What would you bet on? Inauguration snow? First-term impeachment? White House puppy named Joe The Plumber? Step right up and place your bets.
BetUS Sportsbook is taking bets on a multitude of things pertaining to the Obama inauguration as well as what will happen after he takes office.
Betting on American presidential politics - and Obama in particular - has spurred an avalanche of online wagers. Since such gambling is illegal in the U.S., offshore operations handle all the political parlays
How many times will Obama reference God during his inaugural address? (For the record, George Bush mentioned God three times in his last inauguration address; Bill Clinton invoked God once.)
A safe bet would be that Obama does not say God at all. No mention if they will take bets on how often Obama mentions Allah or refer to, “my Muslim faith” as he has in the past.
Other chances to bet on the inauguration:
Will precipitation dampen the inauguration? Odds of snow are listed at 5-4.
Soon you will also be able to wager on the color of Obama's inauguration tie, how many sips of water he takes, and how many times he mentions the word "change,"
Some bets are quite controversial. Just after Obama won the election, Paddy Power (Ireland's biggest bookmaker) posted 12-1 odds that the president-elect would not finish his first term due to impeachment or resignation.
No mention if they are they taking bets on assassination.
