Politics seems predictable most of the time but looks like few people actually bet on it. Example, you know Joe Bidden has probably 50% chance of winning the Democrats primary. What stops you from picking and betting on that? Do you bet on politics and what are your winning stats.

Some time around October 2016 after the Access Hollywood tape was released, a certain betting site gave 108 to Trump winning the election. I believed strongly that Trump was going to win despite everything thrown at him. I had $5,000 and wanted to pick the odd. Somehow, I didn't follow through. That could have given me over half a million dollars in winning.

How often do you bet on Politics? Any reason why most people don't really bet on Politics? Do you know any trusted betting site that offers good odds in American Politics?

I know that betting odds, and there were people who won a good amount because Trump won, while there are also losses big because they thought Trump has no chance to win, LOL...bad for them, they got too greedy thinking their bet is a lock. Personally, I never tried betting in politics yet, maybe if our countries election will be available in the sportsbook, that would be the time I'll start betting.

I came here because the title is the topic that makes me curious.
I never bet on politics, I'm really confused about how to bet on politics

How does political betting work?
Are there really sites that provide political bets?
Are there any special countries related to this (politics)

I want to know about political gambling, can this really be profitable?

Bets on politics are rarely on gambling sites only when there is an election by a country. I am not interested in betting on that but betting on politics looks profitable because it only bet on the money line. It would be easy to predict if the election was in your country.

Politics used to be quite popular market in most betting platforms. It is based on political events such as elections, policies, resignations, impeachments, etc. Check through some popular betting sites, I think you will see some.

This is the first time I heard of it and it will be taking some time before the elections in our country take place and I don't think I will be able to see a gambling site that will be doing this kind of betting. Another thing is as far as I know, just recently, our President, President Rodrigo Duterte will have the decision of banning online gambling.

Also me its the first time I heard about it but I think it's only on major things like us president and which sites that accept bets on politics or its  offline

Politics events is pretty rare and last time i bets for my country presidential election several month ago and the results was satisfied me because i won my bets but this is not my habit betting on other events besides sports match and probably this could be my last bets because i'm not too interested on politics

Here in our country, it will not apply to bet on politics, because at the start of the campaign, there are a lot of survey going on, these survey companies spend millions to give the public who are likely to win in the election, so it won't work here in our country, maybe in other countries where there are no surveys being held.

Unfortunately I don't like politics, moreover I have to bet on politics it seems impossible. Indeed, politics can still be predicted and we can still bet on it when there is indeed an election. So, betting on politics is not always available and only at certain times such as presidential elections etc. and you can still bet on sportsbooks, because as far as I know sportsbook provides bets for politics, maybe you can check it another time.

Politics seems predictable but trust me its one of the highly unpredictable thing because different countries have different voting system and different kind of people so the politicians knows how to make them as their leader again even if they never done any goof things for the people betterment.I did bets with my colleagues on some results but its something like fun part nothing more on it.

I never bet on Politics and I came here curious  ;D

Can you inform what gambling websites (trustable) to bet on politics to give us some example?

I know in England there are a lot of gamble houses where you can gamble in everything, but online it's my first time seeing this

With a lot of surveys going around here in our country betting on a politics is out of the questions, in fact, politicians like to commissioned, survey companies to find out if he has a chance to win the election and the results are made public.

It's not a battle between politicians here it's a battle between survey companies on who has the closest results in an election.

Crypto sites aren't very good with odds like that in my experience (which is admittedly a very limited experience).

But big events like Brexit and Trump, you get pretty decent odds if you like the underdog. I remember Brexit was at one time 4/1 on Fairbet and with some promos it was even 6/1. I happened to be in UK at the time and the buzz on the streets was really optimistic for.

I didn't bet though, because I lost earlier on the Scottish referendum. And then imagine how I felt when Trump followed that Brexit upset up with his own victory.

I dunno that betting on politics exceeds their profit on half a million dollars.
I hear rumors about betting on politics but I'm not that interested because of the betting itself manipulating the citizens. Just IMO.
I'm not sure if there was really a betting site for American politics.

I never bet on Politics. Voting for these politicians alone is already a gamble so I do not see the reason why I should still put some money on them. There are already many things to gamble on and adding Politics is just silly.

I have bet on the brexit date a while ago at freebitco.in. (only a few satoshis)

I don't usually do it but that's because I don't make too many bets. I wish I made a bet for brexit voting too. I knew they would vote "yes", just like I knew USA would elect Trump. My track record is pretty good for these stuff.

Only once, it was few years ago when Obama was still the president I remember Trump and Hillary are the only ones who had the most favored odds. I chose trump over Hillary because of some youtube videos about which of them are the lesser evil.  


It depends on the event, sometimes they are predictable if you follow politics. When directbet was still up wetsuit had a huge bet on trump to be the next president.

Sure they do. I would have pocketed a $535,000 pure profit if I had followed through with my $5,000 bet at 108 Odds. Unfortunately I didn't because I was afraid Obama was gonna out rightly rig the election in favor of Hillary.

I'm just curious about this betting thing about this politics since it is rare for me to see it.

I don't know if it is legal to bet to any political people but i never knew it is possible to bet on them.

This is something that is new to me i guess this is how gambling really is, betting everything from insects fight to politics, you name it.

I don't gamble much in terms of politics, but they are considered very much safer than the majority of sports betting happening around the market. We do have a basic understanding of how the political systems happens all over the country and that would be favourable in placing the odds.

UK has been a long term central hub for gambling markets and the Brexit deal would further strengthen the market as a whole. If we are a political gambler, we need to work closely with the population to place better odds which will help us in winning the game of political gambling. People quite often stick with sports and other betting games, since betting on politics require a strong and clear insight on what is currently happening in the country.

Betting on politics is not all that common and besides that excepts on occasion of elections few event can be used to place a bet in politics.
Speaking about election the corruption going on in politics has made it hard because most time the incumbent government  wins

My guess is that you'll only choose between the two politicians running for president. It's entirely depends on a gambling site on which country is the site owner came from. Yes, there is a gambling site that provides political bets but elections won't always happen and i'm sure you know that same as beauty contest gambling like Miss Universe and other beauty contest. It is profitable if you have won your bet.

Maybe it wasn't that profitable since everyone knows who will gonna win because they just have to watch the news and look what's the people's choice. Somehow it might be unfair to some corrupted country who had full control of the media and most of the people are relying only on the news to know more about the politics.

I haven't tried betting on politicians yet but i think it might be some kind of unpopular.

Woow. that is big and hope I can make it also but unfortunately, betting politics hasn't existed in our place and I don't want to place my bet in the other country. Sounds like it is rare and I don't know how it is started to have such a betting game.

It's an extremely interesting bet to be made honestly and some bookies are offering it just for the lulz. There isn't much money pouring on such bets even though the lines are lzucrative and sometimes, huge amounts of profits can be had. The Brexit one perhaps is the last bet I made in politics, although it's already predicted countless of times that we'll be having a No-Deal Brexit, odds at play are still 5x on that obvious outcome alone.

I bet on politics rarely. Mainly because elections isn't such often event, like football matches which happens every day. Another reason why I rarely bet on it - I'm not very familiar with political situation, so I don't want to bet blindly just based on odds. Offcourse, elections in big countries like USA, UK, France, Germany might be a good chance to make some money. These countries get lot of exposure in news media and you can get pretty much good impression aboutvsituation in these countries. I made last my bets on politics so far few months ago. It was elections of president in my country. I won it, but odds weren't impressive.
Another thing - on crypto sportsbooks we rarely can find political events, they're not offering it.

I don't bet on politics because I think that will be more complicated. We need to search for more information about each candidate, which will be too difficult to find if we don't have the sources. Besides that, I think in the bets on politics itself, there will be money inside the election so it will change the result to the opposite, and that will make the candidates cannot win.

But I guess that it will be interesting to watch because I think bets on politics become popular nowadays. I suppose that people want to place their bets online. Perhaps, I will try to looks what kind of politics that I can to try to place the bets, and if I think that I can get the information, perhaps, I will try to bets on politics.

but you can't gamble every day about politics, because the presidential elections, district heads, governors and other reasons don't happen every day. Yeah the risk is lower because we know the chance of the candidates to win the ballot. but my question is, which gambling site offers gambling about politics?

This site updates Election Odds every 5 minutes
https://electionbettingodds.com
I do not know if i would bet on politics but I do know there is a large amount of people who do it

Why not although I'm not into it if the betting is an election coming from countries I'm not familiar with, here in our country people already know who will be the winner because surveys are feeding them before the actual election and surprisingly these survey companies always win, so it's not who will win in our election but who will lead in the surveys.  

Oh really? You can also bet on politics, such as Elections. OMG :o
If this can be, can anyone knows what websites can we do this? Just like sportsbook where you can place your bet.

For example, Presidential elections of every country, anyone already experienced like this? Where you can bet online and tried to use Bitcoin to bet? I'm just afraid of this especially in a different country because vote manipulation is really easy to use especially when those candidates have the power to do it. You can't apply your 'luck here for me, right?

this is new to me, I've never seen or heard betting on political candidates. and I also agree that politics is incredibly predictable and almost anyone can tell who
will win based of statistics and popularity(since that is what most people based on to choose who'll they vote.).  but as we all know there is always an underdog
who might win but that rarely happens.

I don't like betting on Politics. Campaign periods are already nasty for me and joining the bets would only add flare to that.

I wonder if Public Relations of different political camps also bets on these sites.

I cannot imagine a betting site offering odds on politics. Seriously, is there really one?

The farthest I went as far as I can remember was an informal challenge to someone to bet on who'll win the elections or whether a particular candidate is going to make it on the senate slate or not. But so far, no money is released. Everything was only up to fun challenges without an ounce of seriousness.

I think a bet based on politics is going to be a heated and dirty one. Politics in my country brings division from the macro level down to the micro level. I mean, politics could estrange siblings; it divides families. And worse, there are political killings arising out of it.

Betting in politics is mean that you bet on the result of the elections. For example you can bet that Trump will win the elections or not  and same can be bet for your local political parties election in your countries.
Although i do not see this is very much popular among the gambling sites. No gambling site cover the local countries election etc.

