Trump Wall Bet to be Graded a Loser

Dave Mason of BetOnline on Tuesday confirmed that those who placed bets in 2016 on whether a US border wall would be completed by the end of Donald Trump's Presidency will be graded as "NO".

Mason tweeted, based on a thorough analysis conducted by one of BetOnline's wager review panelists, that it will be close to impossible to complete the wall by week's end.  Nevertheless, should it happen (and it won't), YES bets would then be honored.

UPDATE

The @BetOnlineBurns informed me that he already graded the "Will the entire wall be completed" prop.

By Burns' models and algorithms they won't be able to finish 1,200+ miles in the next 8 days.

And yes, if they do finish the wall by Jan 20, we will honor YES bets.

Trump was on his way to Alamo, Texas Tuesday to preach his accomplishments related to the wall.  It was not immediately clear if he would proclaim the project as completed.
