OP:I don't know, if you are discovering warm water, political events have been discussed on this board for a long time, it was a matter of searching (you), in fact you can find several sites that offer that odds to betting (here. Now, there have been big elections this year in Mexico, Argentina in the area that corresponds to me, so the question is either you close this thread or you give it a specific orientation and not so general, because it won be filled with shit (here collaborating)  Smiley

I could bet on anything, but never on an election because it is predictable: the winner of the survey eventually bags the seat. Ever since I participated in our election here in our country, these betting companies accurately predicted who was likely to come out.

Survey companies are making millions to accurately predict who will likely win in an election because businesses and politicians will go to the winners for contributions and support for future favors. Hence, the election is a game of politics and business, and we should not participate.

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.

The biggest problem I see with that is the fact most people and most of the market makers/bookies pay attention to political events which take place in the United States. There are very few webpages which are that much dedicated to betting on not sport events. One I recall is Futuur, which is almost 100% dedicated to betting on not sport events, and the liquidity of their markets are not the best one, so one could find oneself with small pots of money/wagers, compared to what one usually sees in sport betting markets.

There are many gamblers who have high interest in politics as they do with gambling. My POV is that It is almost like a chronic case of addiction for you to be gambling on almost anything. Is sport betting and Live Casino games not enough for people to gamble on, what is the need for an extra event? Casino's just take advantage of people's love for gambling to make all these unnecessary bets available leading more people more to addiction because they know they benefit from that.
I don't see it as an addictive behaviour; it should just be considered a normal betting activity, just as one can easily place a bet on an augmented reality you are having with a friend just to prove how much you believe or stand by the point you make. It's as simple as that, and I don't consider that a habit of a gambling addict, in my own observation.
 
Aside from politics, we also have different kinds of events that take place seasonally, and some betting sites make a temporary provision for such games to be able to be bet on during the period of that event.


Not only politics, but there are entertainment events such as Oscars or Golden Globe Awards. In futuur.com - you can already see a lot of variations when it comes to this type of betting market

https://futuur.com/q/category/555/entertainment

Their politics market alone is very diverse not only in USA/Latin America but across the globe.

https://futuur.com/q/category/98/politics

At stake, they have politics and entertainment as well = https://stake.com/sports/politics-entertainment/outrights
However, politics is more on US & UK elections only. So if you want other political events, I can say, futuur has long list on this aspect.

You are logically right especially with the idea that any topic could be really placed a bet with. Would you believe me if I say there are people betting on a personality's d*ath? Yes there are. It is really bothering for many people but they're just into it. This is to prove that any event is "betable". In any topic to bet, you have a choice whether to participate or not. It just needs 2 or more contradicting stands or sides on a single argument or topic, and will to place bet on the line, to make something a form of gambling. Also this is not limited with money bets alone but anything where consequences of either losing or winning, would be present as the risk.
There are sites where you can place a bet for the election if a certain country and I think this is not that active as we all know, the election happens not all the time but for sure if its a big election it will get the attention of many. It’s interesting to discuss some political views and their opinions about the candidate on their country but seriously it’s hard to argue this if you are not living on that country and only rely on the news which I think is not that relative.
Some people are open to just test their luck regardless if they won't be able to achieve news about the event they placed a bet with, and I think it would be fine eitherway; even if you get updates you cannot just pull out your bet in an instant for a change in decision.

In my own country, betting on politics has become a common thing when the election is about to take place and this can also be said to have become a tradition where the election is approaching, people dare to bet on the candidate they like.
Yes, and this is also included as one of the big betting events because those who dare to bet do not hesitate to place bets with quite large capital.
Yes, the conclusion is that betting on a political event is currently in great demand by gamblers as well as betting on sports betting because this moment is rarely done only at certain times when the election is about to take place.

In terms of politics seems the books don't get too many possibilities to give offers to the player unlike sports betting, just the winner of the votes but if you can see lets accept the fact that theres a lot of activities in politics both parties don't want to lose because of the potential earnings and projects they would like to deal with so every small discrepancy possible theres a changes or having a re-count and its not favor with the casino and players too instead you get your wins takes another turn to decide.

You should check the bets on the UK election



There are more options than on the Euro, winners, counties, seats, votes per party, vote turnout, next party leaders, and so on, it's the same for the US, it might be Trump vs Biden that takes the spotlight but there are plenty of options on top of that from votes, to state winners to differences and so on.

I do not think this is necessary. Most of the bookies on this forum will not have more than common political betting than the well developed country ones like the United States presidential election. Most of the betting sites that has other political events that are not United State are local betting sites. Local betting sites do have this for their country but in a way people from other countries that can not access the local betting sites can not bet on the political event (like election) that is happening in another country. This does not worth it.
Betting where only few got interested is a useless bet, that’s why if we want to create a bet, it should be something that is a hot topic and that easily gets the interest of everyone. So if we are talking about presidential election here, then US election would be the most talk and the most controversial one. Otherwise, if we settle on other not so interesting country, the people would not care minding it.

