I Love manga/anime mate and i will be more than willing to bet on this platform that offers Manga betting .

Does anyone has something like Site or Live casino that has this kind of betting ?

specially famous Manga characters Like one piece, Bleach ,Dragon Ball or even Ghostfighter?

I'd like the idea and if this is applicable for other manga's like Hunter x Hunter. There's one thing on my mind if Togashi will really return and continue the Dark continent arc.
And the bet would be if it's going to be this year or not. Sort of like that.

Oops I forgot to mention Hunter X Hunter  Grin
Well there seems to be a decent number of fans of Hunter x Hunter here maybe you could find someone to make some friendly bets with them, however at the same time taking into account the kind of bets you could make on the manga, like when togashi is finally going to comeback? I doubt you are going to have too many takers as most of them will probably not be very hopeful he is going to comeback this year.

His back problems are a huge problem for him and it seems he does not like the idea of someone helping him draw the manga which is making it more difficult for him, and when we take into account the complexity of the arc he is writing it is going to pass a long time before he makes a return.

Too many people, like illustrators, editors etc. know what happens in a book well before the book is published.

So, on a large scale this kind of betting isn't a good idea. But on the level of friends/family members/neighbors, why not? Smiley
Maybe they don't know the result beforehand in Oscars, but the outcome is so subjective like a fairytale/comic book stories ending. It's possible to bet in such things, but it's very hard to predict the correct result, because the variables are infinite and they don't rely on logic or facts, but on someone's imagination and creativity.
And in Oscars it's all about personal preferences of the judges. They just need to be creative to justify their decision, exactly like the writers mentioned above. You can't predict the scenario and pick the correct film being just technical. Although by a decade ago I think it was different, because there were films which really shone among others, but now all of them are similar, average movies.

First off, I disagree that movies have become worse, but this is totally off topic, so let's just leave it there. Smiley

The fact that the outcome is subjective has nothing to do with the possibility of betting on an event. You can bet on which hat Elizabeth the Second will wear tomorrow, and if no one in the royal household knows about the betting, it's all good, but the problem is that they all have the Internet access, and the probability of them knowing is very high.

Does anyone think that it can be a good idea to bet on the fights that only the writers know who will win?

Technically, NO but it's no different when betting on Oscars, International Pageants, etc. where someone who has the authority already knows the result.

Regardless, it's up to you if you want to bet on that if there's an open betting on it.

Do you see some crypto-gambling sites offering betting on that?

It's a predetermined game and there's always a possibility of a leak, and the players will always speculate that there's a leak happen, but this is something new and might interest the betting public, we all want to think of anything that we can bet on, even on trading there are a lot of bets on the price and the trend.

Yes, it could also be manipulative on the writer's part. It would be interesting for readers but not for bettors that don't read the manga. They could create it for a friendly bet or for entertainment purposes but not for big-time gamblers.

Spoilers and leaks will be your biggest enemy when it comes to betting on premade stuff like manga and comics. This has also happened in the past with voting polls for which character would the audience readers want to kill off in a comic chapter, like what happened in DC Comics in the 80s. Sometimes the outcome is already in front of the viewers faces that it is almost for certain that you'd win, so I don't think these type of betting, although novel, will flourish.

This kills it, who will bet on something that can be manipulated it will just cause suspicion and loss of reputation for the gambling site, now bettors have reason to blame gambling sites if they lose their bet, there are games that's not worth betting and Mangs is one of them, and besides there are alsready a lot of betting games, so we may not see this on any gambling sites.

any contract that has an "oracle" function can be used for such type of bet. it's funny because you can setup automatically without a third party control. Manga have their niche of users but are not really widespread like Oscar or other tv show.
In the past a fiction betting game about the end of "game of Thrones" has been hosted by freebitcoin.in !

Sounds fun. I would bet on Itachi in the fight against Sasuke in episode 138 and lost that bet Cheesy. I think under certain regulations betting on fights in anime/manga would work but not on a big scale as the results would be easily manipulatable.

There should a poll on this, there is no manga betting on all the gambling sites I'm playing, there are advantages and disadvantages it's up to the betting members if they are going to bet on this kind of games, it's open to manipulation but bettors can relate and that will be fun.

