Sports betting of course can be done everyday since there are Sports events everyday where ever we are. But local political betting I think only happens during or near election time and based on your responses it only happens discreetly, except maybe in areas where it is legal or not regulated like the U.S. So I guess there really isn't too much political betting going on in this world and these are basically local events that we really have no clue knowing.

Now this one is better, I mean should be better than Sports Betting in my opinion. Because it not only let you bet your winning candidate, but it also give a thrill on what to expect will happen in the political landscape in your county for the next few years or decades. Why not we post our countries popular websites and platforms here so that everybody, especially the political aficionado in us will be able to visit and possibly bet. Unfortunately in our little corner of the world, I do not know why I cannot find anything about political betting when politics is a messy affair. Anyway hope you can share what you visit.  

This won't do in my country in our last election where we have 5 presidential candidates, people already know who is going to win because of the surveys, surveys are very popular here in our country every time there is an election because they can accurately predict who's going to win, some presidential candidate even quit the race because he is not doing good in surveys.

If there are no surveys the race for the election is going to be exciting and there is no one has an edge over the edge, people are easily swayed by surveys.

Now this is also similar in our case. 6 presidential election candidates, possibly top 3 will be the ones that will be competing for the bet. Of course since surveys are also usual the top 2 will always be picked. Also the betting is definitely localized on our end. No websites, just group to group, discreetly organized so in a sense illegal. But most local betting are organized inside the casinos here so it will not attract any attention from the authorities. The nastier thing that happened then is that one candidate of the vice presidency who is always number one in surveys and was the crowd favorite, lost by 100,000 plus votes overnight while all are asleep. Nasty really.

I guess that not all people interested in political situations because that will be different from sports or other gambling games. Political betting needs to have much information about each candidate which not all people can get from other sources. But there is one gambling site which has this, and I only know that freebitco.in have those betting. But as I said before, only people from that country that will know the real situations. Perhaps, for people who lived out from that country can only guess for who will be the winner.

It depends on your choice, sports betting has got a different kind of thrill. Sports betting is available throught the year but political betting is only available before the elections which happens once in five years. No one is interested in betting about political decision and I have not seen any online gambling website offering betting on decision making. Freebitco is runnin US election betting, you can check their website.



One thing is that you will see various sports happening all days of the year some or other teams keeps playing. All depended upon the varied interested people have in the sports and accordingly they can bet as they are aware about the teams and the players as well. This gives them better chance of betting rightly as compared to that of politics. Politics happen at each level or it is difficult to judge that or even known I feel at times.

US Presidential Election 2020 is heavily discussed here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/us-presidential-election-2020-5237990


What OP is trying to discuss is on the local political betting be given a chance to be listed in sportsbook, it's already given that USA will be in sportsbook as they are a big country and there's a lot of interest of betting from its people and even outside their country.

If USA political betting (Election) is listed in the sports books why can't they list other popular countries like England or Australia elections results ?
I don't bet on this type of bets but it will be interesting to know if many people like to bet on political bets, then sports book should add them to increase their clients.

The countries most involved in a Political betting would probably be those big ones and the ones mostly on the news. One totally given answer would naturally be US, with how big their country is and how the news about them can mostly already be grasped by even outsiders. it's kinda normal tbh if you were just to base it solely on luck but if factors were taken into account like their history, contribution,etc., it actually becomes a tad bit too much of a hassle and quite irritating. Not to mention that it wouldn't even be your country's president you'd be voting on, there'd be naturally more lack of interest by then. For fun, sure, after all, just by going to reddit you can already see a lot of discussion about elections.

Political gambling is not something that interests me, especially politics in my country there are only 2 presidential candidates. So there
aren't many choices for gambling, and what makes it unattractive the results of the survey have been issued before the presidential election
begins. Therefore no wonder political gambling is not very popular in the world. Evidently the number of websites that provide political gambling
features is very small. Because after all sports gambling is more interesting in my opinion.
Well, it is a fight with words compared to sports gambling which is a fight between skills and bodies. Not saying that elections don't require skill, but they tend to be tedious to watch sometimes, especially if you don't particularly know much about the jargons they keep saying.

