										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Entering the final seven days of the 2024 presidential election cycle, Trump holds a sizable lead in the odds to win. With early voting already well underway across most of the nation, a large segment of Americans have likely already decided which candidate they&#8217;ll be filling in the bubble next to.</p>
<p>Trump had been polling well among Latinos in the United States, but a few racially charged jokes issued by a comedian at a rally last Sunday have cast a negative light on his campaign.</p>
<p>The comedian known as Kill Tony (Tony Hinchcliffe) performed at Trump&#8217;s rally in Madison Square Garden. His material is often edgy, evidenced by his shots fired during the Tom Brady roast last May on Netflix.</p>
<p>Hinchcliffe laid into Puerto Rico during his time at the podium, calling it a &#8220;floating island of garbage.&#8221; His routine contained other digs at various groups of minorities, but the ones directed at PR have received the most attention in the hours that followed.</p>
<p>There has even been division within the Republican Party, with US Senators from Florida, Rick Scott and Marco Rubio, issuing official statements condemning the remarks made against Puerto Rico.</p>
<p>A large contingency of Puerto Ricans live in Pennsylvania, and there is concern from Trump&#8217;s campaign that the negative attention he&#8217;s getting could affect the results next Tuesday.</p>
<p>The odds for <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/politics/">betting on the 2024 election</a> predict a Trump win in PA, but there&#8217;s still time for Harris to close before next Tuesday.</p>
<p><strong>Pennsylvania (PA)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #3366ff;">Democrat +120</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #ff0000;">Republican -160</span></li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/reviews/">Online sportsbooks</a> have also broken down the odds on a county-by-county basis. This is unusual but can happen when a state is suddenly granted national importance, as occurred during the Georgia runoff elections in 2022.</p>
<p><strong>PA County Election Odds</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #3366ff;">Allegheny County: Harris Victory Margin: Over 21.5 % -120, Under 21.5 % -120</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #ff0000;">Berks County: Trump Victory Margin: Over 10.5 % -120, Under 10.5 % -120</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #3366ff;">Bucks County: Harris Victory Margin: Over 3.5 % -120, Under 3.5 % -120</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #ff0000;">Butler County: Trump Victory Margin: Over 36.5 % -120, Under 36.5 % -120</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #3366ff;">Centre County: Harris Victory Margin: Over 4.5 % -120, Under 4.5 % -120</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #3366ff;">Chester County: Harris Victory Margin: Over 11.5 % -120, Under 11.5 % -120</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #ff0000;">Cumberland County: Trump Victory Margin: Over 11.5 % -120, Under 11.5 % -120</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #3366ff;">Delaware County: Harris Victory Margin: Over 25.5 % -120, Under 25.5 % -120</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #3366ff;">Erie County: Popular Vote Winner: Kamala Harris -140, Donald Trump +100</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #3366ff;">Lackawanna County: Popular Vote Winner: Kamala Harris -140, Donald Trump +100</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #ff0000;">Lancaster County: Trump Victory Margin: Over 17.5 % -120, Under 17.5 % -120</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #3366ff;">Lehigh County: Harris Victory Margin: Over 6.5 % -120, Under 6.5 % -120</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #3366ff;">Monroe County: Popular Vote Winner: Kamala Harris -160, Donald Trump +120</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #3366ff;">Montgomery County: Harris Victory Margin: Over 27.5 % -120, Under 27.5 % -120</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #ff0000;">Northampton County: Popular Vote Winner: Donald Trump -180, Kamala Harris +140</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #3366ff;">Philadelphia: Harris Victory Margin: Over 62.5 % -120, Under 62.5 % -120</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #ff0000;">Washington County: Trump Victory Margin: Over 26.5 % -120, Under 26.5 % -120</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #ff0000;">Westmoreland County: Trump Victory Margin: Over 29.5 % -120, Under 29.5 % -120</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #ff0000;">York County: Trump Victory Margin: Over 28.5 % -120, Under 28.5 % -120</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Unfortunately, there are no odds posted at the moment for Dauphin County, where Harrisburg is located. The region has been mostly Democrat but did side with Trump back in 2016.</p>
<p>With Pittsburgh (Allegheny County), Philadelphia (Philadelphia County), and Allentown (Lehigh County) expected to remain loyal to the DNC and side with Kamala Harris, constituents in Dauphin County could decide where the state&#8217;s 19 electoral college votes go.</p>
