Update: Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni was drenched in Lime/Yellow/Green Gatorade late in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl 59 as his eagles brought the game home against the Kansas City Chiefs!
Winning the Super Bowl is the goal of every NFL head coach, and entrance into this elite club of champions is celebrated with the Gatorade bath — a surprise baptism of icy, colored sports drink. Not only has this tradition become a staple of Super Bowl Sunday, but betting on the Gatorade bath color is one of the most popular props available. The current Gatorade color betting favorite is "Purple" and "Yellow/Green/Lime" which are tied at -+120.
Odds will continually update as the Super Bowl inches closer. The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles will square off in this year's Big Game.
Odds for the color of the Gatorade bath at Super Bowl 59
The Gatorade bath color has long been one of the favorite Super Bowl props among bettors. Yellow/green/lime and purple are the Gatorade betting favorites. Here are the Super Bowl odds for the most famous spilled liquid this year in New Orleans.
| Color |  |
|---|---|
| Yellow/Green/Lime | +120 |
| Purple | +120 |
| Blue | +750 |
| Orange | +900 |
| Red/Pink | +1100 |
| Clear/water | +2500 |
| No Gatorade Bath | +5000 |
Gatorade bath odds movement
On Super Bowl Sunday, BetMGM reported that 50% of money was on Yellow/Green/Lime, likely because the Eagles used that flavor to douse Nick Sirianni after the NFC Championship Game and also had that color on the sidelines at Super Bowl 57.
That caused Yellow/Green/Lime to get steamed all the way to -164 by Sunday morning. However, with Purple then sitting at a tantalizing +300, money began pouring in on it, which has since moved both colors to +120.
2025 Gatorade bath color prediction
Early money came in on purple and Yellow/Green/Lime, separating those two colors from the rest of the pack.
That line movement makes plenty of sense with the Chiefs dousing head coach Andy Reid with purple Gatorade in each of the past two years (including when they beat the Eagles at Super Bowl 57) and the Eagles giving Nick Sirianni a yellow bath after the NFC Championship game. The Eagles also had Yellow/Green/Lime Gatorade on the sidelines at Super Bowl 57, and they used that same color to drench then head coach Doug Pederson when they won the title in 2018.
Whether you bet on purple or Yellow/Green/Lime will really come down to which team you think will win. It makes some sense to put half a unit on each side and hope that neither team decides to switch things up.
Rohit Ponnaiya's pick: 0.5 units on Purple (+120), 0.5 units on Yellow/Green/Lime (+120)

Super Bowl Gatorade bath betting explained
The Super Bowl Gatorade bath is a fun Big Game tradition that’s decades old and has sparked one of the most unique exotic prop bets in all of sports, allowing you to bet on the color of the Gatorade bath.
What is the Super Bowl Gatorade bath?
The Gatorade bath — or Gatorade shower as it’s also known — usually comes towards the end of the game when the result is all but official or after the final whistle blows and a Super Bowl winner is crowned.
Players grab a cooler full of Gatorade (or water) and ambush their coach on the sideline with a freezing shower of ice cubes and colorful sports drink. This fun moment contrasts the stressfulness and seriousness head coaches carry into the Super Bowl and kicks off the postgame celebrations.
Super Bowl Gatorade bath prop bets
Gatorade bath bets are among the number of exotic Super Bowl props set for the annual NFL championship game. Unlike most Super Bowl odds, this prop isn’t directly tied to the results on the field and is graded outside of the box score, much like the coin toss, the length of the national anthem, or halftime show props. The Gatorade bath is often captured by the TV broadcast and graded based on that image.
| Color | Number of times it's been used |
|---|---|
| Orange | 5 |
| Blue | 4 |
| Clear | 4 |
| Yellow | 4 |
| Purple | 4 |
| None | 4 |
Most Super Bowl betting sites will offer Gatorade bath props for the Super Bowl, as well as other exotics around the national anthem or halftime show.
However, most state-regulated sportsbooks are not authorized to offer odds on the color of the Gatorade bath, including operators in Nevada, due to the unofficial grading of this prop bet.
That said, New Jersey and Indiana sportsbooks received permission to offer prop betting on the color of the Gatorade bath for the first time for Super Bowl LIV.
How to bet on the Gatorade bath
Along with other Super Bowl odds, it's important to learn how to bet on Super Bowl prop markets. For Gatorade props, sportsbooks set odds on the color of the Super Bowl Gatorade bath, basing those potential returns on trends from past Super Bowls, team colors, and popular colors of Gatorade. The list includes all available colors of Gatorade as well as Water/Clear.
These odds are most often set in moneyline formats, such as Orange +200. This means for every $10 you wager you could win $20 if Orange is the color of the Gatorade bath (a $100 bet would win $200).
The favored team to win the Super Bowl often sees its team colors higher up on the Gatorade bath odds board, due to the fact that it has a higher probability of winning the game and delivering the ceremonial soaking.
Gatorade color prop
Oddsmakers will often set colors associated with the competing Super Bowl teams among the favorite colors for the bath as well as place Water/Clear near the top of the board since they know that every team will always have coolers filled with water on the sideline.
Popular color flavors like Orange, Blue, and Yellow/Green are also often among the shorter odds available. Colors and odds will vary from sportsbook to sportsbook based on the oddsmakers’ opinion and betting handle.
Warning: Don’t slip on fake news
Let us revisit the grape, err great, purple Gatorade prop betting fiasco of 2020. Betting on which color of Gatorade will shower the winning coach is one of the most popular Super Bowl prop bets out there. It is a slippery, yet entertaining slope for bettors to ride. The wager — and color purple — garnered added attention last year, with heavy steam pouring in as a tribute to Kobe Bryant following his tragic death. Orange turned out to be the color of choice, resulting in many bettors taking a proverbial bath due to the outcome.
Super Bowl Gatorade color history
The Gatorade bath began in the 1980s and quickly became one of the most lighthearted moments of Super Bowl Sunday. But it wasn’t until the boom in online sports betting during the late 90s that betting on the color of the Gatorade bath became popular.
Going back to 2001, Orange is the weapon of choice for Super Bowl-winning teams, being used five times as the Gatorade bath, followed by Clear (4), Yellow (4), Blue (3), and Purple (3). Four head coaches have come out bone dry without a Gatorade bath in that time frame.

Gatorade bath betting rules
The Gatorade bath betting rules will depend on the individual book and how it's grading this exotic prop. As some winning coaches are subjected to multiple baths, sportsbooks may stipulate or grade the correct color on the first bath or they may pay out both colors used.
There have been instances in which no bath was given, and some books offer this as a betting option. However, if no Gatorade bath takes place and it wasn’t an option on the odds board, it is up to the book to either grade this prop no action and refund all bets or grade all bets as losers.
As this is a Super Bowl bet that isn’t defined in the box score, the grading and ruling on this prop is subject to whatever the TV broadcast shows or what is captured by photographers.
