well if birmin is right and there is no option to take the other side, then it's basically just another bet for bookies to profit from. they can even offer 10000000:1 who cares what are the odds, we're basically talking about a done deal, no need to be so paranoid and offer only 10:1 odds. man it's so tough to take this trump president reality for many americanos...

If there is an opportunity to make money, the bookmakers will find it. I dont think that 10/1 is offering anywhere near value but, after such a crazy year, it wouldnt surprise me at all

Indeed. Now what are the chances of not becoming president? Practically zero. But yet there are the ones that will gamble their money since the odds are pretty high on this one. You need to be degenerate to be in this one

In August 2016, these bookmakers were offering approximately 10 to 1 odds that Donald Trump would not be the Republican presidential nominee for the 2016 presidential election. I read an article somewhere that based on history, Donald Trump would have more than 1 in 4 odds of being the victim of an assassination or assassination attempt during his presidency. I pray for the safety of Trump and his extended family.

So. If you were a bookmaker, wouldn't you be taking bets on such an event at such odds? I think I would be as it's fairly safe money that they are making by taking it from people who have nothing better to waste their money on. The story has a long way to run just yet and the outcome will be another interesting chapter of US political history!

yes exactly as damosk stated- for any bookie this is a dream bet to take on at 10:1 odds, i guess it would be a dream bet to take on even up to 1000:1 odds to be fair, maybe even more since the chance for him not becoming president is more theoretical than anything real.

You will be better of shorting the dollar on the day of the actual inauguration.

Donald Trump is a really interesting president, very funny and has great hair style, at the same time he us a good businessman so he can use this in his time when he is president, I think he will be a good president and people will remember him for a long time.
I did bet 4$ on Trump and he made me win a huge 3.75$! I bet that his speech would last less than 20 minutes. Lol
Gerimantas --> I also think he looks funny but he could be smarter than he looks even if he acts like a douche bag. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Just because he's not the usual over politically correct kind of politician doesn't mean he will be a bad president
Good luck with your bets mobsters