I remember way back that OneHash offered this kind of gambling not sure if they are still doing it, betting with it can be much predictable if you have good insight with candidates who are competing the chance to win is much higher if you see the potential of your selected candidate, you can ask support group from the gambling house to open the odd or of they'll going to make this available.

This sounds new to me just like the others here. But, I think, even if I have known politics betting before, I won't place any bet. I just find it hard to see who will win because there are negative talks about politicians here and there and I also find politics a dirty game. I cannot see their genuinity. They might just be playing nice because they want to be in the government. Then once they're in, a different side of them shows up. And with "different," I mean "bad and corrupt" side.

I often bet on politics when I’m hundred percent sure of the results, as politics betting is not easy sometimes you get it wrong too, e.g. I had placed my money on May winning Brexit vote but UK stunned me by voting for Brexit. Then I choose Trump to win because Hillary was projected close to Pakistan, and everyone knows that many influential Indians live there so they would vote for Trump who was seen close to India. There’re various reason why people don’t bet on politics, and one of them I believe is lack of time to research the ever changing ground reality during elections period.

I have never in my life placed a bet on politics. I wanted to bet on Hilary Clinton to win the elections vs Trump a few years ago and we all know how that turned out so it is a good thing that I didn't. For those who like politics and have inside knowledge it can be a good opportunity to make a nice bonus.

This is very interesting, but I'm not a fan of outside local politics as I don't know them and not interested with them.
I like to experience this with our local politics if possible, but only if the betting sites would display an odds for this, I know there's a betting happening especially in big countries like the USA, those trump days has made a lot of winners due to its very big betting odds.

Maybe next election though, I might change my mind if I see a candidate with a big odds like Trump had during the time he ran for president.

Back in 2014 there's a lot of site offers betting on politics such as directbet.eu unfortunately they shut down the business for unknown reason.

These days i only know that betmoose is one of trusted one that offers betting on politics , actually you can bet on anything there , cool isn't it?
Anyways the only politics betting that i ever made is on US presidential election in 2016 , luckily i won with quite huge odds .. thanks to cambridge analytica  ;D .

Politics is probably one of the most easy things to predict if you understand it well enough. I think winning a political bet wouldn't be that hard all if you are not part of the "crowds".

I am not that interested in politics nor political bet unfortunately otherwise my local politics esp is quite easy to predict.
 The Trump/Clinton election is one of the few difficult ones..even though I supported Trump. I missed few obvious factors because I was overwhelmed by hate back then

I just fad betting on political events and even then only local politics. Indeed, the outcome of political events, regional elections for example, can be highly determined by gamblers. Because usually the bettor will also actively participate in gathering support for the figure he is fighting for. But I have never bet on an international event which to me looks very complicated.

Lol even in any form gambling is a gambling and no one assures anything from this so don’t ask question that answerable by you mate.

I a from Asia but in one occasion me and my two buddies comes to the point that we have different likes in presidential election so we mate a betting but unlucky,I lose the bet

But after that I realize that is it really rightful that we bet for the position who will run our country?my answer is “NO” and that never happens again

This was recently taking over the front pages of the popular bitcoin sportsbook and at first I had thought it be a joke when I saw Donald Trump and Hillary Cinton's names on the betslip. I was both surprised and bewildered but then I understood that the casinos had made a cheeky move by putting in some of our top topics of discussions into a betting game. Well it did push the marketing though so nothing to complain from their side and it was taken up by the players so good for them too.

Honestly I found it not worth my time because unlike sports you cannot predict politics. Sports is different and I think most of you will agree.

I agree with you @Alle14, politic or political events are highly predictable though i have never gamble on any political event. With campaign leading to an election we can easily predict who is going to win unlike dice, binary option and lottery that are highly unpredictable.

I remember trying to bet on DirectBet.eu with all politics. I was surprised that there is something related to anything with that in gambling. I wagered some of my BTC with voting on the US President, and I lost because I thought it was Clinton who is going to win.

I liked DirectBet but sad It is gone. The transaction fees will eat Your BTC now though. Lol.

Is their really betting on politics? As far as I know there’s no betting when it comes to politics well atleast in our place, yes it is true that politics can be predictable at times but not all the time and regardless if it’s predictable or not I find it very odd betting on politicians. I can bet on sports or some other games but betting on politicians is out of the list.

Same here thy Politics are not part of gambling And I never heard anyone close to mine made a bet if whos gonna win the election and for me it’s not really appropriate that even the election gonna be involving betting as there’s already so many gambling around the place
That’s why it was called prediction meaning nothings assured but may happen or not
Well if this case turns to be a popularity gambling scene I bet you will take chance as well 🙂

The probability of finding the answer is more in sportbetting because we only have sew options to choose from but it doesn't going to increase our winning factor and I believe lot of unpredictable results were came after the election all over the world in the recent years.

I remember there is a gambling site that offers on this kind of betting in politics who gonna win after the election, it seems so unpredictable but this is very fun because it gives a thrill especially if the result is near to happen. I saw this kind of betting feature before on OneHash gambling site but I did not bet due to I am afraid because I did not know the situation with it comes to US elections, so I am not going to relate.

Some betting sites offer that kind of features when there is an election from the US, but I won't bet on that I'm not an American I don't have a pulse on their election because they have a different voting system compare to us, they vote by regions, not on the number of people that voted them.

I do not bet often on politics, I majorly follow that of my country, Nigeria and other African Nations. Corruption is prevalent in most of the electioneering processes, and the best bet is rarely the best fit for the position.
I also find it morally wrong to canvass for a certain candidate and bet on another, so I'd sit it out.

Betting on politics especially on elections seems like you're not taking it seriously. (For me only, I don't know the others). Since you still have time to bet for it instead of taking it seriously since they're the one who'll lead your country.
And regardless of who'll win, there's always vote rigging happening in my country that's why it's still sucks

There are some gambling sites that offer this kind of betting, they only do US candidates, but I used to vote on local although here in our country, people already who will be the winner because of so many surveys going on, it's not a battle of candidates actually it's also a battle of survey companies, they are making millions from doing this.

Well I had made a few bet on politics in the past as they seem to mostly meet with the sample survey.
The US elections 2016 was quite the opposite. More than 90% of sample surveys provided data that made it look a majority win for Hillary is a sure thing but in reality, Trump won it.
I lost some of my money on that particular bet and after that, most of the sample surveys are being wrong. People are going against the media portrayal and looking for new alternatives which makes political bets much more riskier at the moment.

I know of fairlay providing one of the best odds for political events as they are P2P and if you closely follow the politics and has idea about current sentiments, you can easily have a nice profit with the gambling. As there are hardline supporters, these political bets are never empty as people tend to bet on the candidates they support rather than the one that could probably win.

I believe it’s definitely going to be profitable especially because it’s not very popular and it only for those that are conversant with the happenings around the world. I will not participate if I knew any because such gambling would highly be unpredictable. I know some that happens offline and I remember how a close family member lost his hard earned money in one of the last elections bet that happened in my country. Everyone believed the sitting president was not doing well and would definitely be dethroned but politics can be unpredictable.

I was surprised on how my friend lost his money, we although he would win the bet because we believed the president would not be back on sit. I don’t think politics gambling will be online.

 ::) ::)

Never ever on my life tried on politics betting.Its hard to make some guess on this one because no matter how clear you do able to see a certain candidate that do had the edge.
Anytime it can be changed nor being affected by some factors where chances would tilt on last minute so its risky to make bets.I have seen some bookies offers this but majority of them are fiat based ones afaik.

I am also not interested to involve political betting, politics is the very important this a serious talking how is the right person to handle the very sensitive position from the government. Politics isn't for just fun and never I heard about politics betting site.

The only thing that I don't bet even once in m entire life. I have never engage in this field and I don't have the plan to. It's just it is full of deceit and liars, fake people, back bitting friends and sometimes even family. I could bet all I want in other things not just this and never will.

Never heard of that politics betting. It is so interesting that Presidential or politics betting do exist. How is it possible? Never seen one. If ever some site do that everytime there is a political vote, I may try betting to whom I think will gonna win the position. And for that, I got curious and search in google about it. This website do offer real political bets and other games like esports, etc. https://www.betfair.com/sport/politics

It was back in 2016 on the presidential election of America. My inner mind was wavering the higher odds of Trump, but going through the winning chances and different statistics put forth by different media sources chose Hillary Clinton. If I've gone with my feeling I could've got a big profit as the odds for Trump was more than 5+ times higher.

TBH, I wasn't even aware political betting was a thing. I'll definitely be getting into this on the next presidential election (as long as there is a reputable/legit source for this)

I was aware that there are politics betting around, but politics in not for me though. But since the OP has brought this subject and with the US election next year, I'm sure majority here will like to put a bet  and would follow the US politics for a good number of months. Of course, betting public wants to go with the underdog here, not sure what will be the landscape of US presidential candidates. But if ever I would go and bet, I'm going to go with a good and live underdog here.

I never try to bet on politics because I think it's too difficult for me to choose the right politicians in my country. They will do anything to be the one of selecting candidates and I don't like that. It's better to watch them in the television and wait for the results and it's better to bets on the other things that is interest than to bets on the politics. Besides that, I think the other people in my neighbourhood will not do this too, and they don't have attention to the drama ;D

Now you can make a bet on politicians in other countries, just saying. I never bet on politics cause I believe it`s more rigged than any sport or casino game. Politic is the biggest shit from all the shits in the world, so I never make a bet on them and I never will probably. And one thing is not clear to me, why would anyone bet on politics and wait months for results, or years sometimes, with small odds you need to place a big bet to make some nice amount of money. Better place bet on black or red on roulette and you will have better odds for winning and you will see results much faster.

Not really, but maybe President election usually i bet with my friends. I think it is the easiest way to bet to do because president election in my country usually easy to predicted and people can know who is be president. Maybe in US election, people wrong to predict because Hillary look more famous, but Trump is be winner. But in my country, people usually can know who is the winner although election is not started yet.

