13 - The End of the World: As crazy as it may sound, there is an online betting site for this. People predict when the world would end. Don't know if they will be around for the prize money if they eventually win.

It is on a par with going to a fortune teller for past lives.

Is this some kind of a joke Grin

... <...>

I also found that to be odd, I mean I understand that people will bet on almost every single thing they could bet, however who can bet on that? Even if they are right they will never get their payment, not mentioning this is probably the last thing they would be able to worry about.

<...>

I looked and saw that this type of bet is mentioned in the following link:

https://betzillion.com/blog/weird-things-to-bet-on/

It just doesn't specify more. The last straw would be for you to bet that the world will end, not that we will survive. Then, if you win the bet, what do you do with the money? LMAO. It would make more sense to bet that it won't end on a certain date, so if it doesn't run out you can enjoy the money you win, but the other way around?

We love our gambling for several reasons. Some of us do it for fun and entertainment, some do it for the money, and some do it for both the money and entertainment. Outside of sports betting and online casino games, did you know that there are other things you can bet on?

... Just couldn't hold it but burst into laughter reading this very one cause on a very serious note it does really sound weird. I can literally gambling about anything but not gambling on something I won't be alive to get my winning prize. For what's the essence of making the bet?

Come to think of it even if the world doesn't end lets say next 200 years would they still be alive by then to follow up their bet or is tt that people don't know what to bet on anymore or am I the only one thinking that such bettors needs an urgent mental attention.

I also found that to be odd, I mean I understand that people will bet on almost every single thing they could bet, however who can bet on that? Even if they are right they will never get their payment, not mentioning this is probably the last thing they would be able to worry about.

Still I find the list of the OP interesting, probably the only one I did not knew about were the bets related to financial events, which I also find odd, as if you are going to make a bet on that you might as well just invest on the markets and be done with it.

Aside from those, I remember there was a site where you could bet on the weather and most of those unusual markets remind me of Betmoose. They're one of the few sites where you can create a specific market but they still need bettors to bet against them since it's p2p and not like the traditional sportsbook.

Because of this thread, I remember way back during the peak of a pandemic that even the number of pandemic cases is being put on bet.

Anyhow, I really don't find other events as worthy to bet not unless there's a challenge like P2P betting or something along those lines.

I remember seeing this as well it might be from Fairlay or another betting exchange. They have an over/under market for the total number of deaths after a specific year.

Everything is something you can bet on, but others are informal, like you can't bet on a casino as you are just betting against your friend, let's saylocal elections, which only in your place are having to decide who will be the next leader. Everything you can think of can be bet on as long as someone or something can go first, and you also have someone that is against your bet. People are really creative when it comes to betting, and sometimes they play crazy betting games.

I'm echoing Jawhead999. Futuur immediately comes to mind. I guess the platform offers the broadest possible options on what you can bet on. You can bet on almost everything. Odds on politics and entertainment may be few but they're still offered by certain platforms. But betting on whether robot guide dogs will be cheaper than organic guide dogs, for example, or whether the Brazilian dengue fever vaccine will be approved by the end of 2024 is something you can probably do only on Futuur.

I'm not in any way affiliated with the platform.

Anything can be bet on by gamblers are very imaginative they can bet on something that will have results in an instant and they can bet on something whose results can be seen in hours, days, weeks, or even years we can have 1000 lists and everything will be unique because we can bet on almost anything in fact we subconsciously do this in our daily communication, like when you want to challenge one person about something and you end up saying I bet it ca happen or I bet I can do it, so anything that's about guessing can be listed as something to bet.
I guess we are born to be challenged and to take risks, and that sums up gambling.

Yes, it's possible to bet on any random event in our daily life. You can bet what the colour of the next car crossing the street is going to be, what time your wife is going to reach home today, what is the next ad going to be displayed on your television or on your videos' app... There are so many variables on this matter and if the person doesn't pay attention, he can find himself consumed by those useless bets all day long, totally ocupying his thoughts and keeping him away from another activities (including the mental ones) which are very important for his equilibrium, health and development of routine.

I guess many of you have heard and seen about spiders game. Yeah, an actual spider match and that's where it had became a thing for some locals.

It may be cruel for the other advocates but that's really happening in some parts of the world. But I don't think that there will be a bookie that will put that up.

So, these crazy bets are likely good only for P2P betting.

Those are some fun ways to bet, especially the ones that involve UFOs Grin

I have bet in the past in the presidential elections, and it was awesome to win an x5 with Donald Trump, and the fun side about that bet was how my close friends and family called me crazy for betting on Trump to win, in that time no one believes that trump could win those elections, but the media was making so much hype, that's why I decide to bet on him and in the end it was a wise move.

By the way, it would be nice to know the casinos to bet on those crazy options.

Some of these are just waste of time IMO. I don't think people are really going out of their way to bet on these events in hopes of making money. Some people do, but only for the heck of it and not in the purpose of making money. I would rather bet it on something that has the possibility to make me money rather than bet on something because I'm curious and I just want to get involved in the fuzz that everyone is getting on about.

