I have watched some marble races on Youtube few weeks ago, but hell, I'm not that desperate to bet on it Cheesy

. It's interesting how they determine odds, because it's completely random thing which marble will win.
Trotting - well, I had to Google to see what this term means. In simple words, it's good old horse racing. But betting on horse races always been quite a big and popular thing among gamblers. But when there is not much other sport events, people who never bet on it before started to show interest. But as I see, there is not many horse races in action now because of pandemy.

It is the first time I hear about Trotting but I am not surprised that gamblers are betting in such events now that they are all playing from home finding new ways to keep themselves busy and entertaining.If gamblers see a new gaming platform by their nature they want to try it out.

I don't care about Trotting but I did know about Marble Racing betting. There's actually a league called "Marbula One" (nice play on words, eh?) and I remember seeing (season's over) a lot of sportsbooks offering lines for the new sensation: competitive marble races.

I never think that trotting will hit today as pandemic is ongoing, marble racing on the other hand is a very good sport to bet these days coz all the host to to is a platform for the marbles to race. The Olympics is delayed due to covid19 too, so other sports that is being done outside should be cancelled too. Marble racing, who would have think that it will be a topic on sports betting huh

For those who don't know, this is what a common Morbula One race looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTVYLdKqxcI

I have watched a lot of these marble race, I find it just a fun game for kids, I didn't think it would come a long way through here.

This is the first time I see anything like trotting but it could be rewarding for some gamblers.

Down here, peeps have resorted to gambling or virtual leagues, dog race, and this color gambling.
I don't know much about them, but it seems the isolation period is bringing out the best in gamblers

Gambling addicts would try to creating or bet on anything that they could use in order to fulfill their addiction.
Due to corona virus many of sports event and other events that could be used to gamble has been cancelled so they couldn't bet on anything so they are using what they could to ease their desire to gamble.
I think there would be more if this lock down continue we could see more ways for them to gamble.

Same Here the site needs subscription before using it. but anyway i have search in YouTube and it brings me in this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5DZgsr23Vo in which i believe i have seen before,Game that a Horse is pulling a small cart with a Jockey sitting.

what i cant see is that Marbles game But this only prove that gamblers will do anything just to sustain their Lust or addiction in gambling.

The percentage of gamblers actually betting on such unknown sports are probably very low since it is still possible to continue betting on games like Table Tennis etc online right now which are far more popular games in comparison.

Due to the lockdowns around the world, it is difficult for anyone to step out for anything other than essential stuff these days(Groceries etc) which is why I am guessing that the percentage is probably low.

Could be right since this kind of sport is unfamilliar to most gamblers and I find it unique, as mentioned above it could be a local sport. Since most people don't have a choice where to bet on this could be an alternative choice. Would be fun to see a unique sport event due to the lockdown.

This is my first time heard about it, I wonder what kind of games it is. Thanks for sharing it with us. gotta search the internet to know more details about the game and how it works. I'm not familiar about this game but base on what I have read here: https://www.ft.com/content/71aa11ad-cf3e-47b3-8cfe-9233c436ea32
is a kind of racing game that looks like the horse racing but they have some sort of cart behind the horse which makes it more original. The article's story's base on Sweden. they do this alternative to the other gambling activity.

Trotting, where the jockey is pulled behind the horse in a small cart around obscure Swedish racetracks, normally attracts a distinctly niche following. But with Sweden resisting the strict lockdowns imposed in other countries, trotting races in the Scandinavian country have gone global with gamblers.

That is from the article about trotting.

And this page is from Wikipedia about harness racing, and I guess that it's related to the articles.

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

And I think this is the image for Harness racing

I think that will be the same as the horse betting or dog fights or similar betting which using the animal to bets. I cannot imagine how it will torture the horse when the horse needs to run faster. I don't know in another country, but I guess that in some country that sports will be prohibited. Probably, that sports will also be prohibited in these situations because that can attract so many people in that country to watch the game.

Anyways never heard of trotting or marble racing before, but I did a quick search and found them to be quite interesting to watch. But I obviously won't bet on it as its purely a luck-based game. I avoid pure luck-based games at all costs.

I am not familiar with trotting too and tried to look at the definition.

Quote

Harness racing is a form of horse racing in which the horses race at a specific gait (a trot or a pace). They usually pull a two-wheeled cart called a sulky, or spider, occupied by a driver. In Europe, and less frequently in Australia and New Zealand, races with jockeys riding directly on saddled trotters (trot monté in French) are also conducted.

Reference is from Wikipedia. It seems at times like this people will still be looking for something to bet on since most major sports events are cancelled.

I'm not familiar with Trotting, is it the same with Harness racing? It appears that it has been around for a very long time and it's popular among early Europeans.

Anyway, gamblers will always be gamblers. If there's a platform and there's an event to bet on, some will always try to wager be it Trotting, Marbles, and other not-so-popular games/sports.

When I first saw the headline of this article (link below) I thought it was a joke, but then it hit me that it could be real too as there’s no major tournament also going on now. It’s pertinent to note that I never knew that there was a sport game called Trotting, and what further amazes me is the amount of money that gamblers are currently wagering on it. Lastly I would like to know if you’ll have ever gambled on Trotting, and marbles if yes how was your experience gambling on it.
