It is often said that the individual’s vote does not count in presidential elections. While this is largely true there is no reason why we the people cannot financially benefit from an election year.

Although your vote might be ignored in the grand scheme of things, because let’s face it the election is decided by the electoral college and not the people which is frankly a process that needs a complete overhaul and by the look of things this might happen sooner than later.

But I digress, what I wanted to talk about is the opportunity to make some money off of these politicians for once instead of them making money off of us. My preferred sportsbook AceSportsbook.com has the latest presidential odds that you can bet on right now and win some cash in the process.

Now a word of caution, when betting on the elections you must do so with a clear head, regardless of whether you are a conservative republican or a progressive democrat when you bet, you have to really consider the context of the bet and not who your personal favorite might be.

Remember you are not betting on whether you agree or not with the policies proposed by any given candidate, you are betting on the odds of this candidate to win either their party nomination or the presidency.

If you are an avid gambler like me, you might have noticed that sportsbooks all around have been offering lines on the presidential race since last year. After checking the lines at various places, I settled for the ones offered by AceSportsbook.com which is kind of a regular thing for me lately, they just seem to have better odds than the rest of the industry. Anyway, I made some wacky choices when the first lines were posted, some of which are now obvious flops but the craziest of them are still alive. Seriously who would have thought that Donald Trump would be the Republican frontrunner and that Bernie Sanders would be giving the establishment such a hard time?

Now because I considered these crazy but fun bets I did not put a lot of money on them which I now regret, the good thing is I can still bet on the election albeit not with the same odds, but these are now easier to make because of all the information we can get from polls and the predictions of the political pundits.

Making a bet on who will be the next president is the best way to beat the establishment, it’s a sure way to finally have these politicians make some money for us, and I don’t know about you but that sounds pretty good to me.