<p>Political prop bets suggest that PA is the most likely tipping point state on election night.</p>
<p><strong>Tipping Point State</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pennsylvania +200</strong></li>
<li>Michigan +400</li>
<li>Wisconsin +550</li>
<li>North Carolina +650</li>
<li>Georgia +800</li>
<li>Arizona +1400</li>
<li>Nevada +2500</li>
<li>Florida +2500</li>
<li>Texas +5000</li>
<li>Minnesota +5000</li>
<li>New Mexico +5000</li>
<li>New Hampshire +5000</li>
</ul>
<p>The odds for betting on <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/states/pa/">Pennsylvania</a> to be the state that delivers the presidency in 2024 are paying out at 2-to-1.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>President Joe Biden has suspended his 2024 campaign for reelection and officially endorsed his VP, Kamala Harris, to become the Democratic Party&#8217;s nominee.</p>
<p>This move comes after weeks of top DNC members requesting that Biden step down due to his poor performance in the presidential debate against Trump and his overall lack of cognitive abilities.</p>
<p>Following Biden&#8217;s announcement and Harris&#8217; rise to national prominence, poll results have revealed that Trump&#8217;s lead has lessened considerably. 5% of Trump supporters declared loyalty to Harris after she became the presumptive nominee.</p>
<p>Only 3% of Biden&#8217;s supporters jumped ship to Trump&#8217;s camp when Harris took the helm.</p>
<p>The election odds at <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/politics/">18-friendly political betting sites</a> have also narrowed a great deal now that Biden has exited the race.</p>
<h3>Odds to Win the 2024 US Presidential Election</h3>
<ul>
<li>Donald Trump Sr. -160</li>
<li>Kamala Harris +140</li>
</ul>
<p>Joe Biden&#8217;s odds to win had dipped below +500 following the debate in June, with Trump holding a sure-fire -300 or higher moneyline. That&#8217;s no longer the case, as Harris debuted at +200 and has risen 60 points in just a few days&#8217; time.</p>
<p>Her momentum is building following a strong endorsement from the Obamas.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Kamala has more than a resume. She has the vision, the character, and the strength that this critical moment demands. There is no doubt in our mind that Kamala Harris has exactly what it takes to win this election and deliver for the American people.”</p>
<p>A Statement Issued By The Barack And Michelle Obama</p></blockquote>
<p>There is still a chance that another DNC nominee could challenge for the bid, but Harris already appears to have the requisite delegates locked up. Sure, there are plenty of presidential hopefuls on the left, but the DNC is poised to let Harris have her go at Trump in 2024 and hold out for 2028.</p>
<p>Harris has momentum on her side that would be difficult for another candidate to derail at this point, but she is also the only nominee who can potentially recover from a loss.</p>
<p>Gavin Newsom is in no hurry to lose to Trump, and nor should he be. His campaign would be much better served by a fresh, lossless onset for the 2028 presidency.</p>
<h3>Democratic Nominee</h3>
<ul>
<li>Kamala Harris -5000</li>
<li>Any Other Candidate +1200</li>
</ul>
<p>Harris has not indicated who she will choose as her running mate, but <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/reviews/">online sportsbooks</a> have jumped the gun and offered the following list of potentials.</p>
<h3>Democrat Vice President Nominee</h3>
<ul>
<li>Mark Kelly +120</li>
<li>Josh Shapiro +275</li>
<li>Roy Cooper +600</li>
<li>Pete Buttigieg +1200</li>
<li>Andy Beshear +1200</li>
<li>Tim Walz +1200</li>
<li>Gretchen Whitmer +5000</li>
</ul>
<p>Leading the way is US Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona. His odds are just above even at +120, putting him 155 points ahead of Governor Josh Shapiro from <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/states/pa/">Pennsylvania</a>.</p>
<p>With Harris attempting to become the first female POTUS, it is doubtful that she will select a non-male VP, which is why her buddy Gretchen Whitmer is rated so low.</p>
<p>If Harris selects Shapiro, it will be the first all-African-American ticket to secure a presidential nomination.</p>

<li>The First 2024 Presidential Debate Airs On CNN On June 27th At 8 PM</li>
<li>The Debate Will Last 90 Minutes With Two Commercial Breaks</li>
<li>Both Trump And Biden Are Favored In The First Debate Odds</li>
</ul>
<p>On June 27th, CNN will host the first Presidential Debate of the 2024 election. This unprecedented time in political history will certainly result in enormous viewership, as Trump is coming off of 34 guilty convictions for financial tampering in New York.</p>
<p>Both candidates&#8217; acceptance of CNN&#8217;s terms has prompted a flurry of debate prop bets &#8211; way too many to list here. Below, we cover the meat and potatoes of what&#8217;s posted currently.</p>
<h2>Who Will Win The First Debate: Biden Or Trump?</h2>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">I’ve received and accepted an invitation from <a href="https://twitter.com/CNN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CNN</a> for a debate on June 27th. Over to you, Donald. As you said: anywhere, any time, any place.</p>
