New website allows you to gamble and make money on your political intelligence.
Everyone has their political opinions. Hell, it wouldn’t be politics without the ability to voice our views toward a topic or candidate, drunk or sober. That’s the beauty of it. We all think we’re right. Sadly, when we’re right, there’s not a vindication of greatness regarding our expert opinion besides the sweet delight of rubbing it in our deskmates' faces the next morning at work. But that’s all about to change with a new website that allows you to gamble and make money on your political intelligence.
Think DJ Trump will win in November? Positive Hillary will have three million viewers for her DNC address? A certain Bill Clinton will sleep with the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the first week of being First Gentlemen? Put your money where your mouth is and ante up.
Predictit.com gives you the opportunity to see how well you understand political strategy and general social theory with the consequence of losing your life savings or beer fund. It's the stock market for politics. If you like a certain outcome, buy yes. If not, then buy no. Once the outcome comes to fruition, you either get paid or lose it all.
Recently, members of the site were able to bet on how many television viewers Hillary would attract when giving her speech at the DNC. We’re guessing the same amount that watched Rachel Maddow read other newspaper headlines for an hour each night: fifty. The possibilities are endless and the rewards are fruitful.
If you’re like us and have an itch that just can’t be scratched, we suggest tapping into the world of political gambling. Not only does it makes watching the dog and pony show more bearable, but it could also earn you some extra money. And if politics isn’t the needle to your vein, just remember that online gambling is legal in the UK.
