I've always found that gambling makes almost anything a hundred times better. I can't watch any sporting event unless I have at least ten bucks riding on the outcome. Games that I could not care less about a magically transformed into epic, life-or-death showdowns all for the cost of the adult buffet price at Golden Corral.

Golfing holds much less appeal if it doesn't have at least a five dollar 3-sided Nassau bet with the option to press on 18. If it weren't for gambling I don't think I'd even PLAY golf anymore.

The same goes for practically anything. Academy Awards, who Negan is going to kill...everything can be amplified by having some skin in the game. So, why should the presidential debates be any different?

FIRST GREETING

  • Terse handshake vs. anything beyond the basic handshake.
  • There's also the possibility that there's NO physical contact between the candidates. Let's put the odds of that at 15:1

NUMBER OF TIMES TRUMP MENTIONS BILL CLINTON

  • The over/under here is 5 separate times.

WILL TRUMP CALL HILLARY A DISPARAGING NAME?

  • "Crooked Hillary" "Shrillary" or "Killary" would all count
  • ODDS: 5:1

NUMBER OF TIMES "Lie", "Liar" or "Lying" is Uttered

  • Over/under: 5

WILL TRUMP TWEET THAT THE MODERATOR (Lester Holt) WAS BIASED?

  • Yes/No

WHAT WILL HAVE MORE VIEWERS ACCORDING TO OVERNIGHT NIELSEN RATINGS

  • Debate/Monday Night Football

WILL ONE OR BOTH CANDIDATES CALL THE OTHER "RACIST"?

  • Yes/No

WILL GENNIFER FLOWERS BE SEATED IN THE FRONT ROW?

  • 10:1

WILL HILLARY PASS OUT DURING THE DEBATE?

  • 20:1

WILL TRUMP BOAST ABOUT THE SIZE OF ANY OF HIS BODY PARTS?

  • 50:1

The possibilities are endless. You can come up with your own beforehand or even after the debate has started.