<p>— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1790747680173363660?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 15, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Many of the <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/politics/">18-friendly political betting sites</a> that we&#8217;re members with have created lines for the winner of the first debate. A grade for a win will be awarded by the results of a post-debate CNN poll.</p>
<p><strong>CNN June Debate Odds To Win</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Joe Biden -160</li>
<li>Donald Trump +120</li>
<li><em>Bovada</em></li>
</ul>
<p>One of our top books, Bovada LV, has Biden favored to come out on top and ahead of Trump by 80 points. The next two <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/entertainment/">entertainment gambling sites</a>, BetOnline AG and BetUS, have Trump favored to win by 20 points, with both candidates listed below even.</p>
<p><strong>CNN Presidential Debate Winner</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Donald Trump -130</li>
<li>Joe Biden -110</li>
<li><em>BetOnline</em></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>CNN PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE: WINNER</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Donald Trump Sr. -130</li>
<li>Joe Biden -110</li>
<li><em>BetUS</em></li>
</ul>
<p>BetUS has also created a political prop bet for who will win in a FOX News poll. Naturally, Trump is ahead, but what&#8217;s surprising is that his lead is so narrow.</p>
<p><strong>Who Will Be Declared The Winner By FOX News Poll?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Joe Biden +110</li>
<li>Donald Trump -150</li>
<li><em>BetUS</em></li>
</ul>
<h2>What Will Trump And Biden Say?</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/reviews/">The best-reviewed 18+ sportsbooks</a> are taking action on Biden and Trump catchphrases. The next two props are over/under lines that imply Trump will say &#8220;stolen&#8221; or &#8220;rigged&#8221; 9 or fewer times, and Biden will say &#8220;here&#8217;s the deal&#8221; at least once.</p>
<p><strong>The Number Of Times Trump Says Stolen Or Rigged?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Over 9.5 +175</li>
<li>Under 9.5 -240</li>
<li><em>Bovada</em></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Will Joe Biden Use The Phrase &#8220;Here&#8217;s The Deal&#8221;?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Yes -240</li>
<li>No +160</li>
<li><em>BetUS</em></li>
</ul>
<p>Each candidate&#8217;s microphone will be muted while they are not recognized to speak, but interruptions are still possible because there&#8217;ll be no studio audience in attendance. The Trump odds of interrupting first are favorable, so look for him to yell over the muted mic first.</p>
<p><strong>Who Will Interrupt First?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Joe Biden +105</li>
<li>Donald Trump -145</li>
<li><em>BetUS</em></li>
</ul>
<h2>Will Any Other Candidates Join The Debate?</h2>
<p>The only other 2024 Presidential Candidate within sniffing distance of a podium is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. He is on the ballot in a few states as an independent candidate that would be worth 89 electoral college votes if he won them all.</p>
<p>Qualification for the debate stage requires being on the ballot in enough states to tally 270 electoral college votes, the amount required to secure the Oval Office.</p>
<p><strong>Will Robert F Kennedy, Jr Qualify And Participate?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Yes +1200</li>
<li>No -6600</li>
<li><em>Bovada</em></li>
</ul>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The political spectrum in the United States continues to venture further into uncharted waters as former US President Donald Trump has been found guilty of 34 felony counts in his hush money coverup trial. There <a class="mh-excerpt-more" href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/news/trump-still-leads-2024-presidential-odds-following-guilty-verdict/" title="Trump Still Leads 2024 Presidential Odds Following Guilty Verdict">[...]</a></p>
The post <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/news/trump-still-leads-2024-presidential-odds-following-guilty-verdict/">Trump Still Leads 2024 Presidential Odds Following Guilty Verdict</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com">Sports Betting 18</a>.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The political spectrum in the United States continues to venture further into uncharted waters as former US President Donald Trump has been found guilty of 34 felony counts in his hush money coverup trial.</p>
<p>There are odds on the boards at <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/politics/">political betting sites</a> regarding what his sentencing will entail, and the leading contenders are probation and a fine. The sentencing will occur on July 11th, but Trump is expected to appeal no matter what punishment is issued.</p>
<h2>Can Trump Still Run For President?</h2>
<p>What these 34 guilty felony counts do not carry with them is an expulsion from qualification for Presidential candidacy. Anyone who is a natural-born citizen of the United States, 35 years of age or older, and has been a resident for at least 14 years can become the POTUS, regardless of any criminal background.</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s candidacy has been challenged in a few states, and the US Supreme Court ruled that he was eligible to run despite any evidence produced suggesting his treasonal involvement in the January 6, 2021, invasion of the US Capitol Building.</p>
