Overall, betting on political events is very exciting. In politics, you are always sure that this guy is going to win, you collect info from your friends, co-workers, what they think and etc. I wish there were other political events available too.
I only partially agree with you.
Agree: Betting on political events is very interesting. It's true if we know that in life, there are something that you should never talk about, and one of them is politics. It is very controversial and can create conflicts between you and other people even they are your family members, friends, colleagues, etc.
Disagree: It's not easy to know who will win an election. Even nominees in an election won't be sure about election ending so you are as an outsider, can not be sure about it. You can collect information around, but it can not give you absolute accurate answer for a winner of an election.
In my case I had no idea who was going to win. When I made the bet I considered it pretty much 50/50, to tell you the truth. What I did do was bet on the candidate I thought was the least bad. Not that I am a fan of Trump but Kamala seemed much worse to me. Now as an effect of it winning not only have I won the bet, but the investments I have in S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Bitcoin and MSTR have had a nice upside as well.
