The second edition of Democratic Party debates are slated for Tuesday, July 30 and Wednesday, July 31 with the 2020 Democratic primaries approaching. Held in Detroit, Michigan, the debates are being carried on national television and will be broadcasted by CNN.
When it comes to political betting, it doesn’t matter if you’re a Republican or Democrat, everybody can get behind some profitable prop bets for what’s going to happen with all of the Democratic candidates during the debates — which then adds even more entertainment value to an already entertaining event.
US betting sites has dropped a set of prop bets for you to place a wager or two on during the debates, so go ahead and get your wallets out. If you’re new this, go ahead and place a few bets, then sit back and crack open a bottle of beer like you’re Elizabeth Warren and enjoy the debates. When you mix political debates and betting (and alcohol at that), it provides an unbelievable amount of entertainment value, so go for it, try it out.
Some examples of prop bets are the OVER/UNDER of how many times President Donald Trump will tweet during the debates, with the number set at 12.5. Then you have the prop of which Democratic candidate will say something in another language. For example: “How many candidates will speak Spanish during the second round of Democratic debates?”
Let’s go over the full list of prop bets, shall we? You can also check out the latest edition of my 2020 United States Presidential Election analysis, predictions and view the odds. I’ll be having updated commentary on that subject soon, and continuously through the campaign season.
I would certainly take the UNDER on this. I’m honestly shocked that the odds-makers have OVER 12.5 as the favorite, especially considering he only tweeted three times during the first round of debates that we had. Here were the three tweets: 1. “BORING!” 2. A video of Time Magazine covers over time that go from ‘Trump 2024’ to ‘Trump 2028’ to ‘Trump 2032’ to, well, you get the idea. And 3. “NBC News and MSNBC should be ashamed of themselves for having such a horrible technical breakdown in the middle of the debate. Truly unprofessional and only worthy of a FAKE NEWS Organization, which they are!” With that being said, consider this an early Christmas gift. There’s quite a bit of value here with the UNDER 12.5 +150, so go ahead and place a wager on that and make a good profit. I’m honestly shocked the OVER is the favorite here, wow, so certainly take advantage of it.
The main reason why so many Democratic candidates spoke Spanish in the last round of debates was that they were held in Miami, Florida, a city with a Hispanic community that makes up 70.0% of the population — obviously the strong majority of the citizenry. With Detroit, Michigan, things are the opposite. There, the Hispanic community only makes up 6.2% of the population, so with that being said, don’t expect any Democratic candidates to speak Spanish in these set of debates. There’s nobody to pander to like that in this part of the country. With that being said, go ahead and take the UNDER in this prop bet.
Go ahead and ride with the OVER on this one. Not only do I think former vice president Joe Biden will try to ride his Obama coalition to the White House, but the OVER is also the under-dog at +125 odds. With those being the circumstances, I would certainly take the OVER in a wager, there’s a lot of value here. In the first debate, there were countless times where Biden mentioned Obama, and he’s also mentioned him several times at rallies and in interviews. As I said, Biden is trying to ride the Obama label all the way to Washington D.C., and I don’t blame him, it’s a good campaign move. At the end of the day, Obama was elected president twice, and if I were him, I would continue to stick with it. Not only does he get the Obama coalition, but he continues to look moderate in a Democratic Party that is leaning vastly left nowadays. I see that going well for Biden if he takes advantage, and he will, take the OVER.
There’s not much value in this prop bet with NO being the overwhelming favorite at -500, and that’s because there’s not any other bet to make. Andrew Yang has gotten a solid amount of press because of his lacking of a tie, and when you’re running for president, you need press. And on top of that, he also appeals more to the American working class as “one of them”. Hey, it worked for Trump. So you better believe Yang will try and milk this tie situation as much as he can, so it’s almost certain that he won’t wear a tie again in this set of debates. With that being the case, NO is really the only logical bet to make here, but as I said, there’s zero value here at -500.