In my honest opinion, this could not be possible for a crypto gambling site to make a bet on, this can be considered as a good friendly bet between friends, and nothing more, I know it can be a good thing for anime fans to make a bet on their favorite characters and just enjoy the next chapter on who's going to win but a manga betting would not be possible the story can surely be predetermined what if a key character would fight a certain someone they can sure have an idea on what the author wants to happen, I really think that predictions on manga that had a story on it are surely predetermined and people can make accurate prediction sometimes.

But if you are watching Death Battle on youtube then a good bet can sure establish on a betting site.

It will not attract big bettors if the result is already known, there's a possibility of a leak or cheating if there is a big bet on the other side, the developers can leak the results to someone to win bets, and the accusations of leak will always surface and the reputation of the gambling site will be questionable.
Don't worry High Bettors already Knows those possibilities and they will never let their funds Losses in this way.

and actually what i see is? people that will be interested to bet on this kind are those some kind of semi childish type  Grin (Don't get me wrong Manga lovers because i am also one of you)

But lets see what comes sooner, because i believe that there is nothing yet having this kind of betting area in gambling now.

Spoilers are definitely a risk but this should mostly concern the bookmaker. He needs to make the odds for which the fans can gamble. The best would be to just cancel one bet if there is some material information being leaked. It is hard to proof who has access to such kind of information and who doesn't. So as long as we make sure that no one profits and no one loses from it we would be fine. Still making odds on those kind events seems very difficult but the demand is definitely there.

I believe that is one major issue that the bookies will tackle if in case they will add this in their betting list. For those who have idea about the script, they can easily get their winnings here. Maybe these manga fans can just create their own pvp betting group. I don't think crypto sportsbooks or other bookies will add this on their line-up.

I was reading Kengan Omega and Records of Ragnarok and I think that it can be used for potential betting because the story is ongoing and it is a fight which means that we can put our bets on who wins or whether the round is a draw. RoR has a predetermined roster though so you can only bet on who wins the match and no in-between since it is a fight to the death. Does anyone think that it can be a good idea to bet on the fights that only the writers know who will win?

Never a good idea !
The writers write it obv but it goes through long process of submission and then the illustration, there is a whole team of people working for it and at the end of the day the team knows what's gonna happen which does mean that if anyone of them did a mistake or maybe took some money and gave the information to someone then what would it become of them ? This is a predetermined story it's not happening live ! It's like betting on the matches of WWE if you know what I mean. Both are fixed and you can't have 100% fair trade here.
Better bet if Hunter X Hunter's author will return in 2021 or no 😂
LOL it is nice to find a fan that is also suffering like me, that guy is taking the longest breaks possible while producing the minimum just to keep his fans interested, at this rate he is never going to finish writing the manga and we will be left wondering what was supposed to happen on the story.

But coming back to the topic at hand it is really difficult to bet on this because as you said the outcome has been determined way beforehand and as we know there are leaks, so no casino worth their salt is going to offer this as a gambling option which is why in my previous response I claimed that only informal bets among friends could be made.

Edit: I didn't mean a large scale betting it is more of an informal, like how you do a bet with your friends and nothing more than that.
When you put it that way I think anything could be used as betting material for it.
I remember growing up my siblings and I would guess what would be the next commercial on T.V and the one who have the highest score would be the first to play on our P.S1.

I can't say about International Pageants, but with Oscars the outcome isn't known beforehand to so many people as in the case of a book. The famous incident on the stage of the Oscars 2017 can serve as a proof of that:

Glad you cleared it out. All or most of the impressions is that you suggest that Manga Betting can be featured nor be done in existing gambling websites. IN small scale betting, yes it is possible for like less than a hundred bets and to those who generally is close to you and a fan of what you would bet on, a simple fun game to be specific. But when it would be a gamble of huge bets, I guess it could not really be fun to gamble at all. Lastly, Manga Betting still relies on the Author's ideas and can easily be predicted when some leaks of issues are published by anonymous people online.

A community or group of people who are fan of Manga comics can surely have personal bets between them to predict the outcome.Because if there were some market for manga bets it could be easily manipulated by the writers and win huge profits.You cannot make bets whose outcome is predictable by some individuals.But if you are taking about personal bets then you can surely have that option.

