Before, I don't usually bet on this type of game as they are a waste of time and effort to watch.
But now, if there's an available line I try them and pick the favorite player or team in other sports. They mostly win in my experience although it's not that rewarding as the favorites are given lower profits.
Referee stoppage on what round could be the choice in boxing if they won't score it.

The sites where I play, do not offer bets on exhibition matches...so I cannot see why some bookmakers and casinos can actually offer that to their users. I think they might offer a bet on a knockout, because it is very clear who wins the fight in that instance.... but any other outcome will be very controversial.

Even if they offer bets on exhibition matches, I will not bet on it.... because these exhibition matches are money printers and publicity stunts.  Roll Eyes

Exhibition bouts are becoming increasingly successful in selling PPVs. Basically what it means is that there's your regular card setup with 4 fights (I mostly see this in boxing) and at least one has some big name that attracts a ton of public. For instance, Mayweather's last exhibiton fight has over 4 million views in japan:
If I do not misunderstand the exhibition match is one type of match called 'friendship' this is a bet not included in the competition or tournament, yes, usually often bet on sports betting, including boxing, can be said to be an unofficial type of bet.

Bets like exhibitions are often made for boxers who have had a career like you mentioned, I mean those who have good odds when fighting, usually done by many bettors in exhibition bets as a charity and entertainment for fans, usually such bets to get the best points for the coach, so they can put the best boxer in the ring.

In friendship soccer matches or any other type of sports i've seen there's official scoring. What im saying here is, there is no scoring, no real way to know who won in order to see who won the gamble, thus how is it even possible to place bets on such events?

Also I've heard k-1 was involved in several fixed fights during the Prime era, so the shadow of doubt is there involving these exhibitions. These KO's look a bit weird if you ask me but you never know. If you get hit on a place were the stability is lost it can look kinda funny when you try to get back up.

None of these fights are sanctioned, there's no official scoring or winner. So my question is: How is it even possible to place bets on such fights if no official winner is announced?

I usually do not bet on exhibition matches as most of the time these matches are fixed and their result is pre-decided.

Also, what do you mean by the official winner is not announced? There is always a result in these matches. So if you are betting on an exhibition match, the gambling houses will settle the bet in the favor of whoever won the bet. So settling the bet on an exhibition match will never be an issue.

I would bet on Floyd winning every single one of these but then again, how does this even work if no scoring is done?

Not possible as I don't remember gambling sites listing an exhibition match involving Floyd Mayweather Jr.

I think they already learned from the experience when Mayweather Jr fought against one of the Paul brothers and in the end, no winners were announced and that is not disclosed on the terms that's why betting sites listed that fight.

The betting was canceled and the bets are refunded. That's what I remember and if I'm wrong, somebody can correct me.

Gambling sites are not listing all exhibition matches basically because of an obvious reason.

If there will be any bets, they should be seen on the actual venue managed by random guys who are taking advantage of that situation.

And even if that was listed on a gambling site, expect betting options in favor of Mayweather Jr. will have low odds that are not worth placing a bet on.

Come to think of it Mayweather against a Youtuber, will this attract bettors, and will bookies get interested in this matchup, this is for entertainment only, the winner here is obvious, but there are exhibition matches that are worth it, like the coming Silva - Paul fight, but we never know if there are talks on the results because it's easy to fix an exhibition and if they are accused of fixing, they will just say of course its exhibition Cheesy

This is the trend now started by the Paul brothers and then taken up by popular retired boxers, it's not easy to launch exhibitions like this, you need a big fan base that is willing to support you, for the Paul brothers it's their Youtube followers, for Mayweather, of course, his boxing fans, it's still generating excitement.

Some exhibitions do have winners but an exhibition is just a show-up if they are not going to announce winners you don't have to bet, it will just be a cause of argument if you bet against someone

Floyd is fighting again some huge UK Youtuber "Deji" in a couple of weeks, I would place bets but I don't want to end up scammed given the grey area of this whole exhibiton fights thing.
Floyd is going to win for the obvious reasons he is a legendary and undefeated boxer what can a Youtuber do against Floyd, it's better not to pay attention to these exhibitions if there is no rule that there should be a winner.

Usually if there's no judge, there must be a way to have a winner on it based on what the bookies will represent how they'll call it as a win.

But it's better to have that idea of avoiding them if you're having that hard time in thinking who could be the winner if there are no judges present on an exhibition match.

Or before betting, you may ask the bookie that you're going to bet about how they're going to determine the winner of a match, I think that's okay to do.
Just that common sense, you would eventually find out on how they would be declaring the winner.If there are judges then its good to make out some bet and of course we would really be sticking with the obvious

favorite of the said exhibition fight but if there's no referee then its better not to make out some bets.There's no way to determine and could really be ending up on having a draw or something like that.

