Trump-Putin G20 Prop Bets

Trump-Putin G20 Prop Bets

On Friday July 7th, President Trump will meet Vladimir Putin at the G20 Summit in Hamburg, Germany. This marks the first-ever face-to-face meeting between the two world leaders (we think).

Proving, once again, that you can literally bet on anything, BetOnline has released a plethora of Trump-Putin prop bets.

First on the list: the long-anticipated handshake.

Trump has been in office for less than six months, but he’s already gained a reputation for giving extremely long, painfully awkward handshakes (just ask Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe). Add in the fact that Trump has long been a Putin fan and we could be looking at a new Guinness world record for the longest handshake of all-time.

BetOnline opened the Trump-Putin handshake Over/Under at 4.5 seconds (an even -115 on both sides). Apparently the sharps are expecting a very long embrace. Over the past 24-hours, the line has moved to Over -165, Under +135.

Will they profess their undying admiration for each other? Will they bond over their shared disdain for Hillary Clinton, NATO and fake news? Will they unveil their joint plan to destroy ISIS?

What do you think?

Are you intrigued by any of the Trump-Putin prop bets? Will the handshake be over 4.5 seconds or under 4.5 seconds? Will you be placing a wager on Trump saying “Hillary Clinton,” “NATO” or “ISIS”? Will Putin say “Make America Great Again”?
