In another case from the “Oddsmakers Will Take Action On Anything Conor McGregor Related” files, believe it or not, you can place a bet on Conor McGregor being named Time Magazine’s “2017 Person of the Year.”
While McGregor faces much longer odds than front runner French President Emmanuel Macron and other notables, such as controversial NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, enigmatic entrepreneur Elon Musk, U.S. President Donald Trump, and North Korean dictator-at-large Kim Jong-Un, his odds are surprisingly much better than several others.
Though McGregor is a longshot at 15-to-1 odds to win the 2017 Person of the Year distinction, that’s much better than Russian President Vladimir Putin (25-to-1), former U.S. President Barack Obama (30-to-1), and even Pope Francis (30-to-1). He even bested Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Tom Brady, the quarterback of the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots.
If you’ve got Conor McGregor fever and want to place a bet that the UFC fighter shocks the world even more than when he landed the Floyd Mayweather fight, www.Bovada.lv is the oddsmaker taking action on the likelihood that he becomes Time Magazine’s 2017 Person of the Year, and would be glad to take your money, er… bet.