I get what you're trying to say and I would agree with it but at the same time I say not every gamble session you make should be "ohh because I want to make more money hurr durr" yeah? These things exist not only because people are stupid and would bet on anything for the hell of it, but also because it actually brings the entertainment side of gambling to the table which is often outshined by the profit part, being one of the biggest reasons why people see gambling as a money-making machine instead of a form of entertainment which in essence is that. So while I believe it's to each his own when it comes to gambling, I say these things are cool too cause there's people who bet on it for one, and they indirectly promote the entertainment side of gambling.

I think some of the events are already common but the interest is not there due to the fact that some of those are not really interested in the first place. I don't think there's even a need a special thread about this as for me, that was basically a nonsense to discuss further.

Because of this thread, I remember way back during the peak of a pandemic that even the number of pandemic cases is being put on bet.

Anyhow, I really don't find other events as worthy to bet not unless there's a challenge like P2P betting or something along those lines.

Huh, I'm rather curious about the end of the world bet one. Wonder if people actually bet on it and how legit is it lmao. And doesn't it make a guaranteed win for the house if the year passes without the world ending or something like that?

On another note, a lot of things can be bet really, OP's list is more of the ridiculous ones (not in a bad way, well maybe except celebrity deaths, now that's just fucked up). I mean, there's usually the presidential elections (or any type depending on your community), Ms Universe and any other types of contest-esque events, usually big scaled ones.

If I'm being honest that's way too dark and kind of fucked up too cause you're basically profiteering the end of everything. And how do you even go about taking your wins lol is it like situational where if things get messed up and we live in a post-apocalyptic world like Fallout you get bottlecaps instead of dollars or something? Lmao that is too intense and stupid too in my opinion. As for celebrity and personality deaths while I know it's fucked up is kind of rampant actually. We had people betting on what year Queen Elizabeth's going to die, in the Philippines they did the same with an old senator who did some deranged shit too like getting his own self ambushed just so the government can issue Martial Law, among others.

Most people don’t know about the things which you just listed, so it will be very difficult to gamble on them, if you do that you will just be wasting money maybe that’s why people don’t really gamble on them, maybe some people don’t really know you can even gamble on events like this, and they don’t know where to gamble on it, but just few people knows about events like this because I can only say I know about one event alone among the once which you just listed.

4 - Presidential Elections: There is already a thread here for betting on who is most likely to become America's next president. I guess other countries would have a version of this too.

Have been seeing about US presidential election here on the forum, and their was a time when my country election was really close, I saw some local gambling site in my country where you can bet on any preferred candidate to win the election, actually I didn’t gamble on it because I knew my candidate wasn’t going to win the election. Since events like this those not happen frequently, so most people don’t even know about it, before you can’t gamble on presidential election again in my country till in the next 4 years.

1 - Alien life and UFOs : Some of the bets you can place on this could be: Which country will be attacked first or which celebrity will be abducted by an alien.

Regarding the first bet you mentioned, what if it never happens and you pass away? It doesn't make any sense to bet on something that can't happen during your lifetime. I mean a few of those bets might actually occur but to be honest, I've never tried placing a bet on them before. Maybe one day, if I come across something interesting to bet on I'll give it a try but it will definitely be just for fun

Ah yes, Gag betting. My favorite kind of gambling. Lol there's no end to what you can bet on if you put your mind on it. Anything with a probabilistic nature can easily pass off as something you can place a bet on. Saw someone place bets on who's going to be the next president, if this senator's going to be impeached, I even saw people betting on when people will die (although this is a bit morbid and is carefully reserved by some to people that are either too old already or just genuine asshats that deserve it). Used to make bets with friends where we would bet on who's going to win more in our gambling sessions which is actually one of the reasons why I got introduced into the gambling world in the first place.

I love gambling very much, but as you have mentioned, I cannot bet on it. I don't think it will be even more fun than the other one we always do, like the one you mentioned. celebrity death: who knows when the celebrity death will come that I will go bet on? No, I cannot, and the other presidential election People were doing this even when my country's election was about to start, but it didn't entertain me like my normal gambling either.

8 - Competitive eating competition: For example, during the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, you can place your bet on who would eat the most number of hot dogs and also if someone would or not throw up.

When we sit in the street and watch guys compete in eating challenges, people around me always do this one. This one is one I see practically daily and I like it, but not all that much.

Football, or let me say, someone's favorite sport, is the only game that can make a gambler happy because you know what you are about to bet on and you are completely confident whether you win or lose. Football also won't fight with anyone, but all the other games you mentioned can. It can be quite hurtful when someone stakes and doesn't win because people will start mocking them and it painful sometimes.

Take a look at my merits, It's lucky number

From some of the lists that you have provided, I'm not at all interested in trying these types of bets. As you said, there are 2 types of purposes in gambling, entertainment, money or both of them. Just imagine, how can we as gamblers be entertained by this type of betting on someone's death? or get money from someone's death? Undecided

But thanks for providing this information,TBH, this is the first time I've heard of another type of normal bet.
