I just saw a race of ducks; all I know is the race of dogs, horses, turtles, and rabbits, but that's not it. Maybe that's okay as long as it doesn't violate the rule that there is only one country or place where events like that take place.
You know nowadays we have social media platforms, but in fairness, it's actually entertaining to watch. because the ducks walk is sexy, hehehe, or like the walk of a beauty queen😁

haven't personally seen a duck race but I have seen Carabao(water buffalo) racing before during a festival but it was a long time ago. compared to this duck racing, Carabao racing is far more extreme, it is basically like horse racing but with Carabao dragging a carriage carrying the human that controls the Carabao, and yes, there were people betting on it too.

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 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. Check out what Americans bet on for the Superbowl. Some of the prop bets are silly like the color the Gatorade will be or the coin flip to decide who gets the ball 1st.
* Do you think it's a fair game for the gamblers and the organizers as well?
It's a festival charity event, that has been held for a decade already, and they don't have just ducks they have piglet racing too, it's a kid show, and obviously no gambling on it.
There are plenty of other, Dock Dogs, and rabbit shows.
As I said, nothing special for the US and parts of England/Ireland , the fair from which the video was taken is in Door county, over 100 years old festival with nearly the same stuff, just a little altered.

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.
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.
Yeahhh... But this wasn't about rubber ducks to be more precise.. I seen hundreds of competitions with rubber ducks and I don't even enjoy the scene everytime it pops up. I was surprised to realize that people really had to organize some inbreed ducks, for the sole purpose of competitions.It was organized and very fascinating; I wished I had a place around my locality where it's done, I'd be spending my free period over there... Damn!

I dunno why people should be bothered with the welfare of these ducks/ piglets... They're obviously enjoying themselves and what's wrong with that? 
Lolz. It's quite hilarious to note the extent people would go in their betting expedition. I dunno if I'm the only one who hasn't seen a duck walk very fast so I'm curious how the game is hoping to pan out; do they declare the winner if the duck decides to fly or which bird runs faster?
Personally, I feel it's too extreme and should be discouraged but there'd be those who would want to bet on it.

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!

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.

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

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.
