Bets on the outcome of a Donald Trump presidency are officially open.

On Wednesday, Loto-Quebec invited players on its Mise-o-jeu platform to wager on the following question: “Will Donald Trump still be president of the United States after May 1, 2018?”

According to its current odds, the provincial Crown corporation seems to believe it’s likely he’ll still be in office – about three and a half times more likely.
