What Is Political Betting? 

While betting on politics might seem a little daunting - after all, the running of a country is much more complex than thumping a ball into the back of the net - it really isn’t and you will play most markets in exactly the same way you would a sports bet.

You’re essentially backing an outcome to happen. If it does, you win the bet.

For example, you can liken the next Prime Minister market to the next Arsenal manager market in football betting. All you’re doing is betting on the next person to be placed in that role. Should that person be placed in the Prime Minister position next, you will win. If somebody else is elected Prime Minister, you lose. It’s that simple.

Where To Bet On Politics? 

More and more bookmakers are offering politics markets these days and the big names like Paddy Power, Ladbrokes and William Hill have a large number of markets available to play.

At Bet & Skill we work with a huge range of fantastic bookmakers in the UK, all of which will have political market, particularly British politics markets.

For the most part they’ll have their own category, which you can select from the main menu, just as you would boxing, football or cricket. From there you’ll be directed to all the markets. They’re typically self-explanatory and you can usually browse through a number of categories within it such as British, US, Canadian and European, as well as a Brexit section.
