How Often Do you Bet on Politics?

[dantee1]

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?

[mitchr4]

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.

[lotfiuser]

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

[bering]

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.

[hahay]

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 

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

[coin-investor]

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.

[mindrust]

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.

[Hamphser]

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.
