Betting Site Gives Donald Trump Odds of Impeachment 4-1 Within Six Months
- A Donald Trump impeachment within his first six months in office pays US$40 for every US$10 bet
- Trump not finishing his term beyond the six month period had odds of 7/4
- ”Golden shower” video release odds at 5-1
Ireland-based Paddy Power has updated its impeachment odds on newly elected US President Donald Trump.
Paddy Power was offering 4/1 odds on Trump being impeached within his first six months in office. The payout would be US$40 for every US$10 bet. Those who believe he will not be impeached within the first six months could still win US$10 for every US$40 wagered (the $40 will be refunded should this bet be a winner with gamblers realizing a $10 profit).
The world’s largest online betting site was also giving Trump’s chances of finishing his four-year term at short 7/4 odds.
Last week various media outlets reported on a dossier, compiled by a person who has claimed to be a former British intelligence official, that claims the President-Elect engaged in kinky sex acts with prostitutes while in Russia. More specifically the unverified reports alluded to these prostitutes urinating on a bed the current US President, Barack Obama, and his wife Michelle once slept in. Paddy Power has released odds on the so-called “golden shower” incident leaking onto RedTube at relatively short 5-1 odds. The President-Elect and his staff have vehemently denied the incident ever took place.
“It’s so ridiculous on so many levels,” Trump attorney, Michael Cohen, stated. “Clearly, the person who created this did so from their imagination or did so hoping that the liberal media would run with this fake story for whatever rationale they might have.”
Cohen himself was mentioned in the dossier as having traveled to Prague, Czech Republic. It has since been verified that Cohen was in the United States during the dates mentioned in the document.
Trump is due to be inaugurated this Friday January 20. His win cost the Paddy Power website $4.5 million.
