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.
https://www.facebook.com/reel/497525892869004

If you say it's for charity and it's even a children's activity and that no harm is brought to the animals and the vets and the animal regulatory bodies are all around in case an animal gets hurt, then I guess it's one event I'd consider attending to see how it works. But, I'm a bit curious to see the ducks run or walk because they walk slowly and in a funny manner. I'm not familiar with such racing.

I left a link there on what those races are, the video is actually from where the screenshot was taken.
Here is another one:
https://www.tiktok.com/@vincent_zs/video/7283072654435765506

The UK is full of those events, it's just a small gated track probably less than 50 meters with or without small obstacles and the ducks are let loose from their cages with somebody walking behind them to encourage them to go on, there are no whips or other things, it's farms animals and they are used to being guided by humans to either food or their shelter so they just go and follow the track.
There are plenty of other activities at those rural fairs, I'm quite amazed by people being amazed at their existence, they've been around for ages, one of the funniest but also boring happening around her is the carrot finding competition where some rabbits are released in a pen and the first one getting to a hidden carrot is the winner.

Although, I'm still curious as to why it's an animal for charity, couldn't it have been something else?

It doesn't always have to be for a charity but most are, the way it works is that everyone gets a ticket for $x and the "winner" gets a toy or plushie, I don't recall a single event like this nor in my town or somewhere else when it was real betting with odds and stuff like this, first you would need a gambling license for it and nobody would go through all that trouble.

Everyone who organizes any kind of race has a big imagination. We have seen many races; it is quite exciting, as long as it does not violate someone's rights and freedom. In order not to create a separate topic on the diversity of races, I will also add a race that has become very popular in the world recently. It is called the "crawling baby race."
A really cute spectacle, but I would like these entertainments not to turn into some kind of business for making money.

I remember watching a pig race and other animal race but never watch a duck race. I remember also that there’s a start up project before that involves rat race that let you bet live on rat that enter through the tunnel and meet the finish line with the food. The project didn’t last long but the concept is odd same as this kind of race.

Regardless, human is always gullible when it comes to animal racing but so far horse racing is always the best to watch live.

Hilarious to see how much humans are willing to do just to get an excuse to place a bet and watch the game unfold.

I have seen monkey fights and cock fights, horse racing and human (duh) racing. Grin

Locate any chance based event and it can be the new place to bet on, like how many building are going to get broken in a hurricane and so on. All these exemplify the need for the human mind for the dopamine rush from gambling.

When reading this thread it really made me curious to know more about the details since its really hilarious to know that there's something betting option like this exist.

I don't see this happening in my country and here are some gamblers think about new way to spend their money with. Those things you mentioned is pretty common but Duck racing its really rare. Imagine who the hell would ever think that its really possible to bet on duck race.

Maybe the coordinator of that game if they call it like that got inspired on horse racing and they think about other think just to make it unique and new to their eyes.

This is good news for ducks—the luckiest ones won’t be eaten anymore Grin

. Well, personally I’ve never seen this before, but when it comes to the gambling industry, I suppose anything is possible. Ducks, chickens, anything that moves. I guess speed isn’t as important as the entertainment it provides to gamblers...Just seeing a duck walking makes me laugh, so imagine we bet on them.. what a funny idea Cheesy

The betting and prediction market has been growing so fast recently that I'm not at all surprised that someone is having a duck race. I recently looked at what bets can be placed on Polymarket and was very surprised at the wide variety of bets. So don't be too surprised if you see an offer to bet on a tiger, bear or kangaroo race next year. I am sure that if someone launches such races, there will be interested bettors.

Hm, ducks, and what about cockroach racing which is very popular in Australia and involves a bunch of local bets on its outcomes. Different nations invented a variety of betting events like those hoarse/duck/cockroach/you-name-it racing to make either money or fun (^{or both)} because ^{(as I suspect)} there is some kind of gene in human genome which makes the betting to be a part of people existence.

