Do you hear that?  There is no sound. It's not working. The United States Government has officially shut down.

Some might say the government hasn't been working for quite some time, but that's another discussion for another day.

Today, we're focusing on WHEN the U.S. government might return to a fully functional entity. Not a partial shutdown, but full-blown, back-to-work status. 

BetOnline.ag has set odds for a couple of end-of-shutdown dates, which you can find below. 

The numbers suggest the shutdown will roll into the third week of October, but end before November 1.

Will govt. shutdown end before October 10, 2025?

Yes +150

No -200

(Note: Odds imply a 40% probability shutdown will end before 10/10/25)

Will govt. shutdown end before November 1, 2025?

Yes -400

No +250

(Note: Odds imply an 80% probability shutdown will end before 11/1/25)