We have a lot of fun betting with friends and not every bet has any tricks everyone plays to win but this game will be different with manga betting. The rules of the game are also quite different from baseball if the rule is to strike or to miss, then all those who have bet against him on the other hand if the bet can be won in the case of winning if everyone passes to bet then he will win and all his opponents will be his.

This would be a very niche thing but I don't see anything wrong with it. As long as it's just betting between friends then we really don't have to worry about manipulation of the final outcome. It would be like betting on pro wrestling. You know that the result is predetermined but only a few people know this result ahead of time.
No matter who is the winner, if we are betting between friends, we might not feel too regret because we know one of us can be the winner.
That will depend on how good we play on that game and if we can play together with our friend in one place, that will be a pleasure to us.
Even if the manipulations can happen at the end of the result, sometimes we do not care because we only want to play the game with our friends.
But it is better if the result will not get manipulations to be more attractive to see the result and the winner.
Sounds right, as long as you have a friend/set of friends who are willing to place bets here, sure. Just as usual, mostly your cousins would be the ones who would be willing to do it with you.

I still remember the days when I and my cousins would place bets (real cash) on our school mates kid fights, we were in primary school. Associating it with your post, I guess the principle is the same. As long as two parties are willing to place bets, there will be no problem with it.
Hahaha, I miss that day too when I was a child.
I also have experience betting with some friends.
That is not for a fight but that is about what a girl will react when she got a flower or something like that.
The winner will win some money or get a lunch free and that was fun to do that thing.
That will not have manipulation because that moment is real and we can not arrange what will happen.
I wonder what it will be like if the betting will use manga.

If this would be a personal betting event then it is an interesting idea among the fans who love to read manga and gamble for betting on the outcome of the next story. The thing is manga stories could be leaked, I mean if the manga serialization was adapted from games or novels. People would definitely know what would happen in the next chapter if they had been read the story through the novel in the first place.

I don't see anything wrong with manga betting, from my view it's kind of similar to betting on WWE where it's scripted but sportsbooks still allow betting on these events since there are gamblers willing to bet on it. You could probably do it on a site like betmoose since they allow their bettors to start their own specific bet.

I don't think that manga is cool for betting because the outcome is always predictable , Bettors will Win mostly and that is not the concept of Being in gambling because the house usually wins and not the players.
If sportsbooks are willing to open a market just for manga they'd probably put a low limit on the lines so even if it gets abused the losses won't be too damaging for them.
Well that's a good point , i have enjoyed WWE since childhood and just learn about the script when I'm in college.

So yeah let us know when there is available spot on betting for this Manga thing and i will gladly try and win.

Yes, in my opinion this is a good idea.  You can place bets on the victory of one or another Manga hero (Manga Betting).

The fact that the writer (screenwriter) knows how the battle will end is not an obstacle.  You can make anonymous bets.  Until the end of the battle, no one will know - on the victory of which Manga hero this or that player has bet.  

Cryptocurrencies allow the creation of smart contracts through which such bets can be made.  

After the end of the battles, the winning bets are revealed and the players - the winners receive their winnings.

^ Just because this could be a cooking show if in case! You would only take advantage of you have a deep connection with the writer. Also, betting on manga will never work as gambling has to be fast-paced most of the time. Gamblers are playing because they do not want to wait. They want results asap. So I think it would be better to place bets in eSports science compared to this. Informal betting would not be the best idea here, as the possible community might be too small. So I would suggest if you may find a better idea, let us see and talk about it.

This would be a very niche thing but I don't see anything wrong with it. As long as it's just betting between friends then we really don't have to worry about manipulation of the final outcome. It would be like betting on pro wrestling. You know that the result is predetermined but only a few people know this result ahead of time.

I don't see anything wrong with manga betting, from my view it's kind of similar to betting on WWE where it's scripted but sportsbooks still allow betting on these events since there are gamblers willing to bet on it. You could probably do it on a site like betmoose since they allow their bettors to start their own specific bet.

