Topic: Weird sports we didn’t know existed, available for betting - page 3. (Read 897 times)

You would really be able to see those changes yet we are living on a hi-tech or digital era on where things could really be possible to be offered online, payments or betting could really be done digital then it would really be that likely that they will really be making such option and thats why it would really be that possible that any one on the world or globe could be able to make up some bets but of course there would really be specific terms and conditions on which they could really be able to follow if someone would really be wanting to make bets specially on locally focused type of sports such as this. There would really be those weird type of things on which someone couldnt be able to see into those typical sports betting that we do really know. There are things that exist that we arent expecting that it could really be that possible.

When it comes to animal based or involved kind of sports such as mentioned on OP then majority will really be that skeptical on trying out to deal up with things just because they dont really like
about animals that are getting involved when it comes to this.So it would really be that varying on how you would really be handling out yourself on choosing on which betting
you would really be liking and on how you would really be that deciding to choose up.

I think that most of us bet on the most popular sports, but to be more specific, most of us bet on the sports that we Know the most about. There are sports like Swimming , athletics and cycling that are very good sports, very hard, but in reality they don't have betting opportunities, it's very difficult for them to establish them, but also in the forum I have realized that at least there are many who follow cycling, in some way they may be practicing it or are Passionate about it, but I think that the casinos don't have them because it's not profitable to put them on.

I just finished reading the article and I'm surprised that those sports could actually be betted on, normally individuals could bet offline in the arenas where those sports are held, but it's lovely to see that there's a platform where people could bet on those sports, one of the most interesting one that's caught my attention, is the Rock, Paper, Scissors, it's one of those sports games that made my childhood fun. In the article they questioned if it's more of a game of chance or skill, I think it's mostly a game of chance but then there's this skill I use in confusing my opponent which is looking directly into their eyes and smile in a way that would make them lose focus so skill is needed too. As for Quidditch am familiar with the game cause I've seen the Harry Potter movie but then I'm wondering how it's been played and betted on cause I know the players in the movie used magic to play the game, just curious you know and that's something I'll do my findings on.

I had the inkling feeling that it was what I thought it was (which is dried-up cow dung), I just wanted to be sure so I did a quick search just to be sure, I still find it funny that they found a sport for it 😂

weirdly enough I never found arm wrestling as a weird sport to bet on.

Many people might see this weird sports as opportunities to make money in gambling but I see it as a way the bookmakers take your money without stress. As simple as you think these games are they might actually be the hardest to predict, I even heard that a bet site added a food eating competition to their options to bet on,very funny. Personally I wouldn't even try to put my money there cause I'm not really familiar with them, I'm okay with betting on football, basketball and occasionally ice hockey

I think people are only calling them weird sports because they do not know about the sports or are not betting on them but for those that patronized the sports, they would not find them wired. Watching the Olympics, I have noted many new sports that I did not know about and have not gambled on them. I will be doing more research on the sports and should be betting on them when the next Olympics comes around. This should mean there are many other sports too that we do not know about but we should not called them weird. I just discovered that there is a sport that involved people slapping eachother and you can bet on them too but for people who do not know about this sport, they will called it weird when they see people betting on it. People can make money in any sport they like.

The article mentioned by the OP features a few casinos, such as Stake, BC Game, and a few others; perhaps these casinos offer them? Who knows? Anyway, it's the first time I'm encountering such a thing. I wasn't aware that such "sports" existed, let alone that you can bet on them. I've never come across them anywhere I've played, but to be honest, I wouldn't have noticed even if they were a thing. Perhaps they're a fun way to mess around with a few spare dollars; I'm not sure if I'd do it.

Gambling is not easy and there is no escape route unless we are deceiving ourselves, it will get worse looking for extra games, especially if we are not familiar with them. We have thousands of games to choose from already, they may be popular or relatively popular, it doesn't matter, for me, they are enough to give us the winning we desire, or stress/frustration of their own as the case may be. This is because they will always rely on luck to win. So if I should advise you, I would only say that you should be contented with those you already know and not further look for gambling troubles.

Per country and culture, there are a lot of weird activities going on which include gambling and as you call some animal fighting games illegal in some countries, it is legal in many other countries. In mine, there is enough cock/bull/ram fighting where people will gather in an informal setting to place their bet. It is always fun but no one can know the winner, it's all about luck, so what's the difference?

