Not a fan of pageants but even if I am, I ain't betting. There's so much happening backstage that it makes it VERY hard to predict who would win. One round Ms. So And So seems to be a great contender and then just after a swimsuit change or Q&A, she's gone. So much politics and backstabbing (even heard stories of contestants finding their clothes with runs or their shoes missing).

Very different from sports where (most of the time) there's no denying who won. I'd rather play dice than bet on a pageant contestant.

I didn't know there was this kind of bet, but when it comes to gambling then of course there will be risks and greed is always there whenever it is. So this is just a different type of betting but basically gambling will have the same structure to choose and predict, but ultimately it is a lucky factor that will be the main for your winnings.

how we can select the winner like the basis on it especially when the pageant is not yet started.

I guess you mean standards or templates for determining a winner. They probably will consider beauty, honesty, intelligence, respect, etc
How can they measure beauty? Being chubby will be awful for some people and really liked by other people but miss universe are not getting any chubby contestants so it means every chubby girl is ugly?

Nah its a big political game.

The betting industry is growing
I agree with that, we can see the improvement as there's  a lot of gambling sites that are operating in the space now.
Woa, I would like to say this is really quite impressive because it’s very rare to still see gambling as a platform for entertainment these days. Almost every player believes it’s an avenue to make money and the irony of it is that they keep on loosing.

I believe one word many gamblers hate to hear is knowing that the casino houses are meant to make the money and they feel the money should be for players instead and to me seems really awkward. Like, they provided the fun, so what should be their benefit. Players should be sincere to admit they get entertained gambling, if they can accept this then everyone would gamble for fun and be wise in playing to avoid excessive loses.

Something like a beauty contest is too subjective for me to bet on.  The decisions is entirely on a panel of judges.  Instead of something like a basketball game that has a very direct and final result without much influence from a 3rd party.  Too easy for the result of this to be fixed by corrupt judges.
That’s why it cannot be considered as  gambling materials,actually how can we expect a fair result when every contest controversy happens.i believe that there is a strict reason why candidates don’t speak after every pageant but we can feel that there’s something inside them .
Just recently when Steve Harvey not intentionally mistaken the call for miss Pia Wortzback happens is a example that it’s easy to manipulate the judging(though I respect how Steve ask for apology)

Anyway I am not into betting in Pageant gambling,I rather bet for NFL than this one lol

This should where I heard such like beauty contest gambling platforms, I thought that it was done within the beauty industry and not in the general. If I am to gamble on the basis of beauty, I will like to go for looks and popularity and nothing more. How can one get the site where this contest usually take place to get accustom with the practice.

The problem is that it is really subjective and unless you know the preference of the judges you will be at a disadvantage for betting.  This event is too easy to rig compared to sport matches which would be really obvious.

Never really heard of beauty contest gambling. I guess the gambling viewers are the actual gamblers and not the beauty contestants?
Man, there are lots of things to gamble for in this world.

I do, in fact I won my bet on the recent Miss Universe because I put my bet on Catoriona Gray to win.
IIRC, the odds that I get was around over 6.00, and I don't put a big amount actually as there's a lot of contestant and that gives me a little chance of winning, but thanks God I was lucky to win.
I would've won if I know that there's also a beauty contest gambling but sad to say I didn't know that it existed so I didn't have a chance to bet Catriona Gray as the winner of Miss Universe. It sure is a hell of a win in my opinion as it is hard to know if the beauty contest contestant that you have chosen to bet will win.
Why I put my bets with Catriona and give trust to her is just because she represent our country and I feel that she could win that time.
However, this is a some sort of trust and luck with. And I look into the next Miss Universe contest to make another bets, hopefully I will win back again.

I don’t believe there’s an existing site for beauty contest, in my years of gambling I have never heard of it and I am only reading it here for the first time but I will try and do more research on it but I want to believe is more popular in offline gambling centers.

I sincerely admit that this would be a beautiful gambling idea and I believe it will be very fair on the side of the players since the requirements for winning will be based on popularity and personality and it will now be on the side of the players to do their work and weigh who is more popular and who has a better personality. I will do anything to play on a beauty contest site if I see one because I am sure that will most definitely be favorable.

The betting industry is growing and people now bring many opportunities for people to gamble and make money.
And I agree with that.
IMO, in some of few things that I see from theymos, he also has a special interest in girl and bitcoin.
For example; he is admin of r/GirlsGoneBitcoin at Reddit Grin

People will bet to anything that deserves to be bet.
And girls/boy contest/sports is a good place to be earnings. So, why not?

Anyone here tried to gamble in some Beauty Contest? Just like Miss Universe.
How was your experience in gambling with this kind of tournament, like the risk or greed?