I never bet on politics as I think this is something for heavy bettors as politics is more often straight,odds are not that great and you need a lot of money to bet.Also I am not a big fan of politics and that is why betting on politics is irrelevant to me.

I don't bet on politics on the internet, but I made bets with my friends in offline;D

We are making bets on the elections, and there are 5 candidates to be chosen. So we pick one vote for the candidates that we want, and if one of us win, we can take the money. That is interesting for us because we need to know how much percentage each of them to be a win and sometimes, we need to search in the local newspaper or magazine to know about their profile.

Betting on politics is also like betting on events and if its about politics, I can make a lot tons of money because my prediction is mostly right on both the national and the state level in my current country of residence. However, the concern is the availability of platforms on which to do that. Where I am, gambling is legalised although regulated but its mostly for sports platform and its e-sports counterpart other than that, there is no one else be it slot, or dice not to talk of events shaping betting...

I have seen a few of the betting sites that offer politics in addition and one of such is 1xbet. They also provide predictions on various movie series and their possible outcomes. By the way, betting on politics isn't my thing. It's either sports (mostly soccer) or nah!

I have least interest in politics. I consider politics a toxic issue. But it sounds like politics betting is interesting. It is better if people will only treat politics as a way to gamble. That is a fun way of looking at it because, to be honest, politics is nothing but a systematic and constitutional game for the elites and their puppets to fight it out for a few positions. So we better treat it like betting on a horse race.

If you consider that wrong, then you should not gamble at all also because gambling on its own is an immoral act. There are a lot of religion and beliefs that is against gambling but greed and the love of money has blindfolded players.

How do people keep on playing and losing a game but yet won’t give up, and to imagine they spend money is what baffles me the most. I believe there are so many things the money could be used for. I don’t gamble at all, be it on sport sites or politics, as long as it involves risk and money, then count me out. I prefer to trade or invest in bitcoin than to gamble but to be honest, the corruption that surrounds elections is really high especially in the African rejoin.

Well, I did not try to gamble about politics online because this idea did not come up in my mind, well, I also which online site offer such that stuff. I want to try but maybe for the next election in my country. Because I tried to gamble in politics before to bet together with my friends but unfortunately I have lost my 1-week salary on this but at least I enjoy that give thrill and happiness for a while.

Politics is really like gambling you are betting with the fate of your country and knowing who's getting the edge and who's behind them will give a good advantage if you will going to bet on an actual betting sites, it's still unpredictable since it can also be manipulated by those dark horses behind it, politics doesn't have real assurance indeed but you can call it as gambling whether you place a bet it not.

Does it really give some thrill? Risking out your 1 week salary sounds too much for a politics betting and this is the reason why i dont have any interest
on such kind of gamble. Politic selection would really be affected by politics itself which we wont know on whose gonna be elected.Its not literally different to other
gambling but i dont really feel on putting up money on this one.

Taking gambling in its broader sense, politics is indeed gambling. The only difference perhaps is that, with politics, the stakes are too high. The future of the country, the welfare of the people, the whole national economy, etc are what is at stake.

But I think the betting sites find it a little bit awkward. This must be the reason why politics betting is not found in most, if not all, of the major betting sites. On the other hand, I assume there will be a huge inflow of bets with politics. Everybody is somehow involved in it. Moreover, many supporters of political candidates do not easily change views. Most stick to their candidates all the way out.

Anyone here already tried to use Bitcoin on betting politics? It is really much appreciated if a particular gambling website accepts Bitcoin or any cryptocurrencies.

I also want to bet especially for presidential elections for every country (I don't know if a particular website will include all countries presidential elections)
Betting on politics I think is a much lesser risk if you only analyze and gather data (especially surveys), just to remember, even you bet in politics or sports, the risk is still there so if you are afraid, then don't bet a large amount of money you earned, that's all.

I think sportsbet have lines available for this, especially for the US election since it's very this is a big event and for sure a lot of people will bet on it.
Next time when there is a presidential election in the US, we can check if the line is available but I'm pretty sure they have that before.

I tried to search for sportsbet, but this another sportsbet came out, and i was surprise they have the odds already.
I don't know if the site is legit or not, but you can check it out if you like, here's the link

https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/politics/us-politics

Yep, this is really different sportsbet from sportsbet.io that is accepting cryptocurrencies. I also searching gambling websites that are accepting cryptocurrencies that are catering bets on Politics.
But maybe it will soon available on some gambling websites that accepting cryptocurrencies as a particular election is fast approaching? Like months or weeks before the election, they will start adding and start to provides odds.

That’s just your opinion though. For me, I enjoy any kind of gambling as long as there is hope of me making money from it because every gambling game is full of risk even the sports you talk about is even more risky. Is it not better for you to try and loose than not trying at all?

In my opinion, politics gambling is even easier than sports, with politics, you can easily know about the two opponents and predicts whose personality is more accepted and loved by citizens, this can to a great extent determine who would be the winner but this is not the case with sports. You can never know so much about a team to be able to vouch and bet confidently, on sports we only bet based on our  favorite teams or players.

i dont ever tried to bet on politics because i dont see any popular betting site that offers this kind of betting game  . i think this was the only reason on why most people dont do politics bets  .

also  , betting on politics wont be easy as what you think because some  politicians can still win even if they are not really strong enough on the publics eye but as long as they have alot of budget they can just use it to do a pay per vote campaign  like giving people a money to vote for him  .

Every country?! I don't know where you base but you do know that some countries presidential elections are very much manipulated? Right? if you want to really bet on politics, it's best you do it for the country that has high transparency during election.
And don't just conclude that betting in politics in less risky cause politics this days is messed up. Systems are been manipulated nowadays just for personal gain.

 I personally won't even put my money on it.

If we can find a gambling site that offers political betting, I still think people will not participate because politics as you say, it is a very complicated matter, involving many factors in it, and not everyone likes to find information on such sensitive issues. And this may be the reason why there are no political betting sites, it's not popular, people just like focusing on sports betting, because most gamblers are men, and men always like sports, they have certain knowledge, more or less they will still have a chance to win

I am certain that there are people who will bet on this kind of event if this will be offered online, I for one will bet if there is.

I think the odds will be somewhat the same with boxing as we got to know who got the upper hand or the favorite to win. In our country, there is this survey with little percentage of error and you can rely on that one to be the bases of your bet. It is easier to predict on who will win the presidential election here in the Philippines so i don't think online bookies will bite on this one. I just don't know how things work out in the US.

I am already aware on those kinds of manipulation as I also stated it on the second page of the thread:
I am not telling that I will bet on every country, what I want to say is gambling websites that are offering some bets for every country so that I can select which country I want to bet especially on Presidential elections and every election on different countries are not the same day is happening, it is still much better so that we can still analyze the upcoming election for particular country you want to bet in.

We can expect next year by January maybe, because according to the link I shared, the election will be 3/11/2020, so if that line will be live in January, there's still more than 2 months to bet, but it's possible to be live early since the more earlier they accept bet, the higher bets they will get.

Since it's already available in a certain betting site, I'm pretty sure soon, we will see it in our favorite crypto sportsbook.

l known countries all over the world. I am sure if I talked about my country, there are some people that have not heard of the name in years, and it will be hard for such people to win on political gambling.

This is the first time I don’t think bets on politics would be common online because no matter how current a gambler may be, it's difficult to know everything happening around the world and if at all it is online, the only countries involved will be American or China because this are well I am getting to know about politics gambling.

I believe only those who are vast, exposed and current win be able to do well in this aspect and I am obviously not fit for this.

I'm surprised that there are still countries that can manipulate presidential election results, we are in an age of technology, very few countries are doing manual recount because it will take months to finish the counting, each presidential elections spent millions in their campaign, I don't think they want the results manipulated, can you name those countries.

I myself just found out if there are betting sites in politics, usually I only play games and invest it to earn dollars. I personally do not like politics because it is too complicated and a variety of different understandings.

I like politics because it is full of different arguments and ideas, not only that but unites all groups. I like reading political news, I just found out if there are gambling sites about politics that can earn money.

The very country i come from and for reasons best known to me I wouldn't mention her name here, election results are still well and truly manipulated in my country in favor of the incumbent government, most times majority opinion or votes is simply a waste of time.

I've placed bet on election outcomes before, but it wasn't in an online store, it was in a physical betting house in my area of residence, i find it fun to place bets on the outcome of elections though it doesn't always come often as election holds most times every four years(in most countries), and only elections of top countries are up for a bet.

With results really not people driven thanks to vote and result tampering, I wouldn't dare waste money and time on this.

Despite this being mostly speculative without proof, you can tell by the number of displeased voters which narrates the whole truth. Anyway we shall keep away from gambling on politics to avoid backing the wrong horse.

What stops you in betting on Politics? --Cheating in politics. If you have been familiar with these kinds of cheating, then you probably know politics. In politics, desperate politicians will just slash their way out of everything that comes on it. They will cheat if need be since they're desperate. Even though we have digital votings on different countries, they do not care, they can cheat it anyway.

I bet the US presidential election campaign would be the world cup of gambling lol. You could bet your coins over a candidate who runs for president. Speaking about sports betting, I think you have an edge to win the game over the guy who does not have good experience. Sports gambling is kind of thrilling as compared to poker and yes, you can make money in it.

I recall at the last American presidential elections there were sites where you cod be on who would end up being elected as the POTUS with BTC. I wasn't very much into politics at the time and I'm still largely not a fan of politics, but I did place a bet back then and I plan on doing so again in the next election. It's really not something that interests me a lot in the end, and I'd much rather use my betting money on something like CS:GO.

You're in it to try and make money, not to back any politician. And it's not your business to worry about how predictable or not, that is for the bookmakers to worry. Yours is to choose whichever odds you think will be best for you and bet on. Gamblers don't gamble with emotion, they gamble with calculations.

I'm one of those people that doesn't really bet with politics and it's a good question why you're asking we're not into it.

The most common answer that you can hear is that the interest. I have interest in politics but I don't have an interest to gamble and bet with it. I find it odd and interesting but it just doesn't really fit my taste.

