Trump Will Not Serve Any Jail Time According to Oddsmakers, Bettors
Former US President Donald Trump is not expected to serve any jail time for any of the current probes, at least not prior to 2025. This is according to the website BetOnline.
Those odds are based on gambling action and an overwhelming number of customers feel Trump will stay free at -2500.
Those odds haven't changed much since an indictment was voted on by a Manhattan grand jury last week.
Trump was arraigned in New York City on Tuesday related to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s hush money payment probe.
The 34 felony counts relate to his alleged role in a scheme that directed hush money payments to two women during the 2016 election.
The former President denied committing crimes and attacked his foes in during a post-court appearance speech at his resident Mar-a-Lago Tuesday evening.
“The only crime I have committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it,” the former president told supporters.
Bragg spoke at a news conference following Trump's appearance.
“Under New York state law, it is a felony to falsify business records with intent to defraud and intent to conceal another crime. That is exactly what this case is about: 34 false statements, made to cover up other crimes,” Bragg said.
“These are felony crimes in New York state, no matter who you are. We cannot and will not normalize serious criminal conduct,” he said.
BetOnline is also offering total odds on the number of indictments brought against Trump. This total includes the Manhattan indictment already filed.
An OVER/UNDER 2.5 has been posted by the popular gambling firm. The OVER is favored at -140. The UNDER pays EVEN odds.
The GOP nomination odds for the 2024 US Presidential race remain unchanged over the past week, even after the indictment vote was revealed and after it was unsealed Tuesday afternoon. Trump is still favored at -120. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is priced at +150.
