  • Never before has a president generated so many novelty props from online sportsbooks.
  • Will the infamous “Pee Tape” ever surface? Will his family stick by his side?
  • We analyze the craziest wagers on America’s craziest president. 

Another week, another set of Trump-related props to consider. Is the “Pee Tape” real, and if so, will we ever have the pleasure of watching it? Is Melania going leave Trump 0-3 in the marriage game? And what about his kids: will they stick by his side, as well?

Let’s look at the latest Trump wagers available in the entertainment-betting market and sort out the smart plays.

PROP ODDS
A sex tape of Trump is leaked online in 2018  6/1

There’s the hush money he’s paid to a pornstar. There’s the confidential agreement with a former Playboy model. And then, of course, there’s the alleged “Pee Tape” that the Kremlin may or may not be holding as kompromat. If any president is going to have a sex tape leaked online, it’ll be Trump.

We’re witnessing a White House extremely prone to leaks, and a lot of what’s been said and written is definitely not suitable for children. But a sex tape would take things to a whole new level. Having said that, would anyone really be that surprised if one leaked?

Betting Advice: Avoid. Those 6/1 odds are a little stingy. Trump’s lawyers have done a pretty good job of covering up the shadier parts of his private life, so even if a tape exists, it probably won’t ever see the light of day.

 

PROP ODDS
Melania Trump files for divorce in 2018 6/1

If a sex tape of Trump does surface, it’s safe to assume it won’t include Melania Trump.

From the outside, it doesn’t appear to be the happiest marriage. Melania spent the opening months of the Trump presidency living in New York, and when she appears in public alongside Trump, they never quite seem at ease together. Of course, that’s just my take. For all we know, everything could be hunky-dory.

Betting Advice: Take a chance. Melania probably knew what she was getting into when she married Donald, and his extramarital behavior has been widely covered by the tabloids. But everyone has their limit. If more allegations start popping up (which seems pretty likely), enough may be enough.

 

PROP ODDS
Trump announces that alien life exists 20/1
Trump opens Area 51 to the public during his first term 33/1

I want to believe! 

A fleet of alien UFOs in Area 51? A secret laboratory where the military harbors space creatures? Contact with a superior species capable of time travel and teleportation? Trump has the answers.

Betting Advice: Nah. If alien life had already landed on Earth or communicated with us in anyway, Trump would already be tweeting about it. (“When Mars sends its Space Creatures, they’re not sending their best!” )

 

PROP ODDS
Donald Trump’s approval rating drops below 20% during his first term 3/1

Donald Trump is uniquely unpopular for a sitting President. According to Gallup, his approval rating has never exceeded 50% and seems to have found a home in the high 30s. Will it ever sink below 20%, though?

Harry Truman and Richard Nixon both sank to the low 20s during their presidencies, but no President has ever recorded an approval rating south of 20%. Donald Trump may be extremely unpopular among the general public, but he has a fiercely loyal base. The latest Gallup poll found that 86% of registered Republicans approve of Trump.

Betting Advice: Avoid. For Trump’s approval rating to sink below 20%, he’ll have to lose the support of a majority of Republicans. There’s no reason to believe that’ll happen.
