The White House has named FanDuel official gaming partner of its 3 December execution pay-per-view on The White House's Trump TV channel, allowing viewers to wager on markets including whether Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan actually dies.

Hasan, sentenced to death in 2013 for murdering 13 people and attempting to murder 32 others during the 2009 massacre, is scheduled to face a firing squad at Fort Hood, Texas. Coverage starts at $79.99.

"Following Christa Pike's botched lethal injection, we're reminding customers there’s no such thing as a sure bet," said a FanDuel spokesperson.

Other markets on offer include whether the marksmen hit Hasan’s heart or send a bullet "harmlessly through a lung and shoulder blade", which commentators will describe as a near miss, what colour jumpsuit he will be wearing and whether he opts to be hooded or unhooded during the "main event."

A same-execution parlay combines a missed shot, prolonged medical intervention and a White House statement declaring the procedure flawless and that justice had been served.

"Everyone deserves a second chance," the spokesperson added. "That's why your first losing bet comes with a refund in bonus bets. We will deposit match you up to $5000 so make sure you don't miss out on the action!"

More to come.