I don't know whether bet on politics exist in any of the gambling site though I stand to be corrected by whoever has come across it in the past and have participated in it. If actually such exist then it will the most easiest way to win since it is not that difficult to identify who will win an election and who will lose the election.

Of a truth no betting or gambling sites will take the risk of betting in who wins in elections. It is very easy to know the next president or governor by just analyzing news and political gathering. In my country for the past 5 elections now I can tell the next president, governors, and senator by just reading news and know where people's mind is.

I can tell that you are not gambling in sports or gambling using the sportsbook.
To tell you, there are different odds in election, of course those who are popular and people think will win will be the favorites, and normally, when you bet 100 usd, you don't win equal 100 usd, it's gonna be lower, depending on how popular the candidate is.

Lastly, sportsbook don't loss, they accept bets from different bettors and they balance the bets because they are only after with the commission from the winning bets.

Yes, this is going to be a completely new one which I didn't come across anywhere with the gambling websites. It is very hard to build this type betting website because we don't know a local person who is contesting and from which party they are nominating. Locally people themselves will bet on them by placing money in the intermediate person.

You are so lucky that you didn’t, I have someone that lost his money on that election. It was crazy. We all called Trump a clown and a business man that is not fit to be the president of but then the end result was amazing and today he is doing so well as the president.

I also don’t gamble on politics, it’s quite risky but comes with big rewards, aside the risk, I am not really very good with politics, I don’t even enjoy the discussion but those who are will definitely make money from here. Politics gambling is most definitely among the most played and most profitable gambling, I have close friends that have made money from this gambling and it is impressive.

I think that buying index funds is somehow betting on politics.

For example, when trump won sp500 just went to the moon. Probably Hillary would have crashed sp500, at least in the first months.

I haven't tried betting on it before, mostly coz I live outside America and I can't find anyone to bet with. I haven't really checked if crypto betting sites hold bets for our elections.

@OP that would have taken guts to bet on Trump in 2016 considering most surveys say Hillary would win. But that really would have made you money had you followed through.

Even I never come cross crypto betting on politics, it is completely new one which I have never seen before. Most of the reviews given to Trump in 2016 were completely negative, but finally, Trump won in the 2016 elections. Betting on Politics is really new one to me.

And do you know what's the opening odds for Trump?his odds was 25/1, and those who bet early will get this line.
https://fortune.com/2016/11/09/donald-trump-president-gamble/

There are big time gamblers who loss in election betting also because they were confident that Trump has no chance of winning.
All is written in the article I shared... so now, it's not if we can find that kind of odds, and we will see another upset again.

I almost never bet on politics.
And I think that politics should never be available for betting because when money is involved more corruption comes up and the election result may not be a transparent one.

Why not? Sportsbet.io have been doing this before but I don't know what is the result, there is a lot of gambling online allow to have betting in every election come. To be honest gambling on election day is illegal they supposed to be baned on that day, but it seems online gambling is not manipulated they do what they want. I never tried to bet on that kind of betting games. This coming election probably it will have again on some sportsbook site.

Politics gambling has been around long time ago but not popular like the casinos, dice, polo, sport and the others.
In some countries it might not be played online but between two parties who agree to do it; its mostly offline.
While some countries, it is an open online business . Though, I personally feel the risk is still higher.

I'm not bet too often in politics because the time is very long, but right now I'm placing a bet on the Freebitco.in about "USA - Presidential Election 2020 - Democratic Nominee"...  I think this is very good and I think it's easier to predict who the winner is.

#attention: I'm not doing a promotion  :)

I am from the Philippines so placing a bet on the politics from another country would be hard however here in my country its quite predictable on who will win in politics most specially if its a local election. Go for those that are being endorsed by huge groups that votes in block voting, the chances of winning is big even if the opponent buy votes.

Yes if there wouldbe a site where we could gamble on politics from Philippines we could easily win on our bets.
I hate to admit it but most of our fellow countryman would only vote those who are well known or famous they don't care about the candidates platform or plans as long as the candidate is famous they would vote him/her.

That would be our tips just in case politics betting will start. But it looks too far from happening, people will never consider it to be part of the game and I don't think so. Politics is the dirtiest game ever and I don't see a fair play in here which also be fair for gamblers.
Of course, gamblers will put their bets into the person(as the hint above), and the question is have someone will place their bets to the opponents of the said person? It for sure nobody. Then it seems to be useless if we have these betting.

I have never done political gambling.
In my opinion this is truly unique to do, but who are the strong candidates in this matter. In which countries do the voting now? I do not know the political information here. So, it is difficult for me to try to bet on politics.

Not losing is nothing special in gambling and not worth celebrating, if you say he is lucky not to have played, don’t forget he would have probably won if he did and for the person who lost, I believe there is another day to recover, so you should ever laugh at another player’s misfortune in gambling. I placed a bet on that election also and I lost, it didn’t even affect me in anyway, after all I only gambled what I could spare, there is definitely no way the money would still be there if I didn’t gamble, I would have used it on other things by now.

I gamble on politics anytime there is an opportunity to do so. It doesn’t come often but can be interesting, I am a fan of politics gambling.

It actually exists. I have come across one. I think it is a Blockchain/Ethereum based platform called augur or something. This is their Twitter Handle: https://mobile.twitter.com/AugurProject?p=s
The fiat-based politic gambling probably exists too but I have never come across one myself except the Crypto-based augur. 

That's what happens, because there isn't always about elections which make gambling on politics not always available at all times. So, how often do we gamble on politics I think the answer will not be much different, because this gambling will be available when the election season is in progress so it can be said we are very rarely to gamble in politics and never even.

Politics itself is a game, but not really a game of luck in every country. in advanced countries like the USA and China it is still easier to predict with higher chances after manifesto.well, in some countries like mine where your prediction is right and after election, the winner is deprived of the position.it is very dangerous and violent to go gambling about it. so i don't do it at all.

Now i know why it is not too popular since the election will only happen during the election season. Though i've never done gambling before with these political people during the election but it's still good to know that everywhere gambling did exist for the sake of money. ;D

I am never interested in politics so the question of politics is just out of the question for me.
By the way the idea on gambling on politics is good one and this can be applied on the gambling on the celebrities too.  We can gamble like how much dollars the next Hollywood movie will do the business and  this will be interesting betting option.

There is a pretty big amount being wagered on whether Trump will retain his presidency or not in Fairlay at the moment and these kind of bets are worth looking into, but lots of patience is required. I think Trump will retain his title.

What you mentioned is already available on sites like Bodog. For example, you can vote for the actors that you think will win in the upcoming Primetime Emmy awards.

This is one reason. I think betting in politics should be p2p, physical betting with neighbours .


I think politics is not an everyday, hour, minutes occurrence like games that are frequent. This is a major reason to me. Gamblers bet on happenings even if they are stage managed.

Maybe there will be for 2020 once the Democrats get their lineup fixed. Might bet on Trump. He's definitely not an underdog now but considering the scandals with censorship, that these media companies are actively trying to hinder him, I'm betting that there'll be enough outrage against it that people who aren't particularly fond of him might vote for him, just coz they dislike these tech giants.


What do you mean deprived of the position? Like the winning candidate don't even get to sit or they immediately remove him/her with a coup? If the politics in the country is that intense, I wouldn't be gambling about it. Heck, I'd probably not make my political opinions public and might not even show up at the polls. Stay safe there bud.

I never bet on Politics, I do like betting on "events" such as the Eurovision Song Contest for example and have made some good money there - simply because it cannot be compared to "usual" sports betting and the bookies dont have as much information - value all the way :)

Well, I don't play politics bet because political position is not something that is on a regular basis and in as much as I am a gamblers I only concentrate on the one I know how to do best and not to be jack of all trades and Master of none.

Well you cant bet on the bookie's knowledge that much unless you them personally. I dont but you might be talking about your local bookie, but what I know is that never consider the bookie as less knowledgeable that you because it is a good bluff to get gamblers into betting. A bookie would not open their shop if they were going to lose more.

I would say that political competitions are often biased and logically made. Although the concept of paid winning of politics is not proven in many elections - it will never be so, I feel this is more of a marketing attempt by many casinos than any real excitement of sports betting.

Yeah its a new way to grab people's attention. Last US election cleared so many things. IMO Online marketing means a lot for politician now. political parties can easily spread their agendas through online rather than making seminars on different states. That's the reason why Hillary and Trump were so much active on social medias during last election. Sometime this kinda marketing is really useful and can make a big difference.

I heard politics betting, but I just try it once because I just want to know what is the feeling when you are betting to some people ( like what is the excitement about it and the entertainment that it will give). But like in typical gambling game you are happy when your candidate won, but the worst part is when your candidate doesn't fulfill he/she promises on his/her speech. :)

We haven't seen PredictIt mentioned on this thread yet. They are a politics-only prediction market, for US only, I believe. They have a special permit to run in the US, but there is a maximum stake per user per market (around 500 USD?). No crypto accepted, and no sign-ups for users outside the US, but some pretty liquid markets, and a lot of depth on US politics. Definitely worth browsing.

We're different, there is also a thread inside our local board where everyone can join this kind of betting game, it's a senatorial election by the way, but I refuse to join. Though I know some about politics, I still refuse to bet because of the wide range of candidates, it scares me that I might possibly have a small chance of winning which result to money lose (I really hate losing money because I know the feeling of difficulty earning it).
Even you win few dollars from such game, you are still considered a loser because the candidate you voted is either corruptvor useless at all. *Sigh Sad life, I know what you feel because until now I can't feel our economy is rising.

I already seen this betting things on election few times before in some websites and they are really offering high odds, although I never tried looks interesting to bet especially if you are a US resident because you exactly know who is the leading candidate based on your friends and neighbors and speculations from other locations this is not so popular for now especially to some small countries but time may come it will be one of the most entertaining events we can join especially if they include local politicians based on our locations. 

I think PredictIt is the only place that US residents can bet on politics legally. Nevada books haven't allowed it previously, and I believe that US sportsbooks after PASPA are strictly sports only...for now.

just be honest, I've never been Bet on Politics.
in my country, there are no sites that provide this type of betting.

this is the reason I don't like politics and interests, they will definitely break their promises.

