Any bookmaker or at least p2p site where we could bet on super Tuesday outcomes with crypto? I'm specifically interested to see if there's any trusted site that provides good coverage for political events in the United States. Anyone know any good ones?

I don't know about Super Tuesday betting, but you could bet on popular sites such as freebitco.in since they offer four events:
- Democrat nominee
- Republican nominee
- Winning party
- Next president
Stake.com also offers these events on sports > specials > politics

Not sure though but I suggest following Sportsbet Specials (https://sportsbet.io/sports/specials/politics/outrights) too if they will open an outright betting for that event.

But if you are fine with the odds you will see on suggested above (stake.com) then you can consider that although I don't see yet any available betting for the said event as of this posting.

Betting is now up for "US Presidential Election - Winning Party"
Site: Sportsbet.io

https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/specials/politics/presidential-election-winning-party/presidential-election-winning-party-5aa14e7786e68d00063a0b12

Is this what you have looking for? But as of now, that's the only available for betting.

Mutual betting on onehash does have this kind of event.

https://www.onehash.com/category/special_events/politics/

There are other special events listed there from time to time.

You can use betmoose. It is a less known but trustworthy site. I believe many users there are from North America and Europe. You can post a pick of your own and generate a pot to allow other people to bet on both sides. Most of the time you will find a pick that you are looking for here, political or so. You can always go for the non-p2p sites like sportsbet and nitrogen but please check TOS of all sites before depositing.

Betmoose is P2P, If I am not wrong. Onehash is also a good site like others have suggested.

I visited now betmoose site, seems bets already ongoing. And there is good volume as well. Most of trending bets about political. Noticed they have announcement thread on forum also and OP still active although thread is very old. Here is thread; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=645747 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=645747)

I am not sure about their trustworthy, but it would nice discussion on their ANN thread if needed.

I wonder how crazy the crypto betting will be in 2020 for the next president. Most of you guys weren't around in 2016 when Trump was elected but there were many sites and many people taking even private bets for the next president. Basically the odds were in Hillarys favour however in the last day or so the outcome have started to turn. And the people who bet on Trump all won big. Keep in mind this was in Nov 2016 when BTC was like $600 or so.

Now after we had all that FOMO in 2017 and with the halving coming up. I am predicting that the amount of volume going into the pot for the next president will most likely be in the 9 figures with crypto related currencies. Should be an interesting time.

Fairlay have a couple of closing markets on their politics page.

Looks like onehash is the only site that offered a market for super tuesday (https://www.onehash.com/event/special_events/politics/316350/) but it's already closed with nearly BTC0.03 in the pot. Were you able to bet in time OP ?

Check this out ,

It's under special bets . I have used 1xbit for betting on various other sports like cricket , tennis but never for politics .

Politics betting is not a bet which every gambler likes to play and in fact most of gamblers don’t.There are a few casinos offering such bets including Sportsbet.io and I am sure that Sportsbet will update this kind of betting with more betting lines when we will be near to the election day.

That isn't true mate. If you will look into gambling as a whole, upcoming politics event is always on-trend in the gambling world. Big money always circulates in fiat gambling as this event is not a bet gamblers can see regularly. I'm not just sure though if, in terms of crypto-betting, the same status also happened but I'm sure it is. Crypto sports betting sites will not include political betting on their betting list if it isn't yielding a good number of bets.

As for recap, these are the sites that mentioned here by our co-fellow members that have an open betting for politics-related events;

sportsbet.io
onehash.com (mutual betting)
fairlay.com
1xbit.com (dyor - its a must)
Betmoose.com (parimutual / fixed odds betting)
stake.com

           It really opens up my eyes. I didn't expect that there is a gamble like this. Although I'm not really familiar about this, I usually think if this is even possible. Thank for the recommendation and will try to see later if they will be available in the coming elections.

you must be new here on gambling because you still didnt know that this kind of betting exists  . there are even odder than this  . i think almost everthing ( fighting , sports , etc, )  all kinds of stuff are applicable for gambling or placing a bet  . you can do them locally with your friends if ever there are no platforms that support it yet  . anyway , politics betting is hard imo compare to common gambling based on what i witness  because the fight here  is based on the money and on the popularity of the contender  but the results are verry unpredictable

There's a bookmaker for everything that there'd be demand to bet on! Some years ago I had seen a website exclusively accepting bets on the weather (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1182820.0). Almost any sport that involves opponents can also be bet on but this doesn't stop there. Betting on contests is also popular. In Europe the Eurovision song contest attracts big pools for example. Put politics markets are especially popular. Because people are putting their money on them, prediction markets are something that is considered a valid predictor of outcomes.

               I am not really new to gambling but also I am not expert on those. It is just that, it is my first time hearing or rather reading something about gambling in politics. As you've said the common betting games I usually see are sports and some games but politics?.. no its my first to hear.

               Indeed politics has lots of twists and turns and its hard to predict who will be the winner in the end.

I am surprised you haven't come across this already. Almost everything from weather betting to box office predictions betting goes on online. ( Don't even ask about offline betting ) . I too was surprised to see this but it was long ago when I was just starting to gamble online.

There are several sites that provide politics related crypto betting options as the posters above mentioned, but I suggest using Fairlay when compared to other sportsbooks since they charge a low margin on their odds basically.

Other sportsbooks(Especially Stake) add a lot of juice on their odds while Fairlay basically mirrors Pinnacle(Covers popular politics related bets) odds which is why you would get the best bang for your buck.

This seemed impossible to me as well in the beginning but then I realized that everything is possible in the world. There are people who bet on elections and these are the ones who usually have the secret information about elections. It seems that only few who are not in any way linked with politics do such betting.

Out of this list probably only Betmoose.com has a good number of political events which can be supplied. sportsbet.io has an extremely small history of political events (https://sportsbet.io/en/sports/specials/outrights) to bet on.
I would also like to find a site where the list was not limited to the US/UK. What about betting on political events in Russia?

Here you can find the List of TOP 20 Crypto Sportsbooks: http://100bookies.com/sportsbooks-that-accept-cryptocurrency-eng/

Yes and it's a good idea since most of sport events have been cancelled and gamblers have nothing to bet on.
You can also find this kind of bets on Augur.