Again, the main reason why so many Democrats spoke Spanish during the South Florida debates is because Miami is 70.0% Hispanic. With the city of Detroit, you can expect about 6.2% of the population to be Hispanic, and as a result, there shouldn’t be any Spanish spoke in the second round of debates. This prop bet is hilarious though because if anybody did speak Spanish randomly in Detroit, it would totally be Beto O’Rourke. He’s a strange enough guy to do it, but still, you got to ride with NO here at +155, which is actually the under-dog for some profitable value. I’m a bit surprised at the odds-makers, again, with this, but hey, go ahead and take advantage of it. Again, O’Rourke is a weird dude, so if anybody would do it, it would be him.
This is yet another hilarious bet, a bit ridiculous, but still hilarious. If you’re not familiar with the comedy element of this, it’s in reference to Elizabeth Warren doing a video stream on Instagram Live and drinking a bottle of beer to “appeal” more to everyday Americans. Instead of doing that, it became the internet mocking her instead. When you look at the figures, it should come as no surprise that NO has a whopping -10000 favorite number. After the whole Instagram Live debacle, I’m sure she’ll never do that again, and why on earth would she crack open a beer in the middle of a debate? I’m a bit confused of why this is a prop bet, but I do enjoy the hilarity of it. As far as betting, just have a chuckle and pass on this prop. There’s no value here whatsoever.
You know, with all of the creepiness concerning Joe Biden coming out into the mainstream, you would think he would do everything in his power to avoid doing anything “creepy” throughout the campaign and try to avoid this whole subject together. But nope, that doesn’t seem to be the game plan of “Creepy Uncle Joe”. At a campaign rally, Biden would kiss a young girl on the lips and it would set shock waves across the internet. Now granted, it was his granddaughter, but when you’re appearing creepy to a load of Americans, the best thing to do is to avoid anything else, well, creepy. Biden doesn’t seem to get that memo. NO is the favorite here at -450, as it should be, but with everything that’s come out with the former vice president, I wouldn’t blame you for placing a wager on YES at +275. Like Beto O’Rourke speaking Spanish, if anybody is going to hug another candidate on camera, it would certainly be Joe Biden. Still, logically, I look for Biden to avoid any of that kind of contact, especially with other candidates on national television.
During the first set of debates, Marianne Williamson would make the strong statement that she would make the United States of America the best country to raise a child in, even better than top-ranked New Zealand. (Though I would debate that, but hey, that’s what the study says.) She would even deliver a proposal after saying this, giving the idea of the ‘U.S. Department of Children and Youth’. The odds have NO as the favorite here, but I wouldn’t be surprised if YES was the winner for her to bring up her new example. At the same time though, this woman is a dandy, and I’m sure she’s got a whole lot more new content for us to chew on. Still, though, I can’t help but to see her bringing up New Zealand again and her proposed department, and there’s a lot of value there at +350. I’ll go ahead and ride with YES.
OJ Simpson created headlines in the media and a frenzy online when he set up his own Twitter account, and not only did he set up his own profile on the social media website, but he also came out with a video with his very own political analysis. Needless to say, it didn’t go so well with the majority of the Twitter-sphere, neither have his other posts. Writes one Twitter user: “Love that you’re taking a stab at politics instead of women for once.” Regardless, OJ Simpson continues to post a video every few days on Twitter, though he hasn’t done so in nine days. What he does is he’ll watch something on television or have a conversation with somebody, then he’ll talk about his thoughts on video and post it on Twitter. I expect him to be watching the debates, but bet on NO in this prop bet. He’ll save his views for a video after the fact.
If you don’t remember, NBC would have a mishap during the last round of debates in which some microphones would be cut off, and then other microphones that were supposed to be cut off were actually cut on, so we could hear background conversations going on. As a result, the moderators would go to a commercial break, and that’s when this prop bet was born. Now CNN is put to the task to make sure everything runs smoothly, and in the odds, they get a heavy -1000 figure in the favor of NO. With that mishap being a big deal in the press, on social media and even being called out by President Trump, I expect CNN to be on top of their game to make sure nothing like that happens. I’m sure jobs have already been threatened over at that organization, go ahead and ride with NO.