That makes them gambling using animal in a secret place without any interfere from people who don't like gambling using animal. Well, animal competition does exist but that depends on what people reaction to that.

I like gambling, but to be honest I don't want to bet on anything involving animals. I prefer various sports in which athletes compete even without my bet to check who is stronger, faster or has better technique and experience than the opponent. In animal races or fights, of course, there is a factor of unpredictability, but for me it looks primitive. However, I know that for some people, for example, cockfights were part of the culture, their entertainment after hard and exhausting days of work in the fields, when they wanted to experience a little fun and excitement. But this was earlier, now bookmakers offer a huge number of sports and events for betting.

Isnt duck racing a light version of a real competition. Compared to dog fights, you dont need to specially train your duck to make it angry; you need to keep it hungry so it would see opponent as food. Anger and hunger wont help in running. You need to beat your duck to make it run faster. Doubt that ducks can be even trained (like animals are beaten in circus to train tricks) to do something special. One thing a person can do is to run behind ducks, as if he is trying to catch them. That might stimulate them to run faster. Can this be considered as frightening them on purpose and it causes them stress and health problems?

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.

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, they have a vet in place, it's mandatory by law on any farm fair or expo.

If you say it's for charity and it's even a children's activity and that no harm is brought to the animals and the vets and the animal regulatory bodies are all around in case an animal gets hurt, then I guess it's one event I'd consider attending to see how it works. But, I'm a bit curious to see the ducks run or walk because they walk slowly and in a funny manner. I'm not familiar with such racing.

If these animals are not being restricted from going to their natural habitat or treated poorly, then having such charity organizations once in a while for whatever reason, the organization may not be so bad. As long as the animals are being treated properly. Although, I'm still curious as to why it's an animal for charity, couldn't it have been something else? All the same, thanks for enlightening us about the race and how animals are being taken care of.

Whether it is fair or not for gamblers and organizers is not the main thing in my opinion because if the aim is purely for gambling they will make other bets, for example cockfighting, horse racing, and the betting system is made by The organizer is known to the bettors so this should be fair.

For me this also looks like a fun activity only. Duck racing has only entertaining purpose. I feel like they are organized on a fairies, or traveling circus or amusement park have them. This isnt gambling. Same as throwing darts into balloons in amusement park would be called gambling, because there are elements of lack, random and money are involved during getting the prize. But the thing I like that duck racing - I believe duck get no harm during race, or training or preparation for the race. It is not the same as cock or dog fighting.

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

This is the first time I've heard of such an activity. I find this type of gambling funny. I usually don't like the exploitation of animals, especially such cruel ones where they use fighting cocks.
They suffer for the sake of human vices, and this is unacceptable. But these goose races are funny and fun, because these animals do not suffer in this case. I would love to attend such an event, because it seems to me that if you drink beer and watch it with friends, you can have fun

Yeah it seems like a fair game for gamblers because it will depend on luck, we don't know which duck is the fastest, maybe for me this is fair.

This type of racing was common in the village side is my opinion and he way of looking forward of winning using this game was unique one.Most of the people will just watch this type gambling and enjoy by watching.But the gamblers who use their money in any form of gambling will have the real fun compared to the other people.If you watch you just predict and just have fun.But if you predict after the money you earned and used for the betting,the real fun you will enjoy because of the money earning by the prediction in the game.

This isn't surprising considering we have seen or heard about a sport where people have sex and others make bets on which team will win, lol. The world is going crazy these days, you will be surprised by the kind of sports and games they are coming up with. I have seen slap competitions being held on international levels, I mean, are we running out of proper sports and games which is why we are relying on such things?

I wonder if people make bets on such games and sports only to waste their money. Some might do it only for fun but for gains, I don't think so. There are so many legit and good sports out there, sports where you can do analysis and make your bets on logics instead of going with your gut feelings and because you find a participant cute.

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.

