French presidential election betting

[Dasgard]

Hello,

Do you know a website where one can bet on the french political election of 2022 using crypto ?

I was able to bet on the 2017 election using directbet, but this website no longer exists.

Thanks

I think people already gave you a lot of options to choose from, so I want to hear from you if you don't mind, since you're looking for this you definitely know something that we don't, it would be nice if you share your thoughts with us about those elections, we may consider following your lead.

It's just that I betted on the last French election using the now closed service "directbet".

The bet was : "Next French president will be a man ?". Yes : 19%. No : (I don't remember).

I waited until 2 weeks before the election, because anything could happend, and betted almost all my bitcoins on the fact that the next french president would be a man.

Only Marine Lepen could have won as a women, but... she could'nt because the french presidential election works on 2 rounds, she might have won the first, but there were  no way she could win the second round. And I think it's still the case today, but it's better to wait until 2 weeks before the election because anything could happen.

(I precise that I'm French and I'm following the campaigns for this election)

would be nice if FTX added more options for elections on their website
I know they did it for US elections last time and have a contract right now for the brazilian election

let's see, maybe they add more in the future

What site is this? I’m also looking for other option to place bet in my country for next year election. Looks like other countries are also having an election next year, this could be our time to vote the right people. Though unlike the US election, this might not hit the main stream so very limited to see the odds about election even in France.

Is it too early to bet on this event? I would not do it now, even if I found an offer with good odds - freezing my money for 5 months is a very dubious idea. Plus, over these 5 months, a lot can change and it turns out that those good odds were not good at all. The situation and the mood of the public is changing quickly now, who knows how much people will go berserk from lockdowns/coronavirus and what this can lead to.

the big exchange https://ftx.com/
though as far as I know France presidential elections are not available there

but they have it available for betting on the results of Brazilian elections next year (october 2022) and they had it for Trump, Biden and some others on the US last elections.

It is expectedly hard to look for odds on this one since politics and other events outside sports are seldom the stuff to bet on. But I think you can find one if you are really interested for it and won't mind if you are going to place non-crypto bets.

But I recommend you to drop by https://futuur.com/ to check if it is there. The site offers almost all kinds of events to bet on. And if you cannot find it, I remember that the site is also open to suggestions from its users. I myself used the platform and even made a suggestion for betting. I was surprised that they responded to me and indeed opened a betting for it.

So if you cannot find it under politics in futuur, just contact them and suggest that it be added and perhaps they will do it.

Compared to the situation we had in 2020 (POTUS elections, in which Biden won), there is not much interest in gambling circles for the two important elections in 2022 - France and Brazil. Almost every sportsbook was offering bids on the 2020 POTUS elections. However, I had to try quite a bit to find sites that offer bidding on French and Brazilian elections. So far, I have only found Skybet among my favorite sites. And for the Brazilian election, I am yet to find a site which offer bidding. It is still a bit early, and the situation may change in the coming months.

Betting sites should not think like that, they can just make the betting seen and available after each user are visiting their site, this will help many bettors to know about it, I think people get interest in betting it. Also I think many betting sites may not want to be involve thinking it is politics, but is not.

So far, I have only found Skybet among my favorite sites. And for the Brazilian election, I am yet to find a site which offer bidding. It is still a bit early, and the situation may change in the coming months.

One thing I have known is that the betting about presidential election to a country like Brazil are more limited to Brazil. This is what I am saying, in my country, you can see many online local betting sites having bet of the presidential election of the president in my country during the election, I do not see such on international betting sites, this can go for countries like Brazil too.

I think Skybet is not accepting crypto, that can not make me make use of the site, I will also prefer betting sites that are on this forum.

interesting, haven't heard of Skybet before
will look into it

as I mentioned, the exchange FTX offers future contracts where you can long if the actual president will get reelected or kicked out

since they did it for the US and now for Brazil I think they may add more countries and events in the future.

Fuutur is also a great option, with different dynamics

OneHash might offer this one but the last time I visited the site, they are now purely casino betting websites. What happened to them?

I think it's been a year or two since they've focused in being a full casino. I also have seen them having this type of betting about politics and as well as other odd matches to bet for.

I haven't seen the reason of their removal for their bookie.

Brazil is a big enough country that even if they only take bets from their own people it would be enough to justify the book on the presidential election but I dont speak Portuguese so I doubt I would be putting even a small bet on that.   At least with the French election you have the whole EU aspect where people from across Europe may have some opinion and news to go on and will bet, I would expect this available in every major language and offered internationally.

I'm also Freebitco.in - on their betting part, will also cover that event.

Not sure if popular sportsbooks such as Stake, Sportsbet, Nitrogen will open a line of betting to that. French Presidential election might have a big betting market but can't be compare to US Presidential election where most crypto-betting sites, cover the event.

I recently placed a bet on stake, sports bet to be specific and it's the only feature of the website that i like, Odds and prices of the matches were updated quite quickly.

I'm sure there were bettings on Trump and biden election on stake and same will happen with french elections no doubt about it.

Do you know a website where one can bet on the french political election of 2022 using crypto ?

Is it started right now?
Well, I think that president election betting is a case that become favorite betting for many people. Moreover the chance to win may be bigger moreover if we really know the track record and also the condition of the president candidates and also the party.

Besides FTX, I ever read about this betting Skybet.'You may take some reviews and analysis of  this.

[AicecreaME]

I can only suggest Futuur site here, they have a lot of options with regards to Betting not just on politics but almost on everything. Know that Betting is more profitable with the good odds, so analyze before you place your Bet and know if you are dealing with the great site, reading terms of service is also important. We are also in Election next year, I might also look for the bet once the list of candidates are final already.

I have read several reviews about this. They really say its an all around site that could cater your needs. It's really good to know that there are sites that welcome betting in politics because we all know that politics is a chaotic and dirty place which is why most people and businesses do not want to get involved with it. Perhaps because of the fear of getting a backslash and other some sort of negative feedbacks. So it's quite surprising to read that a website offers betting in politics because what I usually see are sites that offer betting in sports. Maybe it's really time to discover new things.

I agree with you that OP should read the terms of service first. Most people fail to do this and this is where the trouble starts to resurface. The common mistake of people engaging in betting is not reading the policy. That is why there are times that they aren't aware they are already violating the terms of service of the company. In some points, some are even aren't aware they are taking advantage of the site with its policies. Hence, when they try to file a complaint, the issue won't be addressed because they gave their consent to agree with whatever is written on the terms of service. To everyone who are planning to bet on political betting for the next year's election, most especially to the newbies, please take note of this. This thing might come a little to no importance, but trust me, this is significant before doing an account in a betting site.

not sure if most of Brazilians would have the interest to learn the tech to bet on predential elections outcomes, though
but could be

I'm sure you can find
1. translated news on the time of the election, like when bolsonaro was stabbed and when he missed the debates on purpose
2. brazilian you trust and who speak english

but totally get your point too.
