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.

this is what im also thinking ,

like on other animal gambling where competitors try to experiment with their animals before the fight to make them extra ordinary because they are verry eager to win the game but if the gambling site is strict and check all the hamster if they are normal condition it wont be a problem but if we dont want to see this , there are still marble race that we can play as alternative

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 animals 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.

The video is hilarious Grin

This is a hamster-powered plinko. While it's fun to watch, I wouldn't put my money on that. The hamster is not "provably-fair" Cheesy

And if this becomes viral, the author or organizer could get into trouble for "exploiting" animals.

I have watched the video. Well, it is cute. It is fun as well. But if I were to think of it as a gambling platform where people would risk their real money, I don't think it is safe. Or perhaps I have yet to be thoroughly briefed on the nitty gritty parts of it.

In the first place, how could we determine fairness of this game? No problem with the hamster. It is not biased for sure. But are the marbles exactly of the same weight, texture, and so on? Is the board plain enough that the arrangement of the marbles before they start rolling wouldn't have any effect? These are just some of my questions in mind pertaining to fairness.

I heard about this one from a guy who actually wanted to see how his idea will work and posted here , I literally never knew it would become big. The hamster is happy and I do think this would not only make her more engaged with her owners but people from all over the world can count on her. The only thing I am sad about is that they are using ETH and not BTC but then again it's easier with the transfer fee and such.

Plus the hamster has been taken care of and I did looked though their site , it's not like mia is running on the wheel for a long long time. She does get rest ! Apparently the next bet is like 11hr away so it's a good thing that they are giving her a considerable amount of rest and taking care of her health.

Now see this is way better than gambling of cock fighting , on horse races ! This is indeed not harming anyone.

AFAIK about hamsters, they do not get tired in hamster balls, they actually love the fact that they can move around. PETA might be on the ass of this one person though, you know how PETA does not like animals to be 'exploited' by humans when they are doing euthanasia on sheltered animals. Cockfighting is a famous game in my country, there are dedicated stadiums just for that and local officials even bet. Does anyone have the OP(Original Post)? I have seen the idea but in these forum it did not get that much traction.

Yea I saw the same post a few months back, and it honestly seemed interesting. I've seen marbles in twitch, marble races in youtube, but I sure as hell have not seen Marbles and Hamsters together. It's a pretty interesting idea considering that the Hamster is literally the one that decides the traps difficulty, unlike normal marble races which have static obstacles or constant ones that don't really change throughout the race. Glad that it looks good right now, innovation like this is honestly quite good considering how the type of games that gambling has stagnated imo.

I watched that video before on a thread, but I have mistaken the title. I don't engage in that bet yet, but that game was interesting because I think it's a new idea implemented in gambling games. The hamster can integrate with the ethereum blockchain, and that make curiosity to the gambler because it will not be easy to win. After all, the game was based purely on luck. You can watch the video on the site to know how to place your bet. It is hard to predict the hamster run, so you need to be careful. But I guess the game needs to spread on many websites to attract more people to play.

I think I've seen some users already posted this game here before I'm not quite sure if this would be popular but I've visited this website multiple times but it says that the hamster is sleeping does it mean that the race will vary depends on the hamster's mood?

I first saw the teaser video and was immediately curious to try this gambling game. Because I'm a fan of Hamster too, I noticed that the type of
hamster used for the game is the Campbell type. Very cute hamster, I hope the Hamster won't get tired if there are many enthusiasts with this
gambling game. Anyway thank you for opening post sharing this information, After making this post I will immediately check the website.

I have read this a couple of months back, and it's interesting. The first time I saw marbles racing is in an outside place where soil and mud were formed into racetracks. The commentary is hilarious, but it's quite entertaining, to be honest. If I have some spare money that I could lose, I would probably try betting one or two times to see how fun it would be while watching it. It's a different kind of game that could make you cheer for marbles. Lol.

Never heard of this one in particular, the same race that I know of is marble races which are streamed by some Twitch streamers. This one looks fun I have to agree and I think that it will be a fair race because I do not see any hamster trained or bred to be a racing champion which means that a house pet hamster could be a champion. You also have to consider the hamster ball.

Few months before I saw a post here when a guy apparently have his idea about using his hamster for marble races for gambling and guess what ??

https://cointelegraph.com/news/the-future-of-gambling-hamster-powered-marble-races-come-to-ethereum/amp

Apparently the article has been published and it's all going forth.

The races are called *Mia and the Marbles*

I also found their youtube video and it's indeed very funny 🤣https://youtu.be/ZH4jqS53TXE

Well honestly for me the probability of one marble winning is low so I won't really bet on it but I think we can just do it for fun though.

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

It's not only funny but I won't mind loosing for the hamster lol whosoever's idea it was congratulations!!!
