President Trump Prop and Exotic Bets Offered by Online Sportsbooks
The Trump presidency has been full of negative news that has some people wondering if an impeachment proceeding or resignation might be in the cards. Sportsbooks know a betting opportunity when they see one and have been offering odds on the possibility that President Trump’s time in the White House may get shut short.
There are usually many prop bets at offshore sportsbooks when it comes to the sitting president. Most involve whether he will win reelection. Some may offer off-the-wall bets that ask crazy questions like whether the White House will be painted green to book sucker bets and make some people make wagers on massive favorites that pay no better than a certificate of deposit would over four years.
President Trump’s first four months in office have been so turbulent that unusual bets have hit the boards at some sportsbooks. Paddy Power is the shop with the most insane action on the betting menu.

Many Books Taking Trump Bets Off Boards
The turbulent times have caused many sportsbooks to decide to drop Trump betting odds. Bovada was the last to do so. It moved the “Yes” on Trump not finishing his first term from -130 to the “No” going to -130 in a 24-hour period this week. The U.S.-friendly sportsbook decided to take the bet completely off the board after that move and recent news related to President Trump.
BetOnline and Bookmaker do not have odds posted on Trump’s first term. The same goes for smaller U.S.-facing betting shops that accept wagers from Americans.
Predictit Betting
Predictit is a betting exchange that works much like the stock market. Participants may buy futures at the current market price or put in the price they wish to pay in the hopes of getting the contract filled. Each bet relies on a $100 threshold. A contract worth $25 pays $100 if it wins. It is worth $0 if it does not.
The prices on the bets below have been converted into American odds from that Predictit market price for comparison purposes. The site charges a 10% commission from wins for providing the service.
