Demi Lovato drew praise Sunday for her rendition of the national anthem at Super Bowl LIV. But the pop artist might have upset a fair amount of bettors.
Lovato appeared to hit the “under” during her performance of the “Star Spangled Banner.” Oddsmakers first pegged the length of Lovato’s performance at jumping from a duration of 1 minute, 56 seconds and then it jumped to 2 minutes, 1 second when 80% of the money was placed on the over, according to BetOnline.
On Sunday, Lovato was roughly timed at 1 minute and 49 seconds.

Terrible start to the night. Demi Lovato couldn’t have held that last note 10 more seconds?
