To cast a little light-hearted humor amid the seriousness of the impeachment trial beginning today, Vegas has created some fun prop bets intertwining the Super Bowl and politics.
The site
SportsBetting.ag created some entertaining props for the Super Bowl ads that will air for President Trump, Michael Bloomberg and Facebook, as well as scenarios surrounding Trump should he attend the game in Miami.
Early betting patterns indicate Trump will not be at the Super Bowl. The odds of him not going were bet down from 5/1 to 2/1, and they are currently off the board due to the uncertainty. This year, the President attended the World Series, a UFC event and two college football games.
Additionally, the oddsmakers have updated their impeachment odds. The chances of Trump being removed from office by the Senate remain long at 25/1. And according to the odds, only one Republican Senator, Mitt Romney, will cross party lines and vote to impeach the President.
