A few days before the debate, BetUS said that for the prop bet “Will the debate be canceled or postponed,” 42% of bets and 55% of dollars wagered at that point had been on the “yes” option, predicting a cancellation or postponement of the debate (oddsmakers, for their part, disagreed by giving the “yes” option underdog odds at +225).

BetUS said it is taking bets from dozens of countries around the world, and people can bet on how many times Biden will say “folks” or how many times Trump will mention “fake news.”

Only 14% of bettors believe Trump will use his trademark campaign slogan “Make America Great Again” during the debate, while 57% believe Biden will utter his familiar “Here’s the deal.” Bettors are also banking on Hunter Biden, Jan. 6, and Trump’s legal issues seeing the spotlight on Thursday night.

Bettors are also betting on the candidates’ tie colors and patterns, which BetUS says is “a perennial favorite.”
So far, Trump is favored among BetUS bettors to be the first to interrupt the moderator, and he is also currently favored to win the debate.
