One of the more popular novelty props to bet on, the color of the game-winning Gatorade bath color remains a mystery. And yes, you are able to bet on the Gatorade color in select states and countries.

A fun way to bet during the Super Bowl, other novelty props include the coin toss, the length of the U.S. national anthem, Bad Bunny's first halftime show song, and more. A fun yet unserious way to make money, please bet responsibly on these. While there are statistics to back up an option, it's truly random. With that said, a fun bet can impose high risk!

Super Bowl LX will feature a rematch between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots. Now 4.5-point spread favorites, the Seahawks are looking for redemption after their Super Bowl 49 loss to Tom Brady and New England. With an over/under total set for 45.5, oddsmakers aren't predicting a low–scoring affair.

Super Bowl LX: Seattle Seahawks vs. New England Patriots

Who will be doused in Gatorade after winning Super Bowl LX? Will it be Mike Vrabel, who recently won AP Coach of the Year? A former player, Vrabel turned around the franchise after being named the Patriots' newest head coach. Then there's Mike Macdonald, who was named Pete Carroll's successor. Notable for calling his own defensive plays, Macdonald led the Seahawks as the top dogs in the NFC.

Let's take a look at the Gatorade bath color odds and my best prediction for Super Bowl Sunday. With six colors available, which color will be splashed on either Vrabel or Macdonald? Super Bowl LX will take place on Sunday, Feb 8, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

How and Where to Bet on Super Bowl LX Gatorade Bath Color

Betting on the winning Gatorade is only available in select areas. On FanDuel Sportsbook, you can bet on this novelty prop in:

• New Jersey
• Ontario

In addition, this novelty prop is also available on DraftKings Sportsbook (Illinois, New Jersey, Oregon, Maine, West Virginia, Ontario) and BetMGM (Illinois, Louisiana, New Jersey, Wyoming, Ontario, Puerto Rico).

Fun fact, the Seahawks are favored to win the Super Bowl, and Yellow/Lime or Green is the favorite at +230 odds. In most cases, the favored team often has its colors at the top of the odds boards.

Rising in popularity for nearly 40 years, this novelty prop is unavailable in select areas. If it's your first time betting, we will walk you through the process. Select a Gatorade color in which sportsbooks are legal in your area.

From there, this is typically found under the Super Bowl LX or novelty categories. Next, select your choice of Gatorade color and put your preferred bet under "wager."

Most sportsbooks have the option to view the payout first, which helps you determine your wager. In this article, I will break down the color odds and potential payouts.

Gatorade Color Betting Odds: Super Bowl LX (FanDuel)

• Yellow/Lime or Green: +220
• Orange: +300
• Blue: +320
• Purple: +600
• Water/Clear: +900
• Red/Pink: +900

The most popular Gatorade color with the shortest odds is yellow/lime or green, which makes sense since Seattle is favored. At +220 odds, the payout would be $55 for a $25 wager.

Favored next is Orange. At +300 odds, the payout would equate to $75 for a $25 wager. Following is blue at +320 odds—a $25 bet would payout a total of $80.

Coming in fourth with  +600 odds is purple. Here, a $25 wager would pay out $150. Tied for the longest odds at +900, water/clear and red/pink are considered long shots by oddsmakers. A $25 bet would result in $225 in earnings. That's some great value there.

In this case, yellow/lime or Green is the favorite, while water/clear and red/pink are considered high risk, with the potential for high payouts.

There have been four times in NFL history when "none" has occurred. Check your legal sportsbooks for novelty prop rules in your area.

Super Bowl LX Gatorade Color Explained

Betting on the winning Gatorade color is a long tradition for NFL fans who want to have fun and kick their feet up for the big game. What's better than good food, beverages, and fun novelty props to bet on?

The history of dousing Super Bowl-winning coaches dates back to before it became legal to bet on. It's as simple as it sounds—every Super Bowl, players of the winning team splash the head coach with a tub of Gatorade after winning the Super Bowl. A fun, yet entertaining way to celebrate, it's a Super Bowl staple.

Gatorade Bath Color History

The very first Gatorade "shower" or bath dates back to 1986, when Giants head coach Jim Parcells was doused in Gatorade by Jim Burt. It's not what you think—this didn't occur during a Super Bowl, but rather as an act of frustration on Burt's part. Moving forward, it became a popular way to celebrate games, mostly in the NFL and some in the NBA.

