How Often Do you Bet on Politics?

[carlisle1]

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 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.

[josephdd1]

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

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

[smyslov]

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 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.

[ChrisPop]

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  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.

[doomloop]

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?

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.

[ScamViruS]

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.

[batang_bitcoin]

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

Especially if that is president election. We know who is win in president election when a lot of people talk to him. From your username i know maybe we're from same country and last president election really can be predictable.

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.

[Barracuda]

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.