Duck racing, eh? I assume if I searched on Youtube I'd find an example of this stuff in action, but for the life of me I can't wrap my head around it. It seems to me like it'd be trying to get cats to race--you just can't train certain animals to do certain things, like run around a track in competition with each other.

Aside from that, having a winged creature engage in a foot race....yeah, there's a big part of me that doesn't think that's cool. Not like I'm a PETA member, but I'm not a fan of using animals for entertainment or gambling purposes in a way that's unnatural to them or harms them. That said, I haven't read this whole thread nor looked into the ethical concerns surrounding duck races. If those thoughts weren't whizzing around in my head, I'd join tread93 in laughing 'til my face turned blue.

This is more of entertainment than gambling. I have seen a couple of those funny events and what I like most is the fun the people derived from those events. I have even see one involving babies crawling, where the winning is usually the first to move from one end to the other. It is usually more of fun than the gambling, maybe this is where gambling for fun really come in. Animals can actually be trained to be competitive so predicting the outcome of their even could be easy judging from their past records.

Well you've seen people betting on who's the next president, who's going to win the miss universe, and the like, why not watch ducks racing each other? Grin

. Animals being competitive isn't anything new, just that there are a lot of trainers for the most common animals like dogs and horses. And yeah, there's probably a lot less variance in them competing compared to human sports.

We can not compare human sport with animal although it can be fun seeing docks racing and how intelligent they could be to make sure that they come the first position individually. Animal sports is all fun and we should endeavor to watch them race because their are lots of things we can learn about them. Animals are wonderful creatures and seeing their agility and focus in competitions can be really impressive and I urge everyone to give it a try at least watch their sports if we don't have access to it on TV, we can check on YouTube or other sport websites.

*When it comes to fairness then as long those animals are on the same condition or state when it comes to health and other factors which to be the same

Well this is my first time to hear about this. Certainly this type of sports is not popular in my country. I doubt if anyone has ever thought if anything as this exists. I just watched this on YouTube and it was just hilarious. Well, I am thinking that in the context of gambling, the youngest duck would have a much higher odds than an older duck.

This duck racing is somehow a rare idea that has come to sports betting, because commonly I saw only for Chicken like for a cockfighting. The difference on this racing was similar to horse racing, predicting who's ducklings will be catching the winning moment but it's really hard to point out which of those will hit the finish line since it's not that fast to walk or run like a horse or a dog race.
However, I don't think that much that this type of gambling sports will sustain same with other existing one that continuously gaining a lot of patronizers.

We share same thoughts on this subject of duck racing, because for me, i have seen dog racing, rabbit vs tortoise racing, horse racing, camel racing, and more than 101 other kinda animal racing as well as animal fighting that involves spectators placing a bet on a particular choice from the animal in competition.

I doubt duck racing would be anything new and apart or different from any kinda gambling game that has been existing. So if you have an interest and happen to have a place around where one can go watch these animal stunts and racing, do so for the fun of it and bet no more than you need to.

This game is relatively new to me, but I am not surprised that there is something like this because it can be done just like how you do it with chickens if you are doing cock fighting. Maybe any animal that would be competitive with each other.

I’m quite pessimistic about this type of game because it can be rigged to inject something into the duck.

Duck racing, I think it's completely gambling because we don't know which one is fast, which one is smart and which one is the loser. The odds should be @5.00 for all the ducks lol.

If money is at stake then it's pure gambling... All equal with odds of 5.00 maybe if I bet I will have a random and the most adorable duck. Hahaha

I have seen quite some odd ones as well. I have seen not animals but husbands carrying their wives race to the finish line.

Snail racing, just like what you illustrated with the picture is even more creepy and boring ASF! How do I just sit back and watch snail crawling in a row? How's that even entertaining?

That being said, husbands carrying their wives on their back could happen most frequently as novelty games, marriage tours etc..

