How Often Do you Bet on Politics?

[GreatArkansas]

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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  .

[vintages]

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)

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:

(.....)
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. (....)

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.

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?

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.

[Coyster]

each presidential elections spent millions in their campaign, I don't think they want the results manipulated, can you name those countries.

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.

[roosbit]

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.

[spadormie]

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.

[Tungsten-1]

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.  

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

[leowonderful]

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.
