1. Obviously I will be looking for a prop bet that has him Not participating in all scheduled debates.

I don't know if he is lowering expectations or looking for a way out with his recent tweets. But I could easily see Trump saying the system is rigged, and he only debates if Johnson and Stein are included on the stage (though they don't currently meet 15% polling average debate threshold). It's the easiest out for him without appearing apprehensive about debating Hillary one on one.

Why does anyone think Trump is afraid of debating Clinton? Where does this come from?

Well, the Presidential debates won't be won by name calling and insults.   He will have to talk about actual policy and saying things like 'build a wall', 'law and order, 'make America great again' won't cut it.

Donald Trump hates football too!   That's why he killed the USFL back in the 80's.   What will all the mouthbreathers and face painters do now?   They will be so confused on what to do!

Hate brown people:  Good!
Hate football:  Bad!

i'd be interested in those odds.  he has to show up at least one of them, but i might put some money down that he doesn't go to all 4.

Because they will be debating politics. If they were going to be debating real estate development then Trump would probably destroy her.

These debates will be different from the primary debates. Much more substance on issues. Much less discussion on hand size.

I also am very curious what those odds would be. Trump to participate in all scheduled debates.......I hope we get to see those odds.

I'm not sure why Trump would want to debate HRC.
Assuming that the moderators were capable of keeping Trump on topic, he would receive a verbal beatdown of epic proportions. 

What does this mean? Basically it means that HRC is a career politician, and Trump is many things, but a politician is not one of them.

HRC should know more than Trump on political issues, this is obvious.
If they were to debate on what it takes to build a skyscraper, would anyone expect HRC to do well?

Before people give the obvious retort of "but he is running for POTUS, she is not running to be a General Contractor", let me point out that the majority of Trumps supporters are such because he is not part of the corrupt political system. His voter base likes that he is not a career politician. 

Trumps strength is putting together a team of competent individuals, who know how to get things done in an effective, efficient manner.
The Clinton Machine, nor politicians in general, do nothing efficiently, and rarely effectively.

For HRC's supporters, rejoice that she knows more about foreign policy than Trump. Have fun with it. Revel in it. Consider it an argument as to why Trump is not fit to be POTUS. None of this can be disputed.
Do all of this while ignoring the fact that HRC is a well documented liar, deceiver, and deeply corrupt.

IMO, anyone who puts forth an argument for either candidate, is delusional

You guys are ridiculous.  

Full disclosure: I am not voting for him. I have money on Hillary.

  However, he will handle the debates like he handled all the other primary debates. Do you think that there will be any difference? Stop being such rubes. This election will go down to the wire. She might win. He might win. But to think he will get embarrassed because these are the "Presidential Debates" and Hillary is"master debater" is just silly.

Trump can talk all day, but when you look back afterwards to try and find any substance to what he says it just isn't there.   He will not answer a question directly, he will make a broad generalization but it will not be a clear answer.

Sure he will.   He lies about everything too.  Screw the debates.... put them in a lying contest.  Now that would be good TV.

What you said is completely different than being embarrassed. The people who are going to vote for him don't care about substance. Think 2008 Hope and Change and Yes we can! He will attack Clinton every chance he gets. Substance doesn't matter. People are angry. They feel betrayed by the establishment , right or wrongly.  It will be must see TV. I can't wait.

You guys have to remember. Trump has charm and can speak to people and make sense.

Hillary has negative charm. She has to fake every bit of speaking prowess you see from her.

When he asks her about the clinton foundation and what happened to the money that was supposed to go to Haiti she will go down in flames.

When he asks her why Bills speaking fees dramatically went up right after she became secretary of state she will have no answer and will go further down in flames.

What you say is spot on, and widely expected as Trumps plan of attack.
Unfortunately, I would also expect the debate moderators to try to keep the discussion on the questions which they pose.
They will not ask the questions that you referenced, but will stick to more standard questions such as "if you are elected, what is your plan to lower the national debt?" 
HRC is well versed in answering these type questions. Trump is not.

The truth is, questions about HRC's honesty should be in play, as it will show a track record for what she has done, as opposed to her ability to answer political questions on what she will do. To those questions she will simply lie, and do it very well

Trump is very charming, especially when talking about female moderators having their periods or coming up with childish nicknames for his opponents.   Definitely stuff that matters

NFL agrees with Trump and wish the debate commission could find another night...
