When we put up the 49ers and Chargers in the 1994 Super Bowl, we put up 'Who would score more points on Super Bowl Sunday - Michael Jordan or the 49ers?' and that was like the first cross-sports prop, where we took other events that were happening and connected it to something that could happen in the Super Bowl. Bettors wait in line to place Super Bowl prop bets on the first night they are released on the board at the Westgate SuperBook on Thursday, Feb. Back in those days they probably only had like one page of props and they were really basic.
