When I read this thread, my mind automatically recall this site https://futuur.com/ because it's their niche, but I'm not affiliated with this site and not really sure about their credibility.
I'm just interested to talk about celebrity death and Kim Jong Un, it's legal for the site to include this kind bet? I think they would get sued by the celebrity or government because it's something like death threat.

Alot of them here on this list I had no idea that they could be utilitized for gambling. I have heard of some crazy ones like the sex sport, betting on who's going to win the presidential election etc but for some they really are crazy, take "celebrity death for example" how the heck are they supposed to know the celebrity that's going to die next? It doesn't sound rational to me though others might be of a different opinion but I just stated mine while some of them are just place there and it's almost certain that no one is going to win the prize take UFO as an example.
If you continue in this rabbithole you'll discover so many strange things that bets are being made on, this ones are just like the tip of the iceberg.

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?
Let me interrupt your reading at this point to tell you that I will be providing a list of some other things to bet on, which I have found on the internet. I will add the sources. Please note that I am not in any way affiliated with them, neither am I promoting any website. I do not own any of them. Now we have gotten that out of the way. Let's get back to the article.
Here are some other things you can bet on, aside from sports and casino games:
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.
2 - Famous Award shows like the Oscars: You can bet on the different categories of awards like Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Picture, etc.
3 - Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake: There is a cheese-rolling competition that takes place at Spring Bank Holiday near England’s Gloucester. You bet on the person who would be able to catch the cheese that is rolled down a hill.
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.
5 - Celebrity deaths: There are websites that offer celebrity death pools. So you have to place your bet on a celebrity you think may die, when they will die, and how. Do you think people may have placed a bet on Jamie Foxx?
6 - World Wife-Carrying Championship: Yes, this is an annual championship that takes place in Sonkajärvi, Finland. You bet on the husband that can carry his wife across the length of two-to-three football fields as fast as possible.
7 - The Royal Family: This is another legit bet you can place on the royal family, especially if you are inclined to keeping up with them and the latest. Basically, everything about them is up for gambling.
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.
9 - Bog snorkeling: This is a competition that holds in the United Kingdom and requires individuals to snorkel through a large stretch of muddy peat bog in the shortest time possible. There are many possible outcomes that gamblers can bet on. They include - Who the winner or loser would be, and in addition, the time it would take to win.
10 - Economic and Financial Events: There are online betting sites where one can make predictions on the economic futures and financial events in a country or business in a particular period. You could bet on the stock market and cryptocurrency market crashing, the percentage of unemployment rates, etc.
11 - The Pope: You can make your bets on who the next Pope would be and the Papal Name. There are online betting websites where you can do this.
12 - Social Media Events: You can make bets on social media events. From what I have seen, some bets may include: "Will Facebook become a Government Utility?" and "TikTok Spy Indictment Props" by the end of the year.
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.
14 - Kim Jong-Un: Just like the Pope, the type of bets people place on him are: When he will stop being in a position of power, how he will stop being in power, etc.
What others do you know of?
I want to believe that the list is inexhaustive, but I will stop here for now. I have also provided the references below if you are interested to read them exhaustively.
