Over the last couple of days, Gambling911.com has witnessed a surge in readership traffic for U.S. government shutdown betting.
This interest comes as House Speaker Mike Johnson's proposed government funding deal was abandoned on Wednesday following opposition from President-elect Donald Trump.
The bill, had it gained approval in both the House and Senate, aimed to prevent a government shutdown as the current funding deadline approaches Friday at midnight.
BetOnline.ag has set odds for whether or not Congress will get a bill passed before January 20, 2025, in order to avoid a government shutdown.
The implied probability for "YES" was set at better than 80% Wednesday December 18 (1/5 odds), but have dropped to 75% Thursday December 19 (1/3 odds).
“Anybody that supports a bill that doesn’t take care of the Democrat quicksand known as the debt ceiling should be primaried and disposed of as quickly as possible,” Trump told Fox News Digital.
Additionally, there are odds for whether or not Johnson will be ousted as SOH next year, and who might replace him if he is removed.
Finally, we can't stop talking about the drones hovering around the country, so there are now betting odds for who is responsible for their operations.
Congress odds are subject to change and will be updated in real-time at BetOnline.
