Politics - Turn political knowledge into hard cash

Politics is everywhere and whether we like it or not, it affects our lives on a daily basis.

And whether you’re a supporter of a particular party or a particular candidate or not, that shouldn’t stop you from being able to make money by predicting what will happen thanks to Betsson’s politics betting markets.

Those who backed Donald Trump ahead of the 2016 US Presidential elections will have seriously cashed in as the billionaire and former Reality TV show star upset the odds and all predictions by polls, journalists and analysts to beat Hillary Clinton and become the 45thPresident of the United States.

There were also big payouts on offer for those who predicted that Brexit would happen in the United Kingdom. Just hours before results were announced, the odds on Brexit happening were as big as 10.0 meaning those who felt the UK population would vote for change had a chance to make some serious money.

Of course, it doesn’t always happen that way and a couple of years earlier, the referendum on Scotland leaving the UK rewarded favourite backers who felt the Scottish people would vote to stay rather than go alone.

And the odds are already available on who will be voted US President in 2020. Donald Trump is favourite as the man currently in the hot seat with Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama also amongst the shortest price candidates in terms of odds. Look a bit further down the list and you’ll find some more unlikely names such as…Beyonce and Kanye West!

But it’s not just about the USA and we here at Betsson also have betting markets on the Presidential/Prime Minister elections in the likes of France and Lithuania.
