Prop bets include player, game, and team props, such as the number of touchdowns scored by a football player in a game or the first team to score a touchdown in a game. Prop bets have recently come under scrutiny, in part due to federal betting investigations involving both current and former members of the NBA. Earlier this month, the NCAA sent a letter to state gambling commissions requesting the elimination of prop bets. Among other things, the legislation would prohibit all proposition bets featuring college and amateur athletes. A 2024 poll conducted by Quinnipiac University found that 67% of Americans think prop betting should not be permitted.