Sometimes betting on a politic just for a fun purpose.

In my country, in 2019 there has some election between Jokowi & Prabowo. One supporter candidate was really over pride for their own candidate and makes me don't really care about the politic. But went the election was started, some betting bet make a Bet Match between this candidate. To be honest for me this its was really funny if i bet against one of this supporter who makes a lot chaos on an election day and my choice was right. That's was really funny.

If you bet on a candidate he will win you will be able to get allot profit. But I personally never bet on politics as i don’t found it invest worthy because of low information. But yes while voting I was happy that  the party I voted for was the winner so next time I will be able to bet but for this I will have to gain allot of knowledge.

Top gambling sites only offer this when there is an election on the country where they have a lot of members like the United States, here in our country it's hard to do betting because if these so many survey site that predicts who will eventually win, and the worse part is they are always correct in their surveys, no local online gambling site will dare set up a bet here.

so which casino does list this kind of betting?
i don't see any right now, politics betting ignites flames in the thread which can be a good promotion for the casino site.  odds like $5k to win half a million however is just not going to make the casino last.  they'd rather close down after the election. i would love to see what kind of things will the users post on threads related to betting on politics.

On which site do you bet on competition like song contest etc ? There may a gambling for the miss universe / Miss USA contests too ? Although I think it will not be easy to predict the winners of such contests but I may try my luck.

I am not sure of all crypto sportsbooks that have politics betting, or specials like Eurivision, etc. But I know that 1xBit have some politics. However, I have never used their sportsbook and cannot make a recommendation about it.

When we launch our Bitcoin betting exchange at exbet.io (http://exbet.io), we intend to offer politics also. Apart from US politics, which country politics do people think would be interesting to offer markets on?

Let see how it would turn out. There use to be directbet which list elections but they are gone now. I wasn't betting on it during that time but I believe they still exist during Trump won. Election in the corrupt countries would really be something to talk about and people are very passionate defending their candidate. Maybe election in South American countries, Middle East and Far East countries. I guess every month will have a battle of candidate here in gambling section.

Wow, very impressive. I just learned this that the stakes in politics are huge.

I left betting in politics only related to the election, apparently there are many more that can be wagered in politics other than the election.

I will try to see more about betting in politics, thank you for the notice.

I never bet on politics but if it's as predictable as some of you are saying maybe I should try.  ::)


There are sites like https://www.betmoose.com/ that allow you to bet on any event. You can already bet on Trump becoming the next president :D

Onehash used to have politics from other countries but I don't know what happened. The only sportsbook I know that currently have politics line available is Fairlay.
Most sportsbook don't have lines available on politics because the election is still few months from now. They usually add these events when it's a few days or a week away.

Some good suggestions there.. in the end I guess it is about making sure there would be enough interest from people to bring enough liquidity to the exbet.io (http://exbet.io) betting exchange. Betfair has a reasonable selection of politics markets, and not just elections based, but also about Brexit at the moment - which month it will happen, if it will happen etc. So there is a lot of potential market subjects apart from pure elections betting.

Brexit is very complicated to understand for someone not from there actually. I'm not from there but what I do know is that changing treaties can take a very long discussion for all the European nations. Passing the law itself is going to take years. I heard brexit years ago, had they already got freedom?  Election has the shorter time period which is good.

It's an excellent point you make. People only rarely want to bet about something that could tke months (or even years) to get a result and possible payout. Ante-Post markets on Superbowl winner, or Champions League winner are about the longest market terms.. and they don't take as much money as people expect, at least not until the last few weeks and months.

However, even with something like Brexit, there are a lot of markets that can be offered which resolve in days or weeks or at least a few months, for example:

- Will UK leave with no-deal by Oct 31st?
- Will the Withdrawal Agreement be passed in UK Parliament (this summer, versions I, II, and III)?
- Will there be a general election in 2019? (not directly Brexit, but related)

The question is, how many bettors are interested in betting on this stuff? Maybe lot sin the UK, but not so many outside...? US politics probably has the biggest interest internationally, and we see this in the fact that Betfair has a lot of US Politics markets despite not being available to people inside the US.

I remember seeing Hillary Clinton at 1.4x odds as next president of the U.S. for the longest time, thinking to myself that was easy money all day long. But I never actually bet on it, and now I'm glad I didn't, of course! Don't think I've ever been so wrong about something in my entire life. That's why I don't bet on politics.

The odd thing was, the site I was looking at didn't even have odds for Donald Trump, just "Republican Candidate." I guess Trump was too much of a wildcard.

Adding dates on the betting statement would indeed make it better, everything is unsure of course. But for a politically updated person, they know about lobbying. No-deal is mostly what they'd do here. Pretty obvious EU is making sure that consequences is very real for United Kingdom. You'd rather be sticking to elections.

if you have a good feeling on it , you should follow it because there is a good chance that it will come out and besides if it comes out and you dont place a bet , you will only feel bad inside but if you place a bet , win or loose you wont feel bad at all because you already follow what your mind says to you  .  we should often bet on politics so that we can be more familiarize with it   . politics is really interesting , we should support it so that many sites will open politic betting

Yes, problem is, the more precise you make the bet with dates, the more you risk it becoming uninteresting (too precise, too hard to have an opinion) for people. It's kind of like Player Props... # of passing touchdowns for Tom Brady in Superbowl is interesting to a lot of people. But # of penalty flags thrown on cornerback X in some mid-season game is less interesting.

I have never bet in politics. Because I really don't understand politics. So, it is very difficult to bet there.
Though many say betting in politics is very easy and can be profitable. I don't believe it's easy, for me it's easier to gamble dice or poker.

^ Which part that you don't understand? Just give a try because that was very exciting and give a thrill whos gonna will win at the end. Well, the first time I bet on politics was last 2016. During the presidential election in my country. I bet 5 thousand dollars because I get mad when there is someone who will discriminate my favorite presidentiable so fortunately my presidentiable won the election and he is the president of my country now. Nevertheless, I also earn from it and I feel so happy.

I think that particular election had the highest number of gambling participants. Everyone taught it was a very good chance of making money, no one saw Trump coming at all. I had a bet on it, though not an online bet, but it involved a whole lot of money and I lost.

I don’t have regrets anyway because I understand that gambling is just that way and the worse thing with that bet, was the way everyone believed the election would be in favor of Hillary Clinton.

I don’t bet very of often, I only participated in the election between Trump and Hilary and that was my first and last bet on politics.

Do we really have a lot of people here who bet for politics?

Sorry in our community this is not usual because the truth is we really don’t care about whom will be the winner because same thing happens every elections and that is corruption will be in position in the end

Maybe not unless the betting will be for the abolishment of politicians?Or politics? I will surely bet half of my funds

My case is also alike like at times the good candidates or party loses and others win . This just goes beyond thinking and in many countries where manual votes are taken into consideration their is high chances of manipulation happening internally .

The surveys are usually right if those surveyed end up coming out to vote. I guess the surveys can be wrong if the losing side in survey succeeds in persuading many of his/her fans to vote... This is probably why the surveys are important to politicians and their supporters.

Once I bet on politic but tt was not a popular event because it was a Local Leaders Election and I bet on it against friends. Frankly speaking, I'm not really interested to bet on such Politics thing because there are still many chances of manipulation that may happen during the events. I also feel that there is no thrills when betting on politics so it does not attract me at all to bet on political events.

Thats right, especially if you are in a poor country with a very high level of corruption, electoral vote manipulation is common, political position is only for people who have big money, sometimes you see good people who lose in elections because they don't have money to bribe the electoral council, I don't really like this kind of gambling.

Yeah but what importance does it have to gamblers? You are not given the information publicly or even if you are given by that time the betting time is over. You can talk about an exitpoll but that too the bookies are aware of and they will end betting much before the real election starts. So I would say its more of a speculation and luck based. Its is definitely possible that your supported member wins but the opposite is also possible.

This is why people should avoid betting on events. Its same as EV- games.

Except the US Presidential election that is due to be held next year, I do not think people are interested in betting on politics. Since it is not a frequent thing to have elections. The interest level in politics gambling can only happen when the election is due for a particular country or a particular leader. In this case, it is the US and Donald trump that interest the world of gamblers. 

You may be right on this. US politics is very special in that it has a well-established format (Presidential election every four years, 2 parties only, long and structured primaries), that it has the dominant culture in the world today, and that it has been a highly televised event for decades (leading to very entertinment-friendly stagings and drama).

No other land comes close on those counts, but we still think there is the possibility for betting around wider politics questions. Agreed though that the market has a lot of maturing to do.

Actually, in the exbet.io beta which is currently running, we have set up some Politics markets, for more info check out beta.exbet.io (http://beta.exbet.io) or see the specific message on our bitcointalk thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5187610.msg52702728#msg52702728 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5187610.msg52702728#msg52702728)

people rarely bet on politics since they are not done regularly but once in 3 or 5 years depending on a country's laws

I wonder how the odds will be like, cause I believe the outcome sometime with inside information can be predictable, also in military and autocratic system of government, the system is so corrupt and outcomes are enforced. Some outcomes can also be changed as a rich gambler with political influence, such will be in big tune of money to win.

I used to bet on politics back in those days until I lost in a bet typically because of electoral malpractices. My country is one of the worst country that elect leaders based on their wealth or sometimes bases on their influence. Having such a worst political platform will not encouraged gamblers to get involved in the game of betting. There  is no way you will be able to predict my country political elites when it come to politics.

nowadays politics are now getting tough because the politics are now using new technologies that can fight manipulation.  if the candicate is good , he/she have a higher chance of winning .

 i have some  interest on politics and id be happy to try gambling related to it because i do also feel bored playing the usual type of gambling

any good sites you can recomend me guys ?

You should have speak for your country and not generally mate. Many countries are still in bondage when it come to technology, how can such a country be free from malpractices, either in political sectors or otherwise. My country have been using technology for elections but still yet, ring their electoral process everytime they wanted.
My country is corrupt and won't allow free and fair elections in the country.

looking at it critically there is no country without her politics, some are just good with covering it. USA in recent months had exposed a lot of their gimmicks.

