Triple your money if Biden utters ‘senile’ or ‘dementia’ during State of the Union

Poll numbers drive Democrats away from Biden

Fox News senior congressional correspondent Chad Pergram has the latest polling numbers that may spell trouble for President Bidens campaign on Your World.

American voters looking to profit from President Biden’s State of the Union address on Thursday can wager on whether the president has a "brain freeze," if he confuses Nikki Haley with anyone else, as well as more traditional wagers such as the over/under of the speech’s length. 

Biden has faced questions from critics over his cognitive abilities for some time, and recently referred to Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi as the "president of Mexico" and mixed up "red state and blue state" with "red state and green state" while speaking at the House Democratic Caucus Issues Conference. Instead of worrying, some Americans may hope to benefit by predicting Biden’s next gaffe. 

BetOnline has created a plethora of money-making opportunities around Thursday's important speech, as the 81-year-old president hopes to quell national concerns about his cognitive abilities and mental fitness.

Here are some of the props for the speech. In betting parlance, 2/1 odds means a bet would get paid off double if successful, 3/1 means triple, etc. When the odds have a plus or minus sign in front of them, that refers respectively to how much you'll get if you bet $100 and how much you'd have to bet to win $100. In other words, odds with a plus sign equate to longer odds and have higher payouts due to their decreased probability.

Will any of these happen?

Biden directly mentions "Trump" –  2/1

Biden mis-names a foreign leader or country – 3/1

Biden says either "senile" or "dementia" – 3/1

The president's speech to the nation also comes just weeks after special counsel Robert Hur released his highly anticipated report following his months-long investigation into Biden's improper retention of classified records. Hur, in his report, described the president as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," and did not bring charges against him.
