The only "food betting" I'd bet on is speed eating competitions, Those competitions are far more entertaining and the participants are actually competitive, unlike the people on the video you shared.

Can we classify this betting on food eaters on who eats more or less within a time frame, as a sport?

I'm not really sure but Personally, I don't consider it as a sport, but doing a quick search on Google it seems like there are people who consider it as a "sport"

I don't like the idea of messing with food. And to make it a sport and gamble on it? Hell nah man. I have faced some dark situations where I starved for 2-3 days without food. So people eating or wasting food for fun is a really bad thing to me. Try to respect food.

Have you ever thought about people who are unable to eat for several days and searching for food just to eat one time a day, even if it does to fill their belly? People are dying because they can't eat. They starve to death. So my suggestion is, to drop this stupid idea and if you are into gambling, then gamble on other sports that are widely available. And if you could, feed some poor who are in need of food with your gambling profits.

I hate the idea so much that I don't want to talk about it. But just to give you some advice, I am writing here.

This is possible as long as it would get enough popularity and community to sustain its existence in this industry. Keep in mind that anything could be gambled of; presidency or election, gender of a baby (?), or even dates of significant events. As long as there's a contrast with perspectives and as long as both sides are open for reward and consequences. So I guess this foodbetting type of gambling could possibly be offered in the future; especially if there would be a tournament to the 'players' who would participate with this game. Just afraid that results could be easily manipulated 'coz this would depend on individual's capacity of food intake whoch I think is something that should be cleared first to audiences if there will be serious individuals who would want to put this in reality.

I use to get somewhat interested in the Coney Island hot dog eating contest that is held each year. You had at first Takeru Kobayashi who had perfected the way to competitively eat hot dogs (dipping the buns in water was his secret at first), and now the worlds best competitive eater Joey Chesnut has been quite entertaining these past few years.

I'm not sure I would ever bet on this though as I feel like cheating could be a big part of it.

If it's just a contest about food eating that would be fine but if it will be involve that anyone can bet on it I guess that will be easily manipulated. There will be just a random occasions that it's more real and good to bet on but if it's an organized one that includes betting, I'll doubt that to be honest.

Manipulations are everywhere but there are measures to prevent them, so don't worry. There were many contest about food already and then Mukbang is also popular on many social media sites but I never heard that you can place a bet on them. Maybe there are also people who wish they can bet on it? So, what the OP have shared is a dream come true to them.

I check the link and unfortunately the site involved is a shady one. It is 1xbet. Damn, I really thought it was a dream come true to them, but if there are gambling sites who are watching this thread, maybe they can consider the same thing? and for sure they can gather some audience for this type of betting as long as they know that they are trusted enough.

Interesting and funny at the same time, I love bets like this one but I don't see many people doing this maybe because it's not popular yet or people don't just like it, there is a hilarious game going on online too, I watched the videos at time where you have to make the other person laugh by either cracking a joke or just saying something, imagine if we can place bets on such shows? It will be very fun than casino gambling.

I am not a fan yet but I will easily become a fan of such bets because apart from using money to place bet you will enjoy the show too.

Betting on foodie is not that popular because of lack of interest, and I think it's a dangerous one too because one can easily chock on food.

Better not to bring food into the game it doesn't seem like a source of gambling as we eat for a living much less of an incentive to gamble. Although many places bet on food it usually depends on their casino sites betting for money is more popular but betting only for food is never a good thing. You are taking huge risks and one bad one can destroy your bankroll instead, bettors should be disciplined and limit their plays to their most confident games of the day. This can be good for businessmen as they will get money by selling enough food during casino games. But I think if gamblers win by gambling with money they can fulfill all their needs with money.

I can recall betting challenge to approach a lady and ask her out and this kind of bet is usually found among peers.

Nahh... I don't think I'll wanna do that, moreover am not a foodie so the idea doesn't impress me to put a cent on it.

Though not new to be as I had witness a food contest back in primary school end of year party, mehn one of the contestants got choked in the process and I couldn't stop laughing. I know some dudes who will want to jump on the idea but to me it's a waste of time and resources as it won't be continuously interesting to people as time goes on people might get bored with it.

It's nothing close to a sports game and I can't picture any precinct in sport it can fit in. You can call it a game of fun but not sports.

As most users stated it is not fair to use food as a source for gambling. Big number of people were living without proper food to eat, in such situation using food to gamble shouldn't be encouraged. This kind of gambling could be funny, and can be enjoyed.

