Donald Trump is synonymous with YUUUGE business. The most polarizing president in US history is creating headlines in professional sports, pop culture, politics, and mainstream media unlike any man that’s taken the oval office before him. No matter how you might feel about Trump, it’s impossible to ignore the amount of press he’s receiving. Sportsbooks have taken notice and one prominent offshore book is catering to their clientele with a menagerie of POTUS props.
“We are offering more and more political odds now than ever before due to the rise in political betting over the last year. No matter what odds we post related to Trump that market gets a good amount of action,” Dave Mason, marketing director for BetOnline.AG, said.
Mason is no dummy, he’s seen the surge in attention paid to all things “the Donald” and wants to give bettors a chance to have a vested interest in the political landscape. From wagers as straightforward as; “will Trump last the full term,” or “will Donald still be in office on January 1, 2018”, there’s ample opportunities to profit from the political revolution.
“The prop we hung on Will Trump last his full term has already attracted more action than we get on marquee NBA games. It pales in comparison to prime-time NFL but to see a surge in action on novelty props like this means the public is definitely engaged,” Mason added.
Unfortunately for those looking to get down on the political craziness in Vegas that option isn’t available. Nevada sportsbooks are prohibited from taking action on anything in the political realm, at least for now. There’s been talk among the powers that be of presidential odds eventually getting added to the betting menu but that time hasn’t come just yet.
How popular has political wagering become when compared to some of the sports biggest events? There was more money bet and tickets punched on the 2016 election at BetOnline than the college football National championship game. Americans are looking to get their action fix wherever they can and the love/hate relationship with Donald Trump has given them reason to put skin in an unusual game.
If betting on or against Trump isn’t in your wheelhouse there are already odds on who may end up in the oval office come 2020. These unique markets aren’t reserved for just the political junkie but anyone looking to watch the nightly news or monitor POTUS’ twitter timeline for cash.
Below are all the current presidential props available at BetOnline. As always BetOnline’s re-bet functionality applies allowing bettors to fire max bets as many times as they’d like waiting just 61 seconds between placement.
