I think that is quite nice and cute indeed,. . .

Not only that they have branded marble racing literally. When someone would try and think of it, it would be their site they would go to , they did include ETH in there too which made it all better since the sending and receiving charges are far less thus it's more convenient for everyone. But the only thing is the wager is predetermined. In the future I do believe we will have many more ideas like this but this is again way better than other sports like bull fighting, cock fighting etc.

Totally agree! this is way better than having an animal get hurt for the entertainment purpose, And I think that this kind of idea is great and can be applied in different ways for online entertainment as well, and I also like how we can play using ETH for faster transaction now that Bitcoin is way way up and unpredictable at the moment. I will try it when the live stream start but the difference in our timezone is a little predicament at the moment, but will try and stay up all night for me to play.

I think people should also be concerned about people who bet on such games. It has to be safe for them too and should unlikely get them addicted, they should bet responsibly and should avoid betting with what they can't afford to lose.
I believe the human should benefit more and be more protected in this.

Haha the idea of using a hamster wheel to move obstacles on the field is very interesting and really fun. Do I understand correctly that the hash of the last etherium block affects the location of the raised pins on the playing field? If that's true, it's really a very cool idea.

Somehow, I feel pity for that hamster that was being used for playing gambling. I do not know if that is right or not, but that hamster trying to give us another satisfaction in the new game. But if you want to play that game, I can only suggest you to be careful because this game is based on luck, so you will not have a big chance to win if you do not have luck. I do not try to play that game, but maybe later I will try it for one round.

Hmm, see the stream already? There's no such thing as the hamster is getting bad treatment here.

The hamster is just doing its routine operation, playing with the wheels. Mia even has one of the awesome cages around.

As per FAQ:

A new race starts whenever Mia ran 2km in her wheel.
It’s up to Mia to decide, when and how far she runs.
Once the accumulated distance equals 2km a new race will start automatically.

Yes, I know that. But I still feel not right to see Mia ran without knowing how long Mia will do that. Although Mia can stop anytime, Mia wants. But if you think that betting on that game is interesting, you can place your bet, and I hope you can win. I just do not feel right to see the animal has been used for playing gambling. I do not know with the other.

I think that is quite nice and cute indeed, anything can be done when you want to produce your own gambling platform, And this is powered by a cute hamster, and in our country, we had the popular cockfighting that now has online bets because of the pandemic, and recently I have seen a type of gambling where they are betting on spiders, ants, beetle, any sort of things that your mind can think of but the remarkable thing with mia and the marble there is a contraption that would let you bet on the marbles that are powered by a hamster is indeed much OK than betting on cockfights that on cock would definitely die in the end.

I would try that in my free time because of curiosity.

I guess it's one of those articles about betting with animals that makes you wonder if it's going to be abused or not. If such thing attracts people who are willing to abuse animals and take big risk for selfish reasons then I don't think it is an idea worth encouraging. I believe good betting space should be both useful and safe for everyone.
Hopefully it's not even real animal

For fun its OK but if the animals abuse its different story there are already laws thatw protect animals even how small they are .thats why I think it will not going to be abuse base on the article .the only problem is that if many people may imitate it and not be able to control themselves when they are the one who do it and at those times there may be animal can be abuse.

I think the game or whatever it's should benefit the animals, instead of just the players. The animals should not be maltreated or be forced to do things against what is good and safe for them.
I think the company/business should make it clear to users or customers that the animals are not badly treated/handled in any way. By the way, the word "gambling" create an impression that this will somehow be abused.

And as far as animal rights goes, is this ethical?

I guess it depends if the hamster is just doing it’s normal routine or if they’re somehow forcing him or her to perform. From the looks of it, the hamster probably doesn’t even know what’s going on and is just enjoying normal spinning on it’s wheel. As far as including animals in betting, this seems one of the more humane approaches, plus it just sounds like a lot of fun.

The matches are streamed live and it's as I can attest, provably fair since it's the hamster controlling the odds anyway. What I'm hwavily converned about is the fact that the games might malfunction due to mouse error, there will be days where the mouse will not cooperate and people have already placed their bets, so how will the owners work around this? And as far as animal rights goes, is this ethical?

Not engaging yet in this type of gambling because it has no difference from other luck-based games.

