I could imagine sportsbooks putting up odds for speedrun attempts because i've seen bookies create custom or special markets. I know speedrunning has been a thing, but I doubt it can grow enough to have its own category like the other esports titles because all of the speedrun events I see on Twitch are for charities.
If there's a seasonal event or league similar to what we see in some of the esports scene maybe it's possible, but for now, I have to doubt as I can't imagine bettors making money through this category.

We are not sure if Stake truly sponsored the game and we shouldn't jump to conclusions of the truth and pay all attention to Stake's possibility of developing and promoting such games on the Stake website and in House casinos, I think if ops can take the extra effort to verify if truly what the YouTuber said about stake sponsorship is true, and also provides us with a link to that event so that we all can have first-hand information about this game and how it is played speedruns is a kind of new term I gambling discussion and we need to build more information about the game from watching that video.
Ops please provide us a link to the video
Try also to contact and confirm if truly stake.com sponsored the game because that is the only way to validate this discussion and also make efforts to build our knowledge banks since stake will have a template of the games as sponsors.

it's interesting to see Stake creating a challenge for speed runners. I'm curious if you have a link to the speedrun stake challenge.

330.000 subscribers on his channel. In his favour regards the sponsorship there is only his word during the video and the description of the video. It could be that Stake is really sponsoring him, or it could be that he is just trying to gather some referrals this way through his referral Stake link.
The question here is:
Can we bet on the speedruns? Since Stake sponsoring the event Maybe they let us bet on the event. But is complex to beat those récords the odds of winning should be really low, so, in not sure if I would bet in that kind of events.

If there is enough demand for such events, then it is just matter of time before they start to appear and casinos start to sponsor speed-runners as well. It does not necessarily has to be about a single speed-runner trying to beat the world record on a certain game, by the way, stake, as a betting book could open markets for people who would be willing to bet on whether the speed runner would be able to qualify between the top 3 or the top 10 at the end of the run, those would have different odds than betting for the very big first place.
People could also have the chance to bet on whether he would under perform his last attempt or his average time.
There are infinity of possibilities to open new markets and attract new gamblers/bettors, it only takes the audience to grow and be willing to wager on the most prominent speed-runner out there.
The game I play is a web3 game and I'm trying to make token by speedrunning in dungeons. I liked and didn't expect that they made content for those who made the best game the fastest in Mortal Combat, maybe speedruns have already started to take shape like this. It's very important that Stake especially promotes it, maybe they'll make new content like this for other games.

It called my attention to what could be another popular concept of gambling in the future. What do you think? It's totally possible to bet on determined gamers in an attempt to predict if they can break such world records or not.
I feel like this could be easily manipulated, I mean, the players themselves can consciously make mistakes and pass it as unintentional to manipulate the end result of the speed run but on the other hand, as far as I know, speed runs can be quite hard to beat.

When I read this thread and the understanding I got.
this method of gaming is like the normal computer games and the PS4s challenge that we have with put friends for fun and no prize attached to it, mortal combat is one old game that many of us enjoyed while growing up, and some of us are good in that game to be able to finish ahead of time.
And since you said the challenge was sponsored by stake, that means we may be looking to have such competing in the future of the casino and other casinos will adopt such games if they see that it generates traffic to the site in the long run.
We have many traditionally old games, but if upgraded and implemented into casino games in the future, it will reawaken our love for those games since playing those games will remind us of old-time fans.

Yes this is a possible category that could come up in the feature but isn't this the same with a type of sports bet where you bet on the first team to score... something like the fastest goal. If this were in other types of casino games I don't know which it would fit in particularly. I think the reason why Stake sponsored him is because he is has a huge following. They do the same with other influencers on social media.
I just heard about this now, I never thought this could also be applied to gambling. It seems like anything is possible, right? Here we can see how trends in entertainment evolve where gaming engagement merges with those who love to gamble yet another interesting and unique fusion. I can see its potential because breaking records is indeed unpredictable. This twist is exciting and quite thrilling.
Coincidentally, yesterday I was scrolling through Youtube, when a live challenge appeared, where the youtuber was trying to break the world record in Mortal Kombat. If he managed doing so, the prize to be received was 1000 units of my local currency (about 164 dollars). He also mentioned the challenge was sponsored by Stake.
The price isn't that high. Maybe because not a lot of people are interested yet and participating but I am sure when more people gets ahold of this trend, the prices will just keep getting higher and higher. The higher the price, the more people will be inclined to do this and the records would be harder to beat with each participant setting higher records every time.Quote

Hm I am sure it will be hard to predict anything we know that the internet is a crazy place and people will do anything for the sake of money. It will probably be something stupid like finishing a game while camping or being stuck in a forest or something extreme. I mean I already have seen streamers go live in a dark room for straight couple of weeks just for his streamers
For gamers the term speedrun is well known. It consists in finishing a game from the beginning to the end in the fastest possible time interval. There are global rankings where gamers compete among themselves for the best positions.