We've seen lots of exhibition matches, some of them arent been offered by bookies specially into those very obvious results or outcome of a certain fight.
I think that's out of this world fight, even an exhibition match requires a referee. I haven't seen a boxing match that doesn't have a referee, even a not professional fight, like for the amateurs.

There's still a referee.

So, I don't think that there will be an instance that exhibition matches will have no referee unless it's written on the contract on the boxers that are involved in that fight.

As for the bookies, they sure have a standard that's set in determining that and what's the obvious that will appear for their declared winner.

There is little information about this matter. What we know is that most bookmakers don't offer exhibition matches bets to their customers, because after all there isn't a winner and the only purpose of the fight is entertainment for the public and donation campaigns in some cases.

I suppose the few sportsbooks offering these bets reach to a final conclusion based on the performance of each fighter. The one who shows visible superior quality must be considered the winner by the casinos.

Since it is a exhibition fight, it must not be hard to guess the superior fighter, as these matches usually feature celebrities against professional fighters. So you can expect the odds to be really disproportionate.
Most of bookmakers wont really be giving out lines available for these fights specially if its a cross-sport involved in between which it is really just bright as day on who would be the winner.

Therefore, its obvious that they wont really be giving out odds, if there are then it would be 1.01x  .. Do people find out for these numbers to be interesting? Cheesy

Even if you arent a sports lover, you would eventually find out on whose ass would be beaten up.

It's simple if there will be no winner or loser its useless to bet on these matches I never bet on exhibition matches even on other sports because there's a lack of seriousness on the part of the competing team or individuals, it is for entertainment purposes only, but there are exhibition that has declared winners, Jake's Paul exhibition matches generate interest because it doesn't look like an exhibition the way he knocks out his opponents, the same way professionals fought each other.
Only bet on real matches not on exhibitions because manipulation can happen in exhibition matches.

Exhibition fight in boxing and some other sport are not real fight. It is a non-profit fight, participants normally fight in less rounds, like up to three, the kind of gloves the boxers wear are not delivering much punches like the ones worn during real boxing fight. Let us see it just like friendly matches in football. There are some sportbooks that do not include such matches, they prefer real boxing matches, but some sportbooks include it. This is never a match I can go for though.
^ As a bettor, I will never place a bet if the sportsbook includes the exhibition match. Because that is too complicated to bet since we don't know how the match going on or probably it is a fixed match that they already know who is the winner. They don't have a position or rank to depend on, it is pure entertainment and I think betting on them is not a good idea. That is why they called it an exhibition match because of the entertainment purpose.

my take here also, is not to bet on exhibition matches. we also don't know their arrangements prior to the match. as it is only an exhibition match, they can set their own rules without informing the public before hand. some of these fights also are being held to raise some funds for charity purposes, so it doesn't really matter who will emerge as a winner.
if you do want to bet, better go to top and reputable bookies. at least they may be fair and square with the results. they will just return your money if in case the outcome is very controversial one. for exhibition matches, better sit down and relax. no need to stress yourself betting on this match.

This is a good question OP.  I know the Paul brothers fights feel like an exhibition but pretty sure they are scored and what not, but the other type of exhibition matches that I've started to gain some interest in is the ones with former sports stars.  Like former Vikings running back Adrian Peterson had a boxing match versus former Steelers running back LeVeon Bell.  Bell knocked Peterson out, so obviously that score took care of itself, but I wonder had he not done so, how would the fight have been called. 

Anyone else been watching these former athlete boxing matches lately?

But the question is, are there even sports betting sites that offers odds for this type of matches? I haven't heard one though and if ever there are then they can be suspicious or being offered by an unknown sports betting website.

A fight won't be completed if without a winner so even we say that this is an exhibition match and there are no official rules, then they can still have an unofficial rules in which the criteria for judging or scoring may differ a little bit. You need to watch previous exhibition matches first or get some information online to know if what the judges are looking for so that you won't think that you have been scammed by a bookie.

AFAIK in boxing, an exhibition match mostly doesn't have any official judges and the only way to win is by knock out their opponent. If it's goes to distance, there's no one will win, lose or draw. But each exhibition match are vary one by one since it depends on the both party who create and agree with their rules. While in amateur or professional fights there's an official judges and there's a winner, loser or draw depends on the score.

If you want to bet on boxing exhibition match, I don't think bet on Mayweather is profitable since he will become a huge favorited. You need to consider bet Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva, IMO Jake Paul will win even though he's an underdog.
