But I couldn’t help but get my chuckle when I saw the odds that were set at SportsBettingDime.com on various aspects of the political event. Which apparently is evidence that some people are pathetic enough to place bets on anything.
EVEN
THE COLOR of Trump’s tie (9/5 it’s red) or Hillary’s pantsuit (3/1 it’s blue)!
For
the record, the odds are 2/1 that Trump will find something to complain about
either during or after the debate with regards to the conduct of NBC News
Lester Holt. Yes, the one-time Channel 2 news anchor is going to be moderating
the Monday night spectacle.
A
solid-enough performance could wind up giving Holt a national rep, and perhaps
eliminate all the jokes that get told about people who do jury duty in Cook County
and wind up having to watch that explanatory video about the process that Holt
narrated some 30 years ago. Of course, one lone gaffe could result in Holt taking the heat from those people determined to believe that the world is conspiring against their beloved Donald Trump and his dreams of being able to tell Congress "You're Fired!' in all his blowhard glory.
By
the way, the odds are 1 in 4 that Holt finds something to fact-check about
Trump, compared to 4/1 he’ll find something to nit-pick about Clinton.
AND
YES, THE odds are 9/1 that a Trump supporter will do something stupid that
disrupts the event.
Anyway, check out the odds for yourself, particularly the 1/1 chance (a real sure thing) that someone feels compelled to bring up Colin Kaepernick of the San Francisco 49ers and his race-motivated protest against the National Anthem as part of sports events, at some time during the debate.
Certainly
better than the odds the Chicago Bears can do anything successful when they
travel to play the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday – other than ogle the famed
cheerleaders while losing yet another game.
