Well, if I was passing and see where this kind of race competition is going on, I will not hesitate to drop by and witness it myself. If after observing and I see it's a fair game, I will place a bet. What's just running through my head now is, can ducks be also trained to perform these kind of activity? It's the first time and hearing this.

People are exploring new sports to entertain themselves and also increase gambling options so I'm not too surprised to see that there's duck racing. If it can be proven that the animals are not harmed in any way and put through rigorous training that is beyond their capacity, then it's a fun sport. What I will not support is animal fight for our entertainment and gambling, I think that it's cruel to engage animals to fight without their consent which is not possible to get. Animal sports like horse, dog or duck racing must have strict rules to protect the animals from unnecessary harms.

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.

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.

Even there's a race for stone. Tongue

People nowadays really have all sorts of ideas. But honestly, this is still better compared to cockfighting, where roosters end up dying, and that’s the more popular one! Anyway, I don’t think this type of game is available for betting in sportsbooks, is it?

People are getting creative, yeah this is better than cockfighting, but I doubt if it's really make people satisfied to watch the match. Horse racing and greyhound racing are exciting to watch because they're very fast and smart. While duck, I expect there would be few ducks that confused and don't move at all because they can't be trained like dogs.

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:

Being honest, I have heard and seen more of strange entertaining events that might be equal to bet on but I am not so convinced to bet on it because I can not imagine betting on insensitive events that the participants such add this "Dcuk racers" would not give me expected winning results because they are animals and not even simulated to assume that the bookmakers has already determined which wins then you just need to decide which that one could be.

Funny as though. I literally can not bet on such. What if it the Duck flies on the air and get to the expected point but meanwhile the race rules states "race by running basically on land". Lol.

I guess the Duck you betted on must had fouled and cut off your bet already because they are just animals. Or do I assume those Ducks are trained to understand the rules? 😃

People will bet on just about anything. Turtle racing, cockroach racing, duck racing, dog racing, anything they can make money from. I'm not shocked you found actual duck racing because these days nothing shocks me anymore in the gambling world..

okay, I thought Just a bunch of weirdos going around to wager on games in the odd categories... What sort of pleasure is derived from such games -- especially spotting on a particular ROACH to win in a race? How do the organizers go about such things?

I learnt the winners must eat the leading ROACH... What a gross way to look for money. I watched one documentary on how those roaches are being caught, then I wondered if the eaters normally saw those videos as well.

How are the ducks motivated to race all at the same time I got to wonder. That would be pivotal to deciding if its a fair and kind way to treat them, if they all chase a bit of bait like they race greyhounds or similar then maybe its just fine.

it doesn't seem much as though the ducks are chasing any bait though, but I do know that something keeps them coordinated.

I've also never seen ducks raced like that though they are fast from recollection. The rubber ducky race is probably an old one in origin, maybe done with wood ducks years ago and thats a real race though not professional :p

Never heard about such competition. Google search lead me to rubber duck racing, but real duck race is really something unusual. I believe it is limited to one special area, maybe city or a state. Also it looks like one of a kind. I mean, I really doubt that in many countries there are such duck races. Maybe there are other animal races, but it isnt popular or the info about it isnt spread much. Hard to say that this is a real competition, or kind of gambling. Looks more like a weekends fun activity on a fair.

Previously i know horse racing or dog racing which very popular even in my country there was buffalo racing or cow racing and this is a festival that is regularly held for every year and this is officially which mean the festival is licensed by the local government because it can attract many tourists to watch this festival but i think this is first time for me to heard about duck racing and recently i have attempts to find the information about this thing but because this race is not popular so i couldn't find more information regarding this race but i believe duck racing is exist but seems this event only available on the particular countries so which mean only the people who lives on those countries who can bets for this event

I doubt there are serious gamblers that are betting on duck races. This is probably some local tradition somewhere. People in small towns often find strange ways to entertain themselves. It is fine if it is all for fun and the animals aren’t being mistreated. It is an interesting curiosity but not something that would ever draw my attention. I still prefer traditional sports betting instead of these weird novelty bets.