I never heard about betting on politics before. Are there any crypto gambling websites that allow such betting. I'd love to place a bet on Trump's impeachment date ;D.

Betting on politics isn't popular in my place that's why I don't have interest to it although I see bookmakers have it.

I think onehash always list these kinds of election. Base on their archives, they always have it.

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

USA is #1 imho when it comes to these gimmicks or politics betting where even on the slightest minimal issue would really have that corresponding odds.

Just like on that recent Whistleblower betting odds which I cant really believe that these small things can really possible to have some bets on how you do look at it.hehe
Overall about the question if I do bet out these things then I shall say that I don't usually engage on things that can be politically influenced.  ;D

I never knew that even politics is betted on in a betting platform. This seems to be easier to speculate than betting in a sports event since you can easily gauge who has better chance of winning depending on how people support a center candidate.

It does and it's been happening already, check those links that were provided. Yeah, democrats vs. republicans, opposition vs. administration, you can easily know who's going to win but still it's all about the result of election and just like in a basketball game or any game, an unexpsected result can also come.

I try once betting on politics but only in my friends when the presidential election here we talking who gonna win. And that time we talk that i go for president Duterte i bet only 1000 php we are 3 so the betting start when the time is they count who gonna win. Then i won for that and my friends lose. Maybe my winning stats that time is 80%

I have never place a bet on politics, I think it is kinda difficult to predict and the odds might not be much to stake on, if the odds are much it would have attract more people to gamble on,  I wish to place a bet on it though

I think politics is a very nasty business! It is a place where there is no cap to your earnings and no cap to your power only all you need to do is influence people with your words. I see betting on politics as really excellent way to create money. Because generally results can be quite predictable therefore proving people with enough opportunity to earn money.

I won’t be asking too much if I ask for the name of your country right? Because it sounds likes one of the African countries I know that are known for the highest rate of corruption. All countries are corrupt but some countries are extremely corrupt and they make life really difficult for their citizens. You can imagine the fear of gambling because of the fear of manipulation.

I don’t gamble on politics because it doesn't occur regularly, and I am not even into politics, definitely going to play on politics gambling is like a deliberate act to go and throw away money. I have only tried gambling on politics once and I didn’t regret losing the money because I knew I would loose of course. The game is for those who are current with political happenings.

but have you bet on politics as it was the question posted by OP?

---

well i'm not because i use to believe that politics are a dirty place to live,i have known politicians in my life and at first they are generous and responsive but as time goes by all they care is the Money that offers by constituents in exchange for favors

i will choose to gamble here online or in live casino than betting in politicians

The last time I bet  related to politics was in USA president election. that was Hillary vs Trump 3 years ago and i lost lol
did you bet on that too? By the way which gambling website provides political bets like this that you used to bet on?

Very hilarious, Trump is not really as bad as he is been portrayed on the news, You should be grateful for having such great personality for a president. The first time I ever voted on politics was during the time of his election with Hillary Clinton, I never knew he would win the election and my favorite candidate lost it, it was from that moment I vowed never to play games on politics because it is really highly unpredictable.

If I could turn back the hands of time, I would choose trump as my best candidate and I probably won’t have lost my money. Note, please do yourself good, stop wising that my president Trump would be impeached because that will be a wish that would never come to pass.

I'm also looking for a gambling site to gamble in politics. I just want to put a little amount of bet in there you know just wanted to try. With the gambling on politics, I'm just gambling personally with my friends. Good to see if there could be sites to see.

Last time I made a bet on politics on the old sportsbet site, now they are changing the look of the site. And I've been looking for it there and I didn't find a bet about the upcoming USA presidential election. I will ask about this to them.

I went through cloudbet, sportsbet and Onehash. These gambling houses haven't added any of the special events to the list. May be this can get added when it gets close to the days of presidential election. Right now under the special event section Nobel Prize winner prediction was seen in the archived format. Sometimes in our gambling board too users conduct contests with the help of escrow.

I am not interested in politics at all...so I also don't bet in that shady political stuff.
Never even opened a bookie to check odds for some elections.

This is a first to me.

I mean not gambling but hearing this type of gambling.

I never thought people are even betting on politics. You know since in our country, there is a lot of vote-buying that is happening and I can't trust the election to be a clean one, I guess that is the same with other countries and they still on bet on it?

I am not aware that it is possible to bet on politics. Normally, what I bet are on e-sports, casinos, and sports but I never encountered anyone about betting about politics but it seems predictable and relatively easier especially if you are aware of the current events.

I would love to have the opportunity to at least try to bet on our politics (in the Philippines) and would like to know if there are anyone interested in such.


Politics are all about connection and news. If you are aware of the current events (or if you have any connections inside!), then this may give you an edge against your opponents. Unlike gambling in casinos, politics heavily rely on data about the people but this is also subject to manipulation caused by the very politicians themselves, which makes it uniquely interesting!

Same like you I think that betting on shady political stuff is a crazy thing to do. Generally I don't like those bets that I need to wait for months to see the results, winner of this competition or that. On favorites odds are so small, to make some nice money you need to place higher bets, to bet on underdogs is crazy. I saw some crazy things, like will a Beckham son get into football and play for national team? I don't remember the odds for that, there are even crazier things to bet on. I like to see odds, but I never placed a bet on this kind of betting, its not for me.

As long as people can make odds there is always a form of gambling. But this form of gambling can be manipulated by having a vote-buying.
During election day here in my country, people are expecting money from those Politics candidates. And also you can be analyzed who will gonna win if the opponent doesn't have much money. There will always an underdog during every election day.

I am not fan betting on politic.
That is hard i think, we need much information about politic news.
I ever bet politic when Trump vs Clinton. You know majority people will choose Clinton. But i am taking risk choose Trump. But the weird, Trump is win. So i get so much profit from it. That is only for fun after that i never bet on politic  :D

On the contrary, betting on politics is the most unpredictable kind of game. I am sure you have no idea what betting on politics could be like, if you did, you would understand better. I hate to bet on politics because I know the nature of the game, it can be deceitful and as well confusing and coupled with the fact it doesn't come very often like other games makes it even more discouraging.

In my opinion, there are numerous numbers of very high standard and interesting casino games to really play than for anyone to start wasting time, efforts money on politics betting. It doesn't give any privilege to earn money, rather it takes money away from players which some even end up leading to argument if it is physical own.

I am not aware of these kind of betting were available on gambling sites,only had these kind of bets with my friends and that's only just for fun.This kind of gambling can be highly predictable then how those sites were surviving while having this?

No but some people do this they get every year bet on politics but it’s hardly risky as you don’t know which candidate is going to get huge amount of voting but most of time people who are expert use to win. Those who bet on politics will have to get information first about it then bet about his win Or lose. Better avoid if you don’t have idea about betting.

There are bettors so it's up to them on how they survive. They are not focusing on this kind of betting but it's just an additional option for their customers to bet on.
I think it's sustainable on their side providing some other interesting events that they can bet on like politics.

IMO it's easier to bet on politics than an NBA game.

I am sure you know you actually asked for so much by wanting to know the name of the country and if you ask me, there are a lot of corrupt countries not limited to African, and also I don’t really understand how a country's corruption affects the result of gamblers.

Politics gambling for me is the most interesting one ever, might not really be coming often but the profit received when won is always worth the risk involved in the game. I don’t play it very often because it’s not a regular game but whenever there is an opportunity to play, it is always worth the game but it’s just quite painful that politics gambling is not like others that are regular and consistent.

In my opinion the profits are the same as for other gambling. In gambling, the profits received are always directly proportional to the risks received and inversely proportional to the opportunities that are received where when we want a big profit then we must accept with a small opportunity. I myself do not like political gambling because it is difficult to predict, there are too many dirty games there because when I play gambling I will side with the team where I like it.

I don't gamble often but when I do, I usually bet on the stupidity of the politicians and so far I was mostly right. You can't go wrong with that strategy. If there is a possibility for things to go worse, it does. I wish I wagered more though. Trump election and the Brexit voting alone would have made me rich.

i did once in the recent national election when a constituent asked me to help his friends candidacy who's running for Mayoralty Position things that i don't usually do because i preferred to be private most of the time though i have influence in our society

so the thing is i spend good amount of money hoping that his friend will do more better than the previous .luckily that Man is doing great and serving the people fairly hope that this will continue till the next terms

I am interested but I haven't experienced it. I remember during President Trump's election. He was a big underdog because the media is too bias on Hillary Clinton. The election was close but the odds are seeing it differently. I was surprised too when Trump was leading in the last quarter of the results and was few hours later he made a safe margin.

Another partly political issue now. Is Britain really heading to Brexit or these delays will lead into readmission to EU?

That is the million dollar question! We suspect that the recent "progress" f the past few days will show itself to be a charade by the UK government so that they can blame the EU when talks break down. And the EU is also playing the game, 'engaging' up until the last minute despite knowing that talks are unlikely to go anywhere.

After (if) talks break down... who knows. There will be more drama as UK government tries to leave in a no deal Brexit.. court appeals and protests etc etc. But the most likely is a 3 month extension and election just before Xmas.

We're looking forward to following the drama with some topical markets when exbet.io (http://exbet.io) goes live later this year.

Yes, politics may seem predictable because they have like polls every now and then but I don’t normally bet on politicians, the only time that I made a bet on politics is on Clinton and Trump but unfortunately I lose because I bet on Clinton. I though it’s a sure win because Clinton appears to be a very strong competitor but in the end it’s Trump. Anyways, I only did it just for fun and because my friend encourage me to do the betting.

