Hair raising props available for Donald Trump inauguration



Betting is available on the inauguration of the next U.S. President, Donald Trump.

So, you're not into betting NCAA College Basketball? Maybe waiting for the NBA playoffs or bored by standard NHL hockey lines? Well, Bovada has something truly interesting on their offshore wagering menu for Friday.

How about an assortment of unique wagering props custom-made for "The Donald"? That is, our next President of the United States, Donald J. Trump as he gets sworn into office officially during the big inauguration day on Friday. An assortment of tempting bets that our President himself could only wish he could wager upon. Although that would break the oath on Day One. But no doubt he will likely show up at the Super Bowl to provide his "expert football handicapping advice".

The following are some of the best inauguration props Bovada is offering:

How many times will Donald Trump tweet on Jan. 20th 2017?

Over 7.5    6/5
Under 7.5  5/8

All wagers have action. Tweet count starts from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM on Jan. 20th 2017. Deleted tweets and retweets will not count towards the final count. Bookmanager's decision is final.

I really like the "Under" here. He'll be too busy on this specific noble day to stay up late hammering out any tweets to his enemies. Give him till Sunday night to start banging out his usual angry supply.

Will Donald Trump omit a word of the Presidential Oath?

Donald Trump gambling

Yes   5/2
No    1/4

All wagers have action. Must clearly omit a word or stop mid-sentence for the inaugurator to repeat him/herself while taking the presidential oath for "Yes" to be graded as a win. Bookmanager's decision is final.

Another lock on "No". Am sure he's been practicing and threatening to blame and fire anybody who helps him potentially mess up.

Will Trump say "fake news"?

Yes  9/4
No   2/7
All wagers have action

Length of Donald Trump's speech

Under 10 minutes +600

10 to 14 minutes +450
14 to 18 minutes +300
18 to 22 minutes +150
Over 22 minutes +300

Presidential Inauguration must take place for wagers to have action. Applies to the length of Donald Trump's inauguration acceptance speech. Timing begins on President Trump's first spoken word and ends on his last spoken word. Bookmanager's decision is final.

No upsets here. It's either 18-22 minutes or Over 22. When you retain the world's largest ego you assume the longer you talk, the longer people enjoy.

What color will Donald Trump's tie be?

Blue     3/2
Red     5/2
Yellow/Gold  6/2
Purple  7/1
White/Silver 15/1
Black   20/1
Other Color  5/1

All wagers have action. If multiple colors, predominant color will be used for grading purposes. Bookmanager's decision is final.

I'm betting you initially thought "red tie" here. Again, I like the favorite being "blue" as he knows everyone expects him to wear his traditional red. Whatever, am sure he'd like it put in the Smithsonian as a first act in office. Or strangle Hillary with it.

Which event will garner the most viewers?

AFC Championship Game (PIT@NE)  5/4
NFC Championship Game (GB@ATL) 3/2
2017 US Presidential Inauguration       9/4

Nielsen numbers used for grading. Wagers voided if viewership data is not available by 2018.

Will Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony garner more viewers than that of President Obama's in 2009?

Yes (Over 37.93 million viewers) 10/13
No (Under 37.93 million viewers) 10/11

Nielsen numbers used for grading. Wagers voided if viewership data is not available by 2018.

Must admit, I like "Yes" here. People love a train wreck and like the debates, viewers are going to tune in to see what "might happen". Not an official swearing-in ceremony, but if DJT potentially gets shot, mega protests, etc.

Word count of Donald Trump's speech
Over 2360 Words   5/6
Under 2360 Words 5/6

Presidential Inauguration must take place for wagers to have action. Applies to the total words in Donald Trump's inauguration acceptance speech. Official transcript of the speech will be used for grading purposes. Bookmanager's decision is final.

No official advice here. Just how did the Bovada linemaker come up with exactly 2,360 words? I would assume if his speech lasts longer than 20 minutes, Over is likely a good bet. But surely our next President will remind you he was on the future's list at a juicy 20-1 eighteen months ago, to reach this memorable day. Time will only tell if he becomes the favorite or completely off the board.
