In 2023, Taylor Swift was named Time Person of the Year and now bettors are looking to 2024
to see who may take home the honors. If you’re looking to make money on a futures bet, this
might be the one for you. The choices are many, and the odds can be quite attractive. It all
depends on who, or what, you think may be the most important figure by the end of this year.
Donald Trump (+400)
The 2024 US Presidential Election will have a huge impact on this market. If Donald Trump
wins the election, his chances to win this award go up substantially. But that is a risky wager.
Trump just winning the presidency is listed at about +110, so you have to decide where the
better value is. Even if he does win the White House it doesn’t mean Time will hand over this
award.
Joe Biden (+600)
The current president is right on Trump’s heels for this honor but his chances of remaining in
office continues to wane. Biden is currently at about +250 to win the US Election.
Nikki Haley (+800)
Sticking with politics, we could see some late support for Nikki Haley as she tries to upset
Trump in the Republican race. If she does, the 51-year-old would have a great shot at taking
down Biden in the election.
AI (+600)
We all have been hearing it lately, “AI is taking over the world”. Slowly but surely we are seeing
this. So can a software win this award? Hey, if a superstar singer can, why not? And for your
information, this is a human writing this, not AI. On a serious note, it wouldn’t be a surprise
given how important AI has become.
Mr. Beast (+1200)
He is the biggest YouTuber going right now and Mr. Beast has transformed the way we engage
with media. He has racked up massive views for all his videos regardless of what the content is
about. He’s estimated to be worth more than half a billion dollars and he’s actually giving back.
Recently he made a video about supplying struggling countries with water wells. Mr. Beast
appeals to a younger demographic and isn’t tied up in any sort of controversy, so you can make
a case for him to take this award in 2024.
