UK oddsmakers subsequently slashed the US president’s odds of winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Prior to his nomination, Trump was at 100/1 to win the prestigious award (implied odds of 0.99 percent). The 45th Commander-in-Chief is now at 14/1 (implied odds of 6.67 percent).
Those who risked $100 on the previous line will net $10,000 should Trump become the fifth president to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. The others are Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter, and Barack Obama.
A $100 winning bet now nets $1,400.
