Last week, public hearings for the impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump got underway. The beleaguered president is under the gun once again. This time it is tied to a previous phone call to the Ukraine. He allegedly used an approved financial military aid package as political clout against Democratic challenger Joe Biden. The hearings will determine the House’s actions in the matter. Betting on the outcome of these hearings is available through prop bet odds at several prominent online sportsbooks.. The odds favor #impeachment at 1/5 with 3/1 betting odds he will not be impeached by Congress.

GVC CEO Kenny Alexander Denounces Plan for Online Slots
Britain lawmakers were successful in getting the maximum bet on fixed-odds #betting terminals (FOBT) lowered to two pounds. That new law took effect early this year.

His company is one of the largest regulated online gaming operators in the world. The recent acquisition of Ladbrokes Coral as Britain’s biggest land-based bookmaker makes GVC the 20th-highest corporate tax payer. Alexander described the plan as “ridiculous”. He also said FOBT’s and online slots are “apples to oranges.”
