I have never bet in politics. Because I really don't understand politics. So, it is very difficult to bet there.
Though many say betting in politics is very easy and can be profitable. I don't believe it's easy, for me it's easier to gamble dice or poker.

Adding dates on the betting statement would indeed make it better, everything is unsure of course. But for a politically updated person, they know about lobbying. No-deal is mostly what they'd do here. Pretty obvious EU is making sure that consequences is very real for United Kingdom. You'd rather be sticking to elections.

Yes, problem is, the more precise you make the bet with dates, the more you risk it becoming uninteresting (too precise, too hard to have an opinion) for people. It's kind of like Player Props... # of passing touchdowns for Tom Brady in Superbowl is interesting to a lot of people. But # of penalty flags thrown on cornerback X in some mid-season game is less interesting.

I remember seeing Hillary Clinton at 1.4x odds as next president of the U.S. thinking to myself that was easy money all day long.

if you have a good feeling on it , you should follow it because there is a good chance that it will come out and besides if it comes out and you dont place a bet , you will only feel bad inside but if you place a bet , win or loose you wont feel bad at all because you already follow what your mind says to you  .  we should often bet on politics so that we can be more familiarize with it   . politics is really interesting , we should support it so that many sites will open politic betting

Some good suggestions there.. in the end I guess it is about making sure there would be enough interest from people to bring enough liquidity to the exbet.io betting exchange. Betfair has a reasonable selection of politics markets, and not just elections based, but also about Brexit at the moment - which month it will happen, if it will happen etc. So there is a lot of potential market subjects apart from pure elections betting.

Brexit is very complicated to understand for someone not from there actually. I'm not from there but what I do know is that changing treaties can take a very long discussion for all the European nations. Passing the law itself is going to take years. I heard brexit years ago, had they already got freedom?  Election has the shorter time period which is good.

It's an excellent point you make. People only rarely want to bet about something that could tke months (or even years) to get a result and possible payout. Ante-Post markets on Superbowl winner, or Champions League winner are about the longest market terms.. and they don't take as much money as people expect, at least not until the last few weeks and months.

However, even with something like Brexit, there are a lot of markets that can be offered which resolve in days or weeks or at least a few months, for example:

- Will UK leave with no-deal by Oct 31st?
- Will the Withdrawal Agreement be passed in UK Parliament (this summer, versions I, II, and III)?
- Will there be a general election in 2019? (not directly Brexit, but related)

The question is, how many bettors are interested in betting on this stuff? Maybe lot sin the UK, but not so many outside...? US politics probably has the biggest interest internationally, and we see this in the fact that Betfair has a lot of US Politics markets despite not being available to people inside the US.

But I never actually bet on it, and now I'm glad I didn't, of course! Don't think I've ever been so wrong about something in my entire life. That's why I don't bet on politics.

The odd thing was, the site I was looking at didn't even have odds for Donald Trump, just "Republican Candidate." I guess Trump was too much of a wildcard.

I am not sure of all crypto sportsbooks that have politics betting, or specials like Eurivision, etc. But I know that 1xBit have some politics. However, I have never used their sportsbook and cannot make a recommendation about it.

When we launch our Bitcoin betting exchange at exbet.io, we intend to offer politics also. Apart from US politics, which country politics do people think would be interesting to offer markets on?

Let see how it would turn out. There use to be directbet which list elections but they are gone now. I wasn't betting on it during that time but I believe they still exist during Trump won. Election in the corrupt countries would really be something to talk about and people are very passionate defending their candidate. Maybe election in South American countries, Middle East and Far East countries. I guess every month will have a battle of candidate here in gambling section.

so which casino does list this kind of betting?
i don't see any right now, politics betting ignites flames in the thread which can be a good promotion for the casino site.  odds like $5k to win half a million however is just not going to make the casino last.  they'd rather close down after the election. i would love to see what kind of things will the users post on threads related to betting on politics.
Onehash used to have politics from other countries but I don't know what happened. The only sportsbook I know that currently have politics line available is Fairlay.
Most sportsbook don't have lines available on politics because the election is still few months from now. They usually add these events when it's a few days or a week away.

I never bet on politics but if it's as predictable as some of you are saying maybe I should try.  Roll Eyes

There are sites like https://www.betmoose.com/ that allow you to bet on any event. You can already bet on Trump becoming the next president Cheesy

I came here because the title is the topic that makes me curious.
I never bet on politics, I'm really confused about how to bet on politics

How does political betting work?
Are there really sites that provide political bets?
Are there any special countries related to this (politics)

I want to know about political gambling, can this really be profitable?

Politics used to be quite popular market in most betting platforms. It is based on political events such as elections, policies, resignations, impeachments, etc. Check through some popular betting sites, I think you will see some.

Wow, very impressive. I just learned this that the stakes in politics are huge.

I left betting in politics only related to the election, apparently there are many more that can be wagered in politics other than the election.

I will try to see more about betting in politics, thank you for the notice.

I never bet on Politics, I do like betting on "events" such as the Eurovision Song Contest for example and have made some good money there - simply because it cannot be compared to "usual" sports betting and the bookies dont have as much information - value all the way Smiley

On which site do you bet on competition like song contest etc ? There may a gambling for the miss universe / Miss USA contests too ? Although I think it will not be easy to predict the winners of such contests but I may try my luck.

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?

Top gambling sites only offer this when there is an election on the country where they have a lot of members like the United States, here in our country it's hard to do betting because if these so many survey site that predicts who will eventually win, and the worse part is they are always correct in their surveys, no local online gambling site will dare set up a bet here.

I heard politics betting, but I just try it once because I just want to know what is the feeling when you are betting to some people ( like what is the excitement about it and the entertainment that it will give).
We're different, there is also a thread inside our local board where everyone can join this kind of betting game, it's a senatorial election by the way, but I refuse to join. Though I know some about politics, I still refuse to bet because of the wide range of candidates, it scares me that I might possibly have a small chance of winning which result to money lose (I really hate losing money because I know the feeling of difficulty earning it).
But like in typical gambling game you are happy when your candidate won, but the worst part is when your candidate doesn't fulfill he/she promises on his/her speech. Smiley
Even you win few dollars from such game, you are still considered a loser because the candidate you voted is either corruptvor useless at all. *Sigh Sad life, I know what you feel because until now I can't feel our economy is rising.
If you bet on a candidate he will win you will be able to get allot profit. But I personally never bet on politics as i don’t found it invest worthy because of low information. But yes while voting I was happy that  the party I voted for was the winner so next time I will be able to bet but for this I will have to gain allot of knowledge.

Sometimes betting on a politic just for a fun purpose.

In my country, in 2019 there has some election between Jokowi & Prabowo. One supporter candidate was really over pride for their own candidate and makes me don't really care about the politic. But went the election was started, some betting bet make a Bet Match between this candidate. To be honest for me this its was really funny if i bet against one of this supporter who makes a lot chaos on an election day and my choice was right. That's was really funny.

in my country, there are no sites that provide this type of betting.

I already seen this betting things on election few times before in some websites and they are really offering high odds, although I never tried looks interesting to bet especially if you are a US resident because you exactly know who is the leading candidate based on your friends and neighbors and speculations from other locations this is not so popular for now especially to some small countries but time may come it will be one of the most entertaining events we can join especially if they include local politicians based on our locations. 

I think PredictIt is the only place that US residents can bet on politics legally. Nevada books haven't allowed it previously, and I believe that US sportsbooks after PASPA are strictly sports only...for now.