<p>These charges in <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/states/ny/">New York</a> have the potential for other Republicans to crank up their campaign&#8217;s engines at least, but for now, Donald still leads the odds to become the next President of the United States when all votes are tallied this November.</p>
<h3>US Presidential Election Odds To Win</h3>
<ul>
<li>Donald Trump Sr. -115</li>
<li>Joe Biden +125</li>
</ul>
<h2>Will Trump Go To Jail?</h2>
<p>There is a slim possibility that Donald will be sentenced to jail time, but <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/entertainment/">entertainment gambling sites for 18 and up</a> do not project his incarceration prior to November 5th.</p>
<h3>Will Trump Be Imprisoned Before The Election?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Yes +275</li>
<li>No -400</li>
</ul>
<p>This political prop bet requires that Trump be placed behind bars for at least 24 hours for wagers on &#8220;yes&#8221; to be considered a win. Since he was not required to post bond until his sentencing hearing on July 11th, it is doubtful that any jail time will result from his charges.</p>
<h2>What&#8217;s Next For Trump?</h2>
<p>The former President still has a few legal battles on his agenda, but none of his remaining trials are expected to begin before November. If the Trump campaign is to take a positive from the last 48 hours, the odds for his remaining three trials are now granting him better than a 50-50 chance of being found innocent.</p>

<p>Trump is expected to be announced as the 2024 Republican Nominee at the GOP National Convention on July 18th, which comes just after his sentencing. It remains to be seen how this will impact his election chances, but the polling data remains strongly in favor of Trump over Biden.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>President Joe Biden&#8217;s State of the Union Address is his opportunity to fire the first shot in the battle between him and Donald Trump for the Oval Office. Now that Nikki Haley has suspended her campaign, Trump is a lock to secure the 2024 Republican Party&#8217;s nomination, and tonight&#8217;s address may be Biden&#8217;s chance to get a leg up.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/politics/">18-friendly political sporstbook sites</a> have created props for the SOTU, with questions ranging from total viewership to mentions of &#8220;cognitive ability.&#8221; A majority of the options presented in the Biden betting lines possess odds that will reward gamblers with exponential payouts, even though many of them seem like subjects that have been on his mind as of late.</p>
<h3>State of the Union Prop Bets</h3>
<p>Online gamblers aged 18 and up can bet State of the Union odds at most of the sportsbooks we recommend. That speaks to the broad scope of what political betting sites will offer.</p>
<p>In fact, election gambling used to be included in the <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/entertainment/">entertainment betting</a> category just a few years ago, but now commands its own section due to the explosion in popularity that&#8217;s occurred since Trump entered the political spectrum.</p>
<p>Just like game lines for pro and college sports, State of the Union betting features over/unders where wagers can be placed on either side of a total. For instance, here are two sets of State of the Union betting odds that project the total length of the SOTU and how many people will watch.</p>
<h4>Length Of Biden&#8217;s March 2024 State Of The Union Address</h4>
<ul>
<li>Over 65 Minutes -115</li>
<li>65 Minutes Or Under -115</li>
</ul>
<h4>How Many People Will Watch Biden&#8217;s State Of The Union Address?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Over 35 Million -115</li>
<li>Under 35 Million -115</li>
</ul>
<p>What&#8217;s sad is that viewership is projected to be less than half of the amount of total votes that were cast for Biden in 2020. 65 minutes would be 8 fewer than Biden spoke during his 2023 address, so we like the over here considering the weight of this particular SOTU.</p>
<h4>Biden Props For State Of The Union Mentions</h4>
<ul>
<li>Israel -1500</li>
<li>Palestine -1000</li>
<li>Border -200</li>
<li>Build The Economy From The Bottom Up And The Middle Out -200</li>
<li>God -200</li>
<li>Dreamers -150</li>
<li>Insulin -150</li>
<li>Advance Liberty And Justice +300</li>
<li>Attack On Democracy +300</li>
<li>Reach Across Party Lines +400</li>
<li>Threat To Democracy +700</li>
<li>Triumph Over Tyranny +800</li>
<li>Denver Nuggets +1000</li>
<li>Kansas City Chiefs +1000</li>
<li>Texas Rangers +1000</li>
<li>Let&#8217;s Do This +1500</li>
<li>Chinese Proverb +5000</li>
<li>Too Bad Nikki +5000</li>
<li>I Offer My Resignation +8000</li>
</ul>
<p>This Biden State of the Union prop offers a free-for-all of conclusions where all options are not mutually exclusive. Translation &#8211; multiple outcomes can win, and judging by the odds, Israel, Palestin, the border with Mexico, and the economy will garner specific mentions.</p>
