political comments!!!!

karl | 2/1/2009, 12:26 am EST

wow, only one is correct and all the people who are “sure” of things, “sure” are wrong!!! As a member of the show, I can tell you it rocks, is entertaining, has some surprises, and is most definitely worth watching!!! I am not even a Bruce fan but this show is great!

Nick | 2/1/2009, 4:01 am EST

20 minute version of Rosalita!

Brad | 2/1/2009, 7:38 am EST

Since you guys ruined my meal ticket and I hate you, please tell Wener to kiss my behind!!!!

1. 10th Avenue Freeze Out
2. Born to Run
3. Working on a Dream
4. Glory Days….

In that order………

Bruce said in pre-game interviews that the idea is to play 12 minutes of party music. I’ve seen no one pick Bruce’s former concert closing faves “Quarter To Three” or the barn-burning “Devil With The Blue Dress On” Medley. Now THAT would be some party music, and about the right length of time!Other than that, Born To Run would be a natural addition.

don’t mean to be a party pooper, BUT:
People are actually betting their hard-earned money on what will be the playlist for the halftime show?
Well, they better not complain about the economy if they can afford to do that!
