I propose to discuss bets on political events in this topic. Some bookmaker organizations offer such bets. In order not to engage in their advertising, I will not mention their names, but you can easily find them on the Internet using various queries such as “Betting on political events” or even “Betting on non-sports events”. Strictly speaking, political betting is a type of betting on non-sports events. I don’t know whether the moderator will allow this topic to remain in gambling discussions or move it to the politics section. But in my opinion, it is more logical to leave this topic here, because despite political forecasts, we are talking specifically about gambling.
Why has betting become a symbol of sports games? This is not true. We can argue about any event - political, musical, economic, even esoteric. However, political events, such as elections in the United States, have the greatest liquidity. Perhaps a separate topic should be created for non-sports disputes that are also not political.
Here I propose to discuss all political events in all countries on which bets are placed, and not just political events in the United States.
To be honest with you, I personally have never really bought into the idea of betting on political elections, like the one we have currently going on in that united States, not like anything is wrong with it but I honestly don't think it's necessary at all, and this is one of the major reasons why if you check, I am not active in that thread even though at the very beginning of it, I did leave one or two comments there.
Politics is something that affects the life's of people in more serious ways than any of us can ever imagine, betting on sports is exciting, it's fun, and doest affect anyone in any negative light.
But imagine betting on a particular candidate to win an election, where as the people of that country do not want that candidate as their leader, but some how, that candidate end up winning the election, you are happy you won your bet, but the citizens of that country are morning because the actual candidate they wanted and voted for wasn't elected.
In this regard, rejoicing over a bet that is won over the happiness of millions of people is inhuman if you ask me, and this majorly the reason why I will never bet on politics myself, and neither will I support that it's discussion be spread on this board.