The first time I bet on politics I lost. And Donald Trump won. The last time I bet on politics, I lost again. Borris is the new PM of the british.
So you can say that I do not often bet on politics but when i do, I lose mostly

welcome to gambling world mate ..you must used to it specially in politics that only ave few choices,just take it an advantage compared in betting in casinos or in online.
imagine dice has small percentage of bringing you win,but in politics sometimes its 50-50 chances only

so you both losses at the same time?what a coincidence ?next time don't just go with the majority but do your own assessment of how a politician may win

I will apply this question to our local politics, yes and no, people here do not bet on who will win the presidential and vice-presidential because the surveys here already provide us who will likely win in the race, and most of the time these surveys are all correct, we only bet on senator on who will get in last because this is always a source of controversy and excitement, we bet on 12 senators on every election and the 11 and 12 places are what people are betting.

I don't really bet on Politics mostly because they happen only so rarely. Like once in a year or two you get to bet for which party to come to power. Politics are more predictable than other events, but in my opinion being able to bet on them just adds more opportunity for corruption and influence power for the media. I think we are all aware that behind sports betting is a big mafia/group that makes some "hits" from time to time, if you know what I mean.

I'm fully aware on which country you do live in  ;D Surveys would really be on high chances to be accurate and same on my place too where these betting types doesn't exist due to that same reason where theres a survey and its clear on whose gonna win.Dont know about that last 11-12 senator though.

Generally, I don't like to bet on politics because you cant be sure on what would be the circumstances that would happen along the way specially on the last hour.
Yes,its gamble but I don't like the feels into this field.

I would expand the topic by types of betting on social and cultural events (e.g Oscars or the Eurovision song contest). Bookmakers in my country every year expand the list of exotic events and that`s a good marketing. As for me I bet the last time on political outcomes a few years ago but I don`t do it anymore because of high risky external factors that may happen.
I really like this kind of events in bookmakers line because it gives me a lot of infromation about social mood of the people.

People do bet on politics and that too not with small amount of money. This is done with huge lots of money because politics is a dirty game of power and money. Those who are involved in this kind of bets are the ones who have close relations with parties in power and they have more knowledge than layman about election results.

When at a place a person win because of luck or whatever but people also start doing with out knowing the skill behind winning it. Better make your own skills and just work on what you do then you will be able to have same benefit other wise the thing happened to them will happen to us that’s why you should know the position of every politician.

They don't understand politics, they don't gamble and there are not many casinos who take betting on politics.

Same thoughts here. The surveys conducted will surely help a lot on those who wants to bet on politicians. Based on my observation here in our country, the surveys are almost 80-90% accurate (though I'm not really sure about that number. It's a mere estimate.) Those politicians who are favored by the people on survey are usually the  ones who win at the election.

Though it could be predicted with the poll's and survey's help, I don't bet on politics. I just don't feel like betting on something which can be manipulated at some point since there are news of cheating every now and then in this dirty game.

I never bet on politics. It's too risky. Because if you don't know about politics, you will lose. Again, many times it is already clear who will win the next elections in many countries. Many times everyone thinks that this team will win, then the opposite happens. Overall, it's a high risky thing.

Yes, if it is like that. You will have the idea on who's the candidate that has a stronger call for its citizens. The majority will have the say and if you're following the politics that's on the list, well you're on the good timing to bet.

I don't think that it's too risky as you describe. Let's say that there are 5 candidates but you will see that 2 of them to go at the top then from the remaining two, that will be the time that you have to choose from any of them.

Actually, in my view, it is not risky if you know who's many supporters you can bet who is the highest votes. I tried once betting on a national politics it’s not online site since I can’t find doing betting for a politics it’s just a bet with individual. If you are updated with the news and survey about the politicians candidates you will have an idea who to vote, so it is not a risky thing.

That will be different if you have much information about each candidate so you can find which candidate has a big chance to win the election. But I think the betting is not for all countries and it for some election that is happening in a big country. You can try to bet on that election, but make sure you know what to choose, and you have all the information about the candidates.

But I never bet on politics as you because I cannot find better information, so I skip that bet. I prefer to play other gambling games than betting on politics. As long as we can manage the risk, we will not be losing too much money like others.

But if you will not analyze and listen very carefully to the pulse of the mass, you might fail as well because private companies which present surveys are seems like misguiding us on choosing the right one. As you may noticed, Pulse Asia and SWS surveys are redirecting us into a candidate which we can't believe got higher percentage than the expected bet of the majority. I am not sure whether they are paid to "promote" such candidates or not but who knows? What only we can do is become wise and don't get easily blinded by flowery words.

For some reason this bet is very difficult for me to do.
I do not really understand about politics in the world except in the local area, it's just how to work on this political stakes. I want to try, but where to start. And one more thing, if you bet. Are fellow users or gambling sites available.

People definitely always get the idea before elections that which party is going to win the game. But there is a huge lot of people who still are not aware of the games played by political party and if they bet on politics, may be they can give gambling some profit. But as you said, people do not find betting on politics interesting.

Betting on politics is for those who are involved in politics somehow or have certain sources of secret information. Politics is dirty games all over the world and politicians are always making all of us fool. We shall not be betting on politics if we have poor knowledge regarding it. Never ever rely on your gut feelings regarding politics.

I have thought about it but it's just too slow and unthrilling to wait or watch. I like the rush i got from betting when i watch a good boxing match, but when i try to watch old men insulting each other on the stage and wait for polls, it doesn't do anything for me.

As I've mentioned, someone who's aware of the politics in their country can determine it easily. The mass, everything there you are aware of that's why betting on politics will be easier for you. Because you have resources that you can look up to and depend on if you're about to bet on it. Those surveys you've mentioned won't operate if they don't have a source of income, they gather information and at the same time payments from a company or individual that asks them to conduct survey.

A very biased thing to say. How on earth can you possibly know which party will win when both of them have equal chances of winning? Not every country is corrupted and you may support one team does not necessarily mean that team will win.

Yes, the bookies will be earning a good amount. Its like throwing stones in the dark and not similar to just any other EV+ game like sports betting where you have to do some research. So bookies have somewhat an advantage here.

Looking at the number of bets on sports betting sites that the Trump VS Hillary poll was, I would say they are very interested.

And in addition, platforms that utilizes gambling on politics isn't really easy to find. Most common gambling platforms are for casinos, games and sports. But in terms of politics, if I encountered one during election, I might try it as I see, people have connections, and I might understand the scenario to use it to predict who will win the election campaign, in short, It is an easy win, mostly if the choices is few.

I agree to these points and as said each country doesnt really have similarities from time to time when it comes to politics/government
matters where as said that you wouldnt even able to assure that the said part would definitely win because you had just saw that its
being supported by many? Its a big factor though but not an assurance thing for you to rely.

Betting on politics is somehow had higher risk rather than playing on typical sports bet.Bookies do tend to run up these list
because they know that they can heavily benefit from it and also interest of people on betting to these events is pretty high.

I agree with your point of view. Betting on political events is a fun way to bet and I think it's often easier to win compared with sport betting.
But unfortunately bookmakers are more prone to offer sport betting than politics one. So it's not easy to find a reliable bookmaker for doing that.

I agree with you. Politics is a place where the most dirty things happen. Politicians make the opposite of everyone's way. I have seen many, previous election surveys fail very badly. If I had bet based on this survey, I would have lost a lot. That is why I do not gamble in politics.

I gave up on US stocks since Trump went nuts in a trade war with the Chinese because one Tweet from him can devastate the markets in a few minutes... let alone gambling around politics!
That's a no-no! Too unpredictable.

For me it is not so easy to bet on politics because it needs special kind of skill to earn your bet. People like you use to enjoy it but I am totally surprises to see that how people earns in something that have no idea about. Politics is all about predictions and people's idea about the candidate that either they will vote or not so it’s not easy.

Yeah, I also don't still try a bet on politics, it is also good to try with some, I just don't know that there is one. HAHA! because I am really not an addicted one because if I am, for sure I know most of all gambling online site. I also think that it is more slightly difficult to predict than to play what I use to.

Well if we are not having knowledge about something and we know it’s hard to gain money from it then we should avoid such activities and I am not only talking about you but I myself never bet on politics until I become an expert to bet some of my friends told me to try that’s why I keep my eyes on daily news related to politics but I am not an addicted one  same as you.

It's not really that hard though as it mostly involves in you betting for a candidate who you think will win.
One site I know that does it right is https://www.betfair.com/sport/politics  it works mostly for country like the UK and USA.
However, you need to ask yourself if you really want to do it. I feel politics betting is easily manipulated though.

but you dont need to understand the politics literally just to make a bet and you dont even need to learn politics the whole world mate,what you need to do is watch international News just to be updated whats happening between countries after another countries but the focus must be in your local government because thats what will affect you.
but since this is about betting this is also not talking about the whole world instead if you come to bet in political issue,either you bet against a friend if who is going to win in a certain position or you gamble to provide resources for a certain politician.thats what the topic is all about IMO

We agree that Betfair does a pretty good job. Also PredictIt.

Here at exbet.io (http://exbet.io) we also hope to be offering a broad selection of Politics markets when we launch.

But we are intrigued... when you say that "politics betting is easily manipulated"... can you give some examples?

This post makes me curious as i have never heard of political gambling. I feel finding the odds in politics is relatively easier and can help stay positive when gambling. I am not really sure about betting platform which deal in such portfolio of gambling but i will come back to this post when i come to know about one , maybe around next state elections in my country which are scheduled for next month

It can be a manipulated one as many things depend upon money and more you give higher the chances that people might even vote for them . Or with some settings and have some power they can change the result as well though not always possible but in some countries it might be possible .

Thank you for the site suggestion.
After I saw it, I was really confused about the gambling site. And if I do it maybe I will do it with feeling without knowledge and that's certainly not a good idea when betting.

Betting on politics is same as betting without knowledge. ;D

Its more like a, "I support this nominee, so they will win" situation and definitely not something that you do for money but for fun and time pass. I mean votes are basically a showoff, its already decided who is going to win even though common people would not know it. In some countries voting is so much rigged than most people dont even go for voting.

So its like a fixed sports match and you dont even have any idea whom to bet on. Its better to avoid it, in my opinion.
 

I agree with you that we should avoid betting like this, but in my opinion not all countries cheat when voting. There are still many countries that are fairly fair in voting, in my country the voting is done in realtime with witnesses from both parties and if there is cheat, surely only certain individuals are carried out in some areas. But so far I don't recommend politics to be used as a gambling match.