I don't think that manga is cool for betting because the outcome is always predictable , Bettors will Win mostly and that is not the concept of Being in gambling because the house usually wins and not the players.
If sportsbooks are willing to open a market just for manga they'd probably put a low limit on the lines so even if it gets abused the losses won't be too damaging for them.

I was reading Kengan Omega and Records of Ragnarok and I think that it can be used for potential betting because the story is ongoing and it is a fight which means that we can put our bets on who wins or whether the round is a draw. RoR has a predetermined roster though so you can only bet on who wins the match and no in-between since it is a fight to the death. Does anyone think that it can be a good idea to bet on the fights that only the writers know who will win?

Maybe that games are not used for gambling, but maybe that will happen in the future as the gambling industry grows fast in this era and the gambling owner can have many new ideas on what they can use to have a new gambling game. But if that games can be used for gambling and only the writers know who will win, I guess that will not be good as the match can be set by them and win the character or players they like. That will not be fair for people who play that games.

I doubt such betting would ever be able to take off for a few reasons but as already mentioned, you cannot bet on something where the outcome is already pre-determined by a single writer. If the writer ever found out they could make big money, then they could easily bet on the winner before they even release the next "battle". Even if they were super honest and kept the result hidden from those around them, they would instantly become a target for hackers who could also profit off the information in the same way. There is plenty of room for non-gaming bets going on, you could head over to smarkets to see some examples - they have a "Current Affairs" and "TV & Entertainment" section. The sort of bets they allow cannot be easily influenced by one or two people alone, like Who will win Eurovision? Will self-driving vehicles be allowed on EU roads in 2021?

I agree.

There's no way that the author wouldn't know about it if there's already a huge betting scenario on his novel, for sure he would do something about it, either he'll manipulate the story in his favor if he's gonna bet too using different name and identity which would ruin the original flow of the manga or he'll decided to stop it because people are betting on it which wasn't his purpose.

is there a protagonist on RoR? if there is, wouldn't it be easier to bet in favor of the protagonist? since the fight is to the death I doubt they'd the protagonist. if there isn't a protagonist, then, maybe, but sometimes plots make it so easy to guess who is going to win or not.
I am currently reading RoR and I can confirm that there is no main protagonist, they are just fighting against each other and currently the fight is Buddha versus Zerofuku, there is no clear winner yet it could be betted on with your friend if you like to.

I remember as a kid I use to bet POGs with friends on whoever wins on every round on chunin exam in naruto. I know I am contradicting what I first said but as a kid, we really had no concept of plot and we only pick character base on how strong they look or if we like them. it was a fun experience as a kid.

Well as you already say your self, large scale betting would be problematic in my opinion, because there are just to many people out there that already know what happens, because my guess would be that there are at least 100+ people involved in the production of those big mangas/anime.
An informal betting betting about those things could be really fun though. I mean someone could create a website where users can give their prediction what happens next for the animes they watch and know. Another possible and even easier way is to just create a thread in a forum like this and let the people vote. There are already anime forums out there so i guess stuff like that already exists.

The same with One Piece, another popular manga.

But the twist goes for those who will have a match up. For example: Basil Hawkins versus X-Drake or so as the latest arc is now in Wanokuni.

The usual thing we know in manga and series', we know that it's most of the time the main character wins.
That's the problem, they have a plot armor of some sort so I understand why it isn't good for a large scale betting, it's more of a your friend bet on who wins in the match in the manga.
Yes, and they have to get into the latest manga chapter every week or whenever there's a release.

That's it , how can someone provide a gambling set up that will surely makes them lose in the end ? because the problem of Manga movies are always the main character will win and will beat the antagonist whatever the fight goes in the middle.
so consider it as a viewed ending always.
Sometimes there's a twist but as we know, the main character always gets to win a match or a battle. But there could be something else that they can put into betting if there will be a casino that will add this type of betting but I doubt that there will be.

You can have all sorts of gambling in the world as long as you willing to host it. This type of gambling is only suitable for a small group of people because if there is a casino organize such bet, authors of the stories will likely change the plot so as to benefit himself. Moreover, if the participants are too rich, they can spend money to rewrite the story, too.

