Kinda weird but the weirdest was this people betting on it but who am I to be a wet blanket over what they've enjoyed on whatever they bets on. Well, whatever the result I hope that by this event there will be a donation to be made up for those sharks besides they are near on extinction.

Upon reading the article I saw some positive impact on this and I say it's not that bad besides those sharks we're not harm at all. But hoping this wouldn't lead to negative things like exploitation of those sharks since many would know now where they are.

"Others saw additional benefits to such a team-up. It could lead to an especially positive outcome if MyBookie “offered donations to shark researchers”, who work in a field that is often in need of more financial support, says Jasmin Graham, a marine biologist at Mote Marine Laboratory."

If the bet is for searching donation to help the sharks, I think that will be a good idea because people can donate their money while enjoying betting something different from the other things. So in this matter, no winner, but the money will be to the sharks. People can buy whatever they choose, while they also donate.

If that is a success, perhaps, another bet will be starting for the animal that almost extinction, so we can help the animal to continue to survive, and they can lives better.

But still, feeling not right to bet on that sharks is on me, and I think that I don't have to use the animal to bet. As you said, there are still many online sports betting or other gambling games that we can bet. But that will come up to every people to bet on the animal.

I don't see and understand how's that betting becomes a concern. Reading fully the article and looking at the whole, I see there's actually nothing wrong there. Let's just make it simple and not too technical.

Well then, every people have different approaches so I got the picture.

Data are available to the public since the Ocearch inception so not new if these sharks are being tracked. That's what they served for.

I believed these areas are also tracked by the authorities in case of unauthorized or illegal activities.

This is my first time hearing this kind of betting so I am very curious if what will be the mechanics of the game and the odds and etc. I am not so sure also if it will bring a positive result even if it is new, there is still a big chance that many will not be interested to it as there are very few who knows about the sharks.

No shark was harmed but I don't like how the game result was provider because the race result was provider by a third party which was said to be a nonprofit company which has been tracking the animals’ movements for years and despite no animals are harmed what about the team involved in fixing the device used to track the animals.
Honestly, I don't like the idea of shark gambling, and horse, dog race gambling is still ok by me.

Odds for shark racing also aren't going to be added overnight to providers, it's way too exotic to track and they definitely need to invent specialized technology to weigh each shark movement into the odds, and even then there will likely only be Win-Lose-Draw choices made, because other metrics only really exist for mainstream sports. Like you can put sensors on a playing field and track the players' movements and that's probably how it's done for football, basketball, American football etc. Even esports betting only have these three odds, not sure about horse racing though because I never bet on that.

So I woulsn't be surprised if only Mybookie continues to have odds for shark racing, assuming they're even allowed to resume those operations.

I don't think most gamblers want to bet in markets they don't understand (like this one).

If they wont be sued out then they would continue since they are just getting information on third party and if there would be no complaints then they would continue.

I dont see any reason why they will be sue concern the shark betting since the bookmaker are not involved in the shark tracking or result provider

Some might not really much interested but there are people who do love exotic kind of bets just like this one.I dont know on whats the set-up about migration of sharks and
on how winner to be determined.

I'm among those that dont find the race interesting. The race winner are determine through the data provided by Ocearch

I am not a fan of any forms of animal betting even horse, cockfighting, etc. Here in our country, some people gamble with spiders, people find different things to gamble on. If this kind of betting will take place sharks will have to be injected trackers to be able to accomplish the goal of the race. I don't enjoy any gambling forms that includes animals being harmed.

No shark were harmed due to the online bookmaker. the sharks in question already have a tracking device which were put by the conservationist to track their migration route long before the bookmaker decided to make a bet out of their migration route.

I didn't really like what the bookmaker did about using the Ocearch(name of the organization) data without properly informing them. but the Ocearch themselves was open to the idea about what the bookmarker did. they are also open for negotiation for possible team-up between the bookmaker and the Ocearch. of course, the two teaming up would mean Ocearch would get a commission or something from the bookmaker which would help their organization's funding.

I dont see the bookmaker using tbs Ocearch data without proper involvement because Ocearch are doing the activities for scientific research and if the idea was put into gambling it a bonus for them since they are seeking for donation already and the fund they will get providing the data result to bookmaker will worth it.

How would you want responsible & skilled people to participate and still call them gamblers?

This is ok if it's about correctly predicting the sharks migration in sustainable/safe manner and to help the animals.