Parcells was later drenched in Gatorade after the New York Giants won Super Bowl XXI in 1986. Imagine a fun tradition that all started because of built-up frustration between a player and one of the most notable coaches in NFL history (Bill Parcells)?

Since then, pouring Gatorade on the winning coach has become a Super Bowl ritual.

A popular betting prop in the early 2000s, Ballislife has the complete list of Gatorade colors and Super Bowl winners since 2001.

Gatorade Color Trends & Statistics

Since Super Bowl 35 in 2001, orange has been the most frequent outcome, winning five times. Up next are yellow, purple, blue, and clear—all have won four times. Since 2001, red/pink has never been chosen as a Super Bowl Gatorade color. Will this year be the first?

• Orange: 5 times (20%)
• Yellow: 4 times (16%)
• Purple: 4 times (16%)
• Blue: 4 times (16%)
• Clear: 4 times (16%)
• None: 4 times (16%)
• Red/Pink: 0 times (0%)

As you can see, orange is the most popular over the years, but not by much. There's no question that the Kansas City Chiefs had a strong color repeat with purple, and the Philadelphia Eagles had two yellow color matches in both Super Bowls. Of all colors, Purple holds the longest win streak (2). Given that no color has appeared three times in a row, that will continue this year.

Last Super Bowl, Nick Sirianni and the Eagles were splashed in yellow Gatorade, while Purple got the best of Andy Reid for two consecutive years prior.

Five colors had a 16% win percentage, meaning most have a fair shot leading up to Sunday. That said, there hasn't been a Gatorade color that has topped 20%.

Returning to this topic, is there really a correlation between team colors and Gatorade outcome? The Pittsburgh Steelers (Yellow), Green Bay Packers (orange/gold), New Orleans Saints (orange/gold), Denver Broncos (orange), and Eagles (yellow/green) were all showered with a Gatorade color that somewhat represents their team colors.

The last time this occurred was last year (Super Bowl 59) and Super Bowl 52 in 2018. Ironically, that was when Nick Foles and the Eagles defeated Bill Belichick and the Patriots.

Gatorade Trends Over the Last 10 Super Bowls

• Yellow: 3 times (30%)
• Purple: 2 times (20%)
• Blue: 2 times (20%)
• Orange: 2 times (20%)
• None: 1 time (10%)
• Water/clear: None (0%)

Looking at the last 10 Super Bowls, yellow has been the most popular outcome at 30%. While none and clear have been largely absent, purple, blue, and orange have appeared 20% of the time.

In addition, the only other time the big game was held in Santa Clara was Super Bowl 50. Ironically, the Broncos' victory over the Carolina Panthers awarded them orange Gatorade, their team color.

Trending in the wrong direction is no Gatorade, which has appeared just once in the last 10 Super Bowls.

New England Patriots & Seattle Seahawks Gatorade Trends

Given that the Patriots and Seahawks will highlight Super Bowl LX, let's break down their previous Gatorade colors.

• Super Bowl 36: Patriots win, none
• Super Bowl 38: Patriots win, none
• Super Bowl 39: Patriots win, clear
• Super Bowl 49: Patriots win, blue
• Super Bowl 51: Patriots win, none
• Super Bowl 53: Patriots win, blue

Out of their six Super Bowl wins since 2001, the Patriots have been showered with "none" in three of them. In two of them, Belichick was splashed with blue Gatorade, their team color. Over that span, none had a 50% outcome, and blue 33%.

• Super Bowl 48: Seahawks win, orange
• Super Bowl 49: Patriots vs. Seahawks, blue

The Seahawks have won just once over the last 10 years, and Pete Carroll was splashed with orange Gatorade in Seattle's 43-8 victory over Denver.

As noted previously, the Patriots and Seahawks met in Super Bowl 49, where Russell Wilson notably threw a costly interception at the one-yard line. After defeating the Seahawks, the Gatorade color was blue.

Final Super Bowl LX Gatorade Color Betting Pick & Prediction

As mentioned in my previous articles, betting on novelty props is meant to be fun and not taken seriously.  While I've provided all the history, statistics, and latest trends, it's a toss-up which winning coach will be splashed in a Gatorade bath.

• I'm going with Orange for +300 odds. I'm fading Yellow/Lime or Green here, given that it was the color last year. The last time orange was the pick was Super Bowl 54 with the Chiefs, and I'm additionally fading any associated team colors. Orange has appeared just two times over the last 10 Super Bowls, but 16% since 2001. It has incredible value, so let's go orange!