But for fun and if the odds are attracting, why not? Might want to test my luck. Maybe there is a list of past results so that will be my only basis.

And one thing, the bet should come from a reputable website, and matches will be live stream.

There are 7 colors for you to choose from which means that each marble will be having a chance to win in 14.2%.I dont know yet on what would be the odds or multiplier if you do able to get some hit.

For sure there are people will be criticizing this on using an animal for the benefit of its owner to make money without even realizing that hamsters does have natural behavior on running on that wheel.
It should really be a live stream one to ensure fairness of the games, i dont know on whats the the purpose of those circuits beyond on that hamsters cage.

Did someone here engage in such races ?
How was it ?
Did you win / loose?

Yeah, i remember this one and i do find it unique and i do even saw those gambling type about rat races in the past but it did eventually failed and stopped.
I wont be surprised if this will still end up the same because not all would really be that interested into these type of games.Yes, hamsters were cute but
it will not be an indication that lots of people will really be fan on playing on this one. Also, if you do try to check out the course it is just too short,
excitement isnt something in full blast plus they would be needing more some polishing specially on the course. Everything looks brown. lol

Actually this hamster powered races game relies on luck to win, so for me it is the same as slot games. But what makes it interesting is because it
involves a very cute hamster, we can see on the video promotion how cute the hamster is. This may be what attracts some people to try this game,
to provide entertainment and a new atmosphere we can indeed try.

Indeed! This is a refreshing game and a good diversion from the classic casino games. And this one, you just hope that the hamster you are rooting for will give you the luck. Grin

Since it is eth-based game, maybe the reason why the owners can't actively promote in the main gambling board. Maybe, if they will add bitcoin, they can surely make their thread in the main board.

If you want to check the past races, you can easily see that in their website - https://mia.bet/past-races
Seems that they are already attracting players as the total payout in eth is already quite big for a starter. Maybe, if they are accepting other currencies like btc or doge, this one will attract more players from this forum.

Thanks, and there's a video link too on the past result.

And checking the results, predicting what color always win is really difficult. Should really be treated as for fun only.

About the supported currencies, the betting system is running in the ETH network so I think accepting BTC or any other crypto is not possible even demanded heavily by the community.

This reminds me the guys who had a site of gambling in mice race. It was pretty straight forward like horse racing. They had 4/5 mice at one end and in the other end those mice had to run and whichever would reach there first was the winner. I watched their live feed and it was interesting.

Unfortunately they could not run the business and it seems the project is down too.

There are many gambling or racing/fighting game that involves animal. Hopefully this act will end since they sometimes tortured or force to do things out of fear or not being able to eat if they will not do it like those animal in carnivals. Now that we are in era of technology it is really better to engaged it thru computer and not anymore in real animals. Like games that will require some skills or adding items to boost their ability.

When most of the gamblers says "Gambling is for entertainment only", this is the real definition of that.

I think a similar post was already discussed here in this section, but still here's my opinion about animal races. We're all aware that animal races somehow abuses the animals forcing them to races even they don't want to, for example is horse race and dog race, on which I think seems unfair to the side of the animals. In this race, which is a hamster race, I don't see any kind of issue since hamsters are known to be a volty and mischievous animald that likes to run and play.

I just hope hamster racing wouldn't go overboard like they are forcing them to eat or drink supplements that'll make them more fast or whatsoever, being a natural one is enough already.

yes, it is.

this is the older discussion thread - I want to know about this game.

and this is the service announcement from the MiaAndTheMarbles - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/miabet-bet-on-marble-races-now-with-sponsored-tx-fees-5206396

the funny thing here is - their service ann is not gaining attention but thread like this is gaining attention from the users here. Grin

i sent them msg in their telegram channel about the old thread before

the probable reason is that the ANN thread posted in service announcement(altcoin). the thread is most likely buried from the amount of post being generated on that board also, there are not many gamblers discussing gambling on service announcement(altcoin). I think the ANN thread would have generated attention if it was posted on gambling board and the website is accepting bitcoin and altcoin(maybe several altcoins)

I have watched the whole video and I have seen videos similar to this on social media before. It was fun and interesting and it even makes my heart melt seeing those little creatures. Well, its uniqueness will surely catch the attention of most players and as long as the little animals are safe, there's nothing wrong with it. It will surely become more popular in the coming days.
