The Gatorade color bet exemplifies the diverse range of prop bets that have become synonymous with the Super Bowl. Analysts and enthusiasts alike speculate on game-independent events ranging from the National Anthem length to halftime show antics, as Dimers has covered in our guide to betting on novelty props, but the Gatorade shower remains one of the most unpredictable elements.

The uncertainty surrounding the Gatorade color, kept secret until the last moment, adds more to suspense to the game by turning a seemingly random act into a more engaging gambling experience.

The Gatorade Color Prop Market Explained

Betting on the Gatorade bath is simple: you pick the color of the drink that will be splashed over the winning team’s head coach upon conclusion of the game. Options generally include Blue, Purple, Green/Yellow, Orange, Red/Pink, Clear/Water, and None.

The options for “clear/water” and “none” are important, as they mean there will be action on the bet even if there’s no bath or no Gatorade. This removes the possibility of a push and guarantees bets will either win or lose.

This is not a data-backed market. Some common sense certainly comes into play as it would seem like the color of each team’s drink is likely to match one of their team colors, but that hasn’t always been the case as you can see by the historical results below.

Gatorade Bath Color History: Last 15 Super Bowls

For reference, here are the results of the Gatorade bath from the last 15 seasons. We used the last 15 because interestingly enough, there was a five-year stretch of either no bath or clear/water baths prior to Super Bowl XLIII and just two color baths in the previous 20 (!) seasons, so this is more of a recent tradition than it would seem.

Quick Notes

• Blue has been dumped in three of the last five Super Bowls, with two of those teams primarily featuring blue in their colors (Rams, Patriots)
  
  
• Seven times the color has either matched the winning team or been a combo of their two primary colors (Giants – Purple, Chiefs – Orange)
  
  
• We’ve never seen a red bath! Is everyone just drinking all the red juice before the game's over? This year features two teams with predominantly red uniforms...
  
  
• The Chiefs dumped a different color in their two recent wins…who knows what was lurking in the coolers in their Super Bowl LV loss to the Bucs?
  
  
• Also on the Chiefs, the only team to dump purple juice since Super Bowl 46....purple is the favorite color this year, but the 49ers are favored. Very interesting. Or not at all! Who the hell knows

Where To Bet on The Gatorade Color

All the major sportsbooks like  DraftKings, FanDuel and BetMGM should have these markets available, though they may not be accessible right away. Novelty prop betting is also not available in all legalized betting states, so you may not have the option to do so.

Novelty props provide an opportunity for fans to engage in a lighthearted and entertaining form of betting, even if they are not avid sports enthusiasts, but it’s important to know that these are for fun and not meant to be sources of income.