<p>Dreamers, insulen, and God are also holding favoring odds for a Biden mention. 80-to-1 odds are being offered for a Biden resignation.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The second Republican Presidential Candidate debate goes down tonight at Simi Valley&#8217;s Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, but the top GOP contender will not be on stage to state his case.</p>
<p>Instead, Donald Trump will make a speech in Detroit, Michigan, where an auto workers&#8217; strike is in progress. While he is busy attempting to secure the votes of auto workers&#8217; union members, seven GOP potentials will take to the stage to debate on the Fox Business Network tonight at 9:00 p.m.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/politics/">Election betting sites</a> have created GOP debate odds that give an idea of how the event will proceed. Two of the top online sports betting sites for 18 and over gamblers have created similar sets of odds that allow players to shop for the most potential cash winnings. Here&#8217;s an example.</p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="312"><strong>Second GOP Debate Winner (Bovada)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Vivek Ramaswamy +160</li>
<li>Ron DeSantis +180</li>
<li>Nikki Haley +200</li>
<li>Mike Pence +1200</li>
<li>Tim Scott +1500</li>
<li>Chris Christie +2000</li>
</ul>
</td>
<td width="312"><strong>CA Republican Debate Winner (BetUS)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Vivek Ramaswamy +150</li>
<li>Ron DeSantis +200</li>
<li>Nikki Haley +200</li>
<li>Tim Scott +1200</li>
<li>Mike Pence +1400</li>
<li>Chris Christie +2500</li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>In both political prop bets, Vivek Ramaswamy is predicted to be the winner, which will be determined by a post-debate poll conducted by ABC News. However, if you intend to bet on Ramaswamy to win the second debate, one sportsbook will pay out more than the other.</p>
<p>Ramaswamy&#8217;s odds are set at +160 at Bovada, which will deliver $1.60 in profit on the dollar. This is $0.10 on the dollar more than what&#8217;s being offered at BetUS.</p>
<p>Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is garnering a +180 moneyline at Bovada, but in this case, BetUS is offering a bigger payout if he ends up winning. If you don&#8217;t check the odds at each of our top <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/entertainment/">entertainment sportsbooks</a>, you could be limiting your earning potential.</p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="312"><strong>Most Speaking Time (Bovada)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Vivek Ramaswamy +250</li>
<li>Mike Pence +300</li>
<li>Ron DeSantis +300</li>
<li>Chris Christie +350</li>
<li>Nikki Haley +350</li>
<li>Tim Scott +1500</li>
</ul>
</td>
<td width="312"><strong>CA GOP Debate: Most Speaking Time (BetUS)</strong></p>

<li>Vivek Ramaswamy +150</li>
<li>Mike Pence +200</li>

<li>Nikki Haley +900</li>
<li>Chris Christie +1800</li>
<li>Tim Scott +2000</li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Vivek is also leading the odds to speak for the most time this evening. He is long-winded and interjects often, making him a likely winner in both sets of prop bets. Once again, the odds differ for all GOP debaters and demand that gamblers shop the lines at <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/reviews/">18+ sportsbooks</a> to earn the best payout possible.</p>
<p>The debate is set to begin at 9:00 p.m., but there is a chance that these odds remain on the boards even after the candidates start answering questions. It may be wise to place your wagers before it starts because there is no guarantee that these props will remain live throughout the debate.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Former US President Donald Trump has been indicted for a fourth time in 2023. This time the charges are being issued in Georgia state court for attempting to tamper with the 2020 election results.</p>
<p>Trump and eighteen of his associates now have ten days to turn themselves in for arrangement. Here are Trump&#8217;s alleged accomplices.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Trump Associates Also Charged In Georgia Election Tampering Case</span></h3>
<ul>
<li>Robert Cheeley – GA-based attorney</li>
<li>Kenneth Chesebro – attorney for Trump</li>
<li>Jeffrey Clark – former Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division under Trump</li>
<li>John Eastman – attorney for President Trump</li>
<li>Jenna Ellis – Trump&#8217;s attorney</li>
<li>Harrison William Prescott Floyd – accused of attempting to influence the testimony of a Fulton Country election worker</li>
<li>Rudy Giuliani – personal attorney of Donald Trump and former Mayor of New York City</li>
<li>Scott Graham Hall – GA-based bail bondsman who allegedly tried to break into voting machines</li>
<li>Misty Hampton – accused of tampering with ballot operations in GA</li>
<li>Trevian C. Kutti – accused of attempting to influence the testimony of a Fulton Country election worker</li>
<li>Cathleen Alston Latham – former Chair of the Coffee County GOP who allegedly attempted to allow Trump supporters access to voting machines</li>
<li>Stephen Cliffgard Lee – accused of attempting to influence the testimony of a Fulton Country election worker</li>
<li>Mark Meadows – Trump’s White House Chief of Staff</li>
