Politics Betting & Politics Odds

With politics betting you can have your say on political wrangling and ramifications at home and abroad. Political betting has grown in popularity over the last few years, following the Brexit vote and some keenly watched general elections in the UK and Ireland. The nature of recent US elections featuring the likes of Donald Trump has increased interest in US political betting too.

What are the Main Political Betting Markets? 

With politics betting, there are a range of political betting markets you can choose from. First and foremost, you can bet on politics in the UK, Ireland and across the pond in the US. Some of the main political events you can bet on include: 

- The UK General Election: Bet on when the next election will be, the winning party, the number of votes and more. 

- The Irish General Election: Bet on who will be the Taoiseach after the next election, as well as which party gets the most seats. 

- The US Presidential Election: Bet on which party will occupy the White House, the presidential nominees, which way certain states will vote, and the vote in the all-important Swing States. 

How is Political Betting Influenced by Elections 

Political betting is all about elections. Election time is when the real moves in power happen. For a UK or Irish election for example, not only do you get your chance to have your say with your vote, but you can also predict what you think will happen with political betting too.

At BoyleSports, you’ll see political odds and political betting markets right here on this page in the run up to an election. In the UK for example, you can bet on when the next General Election will happen – it’s either every five years or when the current party in power chooses to call it. 

Once we have a date for the next election, political odds will be heavily influenced by things like the polls, current news stories and how each candidate performs in live debates. For example, a strong lead for one party in the polls will likely shorten its odds of winning with the bookmakers. A scandal for one leading candidate could impact their chances of being elected – this will then be reflected in the political betting odds.

Political Betting & Candidates 

Political betting is also strongly linked to candidates. Politics these days is often all about the public’s opinion of certain candidates. Often more so than their political policies. 

It’s therefore no surprise to learn that this heavily influences the political betting odds too. If a certain candidate is proving popular in the polls this will then be reflected in their odds of winning. This could be Donald Trump or Kamala Harris in the US Presidential Election or Sir Keir Starmer going into the next General Election in the UK. 

At BoyleSports, we use a whole host of different factors to set our politics odds, including opinion polls, current news stories, performance in previous elections, and more. Our politics odds also continually change in line with the current political landscape. 

Responsible Gambling 

When you bet on politics, it’s super important to always gamble responsibly. The following should help: 

● Make sure you understand the political odds and the bets you’re making.

● Never gamble with money you can’t afford to lose.

● Don’t gamble when you’re intoxicated or otherwise not thinking clearly. 

● Treat gambling as entertainment and not a way to try and make money.

● Seek help if you think your gambling is becoming a problem.
