Topic: Duck racing.. a new variety? - page 4. (Read 688 times)
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.
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. 
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!

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.Quote

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.Quote
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.

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.

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,
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.
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.
I have seen quite some odd ones as well. I have seen not animals but husbands carrying their wives race to the finish line.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.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. 
This is such an interesting topic! I've heard of quirky competitions like pig races, but actual duck racing with live ducks is new to me. I think it's fascinating how these kinds of events bring communities together, whether it's for tradition or just pure fun. As long as the animals are well taken care of and there's a vet present, I don’t see the harm. If it’s part of a longstanding tradition, it must have evolved to balance the enjoyment of the crowd with the well-being of the animals. I'd check one out if I had the chance!
It's the first time i read about this kind of event with duck, is have seen horse racing in the past but never with ducks. I'm not sure how fair this is, i mean there should be some favorite ducks, the ones who win most of the time. But looks like a cool event.
I have never seen this portion in the casinos but maybe it become more popular in the future, and for sure is a fun way to bet. If someone sees the option to bet on ducks at any casino please let me know, that would be something interesting to analyze.

This is my first time hearing of Duck racing and I have seen more of animal sports so I won't be surprised about duck racing too. In my country, you see this kind of sports, especially sports for animals in general. If there were a field where I could have the experience of watching ducks race then I would take the chance. But I can't travel to other countries just because of the game* Do you think it's a fair game for the gamblers and the organizers as well? More illustrations on the picture below:
I belive its fair enough. Having done my research on the game. The rules set and how they intend for players to abide by it is good enough for any gambler to choose if they want to bet on the game or not. Just like any other game, it is a personal choice. If it becomes a game that favors us in gambling then who am i to say no i won't bet on it. 
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!

Wow, that sounds really fascinating to know about this exists too. The Duck competitions can be quite a sight to view with all those ducks competing a game.. While I haven’t personally known or seen to any such competitions, I’ve read that many people find it entertaining to watch these ducks interact, especially during the races or the competitions. The way they waddle and quack can be surprisingly engaging. Don't you think so ?
If you've been reading about it, I’m curious to know what kind of competition did you come across? And did you have any particular betting experiences ? Also i never came across any betting site that represents such bets, maybe this only happens in certain places of the world and not popular at all.

This is quacktastic lmfao wow this takes the cake for all the posts on here today 😂. Where can I sign up and make my first duck race bet? This would be so funny to watch I’m sure I am truly laughing hysterically right now lol.
It's fun but you'd see the animal welfare organizations will be dismayed by such races being organized.
There is no harm to the animals, they just make one quick turn and that's it, the fair has been going for 150 years, and it's just a kid show, beside they have a vet in place, it's mandatory by law on any farm fair or expo. Because most of these advocates will reason that animals like the ducks shouldn't be used for betting or any kind of these activities.
And if it's for the kid's show and for sure that these ducks are also having fun and they're being taken care of very well.
I have known only cockfighting in my place but never have seen real ducks going in race. But as we all know, everything that could entertain the people and create some thrill is not new anymore that it may become a good source of betting. If I were to witness this one, I would probably put a bet. This is a like a friendly game with money on it, compared to cockfighting which is quite a bloody fight.
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.

Well races like this are quite rare in the place I stay
Even the popular horse racing is hard to come by.
Well people would bet on anything as long as there are odds of a win or loss.