<li>Sidney Powell – an attorney who targeted Dominion Voting Systems</li>
<li>Michael Roman &#8211; Director of Election Day Operations for the 2020 Trump campaign</li>
<li>Ray Stallings Smith III – Trump attorney based in Georgia</li>
<li>David Shafer &#8211; Georgia Republican Party chair</li>
<li>Shawn Micah Tresher Still – an alleged false elector</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/politics/">18+ political betting sites</a> have acknowledged Trump&#8217;s latest round of charges with a set of odds on his Georgia indictment. These props will only be posted for a limited time because of the ten-day deadline in play.</p>
<h3>Georgia: Trump&#8217;s Weight At Arrest/Surrender</h3>
<ul>
<li>Over 262.5 lbs -120</li>
<li>Under 262.5 lbs -120</li>
</ul>
<p>The arraignment of Trump and his associates will involve the same processing as any alleged criminal walking in off the streets. That means Trump will be weighed, fingerprinted, and have a mugshot taken of him prior to his arraignment.</p>
<p>Trump has always eaten a high-calorie diet, and the above political prop bet suggests that his over/under weight as of his arrest will be a stout 262.5 pounds.</p>
<h3>Georgia Surrender/Arrest &#8211; Trump&#8217;s Primary Color of Tie</h3>
<ul>
<li>Red -200</li>
<li>No Tie +425</li>
<li>Black +800</li>
<li>Blue +800</li>
<li>Any Other +1000</li>
<li>Yellow +2000</li>
<li>Green +2500</li>
</ul>
<p>Red is Trump&#8217;s power color and is most often the shade of tie he wears when making public appearances. The odds imply he&#8217;ll wear a red tie to his GA court appearance, but the moneylines are forgiving and only require double the risk of what books will payout.</p>
<h3>Georgia: Will Trump Smile or Smirk in Official Mugshot</h3>
<ul>
<li>Not Smiling Or Smirking -500</li>
<li>Smiling Or Smirking +300</li>
</ul>
<p>While Trump has been defiant on social media, in the press, and at rallies, his demeanor during his various legal processes in 2023 has been somber. The above odds project that his mug shot in Georgia will be a serious one that does not feature a grin or smirk.</p>
<p>While <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/states/ga/">sports betting in Georgia</a> has not been approved by local lawmakers, domestic venues wouldn&#8217;t offer political odds anyway. The same holds true for all states in the USA, as none of them provide opportunities for betting on election outcomes or, in this case, indictment odds.</p>
<p>Because of this, the best option for betting on politics is with a gambling site that operates overseas. They feature election betting lines for races occurring in the United States and internationally.</p>
<p>While many offshore books require a minimum age of 21 to join as a member, the sites included in our <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/reviews/">online sportsbook reviews</a> are all 18-friendly and routinely offer Trump odds on his every move.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>With each passing day, Donald Trump tests the limits of the judicial system in the United States, setting precedents with nearly every legal move. The former President is now facing state charges in New York <a class="mh-excerpt-more" href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/news/new-donald-trump-odds-for-state-and-federal-charges-suggest-hell-be-found-guilty/" title="New Donald Trump Odds For State And Federal Charges Suggest He&#8217;ll Be Found Guilty">[...]</a></p>
The post <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/news/new-donald-trump-odds-for-state-and-federal-charges-suggest-hell-be-found-guilty/">New Donald Trump Odds For State And Federal Charges Suggest He’ll Be Found Guilty</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com">Sports Betting 18</a>.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With each passing day, Donald Trump tests the limits of the judicial system in the United States, setting precedents with nearly every legal move.</p>
<p>The former President is now facing state charges in New York relating to coverup money paid to Stormy Daniels, and now he&#8217;s been charged in federal court in relation to his retention of classified documents.</p>
<p>There are also further charges expected involving Trump&#8217;s role in the January 6th invasion of the US Capitol Building.</p>
<p>All of this is going down while Trump is campaigning for reelection to the White House in 2024, and <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/politics/">18 friendly political betting sites</a> actually feature him as the top contender to secure the Republican Party&#8217;s nomination.</p>
<p>There are also several political prop bets posted at our favorite sportsbook sites that suggest Trump&#8217;s legal outlook is grim. The following two Trump props are posted right now at Bovada sportsbook.</p>
<h4>Will Donald Trump Be Found Guilty Of One Or More Of The Classified Documents Federal Charges?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Yes -215</li>
<li>No +160</li>
</ul>
<h4>Will Donald Trump Be Found Guilty On One Or More Felonies In New York?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Yes +115</li>
<li>No -150</li>
</ul>
<p>While Donald&#8217;s chances of avoiding a guilty verdict in the Stormy Daniels case appear decent, his odds of being found guilty in the classified documents trial are not good at all.</p>
