Bookmakers Take Bets On Trump’s Weight At GA Arrest

The Daily Mail reports:

As the deadline for Donald Trump to surrender for booking in Georgia looms, online sportsbooks are going wild with proposition bets on everything from his tie color to his body weight at booking. One bookmaker site, Antigua-based BetOnline, on Friday offered an over/under of 273.5 pounds for Trump’s weight upon his surrender to authorities in Fulton County, noted gambling news Instagram account TheJuice.

According to BetOnline employee Dave Mason, 77 percent of gamblers have taken the over bet on Trump’s weight so far, spurring the sportsbook to increase the total by eight pounds. That might rankle the former president, who on Thursday lashed out at Fox News, accusing the network of using unflattering photographs that make him look ‘big’ and ‘orange’ with his ‘chin pulled way back’. In 2020, White House physician Sean P. Conley listed Trump as being six-foot-three and weighing 244 pounds on his annual physical.

Read the full article. Bookmakers are also taking bets on whether Trump will smile in his mugshot. Odds are presently 2-11 that he will not. A longshot bet on whether Trump will wear a MAGA hat during his booking stands at 25-1. That’s a sucker’s bet though, because jailers don’t allow headwear for mugshots.

I’ll take the over. Ronny Jackson isn’t running the scale this time. https://t.co/JbiWttChs1
