Now that you’ve checked out the conventional betting odds for tonight’s MTV Video Music Awards—we still say the smart money is on Rihanna’s “We Found Love” for best video, and Imagine Dragons’ “It’s Time” for Best Rock Video might be a real value bet at 15/1—it’s time to actually have some fun with our gambling. As we tend to do here at Popdust, we’ve composed a series of Prop Bets for your VMA-viewing accompaniment, to pass out at parties and start your office pools with and such. It should tide the degenerate gambler in you over for the three days until the official NFL kickoff, anyway.
