Wanna Bet? Odds Reveal Amusing Theories on Trump’s Big Wednesday ‘Announcement’

Donald Trump’s coy announcement that he will be releasing “something very, very big” about President Obama Wednesday at noon has been greeted with the usual round of publicity — some curious, some mocking, some simply dismissive — and yet no one can seem to agree on what it is.

But that’s no reason to eschew profit on it. And as an email from the bookies at Paddy Power obtained by TheBlaze shows, that is precisely what is happening. The Irish betting house has opened up similar betting lines on subjects like who will die in various Harry Potter books, and the options available to would-be profiteers on this question are just as outlandish. The press release follows:

Donald Trump’s claim that he’ll make a game changing announcement on US President Barack Obama by Wednesday has led to Paddy Power, Europe’s largest betting company, to start taking bets on what the Billionaire’s announcement will be.

The most likely announcement according to the Irish betting house is that Trump, a known birther theorist, will tell us that Obama is not American at 2/5 while it’s a far less likely 8/1 for the business man to endorse the Democratic candidate.

Amongst the longshots in the betting it’s 75/1 for the Donald to give the current President honorary membership of Trump International Golf Links, 250/1 for The Apprentice star to claim that he’s an alien and a massive 500/1 for Trump to tell the world that Barack Obama wears a wig!

Féilim Mac An Iomaire, a spokesperson for Paddy Power said “Its no secret that there’s little love lost between these two and it will be interesting to see whether or not Donald’s Trump card on Obama will have an impact on the Presidential race.”

Donald Trump’s Big Announcement
2/5 Obama is not an American
4/1 Trump to ‘Fire an Obama Impersonator’
8/1 Trump to endorse Obama
50/1 Obama to guest on Celebrity Apprentice
75/1 Obama to be given Honorary Membership of Trump International Golf Links
250/1 Obama knows the Moon landing was staged
250/1 Obama to host of the apprentice if Romney takes the White House
250/1 Obama is an Alien
500/1 Trump “I’m your father Obama”
500/1 Obama wears a wig

To be sure, some of these are so absurd as to be hilarious. Nevertheless, if someone is willing to bet that Obama is an alien, it’s a free market.

      Trump needs to lay low until the “big announcement” is revealed. He doesn’t need to die of “natural causes” like Andrew Breitbart did earlier this year. Breitbart who was a normal 43 year old man who mysteriously died the day before he had damaging info on the president. Nothing strange there. I also remember the “chosen people” controlled Marxist Media declared he died of “natural causes” before he even hit the ground. Our Amerikan media would make the old Soviet Pravda jealous in how blatantly lie.

      I would like to know who the ambassador was meeting, on behalf of the president, that day in Bengazhi. Bengazhi is a rebel stronghold. Someone as visible as a US Ambassador is not going to be able to do anything in a rebel stronghold without their approval. The rebels are a coalition of the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Queda, and islamic extremists.

O’Reilly tries this comic line…”you know I am just a simple guy” and people who do not like Bill say “ya-right” and of course Bill does not believe that line either…just likes to see a reaction….but when “The Donald” says….its big..real big…many people do take notice because “The Donald” is very self-assured of “who he is” and he doesn’t need “expensive words” to impress anybody (doesn’t need a tell-all-prompter).

    If it’s sooooooo big, why wait, why not spit it out?

    This tells me it’s no more than a publicity stunt for don.

      I agree with you. Considering that many people are already voting… If he had something REAL of value, I think he wouldn’t wait for days to spill it. I already voted. It won’t count for anything because I live in WA, home of the tree hugging liberal loons, but I did vote.

    He is probably going to come out and say Obama is half black and half white.

    Whatever he is going to come out with remember that Trump is a great self promoter so this will more than likely benefit him in some way and not the election.
