In a surprising twist following the discovery of cocaine in the White House this past weekend, international sportsbooks have begun placing odds on potential culprits, with Hunter Biden, son of President Biden, finding himself as the favorite in some books.
Renowned betting platform BetOnline.ag has Hunter Biden at +150 odds, ranking him as the most probable suspect on a list that includes a mix of serious contenders and humorous additions.
Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce is next in line at +900 odds, trailed by “One of the Jonas Brothers” at +1000 odds and actress Angelina Jolie at +1400. Interestingly, President Biden and his wife, First Lady Jill Biden, are last on the list with +15000 and +10000 odds, respectively.
Sportsbetting.ag, another betting site, mirrors BetOnline.ag’s lineup, also showing Hunter Biden as the favorite. Interestingly, Hunter spent the Fourth of July at the White House, watching the fireworks from the national landmark.
Bovada, a sportsbook based in Costa Rica, offers slightly better odds for Hunter, placing a “Tour Group Guest” as the favorite at -400 odds, with Hunter close behind at +200. “Janitorial Staff” and “Secret Service Special Agent” follow Hunter with +1000 and +2000 odds, respectively.
The site also includes a number of whimsical suspects, such as Tony Montana, the fictional character from the 1983 film “Scarface”, and former President Trump, both at +50000 odds.
The cocaine was discovered in the West Wing of the White House, in an area frequented by both guests and staff, which necessitated an immediate evacuation of the building and an emergency response. The President was not present at the White House during the incident.

This unusual discovery has triggered a wave of quips and criticism from potential 2024 Republican presidential candidates.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis shared his thoughts on the matter with Tomi Lahren on OutKick’s “Tomi Lahren is Fearless,” stating, “I think a lot of us have believed that the Biden administration has been blowing it on a lot of fronts, but I guess it’s a little bit more literal than even I had thought.” DeSantis went on to contrast the incident with his family’s innocent shenanigans at the Governor’s Mansion.
Meanwhile, former President Trump leveled a direct accusation at the Bidens on his social media platform, Truth Social. He wrote, “Does anybody really believe that the COCAINE found in the West Wing of the White House, very close to the Oval Office, is for the use of anyone other than Hunter & Joe Biden?”
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated Wednesday it was likely one of the many visitors to the West Wing.
“That is what happens. People come through this area that is highly traveled. I’m just not going to get into specifics. I’m not going to get ahead of the Secret Service. I’ll let them speak to that,” she said.
The first White House Press Secretary to George W. Bush, Ari Fleischer, raised an eyebrow at the whole notion an outsider left the cocaine baggie in the cubby.
“Right when you walk into the West Wing there is a little cubby right there,” Fleischer said.
“Usually it is manned by a Secret Service uniformed division officer. So when you go in and hand your phone and hand your possessions to them, you don’t put it in the cubby yourself. You give it to the Secret Service,” he continued.
“So I cannot imagine the Secret Service uniformed division officer being handed a bag of cocaine for him to store in the little cubby. So the question is, at what time of day did someone go into put it there and who could that have been?”
Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino posted a Tweet Wednesday unequivocally stating that it was someone in the Biden family.
Fox News Digital has sought a response from Hunter Biden’s legal team, querying if they can definitively deny any involvement of their client in the incident, considering his well-documented struggle with substance abuse. However, no response has been received as of yet.
The investigation by the authorities is still ongoing. The question on everyone’s mind is will the American people ever get a straight answer.