If there is such an activity, maybe I will be curious and interested to see it because it could be entertainment for me even if only for a moment.
However, if it is about this kind of gambling, I think it sounds very funny and interesting because in it there will be many bets, either in the form of money bets or just appreciation for the duck that will win.
And in my opinion, duck racing like this is still rarely held if in my country the most popular is cockfighting using real chicken media and gamblers can win when the chicken they bring can beat the chicken of other gamblers until the end of the match.

Not really animal centric but go sub to redbulls YT. They do crazy (and weird) sports out there and I wouldn't doubt it if Red bull all of a sudden decided to start some sort of competition with those types of activities. It's just weird... and entertaining at the same time lol.

This is more of entertainment than gambling. I have seen a couple of those funny events and what I like most is the fun the people derived from those events. I have even see one involving babies crawling, where the winning is usually the first to move from one end to the other. It is usually more of fun than the gambling, maybe this is where gambling for fun really come in. Animals can actually be trained to be competitive so predicting the outcome of their even could be easy judging from their past records.

Well you've seen people betting on who's the next president, who's going to win the miss universe, and the like, why not watch ducks racing each other? Grin

. Animals being competitive isn't anything new, just that there are a lot of trainers for the most common animals like dogs and horses. And yeah, there's probably a lot less variance in them competing compared to human sports.

Quite curious how it would be seeing flying birds race.

There is actually pigeon racing and that's also a common thing ever since.

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

If that's illegal in an area, the police will have no choice but to arrest the organizers and everyone that are involved in it.

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.

I guess everyone has that childhood with the pigeon racing but it's still as big as it is right now.

Duck racing is fun and you'd hear the quacks while they run for a one field goal.

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.

https://petpedia.co/dog-fighting-statistics/#illegal%20in%20all%2050%20American%20states

Such gambling activitie doesn't happen in my country and I believe we have less of gamblers compared to some other countries that will gamble on what ever activity, even if it's life threatening or even if the activity is banned there, you will see some persons doing it secretly and putting their self at risk.

The picture you shared is too blurred, and I can't really see any illustrations there, aside people just sitting around and maybe three or four ducks supposedly walking around.
But all the same, it's amazing to see or think that a live duck race is possible, this is the very first time I am coming across such.

All my life, I've known about horse and dog racing, never heard of duck racing, and right now, I am really wondering how organizers manage to get the duck to race against each other, are they possibly given some kind of training or what please?

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.

Haha, this is the first time seeing that there's also this one. That's why we often see odd races that are being done from other parts of the world. This is slower than the rabbit and turtle race story.

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.

Yes, I've only seen that on youtube and it seems enjoying to have but I haven't seen some bookies done that so probably just some local and p2p betting for those involved in the race.

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.

In fairness with this one shared by OP, stompix has explained that it's legal and no ducks have been harmed.

As for the fairness of the game, it was at some point a really fair one as these animals were given the freedom to participate equally and they were also trained before the contest, given them equal competitive conditions.

I see your point and it's true just a matter of artistry on how gambling facilatators will manage to attract interest from those gamblers around , just like with your example, those are options that gamblers can use to pick their bets, so no wonder something like this will be offer and there are people who might find interest placing their bets.

Not going to be surprising as there's always people who will go and take the risk as long as there's possible profits if luck permits them to win.

During my gambling adventures, I have encountered such as: flying birds, horse racing, dogs, buffalo and so on, I have not found the duck game in my area, even though it looks unique, it seems to be fun and looks fair in the game.

Maybe you are interested in enjoying this bet, to be honest, I don't have any experience in that matter, but if you look at duck racing, it is not much different from betting on dog racing and so on, where the one who runs fast will win the bet.

We understand that recently many new types of gambling have emerged, as long as the animal can be competed and making money is not an obstacle for traditional gambling lovers, this is an interesting adventure and needs to be competed.

Why not?) A rather cute type of competition for mine took it.

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)

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.

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.

* 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.

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 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.

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? 😃

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

There is actually pigeon racing and that's also a common thing ever since.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Wow, thanks that's good to know.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
