Paddy Power hosts a plethora of betting specials in honour of Trump’s Inauguration
By Nicole Abbott
y Power is currently hosting a variety of bets on Trumps Inauguration, which will take place tomorrow at the White House in Washington DC. The topics of the bets include the length and content of Trump’s speech, the colour of his tie and Melania’s dress, and the potential attendees.

The odds on for Trump’s inauguration speech to last 22.30mins or longer currently stand at 7/1, but Paddy Power has not held back on its list of clichés which may arise in Trump’s speech. “Make America Great Again” is top of the list at 2/1, but “Fake News” rates a decent bet at 10/1. You can even back “Meryl Streep” at 50/1, and a variety of his more controversial catchphrases a 500/1.

Paddy Power comments: “Controversy is never far away when it comes to The Donald and it will be fascinating to see if he can keep tight-lipped during his hotly anticipated inauguration speech.”

The operator has also published odds on the possible attendees of Trumps inauguration, including Trump super-fan Kanye West at 3/1, and passionate Clinton supporter Lady Gaga at 66/1.

When asked about the inauguration, Paddy Power said: “Trump has had so many celebs turn down his invite to the big party I genuinely thought I might get the call-up. Alas, it hasn’t happened so I’ll be tuning in from home and I’m hoping for some serious entertainment.”

The odds for the new first Lady wearing a white dress – to match her new home – are 12/5, and Trump wearing a red tie stand at 6/4.
