Political activists already treat elections like team sports, so why not watch and bet on actual team sports instead? The stakes are a lot lower in sports. Sports don't really change public policy at all, since the Nashville Metropolitan Council has shown local governments are willing to shell out $1 billion for shiny new stadiums even for hapless teams like the Tennessee Titans .

Thankfully, if you do prefer politics to sports, betting on the election is now legal in America .