Not a gamble at all but since there is money involved you can still tagged this one as gambling, not unless all the money collected will all be used and donated to protect the natural resources and the natural habitat of a wild animal. Predicting the migration could be more difficult, like you have to know where the sharks are going down deeper.

Though I can say that I am interested in knowing the said game and will try it if in case I can easily understand the mechanics but the problem is the other gamblers whether they have time to study the mechanics before they will start betting.

But I don't want to bet on the sharks or other animal betting because I am not feeling right to bet on them. I think that better to bet on sports or other gambling games, and I think many people will do the same. But if you are still interested in that, you can try it on.

Animal betting is seems abusive especially if they are trained to fight or do to activities out of their will, same with these sharks though they are not trained to do it or harm but if they will put some chips or locator inside of them that may affect their system it can be harmful. However if it's just lke a betting for fun and they will not be irresponsible to do any harm for the sharks and just keep the sharks do what they wanted then it's fine. But I don't see any fun betting with animals there are still online sports betting, casino games and live casino games to play with.

If they put some chips or locators inside the sharks to study their behavior, that will not be a problem because they want to know how the sharks can survive in the wild ocean and how their lives. I am okay with that because that can help us research their lives, and we can get more information about the sharks' lives.

But still, feeling not right to bet on that sharks is on me, and I think that I don't have to use the animal to bet. As you said, there are still many online sports betting or other gambling games that we can bet. But that will come up to every people to bet on the animal.

The great white sharks fall unders the endangered species category as they are hunted mainly for their fins and teeth. But how can betting on their migration probably help them. Conservationists and environmentalist have been raising their voice for so many years now and they have not been able to stop this illegal fishing how can the community raise an alarm by betting on their migration pattern. I think it is another way to lure gamblers into betting on something new.

Even though I am an animal lover, I am afraid of sharks. Maybe because it is influenced by Hollywood films that always make sharks
the fiercest predators in the sea. Just imagining it gives me goosebumps, let alone having to bet on sharks. It's clear I will avoid that,
after all, humans are always finding new ways to play gambling. But I didn't think sharks could be used as a gambling bet. Please feel
free to those who are interested to bet on the sharks, as long as no fighting and no violence. This can be an alternative gambling,
for those who are bored with the current gambling games.

reading through the article I'm glad that the conservationist is not immediately throwing the Idea to the trash and is actually thinking of negotiation and possible team up with the online bookmaker. although reading through the article it seems that this isn't the first time an online bookmaker did this. also, just like what was said in the article the Idea of betting to shark migration could be a great way to introduce people or make them interested in nature(specifically animal migration) but there are still concerns that should be heavily considered before going forward with the idea.

For people who are interested in nature will surely love this or will really be interested on these kind of bets.This is my first time on encountering on making out some bets on sharks migration
which is really very unusual and i didnt expect that it would be recognized to be included for something where people can make bet on.Good thing is that theres no shark that had been
harmed on this one unlike any other animal fight betting.

Though MyBookie representatives had contacted the nonprofit via Facebook earlier in June, a formal meeting about a collaboration had yet to occur when the virtual sportsbook debuted the event, without Ocearch’s permission or knowledge.

it is just sad that the online bookmaker didn't properly ask for permission to use Ocearch data to use for their online bookmaker.

They didnt ask out some permission? then thats really a problem but i dont see no harm about sharing up these data unless if Ocearch will ask out some part of the revenue. Cheesy

I think it is not possible for us to bet on White Sharks.As far as I know they are the most dangerous kind of sharks out there.And beside this I am never a fan of animal fighting or sea creatures fighting or whatever creature without logic to bet on them.

You do just make out some post without even trying to read on whats been written on op, its clear that this isn't something in talks about sea creature fighting.

and if you do have spent some time on clicking that link above then you can see this:

"invited gamblers to place wagers on the summer migration patterns of nine great white sharks. "

which is clearly stated that bettors would able to place wagers about migration patterns.Dont continue on posting up shit which is unusual for a Legendary member.
Always read up and do reply on topic always.

I never really thought that this kind of betting would occur as a replacement for the lack of sports events due to the pandemic. For me, this is something new but I wonder if bettors and gamblers would find interest in this kind of betting with sharks. Unlike the usual betting, I just find it not exciting or anticipating so I'm not sure if a lot of bettors will be interested. On the other hand, it's good to know that there are also some benefits to this for the sharks, not just making money out of it.