I have been gambling for well over 20 years now and to me this is new, I have seen many weird type of bets over this time span but never a duck race. It just shows that people tend to invent anything they think would bring them money and entertainment and this is just one such case. The ducks are not that smart like dogs are which we see them racing, these ducks do not move or run that fast without huge motivation and even when I go with my family at the lake we give them food some of them come some do not, so I would not ever bet on such events.

Reading this thread made me immediately go on a search regarding this type of race in our country, I thought this race should have existed, and sure enough, it really does exist in our country. But unfortunately, this kind of competition never existed in our part, it is still in our country, but not in our part of the province. So, I don't have any experience regarding this race.

I don't know what kind of competition this is, but it clear that nowadays there are many types of competitions involving certain animals, I have never heard or seen this type of competition because in my country, ducks are only livestock that are raised for food.
But this is little interesting because there are so many creations and creativity of someone in creating various competitions that utilize several animals so that they can increase the selling price for the duck itself that wins each competition event, it just that I will never be interested in seeing or following it because it doesn't really seem to provide adrenaline and satisfaction.
If it for betting, I myself will not follow it because I don't really know how each duck will compete in this competition, on the other hand it is not type of competition that can be easily predicted which one will win.

These days almost anything could be used for gambling. Different animals could be used for betting and it's really fun. But I have never experienced duck racing. I reside in a place where you rarely see ducks; this might be the reason.

I am a supporter of the fight against animal cruelty. Subjecting animals to violent sports activities where they can be injured or killed because of gambling shouldn't be acceptable globally. Animals also suffer pain, so they should be treated well. Sports like animal fights are a good area for me, but if it is just racing, that's a good sports.

Duck racing? Wtf! Haven't heard of it before. I'm just wondering how these ducks run towards the finish line? I mean, is there a bait? Like what the arabs do with their hounds racing?
Anyway, people would always love to put a bet or gamble on things that makes them interested. This duck racing thing is what of the weirdest place you could gamble. Here in my place, there's actually a tournament in spider match and I'm pretty surprised that a lot of money has been spent from gamblers almost as much as with cock fighting.

I bet this happens mostly in the provinces where they are breeding ducks. It looks like a fun thing to bet for but I think the bets are also local only and there's nothing in the bookies for online betting. I mean, horse racing has one and it will be easier for a gambler to just bet there than this.
Although as I said, it does look fun to watch and maybe bet for, where to find them is the trouble. I have seen a dog race and I think many unusual events will be created due to gambling being so popular now. Next time there might be pig racing or rabbits maybe. Grin

I also saw this video pop up on my social media reel. I guess the system used will not be much different from horse racing. the ducks run on land not swim in water.
this kind of betting is really for fun. and we will never really know what color duck will win the race. I think this kind of game will be fair for both gamblers and organizers. everyone comes to bet and have fun.
I don't think there will be such a competition in my area. I am more familiar with cockfighting.

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.

Quote from: Ambatman on September 29, 2024, 06:20:58 PM

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

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.

You will find that throughout history and around the world's diverse territories there are all kinds of animal racing:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Animal_racing

In countries where camels are popular people will do camel racing. In farmer's fairs in the U.S. it is sometimes a tradition to do pig racing. I assume in certain regions where ducks are more common it would make sense to do duck racing. Well, the issue with certain animals becomes their ability to be trained or not. To make it competitive the animal has to understand that there's an incentive to finish fast, otherwise with the participants not trying their best it's not a competition.

Hopefully though, now with the resurgence of gambling we don't see also a resurgence on animal racing. Truth be told, it's a wasteful activity. We already do enough harm on the environment with raising animals we want to eat, increasing breeding numbers just to put animals in races is not only wasteful but also inhumane because these animals lack the consciousness to make choices.

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.

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.

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.