Also, when you are betting in such beauty contests, how we can select the winner like the basis on it especially when the pageant is not yet started.
And what other possibilities games to bet in one beauty contest? Just like in basketball, there are A.) first half highest point, B.) Over and under overall total scores, C.) Odd/even total scores, etc.
These are completely off for the common people I guess but I had seen many unregulated way of betting on the contenst like these from my locales not on any website and in cryptos but these results were highly manipulated by the ego of biggest companies since we never know how the contests are picked as winner since there is no measure for the beauties externally.

But I would definitely disagree with you on this, gambling is an opportunity to earn but not for us, only for those who own a gambling site, our opportunity here is not to make money but to get the entertainment, that's the reality.

I have never gamble on "beauty contests" but I have decided to follow the available beauty contests information and in my country beauty contests will take place very soon and I will try to sell this idea with them and see if we can bet on the contest.

Although I always fail in predicting the winners of such contests, I would like to try my luck this year with betting real money on the one I think is the best. I tried to google it, but it looks like no reputable gambling sites are accepting such bets. I may be wrong, but I think it is perfectly suitable for the freebitco.in's betting section. I'd surely bet on one of the beauties, if this option was added there.

Your fail may be because you are not from the beauty industry. There are many aspects that need to be assessed in a beauty contest, maybe only people in the beauty industry understand. Or if you are a make-up student, you will definitely know what aspects of the jury affect their assessment.

I myself will not try contests like this because I do not like and do not understand what aspects are judged by the jury. I'll bet on sports or dice, because that's all I understand. So in my opinion, don't bet on what you don't understand.

Like I said, I would still bet on a beauty contest. Yes, I know little about this industry, but many things depend on luck anyway. Like in sports betting, for instance, I don't follow cricket games and I'm far from being expert in the field, but I won several bets with high odds on cricket events already.

As far as I know, politics plays a big part in decision-making on beauty contests. It's not about how a woman looks, but rather about how she talks.

This kind of gambling contest would be interesting and exciting for men!
However, I don't know if I can personally bet on such a contest. I am sure that I am going to lose all my money. Every woman would look like a winner to my eyes so I couldn't decide which to choose.

I feel you on this one. Every constestant is beautiful in their own way and all deserves to win the spot, so I also find it hard to decide. But, when faced in such situation, my resort is to bet on the candidate representing my country so I wouldn't have the hard time to bet on other candidates.

However, if I would bet on someone apart from the one from my country, I probably would consider someone who looks unique. I mean, someone who is beautiful but fiesty at the same time. It's kinda hard to explain because it's something that I feel the moment I see the candidates. That would be my basis on looks.

Personality, on the other hand, also plays a major factor but it will require lots of efforts to know one's personality. Staying tuned on what they did and what they do would be my way to check the genuine personality. Then, there comes the wit. And I think I can see that by how the ladies speak in front of the camera which may also showcase how confident they are with themselves.

Beauty contest gambling sounds new to me but I think it's interesting to try.

No Im not experience any beauty contest gambling because just like Miss Universe in the first place we give only our bet who win but no money involve and I do not know if someone do that they gambling with the use of beauty contest. But if they have I do not know what is the criteria for them to win. Never in my mind that beauty contest can also possible to be in gambling.
If you know how to gamble in sports, for sure you will find that sportsbook also offers odds in the beauty contest, particularly the most prestigious one like the Ms. Universe. Even the Game of Thrones, there's betting on it, so it's not rate anymore as beauty contest has a lot of viewers also, sportsbook will not be tired of offering any beauty contest they think will attract bettors because they will never loss, they just live by the commission they earn.

It never crossed my mind that people bet on these pageants! I just thought gals and gays just go on to viewing parties and watch and scream hysterically. I personally don't know anyone who has bet on a Ms. Universe pageant.

Something like a beauty contest is too subjective for me to bet on.  The decisions is entirely on a panel of judges.  Instead of something like a basketball game that has a very direct and final result without much influence from a 3rd party.  Too easy for the result of this to be fixed by corrupt judges.


Even without corruption, judges have their own biases. Many times crowd favorites don't win these pageants.
These are the issues why betting on Miss universe wouldnt be considered to be worthy due into these various reasons.
Like said about biases and other controversial decisions.Even a crowd favorite wont really give out assurance to take the crown in the end.
We can somehow see their qualities and performance,Q&A but those arent enough for you to be convinced on what would be the possible result.
Come on guys, do you think this is the first time that biases are happening? Even in sports, there are biases already, i think it's just because there is a money involved that's why we can't escape the reality that these bias gaming is happening and all we have to is trust and respect judges decision.
