How Often Do you Bet on Politics?

[Bitinity]

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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 .

[batang_bitcoin]

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.

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.

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%

[FlamingFingers]

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

[ss890]

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.