Well, its good to make money on the political decision of every country but this one is still not available and maybe it wont happen simply because of the politics are too dirty to bet for. If political betting is allowed, then maybe ordinary will also have the power to choose what they think is right and supporting their beliefs can able them to make money as well.

I will not be involved in it. You know, politics in my country is very complicated, with dramas, and also hard competition. Therefore, I prefer to stay away from politic situation that may make me feel dizzy listening to them. Better to do other online games, sports betting that is worthier and more normal to my life.
Well, additionally gambling is something that is not good to be done in my country, it is illegal. So I will not think that we can do this political gambling in most countries. But here, your ideas may be interesting.
But seriously, if your country legalizes it and it is accepted to be conducted, I will be really curious to see the review about the betting of politics, who win and who lose, it may be interesting.

Its understandable or already a norm that these countries would really have that much attention yet we know on whats their reputation or ranking when it comes to power in overall.So its no surprising that they would always make some buzz and interest even choosing on who would be the leader.
In talks about local political betting then i dont see anything yet no sportsbook will surely have this line due to lack of interest and if there are
certain bets exist then it would be just good locally and wont tend to go outside or in global.

I have always found it a bit immoral but remember there is only a handful of places that could actually change hands, hence why there is a big betting in USA since they literally go from democrat to republican to democrat to republican (literally papa Bush to Clinton to W.bush to Obama to trump). But look at all the other countries in the world, most people who are at the top of the most famous party will end up with the win 99% of the time. Sure there are some weird changes once in a decade somewhere but it is not that frequent.

Moreover it is usually years apart everywhere so you do not get too much of betting chance with it at all. Sports is still a lot better, even if the team loses there is really not that much importance to it and worst case they will relegate and that's it.

Political betting are not much different than sports betting. It may seem like one party is wining over another but things can change pretty rapidly. Survey do give some insights but they often go wrong. Even the exit polls have been misleading. The popular candidate is like a strong team but it's better not to be too sure on it as anything can happen in this game.
Yes that's right political betting and sports betting are just the same in which those who are part of the betting game will choose a certain person and bet for that side  through a great amount of money if you are really confident that your chosen one has a big advantage to win the game.

I think you are talking about the current situation going on in the world.I think it is a good idea if gambling casinos start to offer this kind of betting as it can be beautiful to bet on this kind of events.For example some countries in Europe are opening borders on May 29 some others are still thinking and betting when a certain country will reopen its borders.

At first it sounds a little bit strange. To bet on current political situation regarding pandemic and its consequences, probably makes some dillemas. Although people bet on everything I don't think there are online casionos ready to offer such kind of betting. It's quite risky and it's hard to make betting offers that are interesting and challenging enough, although in the lack of proper sport bettings, people might be interested in anything.

Last US elections were a perfect example how wrong the surveys can go. I remember around the election times, odds were very high for Trump while it was low for Hillary. No media had expected Trump to win it. They knew they were all set to make Hillary the President. But the actual desire of people were different. It's always interesting to gamble on politics. Small event can turn the odds from one side to another.

It's not always the case here in our country, surveys can easily predict who will win and they've accurately predicted it, so in our country it's unlikely that we will have a betting about election, in a country where survey companies can accurately predict the results betting in election is unlikely, surveys is a huge business so they are pressured to give accurate results.

You can visit freebitco.in, one that on my signature or Sportsbet.io. Since you didn't clarify on the OP if it was related only to crypto or something to fiat only, I think you should visit and read these articles to give you an idea on where to bet, strategies and what denomination you'll gonna bet on a site.

Gamblers love this, especially if they have been betting on politics but from other countries, but it's still up to the providers if they will consider adding online betting for local politics. One of the best way to get this betting available soon is to request it to your respective sportsbook, and that sportsbook will forward the request to their odds market.
^ Definitely right, political betting is possible and definitely it will become illegal for no politician will allow this kind of activity when their names will be shortlisted in gambling. This can also be used by a political candidate or elected politician for his own interest when we all know that there are some countries that election can be sometimes manipulated and will give a fabricated result. In my own, if ever this will be done, I will never spend a single penny to bet in any of the political candidates in our country because I can still consider that the politics here is already a dirty game so might as well not to play and bet on the games related to it anymore.
