That's... new. I reckon the only similar thing I've heard of about is cockfighting which is notoriously famous in Asian countries lol. Granted this seems a lot safer since they're just racing compared to fighting. Still seems like an odd thing to bet on though.

For fairness, doesn't it all depend on the knowledge of the bettor themselves? Similar to horse racing, if you just randomly bet on some horse then you'd definitely not see any fairness if you lost. However if someone who knows who the best horse is and bet on them, then they'd definitely find it fair, even if they lost.

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:

I know people who don't like any kind of sport involving real animals, because they believe that they are mistreated or exposed to situations that go beyond their physical capacity and that shorten their life expectancy.
However, in my opinion, I believe that these animals are better treated than many domestic animals, because they have a very balanced and healthy diet so that they are always in good spirits, they are well cared for so that they don't have "emotional problems" and decide that "they won't race today", and certainly when they reach a certain age where they can no longer compete, they enjoy a nice "retirement" without the demands of sports.

I confess that I have never seen this real duck race, but just like horse or dog races, I believe it must be quite interesting, and it is also funny to hear a "quack" during the competition.

If you have any videos to share, please do it.

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.

It's fun but you'd see the animal welfare organizations will be dismayed by such races being organized.

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.