In conclusion, it might be fun to make such bet with your homies who are also Weaboos but it is not good to join any large casino because of the manipulation
Probably but from the OP, it says that it is more of a small bet with your friends who read the manga too so that means that OP didn't really meant to make it a big betting event because it is impossible since the writer can get the wind that there is a betting for what happens next.

including illegal ? but some can go away with illegal gambling if they do it secretly and if manga betting exist,
i think this can also fall in illegal betting category because betting in it can ruin the story of manga series .

whats the point of gambling if they will pay to fix the game or if they are already rich ? .
if you follow the manga series for a long time you will notice if there are weird changes in the story . you know who to blame :wink:

If for casual gambling, not a serious one, then it would be okay. It's the same "level" as betting on a streamer whether he is going to win or lose on a multiplayer game. Yes, he (the streamer) can intentionally throw matches, but that's the fun element in it.

There is also betting on Jose Mourinho Next Club? when he, his family, his manager, and all the parties involved already know the answer.

Not reaallyy a good idea, especially since the winner is determined by someone, and not something. Unlike competitions where it's basically transparent how players win, betting on who wins in a manga seems unfruitful imo. As others have said, the ending has most likely been pre-determined, so having a bet in a pre-determined fight, I guess you can realize how stupid the idea sounds no? If it's with friends then feel free but it honestly isn't a good idea imo. Plot development could be seen at times and characters have their plot armors so the winners could be determined through that, and not really based on strength levels or skills.

I don't think this is a good idea because it can be manipulated and you might lose your money easily especially if you bet against the creator of this Manga. You can ask your friends who support this Manga to have bet with you but don't think to make it online because there will be cheaters if ever. Just enjoy reading the Manga and watching Anime, I'm also a supporter of Manga love them so much.

And what if the writers will make heavy bets on the characters they will decide to win? Do you think that is still fair? Or what if a wealthy or very powerful person approaches the writer and bribes him to tell him which character will turn out the winner? Or what if some syndicate group will look for the manga author or creator and force him to write the way they wanted because they have already made large bets on a certain character?
1) Read the thread. OP said there are no sites offering a market for manga so it's a personal bet, not the biggest betting event of the year attracting powerful ppl, the mafia and billions of dollars, 2) gambling in japan is banned so none of what u said is gonna happen anyway

1. I am responding to the OP. He made no mention of personal bets there.

2. There's actually legal sports betting in Japan, lottery and betting on horse racing too. Those are gambling. And if ever this kind of betting becomes a reality, the platform and the bookies don't have to be based and registered in Japan.

3. We are all discussing here of something that is not happening, so we are all free to air our side and express our opinion.

If there is demand then the market will exist. Simple as that.

I simply don't think that right now, there is sufficient manga readers who are interested in actively speculating on the outcomes for real money. Perhaps discussions/friendly games would be a popular mode though - something like a fantasy league/bracket could work.

Also, as a gambler, you have to ask yourself whether this is going to be worth it. The writers could actively manipulate the outcomes for personal profit, or even employ others to bet for them. This is not like sports where outcomes are (hopefully) random as it is bilateral. This is completely unilateral.

I want it more of like a personal/informal betting, this is a weird betting and I don't think that there is any site that is going to list that.

For that idea, you can set up a thread and see if someone will take a challenge.

Who knows that others are also aware of that subject and accept your bet.

You can bet on ANYTHING, literally. There's not a thing that can't be turned into something people can bet on.
So, yes, it's a possibility, and I personally think this would be interesting. Sport is fun, but sometimes I'm bored of it and something new would be entertaining.
Also, another amazing feature of such "matches" would be that they're 100% not rigged and you can make predictions by analyzing the known data about the characters. People change in real life, but in books/movies, they pretty much stay the same.
So yeah, I'd definitely try that out, I actually think it's a neat idea, maybe you should promote this and make a business out of it? You could make a fortune if people latch onto it.

For sure that will really be the case and its still hard to trust up with these kind of betting where bets can easily be fucked up depending on the mind of the writer.

Come to think that each decision would really be possibly be altered nor get affected with several external involvement neither it would be personal or really make out some intent for the
sake of making more money.So i dont really see this to be that appealing due to those very common reasons.

maybe this is also one of the reasons why there's no bookie that got interested in manga betting. as the results can be potentially change by the writer esp if he knows there's large money at stake. there are several gambling-related manga though.  Tongue
but we are not closing on this idea. because there are so many manga followers here and at some point, they may set-up their own pvp betting on this area.
Yes, this is what im saying.If ever there are gambling that do correlates with manga events the can you share it out? I do make out some research but i havent found one.

