In a story that’s blowing up online, TikTok creator Caden Booth (@cadenbooth_) turned a clever (and somewhat controversial) strategy into a winning Super Bowl 60 prop bet on the length of the national anthem.
With Super Bowl LX (Super Bowl 60) held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, Booth traveled to the venue days in advance, parked outside, and used a listening device to time the rehearsals—giving him an edge on one of the most popular novelty props.

TikTok User Caden Booth’s Genius Hack: Timing Super Bowl 60 National Anthem Rehearsal for Easy Prop Bet Win
Super Bowl prop bets often include the duration of the national anthem performance, with sportsbooks setting an over/under line (typically around 119.5–120 seconds for recent games). For Super Bowl 60, performer Charlie Puth’s rendition had an over/under of 119.5 seconds.
𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚: This TikToker is being called out for “insider trading” during the Super Bowl after betting on the length of the national anthem.
He stood outside the stadium, timed the rehearsal, then used that information to place and win his bet.

Booth, spotting an opportunity after learning Puth had arrived early for rehearsals, flew to San Francisco and camped out near Levi’s Stadium with a listening device and stopwatch. He captured audio from outside the venue during practice sessions, clocking the anthem at approximately 111 seconds (or about 1 minute 51 seconds) in one key rehearsal—well under the line.
Armed with that intel, Booth placed a heavy (“hammered”) bet on the under (reports vary slightly on the exact line he targeted, with some citing under 117.5 or 117 seconds). When Puth delivered the live performance in just under 110 seconds, Booth cashed in big. He didn’t disclose the exact wager amount or payout, but fans online estimated significant wins based on his confidence.
Booth documented the entire process in a viral TikTok video (posted around February 10, 2026), where he explains:
“I’m camping outside the super bowl stadium with this listening device for the next few days. Cause you can bet on how long the national anthem will be. So i’m gonna try to time them rehearsing it and make money.”
The clip shows him waiting for rehearsals, timing them, and later celebrating the win. As of mid-February 2026, the video has garnered tens of thousands of likes and sparked debates about whether this crosses into “insider trading” territory (though no rules were broken, as rehearsals are audible from public areas).
Social Media Reaction and Total Pro Sports Coverage
The stunt went mega-viral, with reposts across platforms calling Booth a “genius” or questioning the ethics. One fan quipped: “Bro overheard the Super Bowl anthem rehearsal from the parking lot and turned $20 into $10k while the rest of us were busy praying for the coin toss to hit tails 😭.”
Total Pro Sports highlighted the story in their article “Super Bowl “Insider Trading”? Social Media Is Calling Out TikTok User For Using Shady Tactic To Win Massive Prop Bet [VIDEO],” crediting Booth’s TikTok footage and noting the 111-second rehearsal timing that made the bet “easy money.”
Related buzz spread on X (formerly Twitter), including reposts like one from @FearedBuck sharing Booth’s documentation and clips amplifying the “shady tactic” angle.
Is This Legal (and Repeatable)?
While creative, Booth’s approach exploits publicly accessible sound from rehearsals—no trespassing or leaks involved. Sportsbooks don’t prohibit using public info, but some fans argue it gives an unfair edge over casual bettors relying on historical averages (national anthems often hover around 1:55–2:10).
This isn’t the first time prop bet “hackers” have gone viral, but Booth’s execution—complete with video proof—has made it one of the standout stories from Super Bowl 60 week.
Props to Caden Booth for thinking outside the (stadium) box. Will we see copycats at future big games? Drop your thoughts below—would you try this, or is it too much effort for a prop bet? Stay tuned for more wild Super Bowl betting tales!
