Super Bowl Prop Bets are as American as your mother and as addicting as, um, stuff. Will Brinson's got a program for your all-American fix.

One of the more desperate prop bets you can sling around involves using multiple sports to gamble. Actually, strike that "desperate" and go ahead and insert "awesome." Because, let's be honest, there's really nothing cooler than getting to pit basketball and football against each other in one big move to rake a ton of cash.

When the Super Bowl comes to town though, is certainly a pristine moment to grab both sports by the, um, balls, and make a crazy wager. This year, fortunately, LeBron James is playing on Super Bowl Sunday (don't worry -- he's a Browns fan; he has no clue he's supposed to be watching.)

For the remaining few days until the Super Bowl, I'm going to be gathering prop bet stories from around the blogosphere (and you, if you're interested, so e-mail me if you've got a funny one).

Now that we've covered that, obvious apologies are due for the tardiness of this (because we're actually on Day Five -- coming soon also). But you know how life as a blogger is -- wake up, look at your pants lying crumpled on the bed, laugh at them, play some Sega Genesis, laugh at your pants again, get in your desk chair and start cranking out the snark. Tough.

Now that we've finally waded through the muck (read: the two freaking days when books aren't putting up the prop bets because they're scared of us taking their money), we can get down to business.

And the first business of every Super Bowl betting guide -- the spread and over/under aside -- is the coin flip. Always, always, always take heads. There's nothing really more to say. Just take heads. Probability tells us that there's at least a 50/50 chance of this winning. And those are pretty good odds, my friends.

I know what you're thinking -- there aren't any prop bets hanging out there right now, are there? You're right. It's annoying, especially when you're trying to build a 13 step recovery dereliction program for gambler. In order to find out why the hell this was happening (WHERE. ARE. MY. PROP. BETS???) I emailed the incredibly astute R.J. Bell of Pregame.com to find out what the deal-io was. His answer?

But, like every good addict gambler, I know how to handle things when there's not betting readily available.

Welcome to day one of the Super Bowl Prop Bet 13 Step Program to Gambling Greatness. Catchy title, no? Well, fine -- if not catchy, at least it's short. Anyway, the point being is that as the countdown to the Super Bowl begins, you, the reader, the degenerate, the gambler, need to be prepared to lay down some crazy bets once that magic Sunday rolls around. That's why I'm here.

(Note: you may be better served simply betting against me, given recent history, but that's your own prerogative.)
