Politics Betting

If you’ve got a keen eye for politics then it’s likely that you’ll have a competitive edge when it comes to political betting. Unlike football betting and horse racing betting, politics is a lot more clear-cut when it comes to who will win or lose an election. In a football match or a race, anything can happen and it all comes down to a short period of time. Meanwhile, the likes of presidential elections take years of planning, and preparation and you often have a good inclination of which party will be victorious.

Political Betting Markets

When looking at Politics around the world, there is a vast level of competition that determines the leaders each country. For the vast majority of politics, these are determined by elections. So, for example, in the United Kingdom, the Conservative leader and the Labour leader will typically be the leading candidates in all Political betting markets for the UK. In a general election, parties such as the Green Party and the Liberal Democrats may appear but they will always be secondary or tertiary options in contrast to the two big parties.

UK Politics Betting

In the United Kingdom, the main market for betting comes from who would be the next Prime Minister of the country. There are two main parties, the Conservatives and the Labour party. At BetUK, you can find the latest odds for the party that you believe will win the elections when the time comes to decide on the next leader.

US Politics Betting

Across the pond in the United States, a similar process applies to betting with markets available for each leader and party. You can make your predictions on who you believe will be taking the seat in the White House when election time arrives.

Political Figures Betting Markets

When placing bets on Politics in the upcoming years, you may find betting odds for individual figures in the world of Politics, the likes of Donald Trump will reappear for American Politics and the likes of Keir Starmer may regularly be viewed in the markets for UK Politics. These typically involve questions such as whether they will last as the leader, whether or not they will make it into the role etc.; in most scenarios, these are easier questions to ask knowing how things should go, but in some scenarios, we may see a surprise.

Next UK Election Betting Odds
