Politics. Ireland: pre-match political markets
Politics. Ireland brings together political bets on one country or institution: elections at several levels, the fortunes of a party, an office holder keeping or losing a post. Each event in the group asks one precise question, settled on the official outcome.
Breaking down an event title
Titles mostly follow the same build, with segments separated by full stops:
Segment | What it specifies |
|---|---|
Country | The territory concerned, at the start of the title |
Contest or person | The type of election (Senate Elections, Governor Elections, Mayoral Election, for instance) or the name of an office holder |
Year | The edition of the vote |
Constituency | The state, city or district, when the vote is local |
Question | Winner, Winning Party, Victory Margin, control of a chamber or Special Bets |
Reading a title through to its last segment keeps two close events apart, such as the winner of a race and the margin of that win, which open with the same words.
Two ways events appear in the list
For some questions, candidates or parties appear right under the title with their odds, and the bet can be taken from the list itself. Other events show only the "All events" button, which opens the full page. An icon of a speaker at a lectern precedes the date of each event.
Combining questions from one election
Two outcomes count as related when one affects the other, which can apply to the winner of a seat and the party controlling the assembly. An accumulator does not accept related outcomes; if it holds some, the one with the lowest odds is taken out. A dedicated control empties the coupon in one go, sparing you the line-by-line removal when the ticket needs a fresh start.
