To mark the inauguration of Barack Obama as the forty-fourth President of the United States of America, Irish bookmaking chain Paddy Power is offering a wide range of Obama-themed betting opportunities.
With an expected domestic TV audience in excess of 50 million, customers can place bets on the duration of President Obama's speech, what "cliche" he will first mention during his address, the actual number of viewers that tune in, and whether the TV audience will exceed that of Super Bowl XLIII.
How long will Obama's first address last?
