Political Betting

Everyone knows you can bet on sports, but why not add some extra excitement to politics worldwide with political betting? Just like sports betting, when you bet on politics, you are putting your stake on the outcome of a political event. As current affairs can affect the likelihood of various outcomes, political betting is a fast-paced, ever-changing environment, so it is just as exciting as sports betting, especially as the event in question draws closer.

At LiveScore Bet, we offer the latest odds across a range of markets in the political betting niche.

What Politics Can You Bet On?

There are a range of political outcomes you can bet on. From the UK to the US and countries in between. You can bet on the outcome of an election or referendum, the next PM, or the next leader of a political party. You can even bet on which party will win or keep a state or constituency. Just like sports betting, there are plenty of markets and events to bet on in the world of politics.

UK Politics Betting

In the UK, General Elections occur every five years unless a GE is called early (which can be done for several reasons). With LiveScore Bet, you can put a stake on the next PM, which party will gain the majority, which party will have the most seats, and even when the next General Election will occur. The PM is the leader of the party that gains the overall majority of seats. A coalition can be formed if no overall majority occurs and the PM is chosen from the coalition party leaders.

And there's still plenty of excitement between General Elections, with By-Elections, Mayoral Elections and more. There's also the opportunity to bet on the next leaders of various parties, including Labour and the Conservatives.

US Politics Betting

US Presidential Elections are a popular betting market that takes place every four years. But there are a variety of other markets to bet on in the US political landscape, such as the winning party. In the run-up to the US Presidential Elections, you can put a stake on who with be the candidate for the different parties (Republican and Democrat).

Every two years, State and Local elections take place. In these, the representative or governor is chosen. You can bet on the outcome of different States and more in this US political event.

Wider Political Betting

Although UK and US political betting offer the most popular markets, betting is possible on political events worldwide. If you love politics and current affairs, this can add some excitement, especially when the outcome itself won't affect you.

Why not put a stake on which party will win the most seats in the next Irish General Election? Or the next country to leave the EU? There are a variety of additional political bets you can make as and when events occur.

Political Betting Odds

Just like in sports betting, the odds of a political bet change due to a number of factors. As the event draws nearer, the odds can change. Current affairs can cause a favourite to lose face, and so may suddenly become less likely to win. Or an underdog may suddenly become more favourable as their party releases a manifesto that really speaks to the public that is about to vote.

Remember, a week is a long time in politics, so the odds will change as new information comes to light. At LiveScore Bet, we offer the best political betting odds that we constantly review. But once you have put in a bet, you are locked in at the odds you bet at. Keeping up to date with current affairs will help you decide the opportune moment to bet to get the best odds.
