Freaky Friday: Alien Invasion Odds, Trump Speaker Odds, And More

Lately, political bettors have had more to wager on than ever.

Even in an election off-year, the best online election betting sites have kept the boards lively. You can wager on international politics, US Senate races, indictment odds, and a host of other interesting lines.

The most intriguing such development, politically, is that you can now place bets on whether or not “former” President Donald Trump will run for a US House or Senate seat in 2022.

BetOnline Sportsbook puts those Trump odds at -1500 on “No” and +600 on “Yes,” indicating that Congress might be too small potatoes for The Donald.

Of course, many analysts think it’d be a shrewd move, particularly re the House of Representatives.

If Trump were to win a Congressional seat in the lower chamber (which should be an electoral cakewalk depending on the district he chooses to represent), he could then make a play to be elected as Speaker of the House.

The odds aren’t particularly favorable for that contingency right now (No -2000, Yes +700), but the payout is attractive if it actually happens.

Of course, to be elected Speaker, Trump would first have to win a seat in the House and the GOP would have to take back the House.

The latter scenario is much more likely in a vacuum, as the Republicans are favored to retake the majority in the next election (-225).

But outside of direct political betting lines, the most entertaining and tantalizing props offered at BetOnline are their new alien invasion odds.

With Biden in office, now would be a good time for aliens to attack the United States. Tactically, that’s the best play for the little green men.

Of course, if they’re aware of the Second Amendment, they might rethink that plan. “Behind every blade of grass” and so on.
