Why not?) A rather cute type of competition for mine took it. It would be appropriate for the eg in the park of attires or on the family TTIP FARKS where to come with children and for the symbolic amount of the ticket to study in racing. And for residents of rural areas, you could bring your own ducks for participation. I would have the opportunity to observe me, I would be glad.
But of course, subject to moral standards and not to drive ducks for several hours in a row so that they do not experience stress and fatigue, this is important.

I have never bet on races. It is probably popular somewhere, but not among my circle. My friends and I prefer to bet on team games like hockey, there is excitement, struggle and interest. And races are something like fun and nothing more. Maybe there are epic horse races, where the rivalry is very close and at the last moment the underdog overtakes the leader, but I think this does not happen often. Nevertheless, in the last century it was very popular, probably some made a fortune on it or, on the contrary, lost huge amounts. In any case, duck races are only suitable for entertaining children)

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!

This is just for entertainment and cannot be taken seriously We have something like this during our fiesta and sometimes its dogs, carabaos and cows, This is for people to have fun during fiesta where the organizers will think of varieties of sports just to entertain people and honor their patrons.

This is usually done on remote countryside but making this a serious event will not get the support of bettors or even the government, I consider this cruelty to animal because ducks are not made for racing just like horses and some countries have laws against this.

This is the first time I've heard of such competitions. It looks funny, although there are many opportunities for manipulation. Most likely, there may be what I call "duck doping". It's funny, but has anyone tested the blood of these ducks for banned substances? Of course, you may find it funny and such competitions are held mainly for fun, but if people like them, then they can be held regularly. And regular competitions imply rules and restrictions.

I never see a competition between ducks but I have seen a cockfighting here which attract many people to join. Although right now cockfighting prohibit, I guess some people still go to a secret place and continue to do that.
The competition using animal is not fair for gamblers because their animal can died against animal. But for organizers, they can get the money and profit but I don't know how the calculations.
Maybe animal competition just existed in some local and not grow in many places because that can related to the regulation from the government. If the government prohibit gambling using animals, people will not try it unless they are often do that in a hidden places.

I don't see any big deal using animals for sports games because if we humans can do sports then they can as well partake in sports activities. The only addition to it is that people do bet on them. But what is the fun of the game if we don't have our favorite side to win and other losing side. That is why it's called sports and gambling is involve in sports so that gamblers will have fun or profit out of it.

Animal competition does exist in a lot of countries. Even those countries that it was bound in, people still practice the gambling and animal sports secretly.

* Has anyone found an interest in stopping by the fields where these games are initiated before?

Competitions like this are always fun if you have a little time to spare and I've witnessed a few of them but are not a duck competition. This is not the first time that animals are used to compete whether in fights, races or other activities and these animals are already trained for such purposes.

Quote

* How was your experience?

It's always entertaining and if you are not in a hurry to anywhere, you might not know the time you would have spent hours there.

Quote

* Do you think it's a fair game for the gamblers and the organizers as well?

This is one of the realest competitions in my opinion because it's live. Fine, there could be a planned work where the strong animals would be paired with the weak ones and it will be difficult for the gambler to solve the tricky puzzle. This is why it's only good to gamble only where you are familiar with and the team you know very well.

In this case, I'd rather watch and get entertained than gamble since I know little or nothing about the organizers, animal owners and the competing animals.

I have encountered rubber duck race before but the real duck, I haven't. But definitely, if there's rubber duck, more than likely, there's real duck. It may be new to some, but I believe, this has been going for so long.

An example is the Great British Duck Race in 2007 at River Thames, London with 165k rubber ducks participating.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_race

When it comes to real duck, the issue here is that some will accuse the organizers with animal cruelty and other things related to it. This is why some are against with real ducks. They are very careful with how they do things here.

However, among artificial ducks it looks like just chance and luck, and nothing else depends on it. It is just as easy to hold a lottery with a lottery drum and not think about unnecessary troubles. The only thing is that it is more fun and spectacular, and also amuses passers-by and spectators. But in the race of real ducks, it is the strength, genetic data and other real features of the duck that are important. Therefore, it is more realistic to predict the winner in advance, for those who understand something about this. As for my personal preferences, I would bet only once for interest on a real race, but not more than once. After all, football is more interesting to me than races with animals.

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.

Yea I have the same impression on betting on Duck races, its seems nonsensical to
be doing that Especially when there are lots of opportunities to bet on real actual sports.

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.

Could never understand the depths of human depravity to use animals as
entertainment and for betting, like dog fighting and cockfighting. I wonder if
I would put Dick racing in this bracket....ok the Ducks are not fighting but there
really is no need for this.

After learning there are people literally betting their money of marble races and also people who bet their money in pigeon races in Asia, there is little left out there when comes to betting which could actually impress me, to be honest.
Long ago I was watching a documentary film about betting and the dark site of it and I learnt there are hospital staff who are willing to bet on the remaining time patients could have left between being completely cured or dead: the so-called hospital Deadpools.
If people are willing to literally bet on the life of other human beings, this is not supposed to be outaide of the scope of greed and love for money.

Makes me wonder whether there has been some bet on me without me knowing about it.

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.

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.