<p>His -215 moneyline odds of being found guilty of at least one of the 37 federal counts equates to a 68% likelihood. The following three props at BetOnline grant a more positive spin on how Trump will be spending the next couple of years.</p>
<h4>Will Trump Cut A Plea Deal With State Or Federal Prosecutors?</h4>
<ul>
<li>No -500</li>
<li>Yes +300</li>
</ul>
<h4>Will Trump Serve Jail Time Before 2025?</h4>
<ul>
<li>No -1500</li>
<li>Yes +600</li>
</ul>
<h4>Will Trump Serve Jail Time Before 2026?</h4>
<ul>
<li>No -700</li>
<li>Yes +400</li>
</ul>
<p>Odds posted at <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/entertainment/">entertainment betting sites</a> are rarely so certain about outcomes, but BetUS seems pretty certain that Trump&#8217;s legal team is not poised for a plea deal, nor will Donald see jail time prior to 2026.</p>
<p>The classified documents trial is now positioned for a mid-August start, whereas prior predictions had suggested it could begin as late as 2025. That raises the question as to how these trials would proceed if Trump were to be reelected as President in 2024.</p>
<p>Could Trump pardon himself from any charges he is facing as an elected President?</p>
<p>BetUS has also chimed in with odds on Trump being found guilty or going to jail. Once again, the moneylines suggest that Donald won&#8217;t be going to jail any time soon, nor is he willing to cut a deal with prosecutors.</p>
<h4>Will Donald Trump Serve Jail Time Before 2026?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Yes +400</li>
<li>No -700</li>
</ul>
<h4>Will Donald Trump Cut A Plea Deal With State Or Federal Prosecutors?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Yes +300</li>
<li>No -500</li>
</ul>
<h4>Will Trump Serve A Day In Jail If Found Guilty Of Hush Money Charges?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Yes +1200</li>
<li>No -8000</li>
</ul>
<h4>Will Donald Trump Serve Jail Time Before 2025?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Yes +600</li>
<li>No -1500</li>
</ul>
<p>The timelines for these political betting lines at <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/reviews/">online 18+ sportsbooks</a> are quite long, so be mindful of that if placing a wager on any of them. For example, getting paid on Trump&#8217;s odds of going to jail before 2026 could take over three years to complete.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Earlier this week, President Joe Biden announced a sweeping Student Loan Forgiveness program to assist Americans that earn $125,000 or less in annual income. Between $10,000 and $20,000 in total reduction can be secured by qualified applicants depending on which kind of loan they secured.</p>
<p>This would normally be a political move that would improve the sitting President&#8217;s standing in polls and in the odds at <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/politics/">election betting sites</a>, but the status of Joe Biden remains unchanged nearly 48 hours after the announcement of this historic program.</p>
<p>For the better part of a year now, Joe Biden&#8217;s odds of re-election have been behind not only Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump, but he has also trailed Kamala Harris at times.</p>
<p>Biden is now secure in his top billing for the DNC, but that could change come 2024 when it is time for the Democratic Party to nominate a Presidential Candidate.</p>
<p>As already mentioned, Biden has fallen behind even VP Harris at the betting sites listed in our <a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/reviews/">online sportsbook reviews</a> but is currently ahead of her in the DNC nomination and 2024 Presidential odds.</p>
<p>Here are a few reasons that the election odds for Biden have not moved since his Student Loan Forgiveness announcement:</p>
<ul>
<li>The celebration has been met with equal outrage on the opposite side of the political aisle. While the Dems and their supporters are standing tall after Biden unveiled his plan, the Republican Party views it as a handout and further evidence of socialist ideologies creeping their way into the mainstream.</li>
<li>Betting markets could be slow to react. If bettors are wary to place wagers on current odds, the lines won&#8217;t move. The odds won&#8217;t shift until more money starts coming in on Biden or if something drastic happens to Trump or DeSantis.</li>
<li>Political gamblers could be nonplussed by the entire affair. Many bettors already have their minds made up for 2024 regardless of which candidate represents each party or what gains are achieved between now and then.</li>
<li>The next Presidential Election is over 26 months away. Most Presidential prop bets involve election outcomes that will not be known until votes are counted in November of 2024. That means bets that are placed right now on Presidential odds will not payout for at least 2 years. Presidential betting markets could remain soft until after the 2022 midterm elections have concluded.</li>
</ul>
<p>As of late, no matter what happens in the realm of politics, supporters of the Republican Party gather and unite for an immediate response. Even after the Mar-a-Lago FBI search, something that would normally deflate any political aspirations, Trump remains the 2024 Presidential front-runner.</p>
