Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney accused President Donald Trump of being "afraid" to bet on the World Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers. 

"I think he’s afraid to make a bet," Carney joked to The Associated Press Thursday. "He doesn’t like to lose. He hasn’t called. He hasn’t returned my call yet on the bet, so I’m ready. We’re ready to make a bet with the U.S."

Carney predicted the Blue Jays would win in six games.

"The country is so pumped. I think the world is pumped for this series," Carney said. "It’s going to go deep. It’s going to be a great series. But we’ve got depth, we’ve got fire. You see the performance."

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked during a media briefing Thursday whether Trump does any sports betting when the topic turned to the FBI's arrest of three NBA figures in a widespread illegal gambling probe. 

"You know, I'm not sure. I don't think he does. I've been with him quite some time, and I've not seen him gamble before," Leavitt said. "I don't think he's a big gambler."