I'm not seeing any advantage in betting on politics because like any other sport event, the results of any politics and its election results also highly unpredictable which makes betting on politics is not my favorite one. I know some people are sharing by analyzing the trend among common people we can easily predict a winner of an election but it is not in that case in my country because I cannot openly find out who are all favorable among common people in my country.

At the same time, it will be much easier for me to predict few sport events because I'm able to analyse the skill of a player and a team. This is the reason I'm simply avoiding betting on politics.

Actually politics is a bit predictable gamble. Very less often you would see a total turnaround in the table and some unexpected result that's why political gambling can be boring. Moreover you don't get a lot of chances to gamble on politics as there aren't elections happening around everyday. But yes I think trump winning was still a pretty big surprise as not a lot of people liked Trump winning also for the most of the time during counting Hillary was far way ahead so maybe politics can be a bit uncertain too.

Augur (https://www.augur.net), the decentralized gambling platform allow to gamble on politics with cryptos. Freebitcoin (https://freebitco.in) the famous faucet, is also offering bets on politics.But I think there are some others, so it would be great if you or someone else could list them here.

Exactly its not really a good idea to gamble without knowledge but it’s good to gamble without feelings. Those who think too much and take stress about the win and lose will suffer. Better play gambling when you become completely sure about the reality of the website if you stuck with the fake sites it will make you lose instead of winning and to bet in politics it needs high-quality knowledge.

I don't really bet on politics cause I don't see it as a game we could just play. It's our own economy we're talking about. When it comes to politics, I'm more into who could make changes in my country. Although at some point, it's obvious who would likely to win based o their popularity on stats but that's not the case... Call me a killjoy but I just don't feel like betting on things should be taken seriously. And one thing is that we never know who will win. Sometimes those who seem to be obviously won are the one who loses since cheating are rampant in elections

Didn't realize you could earn big with betting on politics. It probably never crossed my mind because it feels like there is something so wrong about betting on politicians. It's like betting on the fate of an entire country.

Some may say it's unethical and i tend to agree, but when you think about it i surely hope that these political bets don't affect the outcome of the polls.

That's really funny. Politics barely has anything to do with changes in the country. if you want to do that start with yourself. Most of the time, it's entertainment. Politicians are mostly old guys trying hoard money that they can't take with them when they die. Politics is a very corrupt system that would only drag you down if you take it seriously. Elections are a very good topic for gambing. Won quite a lot of bets that way.

No country is devoid of corruption. The voting system exists to please something called "democratic demand" from public - its makes the common people think that their opinions matter and so they feel happy. It is actually a false hope because everything going on in politics is not to be known completely by common people. But if you feel your county voting is fair enough then you should go for betting on the side you feel is going to win.

People like it so casinos list it. ;D

in my country there is no gossip on politicians, nor have I heard anyone gamble on politicians.
and I don't think you have to bet, because it's really stupid.
you can easily take the poll you voted for and know the results in advance if you are interested. I mean I don't know how such gambling works, whether you bet the winner of the election, or something else, but it doesn't sound tempting or I care.

rarely make bets on politics, because I don't really like it. anyways I also don't know anything about politics outside my country. it's better to bet on sports and e-sports than to bet on politics that make me dizzy.

Politics betting isn't really a thing here in my country but I think I had done it before with my family members.
But it isn't really a big bet it was just a small bets with food and other stuff like chores.
But if there would be a site that would host such thing I think it would be a good one to change the old fashion betting where we only focus on sports and other famous things.

Actually I'm not usually betting on politics because world of politics was very huge and very hard. In politics the money is the most essential value and money is the only one who are controlling the revolving of the politics, if you guys know what I mean. Politics in which money is the most involved then it can happen anything impossible like winning the most underdog in the campaign and etc. so it is very hard to bet on politics that's why I don't really bet on it, and if I bet on politics it is very often.

actually its not that way on whos OP is asking,what i believe is that putting money for politicians if they will win the seats or not,or i am missing something.

because my father use to help politicians in their campaign and if they won so my father will ask many favor that they wont resist and thats the betting i am thinking.
so thats really a family betting because even shores is part of the bets?cool lol hahaha

I'm also into e-sports and different sports but just to add twist to your betting journey, you should try the other game around.

And the perfect example of it is with politics betting, it's fun to be honest but you should only bet to those elections that you have an idea what's going on that country. If not, don't bet as if you're just wasting your money.

I also don’t like to bet on politics because I don’t watch the news and having very low information about country daily political news. I try to learn about it but it’s hard to understand something when you don’t know anything about it. I personally want to bet on sports and gamble with games but when my friends support me I will bet on politics too.

Politics seems to be one of the hardest way on prediction on who will win because as we can see in the internet and also in the news there are many research or studies that varies about the percentage of the said places on who are the most strongest and competitive politician in the area, in which we really don't know who are having the greatest votes and etc. Actually it is very often for me to bet on politics because I don't really want to bet on it because it is just I am betting on who will win to the position on who will be the leader of my country and etc. it is likely you are just betting on who will be the winner that will be the one who will lead and be the superior of your area or country.

You see the thing differently. As I've said, it's not about the cheap games of the gov't and if you don't know what's the true score of that gov't then don't bet on that election.

I have always been limited to sports only, and I am not very good at sports, but I have friends who help me with advice.
But politics is quite a familiar and predictable thing for me, although I have never relied on political events.
Now I’m even curious how much my predictions in politics will be true in the future. Perhaps I will seize the opportunity and try to make several bets on upcoming events.

I like to bet on political events because I used to have a big interest in politics in the past, and some knowledge still remains. Also, if it's about something almost absolutely new to me, I don't mind learning new facts about other countries. Like it or not, politics is a part of our life, in a sense that it affects our lives directly or indirectly. So, I think if we can learn something from this field, even just in order to have better chances of winning a bet, it won't hurt.

Be cautious and gamble with only extra money which you can afford to lose . Politics in many countries are unpredictable as people change the entire scenario where the probable who might win does not win , at times money also play vital role in politics.

Even with little to no interest, a person can easily predict the outcomes of elections. In case of Trump, everyone knew beforehand that he would become the next president of America. Same goes for Modi of the India. His election result was already predicted with hundred percent accuracy. Its neighbor, Pakistan is no different. One can predict its own government more easily than others. However, this is a rare type of betting.

It is not a good way of gambling in politics.
Politics can affect your life based on the elected politician. If you make a bet on someone then you are emotionally bonded with this choice and your brain might be affected and make the wrong choice when you vote because you make the bet on this politician. Those two decisions that you have to do should be separated with each other.

Before that election Hillary Clinton was widely published that she is going to win the election the odds does not favor trump that is why he has a higher odd however and surprisingly Trump won personally I never consider him him winning that election, I believed gamblers prefers staking or betting on daily basis rather than a longer term betting synonymous with politics and losing such a bet in politic despite waiting so long for the outcome of an election would be very disappointing not encouraging when there are diverse aspects of betting.

There is nothing like extra money in this world. Every single penny that is earned after hardships has its own importance. A person who has spend a big portion of his daily time in getting that money wont call it extra. Betting amounts in gambling should be only that much which when lost wont harm the financial health of a gambler. It should just keep him away from poverty in all cases.

C'mon, you can't be serious. Do you really think that your vote makes a difference? Yes, various political parties say that before every election, but what they want to achieve with that is to attract hundreds of thousands new voters to polling stations, the voters who would otherwise skip the elections. One vote, or even a hundred votes, can hardly make a difference unless it's the election of the school president.

When betting on politics, I prefer the way I've learned from other political bettors: if a politician you don't like has big chances of winning, you bet on him/her, and then you are obviously in a win-win situation. :)

In my opinion, each vote counts and we should always give importance to our acts. But this is the case where there is no corruption or manipulation of results. In a space of lies, votes of public do not have any importance. whether someone agrees or not, everything is decided before the elections ever take place. If not all, then most of the countries run on this principle. Politics betting is the easiest one.

Never have I thought of betting in politics, especially in my country as it can be unpredictable at times. Nor there are my friends or in network who shared to have bet on politics. I have not also heard about sites which have portfolio to support betting on politics. I would rather prefer to bet on sports or try my luck with arcade games.   

I'm pretty sure that in most democratic countries elections are fair, and that's why it's not that easy to predict the results. And in the countries that are called "democratic", while, in fact, they are not, opposition has no voice, and citizens are brainwashed to the extent that they willingly give their votes to dictators. There is no need for manipulations even. For such countries politics betting would be easy, but, for obvious reasons, no one is accepting bets for countries like Kazakhstan.

Right this is the reality that no politician will fulfill his promises and he only trolls you with their words so better we also should think about our own benefit and bet on the team that you think will win as don't bring your personal thinking or ideas into it. Choose the most liked party to invest your money on as its about gambling not about politics.

I often hear politics in the real world. But to gamble in politics, I have never done it before and it's difficult for me. I have no expertise in gambling in politics, is every day politics always there to stake?

A coin has two sides and every matter of life is like a coin. Democratic countries are believed to give power in the hands of citizens but this holds true for few countries only. In Most countries of this world, governments use different ways to win the elections. There are many manipulation methods. Politics betting is easy to win when someone can see through the plans of major authorities.

I think we are not here to discuss the duty of the politicians but one thing that you said was right. If we totally should keep our personal affairs away if we want to make money from political betting. Yet recently in my country, I can see the party that my family does not like going to win in next voting so I am planning to bet but still I am not going to vote for him.

Again, that's why no one is accepting bets on politics  for most countries of the world. It's not that hard to know the plans of major authorities in undemocratic countries. Their plan is to stay in power, and one can say with 99.99% certainty that the plan will be executed, so, it's understandable that such bets are not accepted.

For countries such as UK, USA, and most countries from the EU, bets are accepted, but political betting for those countries is not easy.

I met such bets, which concerned the upcoming elections. But according to preliminary data provided by various sociological services, the result of the elections was known long before the elections themselves. So the chances were very slim and I saw no point in taking part.