Most likely these would be done on local betting towards other people but having some international sites about manga betting is something we cant just easily to find.

Those factors i had mentioned will really be most likely to be the problem on why this one isnt really that appealing to make some bets.

If this is implemented, doesn't this mean that all the teams involved in the making must already know the results of betting because they have already known the plot of the story or manga?
it was the author that creates the story line not the staff and other parts of the team but some of them will be able to tell if whats going to be next in the story if ever the author tells them  .

And how do we control them from taking part in betting when we might not cooperate with their industry?
the betting site/organizer is the one that will cooperate to them and tell them that teams are not allowed to participate in the betting .

Maybe this can be used as a bet between friends, in the sense of people you know and are certainly not part of the team. because this is in order to be fair to others.
idk if manga betting is popular as normal betting but this will likely happen if no betting sites support the manga that you want to bet on  .

There was a website called (I think it was) betsofbitcoin. Does anyone remember that website? Users could create their own events for people to bet on. Moderators would determine the outcome on the appointed date. The site seems to have been shut down years ago.

I know of a ETH token that lets users/holders design their own bets and outcome qualifiers for who wins.   I guess people can bet on anything but ideally the amount of money already involved with the outcome not being biased or made known before the end date is far greater then the amounts being bet upon on it.   There is a danger the tail will wag the dog if bets are involved with relatively low level events or sports, its unfortunate but it wouldnt be anything new to occur and its best not to tempt fate on this really.

I haven't seen one bookie that offers manga betting but I don't think that they're going to have this option in the near future. They're focusing on the gamblers that are sharing the same interests in sports which is mostly the apple of the eye for betting.
But it might be if a casino that's dedicated for the same gamblers who are also manga lovers. I think it's going to be needing a lot of effort if it's episode per episode that would have that kind of betting or any part of the story that betting is applicable.

Maximum betting limits are usually low for pre scripted events like WWE and pro wrestling. They're usually not worth betting on if the goal is solely to turn a profit and make money. $200 as a ballpark estimate for a max bet wouldn't be unreasonable. Hardcore gamblers often demand max bet limits greater than $10k.

There was a website called (I think it was) betsofbitcoin. Does anyone remember that website? Users could create their own events for people to bet on. Moderators would determine the outcome on the appointed date. The site seems to have been shut down years ago.

I have not come across many gamblers who were also fans of manga/manwha. OP I think you're the 1st I've ever seen aside from myself.

Im a fan of manga and loves to read and watch a lot but the betting with it is quite not possible since it will only depend in writers idea and plot twist of the story. What can be done is to have a poll and see whom and what instances they can win or lose to give some ideas for author but not to the point we will bet on his decision or writers plan whether to make it a win or not since some might manipulate the betting by talking to him privately.

Never a good idea !
The writers write it obv but it goes through long process of submission and then the illustration, there is a whole team of people working for it and at the end of the day the team knows what's gonna happen which does mean that if anyone of them did a mistake or maybe took some money and gave the information to someone then what would it become of them ? This is a predetermined story it's not happening live ! It's like betting on the matches of WWE if you know what I mean. Both are fixed and you can't have 100% fair trade here.

This is interesting, I have seen people betting on almost anything imaginable so I am not against this, however there are several problems with this, the first is that this is going to be a very small and niche market and no casino is going to offer it so you will need to find someone that wants to gamble against you.

The second are the odds, what odds are you going to use? I have not read that manga but if one of the main characters is on that fight then you need to adjust the odds accordingly as it is unlikely a character like that will lose, and finally you need to consider what to do when there is an outcome different than one character winning or losing, after all we know that authors are famous for pulling stuff that makes no sense to force an unexpected outcome.

Does anyone think that it can be a good idea to bet on the fights that only the writers know who will win?
On the way the manga gambling story can be called the genre of assessment of manga game gambling bettors is considered less attractive, but as the OP said what makes this game interesting is the storyline that makes the game fun in the action.

