With no football on the schedule for the first time since last Wednesday, the debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris may be just the fix for gamblers itching for a wager.
Even without a national anthem or coin toss to place action on, prop bets abound as Tuesday nights ABC News-hosted contest in Philadelphia marks the first time Vice President Harris will meet former President Trump on a debate stage.
DailyMail.com has offered a bingo card to help follow along with the action and many of the spots on the cards are being offered as prop bets by offshore bookies as wagering on politics is illegal in the U.S.
For example, one of the markers is Harris repeating her famous phrase of being unburdened.
BetUs offers Harris saying that phrase at +500 odds, meaning a $5 bet could payout $25.

The Democrat and the Republican will participate in the second 2024 general election debate, but with some major changes since the Atlanta showdown in late June between Trump and President Joe Biden.
The biggest change - obviously - is that Biden has bowed out of the race, with Harris now topping the Democratic ticket, picking Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate.
It was his disastrous June debate performance - and pleas from a number of top Democrats - that compelled the 81-year-old president to do so, in late July.
Also since the last debate, Trump survived a July 13 assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
A bullet grazed the ex-presidents ear, with him wearing a bandage for most of the mid-July Republican National Convention, prompting his supporters to flatter him by copying the look.
The debate kicks off at 9 p.m. ET, with Trump having left for Philadelphia this morning.
It will be the first time Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris meet.
Harris arrived in Philadelphia Monday night after spending a long weekend in Pittsburgh doing debate prep.
