Barack Obama's parallels to Abraham Lincoln are well chronicled. They hail from the same state. Obama frequently invokes Lincoln's words. And the president-elect will be sworn in on the same bible used by Lincoln at his 1861 inauguration.
So it's a safe bet that Lincoln will be the first former president mentioned by Obama during his inaugural speech, right?
As it turns out, it is a safe bet - but not a profitable one.
In fact, the odds of Lincoln getting the first presidential shout-out are 10-11, according to BetUS Sportsbook.
