How Often Do you Bet on Politics?

[Tungsten-1]

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?

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.

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.

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.

If this is right then that gambling site will go bankrupt soon or the rewards from these special events might be very less since the result is kind of predictable.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

But as you said, people do not find betting on politics interesting.

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.

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.

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.

[RivAngE]

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.

[owengtam09]

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
