Could Tucker Carlson go right on over to Newsmax for his next job? Bovada online sportsbook updated its numbers with a noticeable shift. Let’s take a look at what has transpired over the past few days, make a pick, and then map out one long shot for the bettors out there. After all, the numbers here are polarizing to say the least. Fox News knew what it was losing but someone is going to gain immensely.
Tucker Carlson Next Job Odds | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Rumble | +200 | +175 | +175 | +185 | +190 |
OANN | +225 | +200 | +200 | +200 | +210 |
Breitbart | +475 | +450 | +500 | +450 | +450 |
Newsmax | +550 | +500 | +575 | +525 | +500 |
Netflix | +1600 | +1600 | +1800 | +1800 | +1500 |
Amazon Prime | +2000 | +2000 | +2000 | +2000 | +2000 |
The Tucker Carlson Network Bets just got started here. It remains hard to believe that Fox News would fire their polarizing news host right as the 2024 Election Cycle gets underway. However, this has been done before and the network has kept on trucking. Even Bill O’Reilly got canned from the Rupert Murdoch-owned network. Again, there are certain bridges that Murdoch would not tolerate. What one believes is up for conjecture, however.
In retrospect, Justin Wells, Carlson’s executive producer was let go too. That may be a regretful move by Fox News too. Wells formed the 60-minute show into some must-watch television. Whether one liked or despised Carlson, they packaged a show which grabbed attention and ran with it. Segments got mapped out far enough in advance that Carlson could adjust on the fly like few media personalities.
No one will be able to fill Tucker's spot. I like Lawrence Jones, but that's asking way 2 much

In other news, his executive producer Justin Wells –who was also let go from the network–was spotted at Carlson's home, assumedly working out what their next steps would be. 💃💃
Now, this is where the spice factor heats up. As always, Carlson can pick and choose where he goes next. The media personality choosing where he wants to go next is his prerogative and going to be fun. Television and streaming offers a plethora of options that were not available even 5-10 years ago. The 53-year-old network host was on Fox News for seven years and made millions. His net worth keeps going upward.
The next landing spot could be anywhere for Carlson. People forget that he part-owned The Daily Caller, worked for CNN, and even yes, MSNBC. Now, the chances he goes back to one of those two network is a mind boggling long shot at best. For what it’s worth, MSNBC/NBC is +4000 and CNN is +5000. We have a few ideas of our own at VegasBetting.
So, Tucker Carlson Network Bets looks at Newsmax as a possibility. There makes a lot of sense here. It’s not Rumble and it’s not OANN. One has to understand, Carlson already gets labeled as a right-wing extremist by entities such as CNN, etc. He’s not stupid and not afraid to call things or people out. For better or worse, the personality rides the coattails of no one.
Now, the fun thing is that Carlson following. This helps the media and himself. Why? That’s simple. Carlson dictates his next landing spot period. Consider one of his short videos after his dismissal from Fox got four times the views that his last show on the network got. That speaks volumes. Furthermore, it shows that an untethered television journalist/mogul can make it his own way.
Please consider newsmax as your next adventure. We would all switch in a heartbeat. I’m no longer a Fox fan as well as many millions of us who dropped the network. Either create your own network or use Twitter please. Thank you, American viewers are behind you. 🙏🙌🙌🙌

So, it is difficult to underestimate the power of Carlson. Every media network and streaming option knows the commodity that is Tucker Carlson. It is why Newsmax makes a lot of sense. The network is mostly right-sided but consider their lineup for a second and how they do try to balance with divergent personalties. Carlson could go back to his roots and yet still do investigative specials as he sees fit.
Yes, Newsmax comes in as not a favorite. However, at +500 to +575, those represent some intriguing numbers. Eventually, this could shorten. The time becomes essential to get moving on this as one never quite knows with a guy who makes decisions his way. Like we said, some networks seem too obvious and some look to be too ridiculous to even be worth mentioning.
What about something else in the Tucker Carlson Network Bets is a theory getting sucked into reality by more and more pundits. It makes sense that Carlson could go his own way or partner with someone for a time. This is how The Daily Caller took off more than a decade ago. Consequently, it is why anything could happen. Even the possibility of a new network – via television and/or streaming looks to be plausible.
Okay, what does this mean in terms of the Carlson bottom line? Rumors keep persisting that time is on the American’s side. This is not a Piers Morgan situation. Carlson earned the right not to have to go groveling somewhere for a job. He can create his own chances and opportunities. That is quite a luxury in this business.
As I said yesterday on @NEWSMAX, @elonmusk and @TuckerCarlson should team up to create the next TV network. It’s time. @RichSementa https://t.co/iDByu37TF9

So, this captures the fancy of many. Crossing the streams and combining the options to get more views would optimize the revenue for Carlson. As much as NewsNation from WGN could even swoop in, the chances are very low to say the least. It is why the longest shot may be for Tucker Carlson to go the other rout which is not listed on betting sites.
For the Tucker Carlson Network Bets, expect the unexpected here.
