Topic: Other Things You Can Bet on Aside Sports and Casino Games - page 2. (Read 453 times)

Are you sure this is for real OP, someone to bet on when the world will come to an end when the bible can't even tell us about when the world will come to an end. I think this is madness for betting on something that you might not live to see.

My question now is,who will win the bet if the other gambler dies and who will be in charge of the funds when the funds holder is dead. It means that these set of gamblers are throwing away their money foolishly,all in the name of gambling because it is impossible to live forever and witness the end time to win your bet.

That's very true. There are even games that are not competed in the Olympics, they are more played in the locals. Some sports have more fans watching them because the sport is also loved by other countries. Cricket for instance was just imported by the Brits to India which the Indians also like playing.

Presidential Election is listed in bookies I guess because the majority likes to feel vindicated when their president won. I myself have tried this after all we all like talking about politics. But betting when The End of the World comes is the craziest.

Anything could be gambled about. Difference is the volume and interest to a certain topic. Ever wondered why not all games are having tournaments? Or not all sports are being displayed with sportsbetting platforms? 'coz it does not have enough fanbase or community to support the interest. With reggards to odd topics such as Celebrity's death, it would be possible IF you will have someone or group of people who you could /have be in contrast with. It will all start with two or more different stands in a single topic and the will to put money or anything in exchange for the consequence of having the wrong standpoint or guess. Therefore, anything is simply possible to be a betting topic.

I don't know the others because so far I only bet on general things like sports, and sometimes Oscars, and the presidential election, and to be honest I'm not really interested in betting on uncommon events because it's uninteresting and some bets are very strange in my opinion even almost certain as there is no end result so it will only be a waste of our money, like betting on the doomsday or also betting on the death of famous people.
I remember that there was a new bookmaker that appeared when Covid-19 first appeared and the world entered the pandemic phase where the gambling site made a bet on how many people would die because the Covid-19 and I think that was a form of betting that was very abnormal and had no empathy for the world's conditions at that time, thankfully the gambling site was dead because businesses that take advantage of people's distress are not worthy of being supported by the community.

But that seems to be able to interest some people to place bets even though they don't know the final result. But I think such a bet should not be necessary and should be replaced with other bets because it involves God's power. We will never know when the end of the world will be.

Perhaps, the presidential election can be used as a bet because the time is clear, and we can see who will be the president. So it's certainly an interesting bet, and I've even seen some of my neighbors trying to predict who will be the next president. And the winner will get a lot of food. It's a fair bet

I think this kind of betting aren't interested for many gamblers because it's really unpredictable, many bettors tend to bet on sports where it's more predictable and they already follow the team or player for a long time. This will make them more familiar with the match and able to predict better everyday because they keep learning and experienced.

Yes material betting I think is one of the old ways of betting where you could either stake your shirt, snickers, jewelry, cap etc. All those have been used as betting in the past. Back in the past neighborhood betting was more like this especially during weekends when young men gather to bet their money with dice or cards and it will get to an extent where the loser starts betting with his belongings right there because he doesn't want to give up.

From everything you have to offer I think betting on something that makes sense and we can enjoy more than betting on assumptions on aliens, Celebrity Deaths, End of the World, etc, which are far too far fetched to be ridiculous. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just that we have to bet in a way and style that is indeed an area that we can enjoy and we can measure. People try to push the boundaries when it comes to betting but then again betting is natural for something that isn't harmful or hurting anyone's feelings. For example, people who bet on other people's deaths? Is it too much to make death a place to make money? determine the end of the world even yourself when the world ends have no time to secure wealth other than your own safety. Imagine if your death was gambled by someone else? and it was witnessed by himself how the response?

It's true that this is a very ridiculous bet because only God knows and what's even more ridiculous is, as you say, we won't know the outcome because we probably won't be on earth anymore and it's a stupid bet because we won't know the outcome.

And betting on the election of the president or other councilors is very interesting indeed, because in my place elections for the president or other councilors are always a fun bet.

If we are not going to give consideration to the online gambling and casinos as preference is in this context, we can engage in physical gambling with some of our materials or items we had in possession, we could gamble with our valuables, assets, and any other physical things we have in possession that can be exchange for money or that has value to stand as stake for us to use while gambling, there many games we can as well play both local ones or online games as long as betting is involved.

Some of the lists isn't shockingand I've heard about them before. Also, I feel like some are sort of events that small group of people just organize bets on what will be the result of that contest or event. But I can't process the others. Like, how and when will they know if they win on that "Alien life" bets? Same goes with the end of the world. We've heard a lot of end of the world dates before that already passed by, yet we are is still here. The bettors might die first before this happen.

On the other hand, it's just sad to bet on other people's lives and when they'll die. I don't think it's entertaining at all. Like are you going to be glad when you win your bet even if it means a person died? I feel like the lists here are just for "experience" betting on random stuff but not really for long term entertainment purposes unlike sportsbetting.

You have an interesting list OP and I didn't know some of these forms of gambling exist since my best option is the popular sports bets. But I find some interesting, while I will not consider engaging in others.

