SOTU Could Prove to Be Among Biggest Nonsporting Gambling Events of 2024
"It's like a mini Super Bowl," revealed Payton O'Brien, Gambling911.com Senior Editor, Thursday morning.
The reference was to Thursday night's President Joe Biden State of the Union gambling.
"Traffic has been brisk," O'Brien observed. "There is definitely a demand for betting on this political event."
Individuals, whether regular gamblers or not, have demonstrated a propensity to bet on all things entertainment, political and other nonsporting related.
In January, wagering on whose names would appear on the infamous Jeff Epstein List drew the most traffic in Gambling911.com's 25 year history, shattering the previous traffic numbers for the Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather fight in 2018.
Longtime readers of the site will recall how American Idol betting became "a thing" during its heyday, at times taking down the Gambling911 server.
"We've cemented ourselves as the go to site for all things entertainment and political wagering," remarked O'Brien.
For better or worse, many of those drawn to Thursday night's SOTU odds are looking to bet on Biden gaffes.
BetOnline is offering a wide range of State of the Union prop bets, which can be seen below and bet on here.
It's possible BOL could add even more props during the day Thursday. How about some odds on Georgia Congresswoman and rabble-rouser Marjorie Taylor Greene seen shouting out and color of her outfit (hint, hint)?
