Lol. Duck racing? Humans are just hilarious. Whoever thought about this? Two bored drunk dudes? Grin

Well this is my first time to hear about this. Certainly this type of sports is not popular in my country. I doubt if anyone has ever thought if anything as this exists. I just watched this on YouTube and it was just hilarious. Well, I am thinking that in the context of gambling, the youngest duck would have a much higher odds than an older duck.

This duck racing is somehow a rare idea that has come to sports betting, because commonly I saw only for Chicken like for a cockfighting. The difference on this racing was similar to horse racing, predicting who's ducklings will be catching the winning moment but it's really hard to point out which of those will hit the finish line since it's not that fast to walk or run like a horse or a dog race.
However, I don't think that much that this type of gambling sports will sustain same with other existing one that continuously gaining a lot of patronizers.
We share same thoughts on this subject of duck racing, because for me, i have seen dog racing, rabbit vs tortoise racing, horse racing, camel racing, and more than 101 other kinda animal racing as well as animal fighting that involves spectators placing a bet on a particular choice from the animal in competition.

I doubt duck racing would be anything new and apart or different from any kinda gambling game that has been existing. So if you have an interest and happen to have a place around where one can go watch these animal stunts and racing, do so for the fun of it and bet no more than you need to.

This game is relatively new to me, but I am not surprised that there is something like this because it can be done just like how you do it with chickens if you are doing cock fighting. Maybe any animal that would be competitive with each other.

I’m quite pessimistic about this type of game because it can be rigged to inject something into the duck.

Honestly it's really rare to see duck racing, I didn't find anything when I googled it.
Moreover, I had just heard of duck racing... Cheesy Maybe this event was not exposed by other media, and those who spread it were themselves posting on their social accounts.

Duck racing, I think it's completely gambling because we don't know which one is fast, which one is smart and which one is the loser. The odds should be @5.00 for all the ducks lol.
If money is at stake then it's pure gambling... All equal with odds of 5.00 maybe if I bet I will have a random and the most adorable duck. Hahaha

Unless one that looks obessed, I don't think anyone can be boastful of a particular duck that runs so fast....
Maybe the wild ducks when chased run a bit fast, but usually in events like this, all the pet ducks that they take care of lovingly run slow.

So far there has been no experience in my country of anything like this.
Yeah it seems like a fair game for gamblers because it will depend on luck, we don't know which duck is the fastest, maybe for me this is fair.
Do we really have much faster ducks? ... Unless one that looks obessed, I don't think anyone can be boastful of a particular duck that runs so fast....

Well, this ain't even possible as it's been confirmed to be a playful gathering, done in remembrance or celebration whatsoever.. it's been going on for over 70 decades and more.
Duck racing, I think it's completely gambling because we don't know which one is fast, which one is smart and which one is the loser. The odds should be @5.00 for all the ducks lol.
even if this is supposed to be converted into a game you could wager, all the ducks can't bear an odd as big as 5.00.. That's a one quick way to run yourself dry as a bookie.

Maybe it's a rural festival and they're not aiming to gamble, they're just having fun with the festival.
Yeah, rural festival usually use animals because they're lack of entertainment. Honestly it's really rare to see duck racing, I didn't find anything when I googled it.

Well you've seen people betting on who's the next president, who's going to win the miss universe, and the like, why not watch ducks racing each other? Grin. Animals being competitive isn't anything new, just that there are a lot of trainers for the most common animals like dogs and horses. And yeah, there's probably a lot less variance in them competing compared to human sports.
For presidential election, sometime we already know who will win.

For miss universe, it's really subjective, honestly I have no idea what the criteria to become a champion.

People are easily entertained that anything can be made into a eace and bet. I have seen some snail races as well. Must be a long race then, lol.  Wink I have seen quite some odd ones as well. I have seen not animals but husbands carrying their wives race to the finish line.
Snail racing, just like what you illustrated with the picture is even more creepy and boring ASF! How do I just sit back and watch snail crawling in a row? How's that even entertaining?

That being said, husbands carrying their wives on their back could happen most frequently as novelty games, marriage tours etc..

Not really animal centric but go sub to redbulls YT. They do crazy (and weird) sports out there and I wouldn't doubt it if Red bull all of a sudden decided to start some sort of competition with those types of activities. It's just weird... and entertaining at the same time lol.
Most of the sports being practiced by redbulls sportsmen ain't competitions already? What's the skydiving and mountain climbing for then? I'd be sick of my body secreting too much adrenaline (if there's anything like that..lol)

If there is such an activity, maybe I will be curious and interested to see it because it could be entertainment for me even if only for a moment.
However, if it is about this kind of gambling, I think it sounds very funny and interesting because in it there will be many bets, either in the form of money bets or just appreciation for the duck that will win.
And in my opinion, duck racing like this is still rarely held if in my country the most popular is cockfighting using real chicken media and gamblers can win when the chicken they bring can beat the chicken of other gamblers until the end of the match.

Interested in coming to this field, but not the purpose of betting but just want to see the action.

This is more of entertainment than gambling. I have seen a couple of those funny events and what I like most is the fun the people derived from those events. I have even see one involving babies crawling, where the winning is usually the first to move from one end to the other. It is usually more of fun than the gambling, maybe this is where gambling for fun really come in. Animals can actually be trained to be competitive so predicting the outcome of their even could be easy judging from their past records.

These are common in rural areas where people don't have that much to have fun with so they create such as their pets to have some race.

Quite curious how it would be seeing flying birds race.
There is actually pigeon racing and that's also a common thing ever since.

--> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeon_racing

Yes, here in our place that's what is the norm, and I think it's the season as well of spider fighting. There were reports that there are people being arrested for that kind of game, EXPLAINER: Why individuals get arrested due to spider-fighting
If that's illegal in an area, the police will have no choice but to arrest the organizers and everyone that are involved in it.

Pigeon racing? Lol, when I was a little boy around 12-13 years old I had racing pigeons, we will go ride on a train so a designated place where we go and throw our pigeons and the first one to go to home wins. And there are huge money on the line,  Grin

So I'm more familiar with this kind of race, although first time to hear about duck racing, but it sounds fun. And who knows, there could be someone from behind taking bets as well.
I guess everyone has that childhood with the pigeon racing but it's still as big as it is right now.

Duck racing is fun and you'd hear the quacks while they run for a one field goal.

Am not surprised at all by this kind of racing, perhaps I have heard about so many other types of games that doesn't exist in my country but it is happening in some other countries and people are betting on it. Speaking of animal fighting, we have dog fighting, those dogs are already trained to do what they are being prepared for, it is just like boxing and wrestling. It's not a life or death game, just a fight to get a winner.
You can hardly see all these unconventional games in online or crypto casinos. They are usually organized by individuals who determine the rules and bets. Dog fighting or other kind of violent animal sports is banned in some countries. It is usually organized secretly to avoid sanctions from government law enforcers. Like in the US, dogfighting is illegal in all the states.

Quote
Organizing dog fights is a felony, and it’s additionally persecuted by the Federal Animal Welfare Act. A person found guilty can go to jail for up to 5 years. , Depending on prosecution, the organizer of dog fights can get away with a fine or be put on probation. Spectators in dog fights can get up to one year of jail time or pay up to $5,000, or both. Bringing a minor to the fight increases the punishment.
https://petpedia.co/dog-fighting-statistics/#illegal%20in%20all%2050%20American%20states

Such gambling activitie doesn't happen in my country and I believe we have less of gamblers compared to some other countries that will gamble on what ever activity, even if it's life threatening or even if the activity is banned there, you will see some persons doing it secretly and putting their self at risk.

Well, I've been doing alot of reading in the past days.. During one of my expeditions, I stumbled on a video -- The competition between ducks ( not the rubber or simulated ones) -- a real duck!
* Has anyone found an interest in stopping by the fields where these games are initiated before?
* How was your xperience?
* Do you think it's a fair game for the gamblers and the organizers as well? More illustrations on the picture below:

The picture you shared is too blurred, and I can't really see any illustrations there, aside people just sitting around and maybe three or four ducks supposedly walking around.
But all the same, it's amazing to see or think that a live duck race is possible, this is the very first time I am coming across such.

All my life, I've known about horse and dog racing, never heard of duck racing, and right now, I am really wondering how organizers manage to get the duck to race against each other, are they possibly given some kind of training or what please?

We're seeing more of these odd races and games to bet on. There's also the mouse race that I've seen and I forgot that website where the race will happen.


People are easily entertained that anything can be made into a eace and bet. I have seen some snail races as well. Must be a long race then, lol.  Wink I have seen quite some odd ones as well. I have seen not animals but husbands carrying their wives race to the finish line.
Haha, this is the first time seeing that there's also this one. That's why we often see odd races that are being done from other parts of the world. This is slower than the rabbit and turtle race story.

Quote
The marble race too, etc. There are too many of them and I think that I saw that a long time ago when I was still a kid during local celebrations in the countryside.
I think in fairs, there are still games like that. But even online I see people betting in marbling races. I often see it on youtube or tiktok or some betting platforms.
Yes, I've only seen that on youtube and it seems enjoying to have but I haven't seen some bookies done that so probably just some local and p2p betting for those involved in the race.

Quote
It's fun but you'd see the animal welfare organizations will be dismayed by such races being organized.
That is why a lot of these races are often kept a secret and not really well known because I am sure they are violating a lot of animal rights just to make some of these races happen.
In fairness with this one shared by OP, stompix has explained that it's legal and no ducks have been harmed.

I have not come across such but it really do sound interesting like something that will be worth the time to watch, I have heard of other animals racing such as horses, dogs and one rare occasion tortoise tho that was a traditional settings, these animals can actually be trained to fit in to this activities and they are very likely to give premium entrainment from their activities, that which I witnessed did cause crazy adrenaline rush im most of the viewers presents as supporters of various tortoise were so intrigued a d really wanted to see the one they are supporting win, lol. As for the fairness of the game, it was at some point a really fair one as these animals were given the freedom to participate equally and they were also trained before the contest, given them equal competitive conditions.

Duck racing.. a new variety? Heck everything can be gambling nowadays frenn hahahah I found that some people do gamble in grammy award who nominee that gonna win, president election and etc. So no wonder if I find duck racing user for gambling to be honest it looks fine tho hahaha.


I see your point and it's true just a matter of artistry on how gambling facilatators will manage to attract interest from those gamblers around , just like with your example, those are options that gamblers can use to pick their bets, so no wonder something like this will be offer and there are people who might  find interest placing their bets.

Not going to be surprising as there's always people who will go and take the risk as long as there's possible profits if luck permits them to win.

During my gambling adventures, I have encountered such as: flying birds, horse racing, dogs, buffalo and so on, I have not found the duck game in my area, even though it looks unique, it seems to be fun and looks fair in the game.

Maybe you are interested in enjoying this bet, to be honest, I don't have any experience in that matter, but if you look at duck racing, it is not much different from betting on dog racing and so on, where the one who runs fast will win the bet.

We understand that recently many new types of gambling have emerged, as long as the animal can be competed and making money is not an obstacle for traditional gambling lovers, this is an interesting adventure and needs to be competed.
