Jamaican general election betting is a new trend in the Caribbean country. Jamaican Sportsbook IslandBet came up with an unusual idea. The sports betting company is permitting Jamaicans to take their bets on the possible outcome of the elections.
The unique practice of the Jamaican general election betting is a pioneer attempt in the island’s history. People can take their bets on two parties, People’s National Party (PNP) or Jamaica Labour Party (JLP). Moreover, they can also speculate on the number of seats each party will gain.
Those who have not taken their bets so far, this Wednesday is the last date when wagering on parties is possible. Since the elections take place on Thursday, the special option on IslandBet will close at Wednesday midnight.
The practice of betting on ‘out of the sport world’ is actually quite popular. If you check the things people bet on, you’ll be surprised that the betting world is a vast ocean since you can bet on simply anything. For example, people actually bet on the name of royal babies or the existence of alien life. Jamaican general election betting is just one of these limitless creative betting probabilities outside of sports.
As the owners of IslandBetting – Adam Epstein & Gassan Azan – pointed out, their idea got a great response from voters and even from non-voters too. They both confirmed that election betting is a common type of wagering throughout the world. According to their consideration, allowing bets taking on the outcome of general election is something to enrich Jamaica’s betting industry.
Island bet is the Caribbean’s best sports book offering wide range of betting opportunities. Bettors can choose from tones of betting options from politics to football including motorbikes and snooker. Caribbeans can also bet on Oscars online if they want to add some more excitement to their weekend.
