The long-awaited sequel to the 1984 mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap will debut in theaters nationwide on September 12, 2025. The power trio is back together for this follow-up, including Christopher Guest as lead guitarist Nigel Tufnel, Michael McKean as lead vocalist and guitarist David St. Hubbins, and Harry Shearer as bassist Derek Smalls.
Rob Reiner also returns as director Marty Di Bergi. In anticipation of the film, entertainment sportsbook sites have created a series of prop bets for potential occurrences throughout the running time.
Have you ever wanted to bet on sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll? The following three entertainment prop bets ask gamblers to weigh in on whether the words “drugs,” “rock,” or “sex” will be mentioned during Spinal Tap 2.
Mentions Of The Word “Drugs”
- Over 3.5 -120
- Under 3.5 -120
Mentions Of The Word “Rock”
- Over 10.5 -120
- Under 10.5 -120
Mentions Of The Word “Sex”
- Over 3.5 -120
- Under 3.5 -120
The over/under for “rock” is set at 10.5 mentions, suggesting that it will definitely be stated at least once. The line for “sex” and “drugs” is set at 3.5 mentions. All of the above options feature negative moneylines, so gamblers will need to risk more than they can potentially win in all cases.
Will A Character Say “Getting” Or “Putting The Band Back Together”?
- Yes -500
Since it has been 40 years since the previous film, there’s no real certainty surrounding the band’s activities during the interim. Did Spinal Tap split up following their glorious reformation with Nigel at the end of part 1?
The above prop implies that someone will mention “getting the band back together,” so perhaps a break-up did occur at some point.
Will A Flying V Guitar Be Visually Displayed?
- Yes -500
- No +300
Guitarist Nigel Tufnel played a Gibson Flying V in the first film, but will he shred on one during the sequel? The above odds suggest yes, but be careful because Nigel has a massive guitar collection that he loves to show off on stage.
Will Stonehenge Be Visually Portrayed?
- Yes +100
“Stonehenge! Where the demons dwell. Where the banshees live, and they do live well”
Spinal Tap – Stonehenge
One of Tap’s greatest hits of all time is Stonehenge. Even money is being offered on the song being played during the movie, but it could be a risky bet because the band could be focusing on new material.
Will A Character Mention The Word “Perspective”
- Yes +150
With so many years between films, there’s no doubt that the characters will look back upon their respective careers and offer comments. If anyone mentions the word “perspective,” the moneyline odds of +150 will deliver 1.5-to-1 payouts to anyone who wagers on the prospect.