The thing with betting on political events is in the fact that the probability are unbalanced as in some countries where they have a very unstable political system, they results are very likely obvious and almost having no uncertainties keeping the book makers at high risk of losses even in some advanced countries it gets to points where it becomes obvious who the winner is likely to be but in sports yo can never be up 60% sure about a game until it's over as anything happens at anytime and so there's a kind of balance which can be beneficial to both the gambler and the bookmakers and that is why I think it's better gambling with sports events than political events, for sports events there are always statistics which sometimes can be of great help for predictions, but with political events you can find a case where there's non for you to use, so the variables are just not consistent.

Surveys are hired by the media or by the candidates themselves to encourage the public to believe a determined tendency is taking place in the national scenario, which is interesting for the party sponsoring the survey. Moreover, most of surveys nowadays in presidential elections indicate very tiny margins between the two first candidates (something like 51% - 49% or 52% - 48%).

It indicates a technical tie, and makes the bets even more interesting regards such political events. It's just not possible to bet in politics at countries where the government completely manipulates the election's outcomes, which is the case of dictatorships. Then it really doesn't make sense to place bets and I don't even know if it's possible.

But regards USA, it's an interesting event for gamblers, because elections there are always pretty polarized, so there is always a profit opportunity available for the ones seeking to risk their luck.
Another aspect that makes US elections very attractive is the fact that all the world cares about them, so there is a lot of money which is being wagered right now on that election, unlike what it may happen with other powerful countries but that cannot garner that kind of attention, besides the election is so close that anyone could win, however it seems that Trump is gaining some voters over Biden since a few weeks ago, and that could be the deciding factor that allows him to get the win he is looking for.

I think that is an unnecessary thing to do. because in my opinion when it comes to betting on political events. There is nothing more interesting than the democratic party of the United States. The US is a large country, has a large population and a large influence in the international world, so the election of the president of the United States is very crucial and interesting enough to be used as material. bet. And indeed there is a country that is no less big than the US, namely the Red Bear country which is a rival to Uncle Sam's country. However, the presidential election in Russia is not interesting enough to be used as betting material, because in every election and before the election takes place we all know who the winner is.

Theres been a few elections this year, the French one is next then British and of course this is a year for the USA end of year also.

You could probably bet on the figures before the actual election, Im now remembering a system that measures the poll type figures for a likely win by either party and this allows a constant bet spread style for that political confidence.

   I agree its mostly a one off but I have seen also book keepers keep a constant market of daily bets for the kind of swing between each party for or against.  My biggest bet was on the 2020 election just because of how biased some odds were, it was a good gamble.

I don't think we can gain anything from political events betting because there are survey companies that can accurately predict who will win in elections, in our country alone all those who voted in positions have been forecast accurately by the survey companies, they can do that because they have a system in place that can monitor the pulse of the voting masses.

On Sports betting, it is performance-based, while in political events, it's the issues and the agenda that will make the candidates win, not his past performances and reputation; upsets are so rare in political events.
Surveys are hired by the media or by the candidates themselves to encourage the public to believe a determined tendency is taking place in the national scenario, which is interesting for the party sponsoring the survey.

Nice idea, but if we are going to consider this aspect as a topic for consideration and extensive discussions, then we may have to use some certain examples in other to be able to understand more about the details on such political activities in that countries plus those involved in it, though am still reasoning the same with you on the possibility on how we are going to engage in making discussions without siting examples of those involved, well, this should be more of a thread that talks about betting in political affairs and not the political discussions in proper.

Why has betting become a symbol of sports games?
Other forms of betting has already been in existence but they are not widely recognised and accepted. Sports betting is widely known and recognised all over the world. Sports is one activity that is very entertaining and exciting to watch or participate in. The love for sports has grew massively over the years and this had prompted many to skillfully analyze the activity and earn from it through betting.  This cannot be compared to bets on politics where the the will of the people are not done in most cases which has has made many to physically and emotionally withdraw themselves from politics and everything relating to it.
Betting on politics is not as exciting as sports betting, infact many people especially in underdeveloped and developing countries are not happy with the situations in their countries and will never waste their money betting on anyone to win or lose.

the discussion is about betting on political events so it is about gambling. there have been threads talking about betting on political events and I don't remember them being moved to politics and society so I doubt they'll move this one to another section.

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.
I agree with this and no one is really stopping people from discussing betting political events from other countries, it's just that the people who bet on this kind of betting are usually interested in US politics.

It's not bad, but I feel that it's not really necessary. First, not many people who gamble are interested in politics. Second, not all people who actively gamble who come from certain countries can gamble legally. Based on not caring about political contestation, people don't understand the chances of who will win and how they do the analysis to be used as a bet.
Yes, that's fine, but very few people are interested, and it's not necessary because only a small number of people want to bet on political events.

And again, what I know is that political betting is more interesting on the president in America because there is very crowded and also a lot of resources are spent to get No. 1 in Uncle Sam's land.
I am also quite confused if it is equated to a soccer betting system, because I have never seen such a bet, but if it is directly between two parties and stakes $1000 each maybe it makes sense, who wins they take the victory, but maybe this will only apply to those who are fanatical about one of the candidates.