I will never engage in presidential election betting because it can be easily manipulated. There is always massive fraud and electoral malpractice that impedes the free and fair conduct of presidential elections. Even the polls are sentimental and unreliable.

This type is like you are wishing someone death. How can one predict these deaths? Maybe you have to follow up on the medical history of these celebrities or constantly check any of them that has been hospitalized. I find this type of gambling unacceptable.

This one will be solely based on luck because you might not know much about the contestants. But this game will be funny and filled with excitement. But I will never bet on a couple that the wife is fat.

joking, I think it is more than clear that if aliens were to invade earth they would first choose to invade africa due to the weaknesses of africans in military terms and at the same time africans have a large number of people and also have a lot of resources natural, it would be ideal for aliens to take Africa and make their base to later occupy America and Europe, without a doubt that this would be the best option for aliens, let's be honest, someone here still thinks that aliens would waste time abducting these celebrities who are only doing stupid things in real life? what would aliens learn from celebrities?


In this part, although I have watched many movies, I don't know the names of the directors of all the movies I watch and I'm not very good at judging movies, for example for me all Vin Diesel movies, Van Dam, Rambo, Tom Cruise , jet lee, jakie chan, the rock and so many other actors are good films, but there are many people who say that only some of these actors' films are good, that's why I don't bet on that because the jurists have a totally different opinion and criteria


in this part I would only accept it if it were a prediction for the president of my country, being a country with a lot of corruption it is very easy to predict the winner


 

I definitely wouldn't do that


if I can see the guys who are going to compete, then I would bet. that's because it's pretty easy to see people who eat a lot and are fast



 

I wouldn't bet on it


being honest, I think all dictators only leave power when they die, unfortunately, so while the people of that country don't rebel, don't sacrifice themselves to free themselves from the dictatorship they live in, things won't change until the dictator dies, although even when the people rebelled, the end of the dictator would be death, unfortunately

This would be a ridiculous bet. I can't imagine who and who would want to go on betting on when this world would end when the life expectancy is not even 100 years on earth because you have to be alive to see the outcome of your bet, so it is just a fallacy.

However, the bet on election is quite interesting especially if it has to do with the powerful countries.

Most of the things you've mentioned are very funny and entertaining, it really shows that people could have fun while gambling and one of the best way to gamble safely is by seeing it as a form of entertainment even while you make money from it,  since gambling involves predictions the casino games and sports betting are not the only areas where people predict on, you forgot to include.
The Russian invasion it might seems crazy as well but there are individuals that's are willing to place a bet by making predictions on when the war would be over or if Russia would successfully invade Ukraine and have control of their territory again.
 Amongst all the you mention the one that cracked me up is placing a bet on Kim Jong-Un concerning when he'll step down from power, that's one tough bet because if he had his way he could remain in power forever, lol and I feel placing a bet on that is same as placing a bet on when he'll die, another one that would be very difficult to predict is the end of the world because no single human knows when the world would end, there are also other areas I know individuals could bet on like betting on who would be highest bidders or highest donators at auctions and charity donations, well I think placing a bet on which country would be attacked first by UFOs would be very interesting and since USA are currently world power they're likely to be attacked first.

Literally on anything that has possibility of different outcomes while the casinos and sports books have their limitations due to popularity and regulatory policies still  you can make your own with group of people who is willing to stake.

Betting on weather[1] - Yeah it is weird but it exists especially in UK at the Christmas period also there is a bookmaker called "Ladbrokes" provides odds for betting on weather events which makes it legal too so OP you can add this too in first post if you like it.

Well, if you browse on over to Freebitco.in .... then you can bet on the future value of Bitcoin. I think the volatility of Bitcoin is the ideal thing to bet on, because it is very unpredictable.

I personally do not like to bet on silly things like the Royal family and who the next Pope will be... but I love betting on Sports. I also avoid betting on virtual Sports, because I think it is rigged.

I didn't know there was quite a lot to gamble on outside of sports, even funnier they gamble on UFOs and Kim Jong-Un LOL. It seems that people are so bored that they are willing to use their money to gamble on things that are quite absurd above.
But the question is are they sure that they will still be alive to be able to see the end result of their gamble? like to gamble for UFOs? i think those who are betting on this stuff are pretty sure they will live a very long life LOL.

Lack of interest, because most of advantage player like (Sportbetting) / Casino Games (BJ) they betting while they have higher chance to win with their skill. All-of these are really depends on the luck, if you give the advice for advantage player they will never betting even regular user still have less chance they are gonna to bet on these. Because we don't know anything about these.

They're less addictive because you can't gamble on them every week or daily as when gambling on casinos. I don't trust awards shows to gamble on them because most of the awards are won by been the favorite among fans or the Judges of the awards, they're not merited.

Awards are also been bought so I can't bet on something that isn't fair, I prefer sport betting to other things you can bet on. With sport betting you know the games are fair and open to the best team, I know we have some fixed games but they're not in top Leagues.

Casino games are also fair more than the award shows, when betting on casinos, you're sure you're relying on how lucky you're and nobody can influence the outcome of your bet but with awards shows, the finest artist love by the girls is favorite to win and not on merit.
