Odds Shark - as of today:

YES: - 300 NO: + 200

https://www.oddsshark.com/entertainment/donald-trump-betting-props

What this means: If you bet he finishes, you must bet $100 to win $300. If you bet he does not finish, you must bet $200 to win $100.

Now... to make this a likely winner for DP.... i'd Bet up to a total of $200 on my side.. (meaning I might lose $300 or might win $100.. all for the benefit of DP) that Trump does not finish, in minimum increments of my $10 to your $5.

Other Conditions: This only works if you bet Trump finishes. The Bet must occur before the end of 2018. We must use this thread to make the Bet. Loser must make the donation within 30 days of Trump not finishing... or Trump finishing. Any donations made prior to the conclusion of the Bet do not count... (some of you, including me, tend to routinely donate exclusive of any bets).

Note: I lost my last DP bet. I made a bet with Bucky that Beto would beat Cruz.... my $25 to Bucky's $50. We know who won that one!

Wanna Bet? What say you?
 
People don't pay up on forum bets and they are not enforced.
 
I’ll bet $50 that Trump finishes his term.

I like this bet because even if I lose...I still win. :)

Accepted. That takes up half of my stakes. Many grins... and a Happy Holidays to you and yours!
 
If Trump does not finish, I expect the transition to more likely occur via resignation or the 25th Amendment, Section IV.

All of these current tremors has to have a serious effect on Trump's confidence: Stock market continuing to tank.. on course for the biggest December decline since 1931; Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan pissing into the wind on Border Wall funding; Pelosi Power on the rise; more investigations and subpoenas coming; results of the Mueller Investigation; fall out on vacating Syria; reality getting into the way of Trump's desire for fealty above legality; chaos inside the White House; a general lack of trust and respect for Trump from those with real power.

A crisis in the coming year would not surprise me!

LOL, I do that when the Patriots are in the Superbowl. I hate the Patriots so I just bet that they'll win. If they win, I win and if they lose I'm happy anyway (unless they don't cover the spread then I'm really unhappy lol)
