They had a prop on how many lies would Trump say during his speech.
Over 3.5 - 145
92% bet the Over causing the book to have huge losses.
Rumor has it that the 8% who bet the under were SBR posters DwightShute, brooks85, MrKLC and Jibby.

Can't believe anything Yahoo says
Is it real?
And if so how could they even offer & grade such a wager with legitimacy on what's true & what's a lie?!?Comment -

Donald Trump’s loose grip on the truth just cost one gambling site dearly.
Before the president’s address on border security Tuesday night, Bookmaker.eu put the over/under on the number of lies he’d spew at 3.5. For bettors, it was a no-brainer, as hundreds of thousands of dollars loaded up on the over.
In fact, Bookmaker odds consultant John Lester told MarketWatch that the site has never seen such a lopsided response from its customers.
“Never in our 30-year history have we been this one-sided (9 to 1) on a wager,” he said. “You would have to go back to the early Mike Tyson fights (pre-Buster Douglas) to find a wager with comparable one-sided demand.”
Lester explained that no matter how much he adjusted the odds, hardly anybody seemed interested in taking the under. Smart move, considering the Washington Post found that there were at least six false statements during the address.
“We knew the President would be prone to exaggeration to support his need for Democratic support to fund his wall,” Lester said. “However, we hoped the 8-minute time constraint coupled with the unlikelihood of the President going off-script would keep the total number of false statements low.”
Nope.
This isn’t the first time the site has been crushed by a wrong-sided Trump bet, having lost more than a million dollars when he won the presidency.
“Bookmaker seems to be snake-bit with President Trump,” he said.
That won’t stop the site from offering more political wagers, considering demand for such action has been on the rise in recent years.
“As the political arena starts to mirror the drama and colorful personalities that comprise the sporting world,” Lester said, “players seem to be finding as much excitement in wagering on political props as they would on their favorite team.”Comment -

This is my favorite part:
They figured he would say no more than one lie per 2 minutes so they set the over under at 3.5 but Trump managed to almost average 1 lie per minute which is like a world record.“We knew the President would be prone to exaggeration to support his need for Democratic support to fund his wall,” Lester said. “However, we hoped the 8-minute time constraint coupled with the unlikelihood of the President going off-script would keep the total number of false statements low.”

Total BS. The limit on this prop was 250, and every time it was bet it went up a minimum of 10 cents. The line closed at -280. So if it started EVEN with no vig and ended up at -280 that would be 28 bets at 250 each or $7,000 US.
Could not have been more.Comment -

How can anyone determine what's the truth and what's a lie, with 100% certainy, especially in a matter of hours??
Nobody can.
It sometimes takes a jury days or weeks to deliberate on what's true or not and even that is based on opinion most of the time.Comment -
Trump truly IS for the layman........
