Topic: BattleBots : Is This Another Form of Sports? - page 2. (Read 266 times)
I've watched this lot many times. International tournaments were conducted often. There are different levels of participants from junior senior and so on. Until now I haven't thought of this into gambling. Maybe this could make the technology dependent people get attracted when added on gambling platforms. It is a kind of game than a sports in my opinion.
~ For me it's the other way around. Rarely do I encounter people who would want to bet on obscure games and titles. I'm not saying BattleBots isn't famous, it's just that it needs a greater variety and amount of audience in order to be viable for betting and sporting competitions. Right now it just wouldn't cut it to have the game be featured in few channels and it needs to be onboarded to bigger audiences so many people could see it and grow interest in it. Once all of this is achieved I believe the fanbase will thrive by itself and would then propose and push stuff like this themselves.
I do not think that the Discovery Channel, which broadcasts in almost every country in the world, has an insufficient audience.I think what hinders from BattleBots from being popular is due to its cost. Creating and providing parts for each bot may costs an estimate of $40,000-$50,000 depending on the parts that individual players put. Another thing, since budgeting is an area in which most people have problems, there exists an inferiority where teams that have a higher budget can put whatever upgrades or parts to their advantage.
While BattleBots may seem fun from the viewer's perspective, I doubt that we will see a wide-scale implementation where betting could be applicable due to its uncertainty when it comes to its future.

And I think that teams that design robots and participate in competitions don't think about money at all. It's their hobby and they have a lot of fun doing it.
What uncertainty are you talking about when this competition has been going on for years - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BattleBots?
And my questions are:-
- Have you seen this game before?
- Do you consider this another form of sports?
- How would you like it if our betting/gambling sites integrate this game so we can bet on them?
Yes, I have seen this aired in a local channel, and yes it's interesting especially when you've first saw it.
However, this kind of sport could be very expensive, and it might not get popular like registering this kind of sport into a sports gambling website.
Also, not everyone understands how machine works and not everyone is interested in learning.
So, I guess this could become popular as an entertainment. This will also give those mechanical engineers and mechanical geeks a boost for their career.
It's considered a sport probably but it's not popular all over the world.
This reminds me of the movie "Big Hero 6", where they have a robot and bet to destroy each other.
It's another innovation in the world of sports, but it's more interesting if this kind of sports will be listed in the sportsbook, it will surely gain more attention as people love to bet on games they are watching or participating in.

A few years ago in my country they even showed BattleBots on one of the cable TV channels. It's quite a spectacular competition that can be used for betting. I do not know if I would bet on these competitions, but I'm sure that if you add such a possibility will increase the number of fans and therefore the possible bettors.

I enjoy watching battlebots but sometimes the battles feel a little bit unfair especially since you can alter with the parts and features of your fighters they way you wanted it. Surprisingly the low-profile builds often get more wins than bulky and tanky machines, Minotaur and Witch Doctor are a good examples of these builds. As per its viability of becoming a sport that people could bet on, I think it is possible given that the game should get a wider array of following and a far greater reach than just being exclusive on cable TV. Livestreams over the internet could also be a great thing that will help with its fame.

I wonder if any bookmaker provides the option to bet on these fights ..? 
I doubt there's any atm, but it's possible for them to offer such markets if there's enough demand from their players. I remember this one event called marbles olympics and I think they got popular enough where some sportsbooks started offering markets on their event. Wasn't this pretty old?
This series is indeed old, I still remember some sites used to have a similar flash game. 
Wasn't this pretty old? I'm pretty sure some colleges or even high schools that have robotics clubs participate in such things. My high school had one though I don't think they ever participated since there are not much schools with a robotics club but they did make something like those iirc. Anyhow, I've also watched a few matches before online, randomly popped up in my watch list or feed, they were pretty amusing to watch but not something I'd like to bet on. I guess I'm more interested in being a participant than an observer maybe?
I was flipping through channels on my TV and came across this channel where technologically built bots fight against the other under the control of their maker using a remote control.
After watching the game that day, I liked it, and to be honest, I enjoy watching it this days.
And my questions are:-
Incase you've never seen this game before, watch here https://youtu.be/2TSjp_cIdk4

Contestants control their armoured and technologically-advanced robots through a remote control and battle other robots to win the competition.

This type of competition has been taking place since around the mid-90s. In Great Britain, this was popularized through the TV series Robot Wars, which has been shown since 1998:

I have seen BattleBots on TV but never thought about betting. Fairness is going to be a real problem if the bookies accept bets on these battles, losers will not be convinced the "machine" was fully functional. lol
Btw, thanks for sharing the Youtube link, gonna watch that battle once more.

I watched this on Netflix and I didn’t know its gambling yet since its a local competition and the main goal is to ruin the anymore or at least disable them so they can’t fight again.
This can be a sports of Bots, and the game is really entertaining, they are also creating good bots with a lot of functions. Can’t wait to see this on the mainstream and maybe soon hit the crypto gambling site as well, there’s a chance for this.

I used to watch it a lot. Minotaur(one of the bots that are competing in it) was my favorite.Do you consider this another form of sports?
why not? I mean, the world of sports is changing and we would probably see more of this kind of show, events, competition.How would you like it if our betting/gambling sites integrate this game so we can bet on them?
I'd love to. but as far as I know, the ones that are being shown on the tv are pre-recorded. the show should be shown live if we want to see it being catered on sportsbooks.
I’ve watch a lot of series on Netflix with this Battlebots and you can really say that its entertaining to watch and its amazing how those people works with their bots, they are all genius. Well, its not yet a gambling but if there’s a site that offers a bet, that could be the start. This is just more of a movie games and created for that alone, let’s see if the competition will expand.
I have seen this Sports on several movies but wasn't sure it every existed and didn't bother doing any research about them I think I'm only getting to know it's real existence today.
It would be nice if it gets integrated into formal gambling either online most preferred or local gambling hubs. At least it would add to the lots of varieties we have around gambling house.

So i did some digging and found out that Battlebot's is not a live event, so the idea of betting would be impossible. It's a pre-recorded series that airs off after sometime of recording, so there is no way gambling platform would trust the event organizers and fans not to leak the results of the even before the airing.
I don't think gambling platforms would ignore it if it was a live event like football or tennis.

It was considered a sport, specifically, robot-fighting sport.
Familiar with that event and competition and honestly, already watched some matches several times before although not familiar with the robot owners. The reason I got hooked watching those fights is that I'm amazed at how those owners create a robot and try to make it sturdy. There are robots that focus on attacks, others are defense, and lastly, hybrid.
About the betting part, still lack of knowledge to those participating teams/groups so I might have difficulty betting on those. Like I said, I just got hooked because of my interest in their robot modifications. Looking forward to seeing them at crypto-betting sites.
Somehow I really like this mini machine fight. Honestly, I've been a fan of this show for several years. As for this kind of gambling alternative, as far as I know, only between teams that often make bets. This is indeed a type of exercise but not physically related. The most prominent is his skill in running extreme cars to destroy the opponent's car. This is my favorite machine fighting game.

I guess we are in the same boat

Yes it's been 3 years nowQuote

Of course, it is a sport. Electronic online games (Esport) are considered sports, then why not Battle bots?Quote

I would definitely love to see them on gambling platforms and root for TombStone, Minotaur or Bite force every other time

I have seen these games online and initially i was surprised to see the way robotics have changed and how they were able to create fighting robots but in the long run you seem to get bored watching them, it is the same like watching someone playing video game and you are the audience, i would like to play the game but not interested to watch them all the time unless i find some interesting technology better than what we have now.
