In ancient Egypt, 4000 to 3000 BC, people would bet on dice, board games, and skill-based betting like chariot racing and fencing. It's been popular ever since. There are crazy things to bet on, but today there are many who are betting on the first presidential debate. As for the debate, you can bet on who the polls say will win (the odds are Trump) and who will ask the first question (the odds are Biden).

You can also bet on how many times Putin will be mentioned (even over or under 6.5 times) and whether Taylor Swift will be mentioned in the debate. Niche bets are also in demand. Will Biden freeze for 5 seconds and lose his footing, or will Trump say “bing bong” and sniff 5 times in one reaction?

Marijuana approval, scheduled for this year, is another major bet… and the entire industry is eagerly awaiting the outcome. One plant had a high probability of over 80% and is now at 46% of being completed in 2024. Currently, it is almost even with one plant regarding the amendment to Florida's recreational use regulations, whether it passes or not.

“Today, betting is socially accepted and extremely popular. In addition to the usual sports, you can bet on all kinds of crazy things if you know where to look,” says Rep Porter, national poker champion and CEO of Hi On Nature.