<p>Now consider that Trump is running for office following a 2020 cycle where he was not reelected. The growing power that DeSantis wields within the GOP is also concerning for Trump, but Donald will likely remain the top option unless he is somehow disqualified from running.</p>
<p>As for Biden, his political outlook appears bleak. The US House and Senate are favored to flip red this November, providing a rough final two years of Biden&#8217;s first term.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t count out Joe Cool just yet, as he could have a few more tricks up his sleeve that he&#8217;ll unveil prior to November 8th, when midterm election votes are cast.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This week in US political news has been tumultuous, to say the least. Between the return of the Midterm Primary Elections and the active FBI raid of Donald Trump Sr’s Mar A Lago home, it has been a stretch of nonstop media hysteria. </span></p>
<h2>DeSantis Overtakes Trump</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For </span><a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/politics/">18+ political sports betting</a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> enthusiasts, the first thing to do after hearing the news is to check the event lines. And when it comes to the 2024 General Election, it seems that the former President’s leading status is beginning to fade. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A potential bid from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has been a major point of discussion in political circles, even before Trump stepped down from his seat. But only now has the prospect of his Presidency been taken so seriously. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Snatching Trump’s place at the top of the odds boards, #DeSantis2024 has taken the center stage in talks among Republican and Democratic campaign strategists alike. So far, it seems like the idea has caught some appeal.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The lines are as follows:</span></p>
<p><b>Odds to Win the 2024 US Presidential Election </b></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ron DeSantis +250</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Donald Trump Sr. +350</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Joe Biden +450</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gavin Newsom +1100</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kamala Harris +1200</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These odds have become very enticing to </span><a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/states/fl/">18+ Florida sports bettors</a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> who want to rally behind a hometown favorite. Still, things are never as black and white as they seem. Especially this far out from the Election.</span></p>
<h2>Mar A Lago And The Media</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although Gov. Ron DeSantis has been consistently ranked as a top contender for the Presidency, the consensus was always that the politician is too early in his career to pursue such a seat.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One might think that this change of circumstances would persuade the Governor to take advantage of Trump’s misfortune. But DeSantis’ specialty is subtlety—and Ron is in it for the long game.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since the Mar A Lago raid, DeSantis has publicly denounced the FBI’s actions against Trump. Furthermore, he has also taken the opportunity to shoot some jabs at the Biden administration. In a tweet he says, </span></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The raid of MAL is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">His public support strategy is effective, primarily guided by two simple steps: </span></p>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Using the situation to highlight overstep by federal authorities.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Avoiding any direct claims of Trump’s innocence.</span></li>
</ol>
<h2>Planning Your Political Bets</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Governor’s positioning here is very important. If the FBI does manage to dig up incriminating evidence against the former President, Trump’s election bid is out the window. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, if the FBI is not able to press charges with their findings, the momentum could propel Trump right back into the Oval Office. Should this prove to be the case, DeSantis’ Presidential ambitions are likely to be delayed another four years. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Within the Republican Party, DeSantis has quickly become a populist sensation. One way or another, the country is bound to see this politician on the General Election ballot. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But could this be the year that he wins? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Interested bettors can find political odds like these at any of our recommended online sportsbook sites. There are plenty of </span><a href="https://www.sportsbetting18.com/states/">US states offering 18+ online sports betting options</a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