To determine victory in gambling is usually taken from the main character's journey. Meaning: who becomes the strongest king, he will win.

Any game play is basically determined by your own genius to determine the victory, manga games are almost the same as the type of strategy and war based games, in manga games are very determined by talent.

I was reading Kengan Omega and Records of Ragnarok and I think that it can be used for potential betting because the story is ongoing and it is a fight which means that we can put our bets on who wins or whether the round is a draw. RoR has a predetermined roster though so you can only bet on who wins the match and no in-between since it is a fight to the death. Does anyone think that it can be a good idea to bet on the fights that only the writers know who will win?

The problem on this kind of Bet was the result is predetermined by the author and there's an antagonist factor or story line for the match result. I believe this bet is good when betting against a friend. Using it on betting against the house will gonna result to chaos on manga industry since the author can be bribe to manipulate the result especially when a lot of money involve.

You should be very cautious when you bet on this kind of events, because the final outcome can be changed according to the odds. For example if people mostly bet on one outcome, the writer could bet on the opposite outcome with the biggest odds and change the winner in his history after that. A good way to handle that would be to write the hash code of the name of the winner in a previously published book or on blockchain in a publicly known block.
Read @Lorence.xD's reply, it seems that OP has explained that it isn't available as a widespread betting and more of a personal bet, so from what I can understand from it is that it is like where you and your other friend who reads the manga are betting as to who is going to win the match.

I doubt such betting would ever be able to take off for a few reasons but as already mentioned, you cannot bet on something where the outcome is already pre-determined by a single writer. If the writer ever found out they could make big money, then they could easily bet on the winner before they even release the next "battle". Even if they were super honest and kept the result hidden from those around them, they would instantly become a target for hackers who could also profit off the information in the same way. There is plenty of room for non-gaming bets going on, you could head over to smarkets to see some examples - they have a "Current Affairs" and "TV & Entertainment" section. The sort of bets they allow cannot be easily influenced by one or two people alone, like Who will win Eurovision? Will self-driving vehicles be allowed on EU roads in 2021?

And what if the writers will make heavy bets on the characters they will decide to win? Do you think that is still fair? Or what if a wealthy or very powerful person approaches the writer and bribes him to tell him which character will turn out the winner? Or what if some syndicate group will look for the manga author or creator and force him to write the way they wanted because they have already made large bets on a certain character?
1) Read the thread. OP said there are no sites offering a market for manga so it's a personal bet, not the biggest betting event of the year attracting powerful ppl, the mafia and billions of dollars, 2) gambling in japan is banned so none of what u said is gonna happen anyway

There are so many reasons why this is not a good idea.

There a lot of manga fans, so the possibility that people would like to bet on an outcome is definitely there. I am a huge Manga fan myself, but didn't read RoR yet. Maybe you want to try and give odds here on the forum and see if some users will take your bet.

My recommendation for another bet: When is the third Season of One Punch Man coming out? 2021, 2022, 2023 or never?
I guess anything could be betted on. But I lean more on making sure that it is accessible and can be read since Kengan Omega releases its chapters weekly so we can easily know who will win or will it be draw. I wouldn't hope for a One Punch Man third season look how long it took for a season 2, your opponent with the bet might've forgotten about the bet when the Season 3 is released. I recommend that you read Records of Ragnarok, it's literally Man versus Gods in a MMA style arena.

I want it more of like a personal/informal betting
then go for it. I doubt the manga author would want to manipulate the story in order to mess with your bets  Cheesy

there could be a lot of fans. Question is are they into betting? My answer would be no, there's a reason is why bookmakers don't even offer odds for the more popular manga titles out there

Technically, NO but it's no different when betting on Oscars, International Pageants, etc. where someone who has the authority already knows the result.

Regardless, it's up to you if you want to bet on that if there's an open betting on it.

Do you see some crypto-gambling sites offering betting on that?
I want it more of like a personal/informal betting, this is a weird betting and I don't think that there is any site that is going to list that. Kind of like how you are trying to predict who wins and the one who predicts right wins the bet.

Edit: I didn't mean a large scale betting it is more of an informal, like how you do a bet with your friends and nothing more than that.