From business perspective this seems to be good, because as an attraction one can promote their signature food menu with such competition. Here, person who fail need to pay. If a person wins, he should be paid with the prize money.

Isn't there any other bet so that you have to use food as a bet? I don't think it's worth investing the time and resources but maybe someone will.

I don't think it's a sport but maybe it has something to do with ethics. Maybe for other people, this is an interesting bet, especially since many people like it. But I think this is not a show for children because they can make bets like this with their friends.

I would cite at least two very reasonable reasons not to bet on this:

1. Food waste... and even though food is not necessarily wasted, there are so many people going hungry in the world that using it in gambling is at least very disrespectful.

2. Health issue.... there are several foods that are included in these games, from fruits to fast food, but any excessive consumption of food is harmful to health.

Finally, I think this is a type of bet that could easily be rigged, because how will the bet actually know if the person stopped eating because they are truly "full"? It is different from other sports where it is possible to have "signs" that the person lost on purpose.

Eating is like the opposite of a sport.
Who's going to watch people eat for fun?

Believe it or not, competitive eating is a thing. And where there is competition, presumably there is someone out there willing to bet on it.

I remember Nitrogensports.eu having those lines before. Hotdog eating contest and that chicken wings eating contest IIRC. Surprisingly, it got even discussed in the trollbox every so often, and people were kinda interested in betting on those just for fun. I'm sure no one in their sane mind would bet on such event to make money. People are there to have fun and kill time.

as you said, this is more on the entertaining side of things. but would be more fun betting if you are familiar with the participants. at least, you can cheer them while betting a lil bit. and if the event is so popular, maybe, that's when these bookies will list this kind of betting event.
with how things are going these days, we have seen a lot of challenges (i.e. tiktok challenge etc) that are going viral. so these bookies are seeing the demand of these hyped-up challenges.

It's subjective to each who sees it. But most of the competitions that are on this eating challenges are more with who's quick to eat within a give period of time.

I didn't really put 1xbet in mind when making this post. So it doesn't seem like am doing a campaign on their behalf.
I did well though to check out the 1xbet site to see if they had any betting feature for food betting. I learnt however that the foodbetting 1xbet was making a reference to was a new promo or reward options for its customers.
It is totally different from this post intention, even if it is gambling related.

Many users here are avoiding 1xbet because of its reputation, however, on the note of this kind of betting, it is quite new to most.
Maybe this bookie saw the potential of this betting game because if there are no people placing bets, of course, they won't offer it.
So it is the demand that they are looking at this betting game. We will know if it won't be a hit if they will remove it from their list.
If the event is quite popular, sure, there will be many players on this kind of game. But if not, I don't think they can get bettors on this.

Those kinds of bets can easily be open-street bets, but it would really not be easy to introduce them to the real casino, although they can include them if they want, but again, it's not a popular game. These are just some kinds of games that are carried out by some individuals in their locality, just as wiwo mentioned.

The ultimate question is, how marketable are those games?

This is one of the reasons why casinos will not implement such games into their casinos, because casinos are out for business and will only feature games that their know will generate enough revenue to run the business, that is why their store so hard to only develop and implement more exciting games.

Food betting won't be an attractive game to many since not everyone have such background of getting into the competition just for a bowl of food.

There use to be hotdog contest before or burger contest, the ones who ate the most wins. There were fast food restaurants who runs this kind of contest before, but it seem on the best promo of these days. A contest on who ever eats more within 5 minutes is nothing sort of different, it just need on to be hungry as a dog and he'll east faster than piranhas.

Its not a sport but a contest. Its easy to know who would win in such contest since its usually the big belly guys who wins an eating contest.

I'm a bit surprise OP didn't warn us that its from 1xbet.

Just watch some part of the foodbet video on Instagram, looks really interesting though, but it's a no no for me, eating can never be considered as a sports because its not, sports is supposed to burn calories in the body, burn body fats and not add to it, so clearly, eating can never be considered as sports, even if one day, the entire world wake up and made eating a sports, I will be that one person to keep standing on the fact that eating is not sports.

And besides, eating too much causes obesity...

Obesity according to google is
A disorder involving excessive body fat that increases the risk of health problems.
Obesity often results from taking in more calories than are burned by exercise and normal daily activities.

So putting the above definition into real context, can eating such foods as we see them eating in the video be considered sports?, No and never .
