Donald Trump arraignment oddsmakers offer bets on how much he will weigh at Georgia booking (Daily Maillink): As the deadline for Donald Trump to surrender for booking in Georgia looms, online sports books are going wild with proposition bets on everything from his tie color to his body weight at booking.
Over/unders, which are also often used to bet on the point total of a sporting event, allow the gambler to select whether they believe the outcome will be higher or lower than amount selected by oddsmakers.
That might rankle the former president, who on Thursday lashed out at Fox News, accusing the network of using unflattering photographs that make him look 'big' and 'orange' with his 'chin pulled way back'.
According to BetOnline employee Dave Mason, 77 percent of gamblers have taken the over bet on Trump's weight so far, spurring the sportsbook to increase the total by eight pounds.
When he was booked in Manhattan on New York state charges earlier this year, 76-year-old Trump reportedly told officials he stood six-foot-two and weighed 240 pounds -- though those measurements were self-reported and not verified.
Mod: My guess? 306 lbs. I submitted that number to the contest The Lincoln Project is running (link). For more on these weighty matters click on the Daily Mail link up above.