The same goes for a particular game called "ayo olopon" in my country, one may bet on either side playing, but still, no one would know the winner, that's how tough gambling is.

If someone are not betting on those games that are not popular it shows that they don't know about them even though they knows it means they aren't fan of it and could be hard for them to bet it. Using that example you made mentioned I will say it's not popular either in my country rather people loves betting on regular games such as sports betting which includes; soccer, Tennis, Baseball, basketball, hockey game and so many on. Like I does, most times I am trying to learn different games so I can pick up interest to start betting on them but what matters is time factors since I barely have free moment to do everything I wanted to run on within and before my 24hrs runs out.

There're only about six popular sports games that are mostly prioritized by gamblers in my country, and the most popular one is soccer. Although I know that there are some dedicated gamblers who can actually bet on any form of activity, they are aware that they can make a profit if the bet is successful. For example, there's someone I know who placed a bet on their friend. The bettor was in doubt that his friend could not finish twelve bottles of beer, so he decided to place a huge bet and was surprised that the guy finished it all and won the money. People can really do wired things for the sake of betting, but there are some of those wired games that cannot be added to casinos.

Not everyone know about this games and not all bookies have them available in their game options. The truth is not everyone will be familiar with most of them these unpopular games and only few people place bet on them. People place bet on the games they are well familiar with and I also belong to this category.  The bookies are also interested to provide what people are seeking for so they would generate a good income. And yes, some reputable bookies offer some of these unpopular games but some other bookies offer limited games based on what their customers are after.

What, you thought those were potato chips for cows? 
Oh, and coming from a guy who spent decades at a farm, those are dried just as the ones used for fuel were, they don't smell or anything.


It's been banned in a ton of countries and hopefully, soon in every single one of them, it's the most pointless game of all, this and bullfighting need to end, if anyone says anything about tradition then we should also ring back gladiator games too.

Weird sports we didn’t know existed, available for betting haha to be honest after i read  in other thread that there is gambling about an artist and politics it just make me think can anything use as a gamble nowadays haha.

And after read the article rock paper scissors can act as game but Competitive Cheerleading and Quidditch i dont know this even exist hahaha

such games will be suitable for a break when starting to get tired in other games that may be quite demanding of focus. unpopular sports games have few enthusiasts to be seen in terms of profitable bets. except for sports that are indeed popular in certain areas and online casinos are indeed from those areas. a strategy to get their local gamblers.

Strange sports... But I'm sure it won't be available in many casinos because it's not a sport most people are familiar with.

Rock Paper Scissors is a childhood game, but don't think it can be bet on, and how to judge this bet.

Carrying the wife? This is a little difficult for me to understand... maybe for sports or races there is something to bet on that is a little more difficult to figure out.

Perhaps such games will be interesting to those who consider gambling entertainment without any speculation about unfairness. I think that there are no expensive bets involved, and it is unlikely that anyone will play them regularly. A simple test of luck and at the same time a fun pastime. After all, the moment of competition is always interesting when winning is motivated by profit.

People just need a reason to gamble, that is all. So they take up every game they can think or or have been thought of and put money on it. This is because the need to gamble is inherent in humans and risk taking provides a good stimulation to anyone's brain.

Most of us have seen these games in action but it is not difficult to comprehend that they are sources for gambling too.

When you can bet behind the table on full blackjack tables, there is no surprise here.

But why do you need to announce to the publice what you are doing especially gambling achievements? Even with regular bets I never announced anything about it in the public because there’s nothing to gain.

There’s nothing wrong on betting with exotic games given that you will enjoy it. All this games are unique and fun to watch while adding some bet on it will spice your watch mood.

Imo, it’s only wrong to bet on it if you are just betting randomly without any reference for your bets. Same application to any type of bets even with normal sports.

This is no novelty I think, as I agree with coin-investor:


Gambling has been with mankind since its inception as a form of exciting pastime if you have a chance to win or lose something. It is not uncommon in the internet age to find more variety. There are even types of local gambling that we do not know about but are popular in remote villages and regions.

Maybe we here often see articles writing strange bets that we have never seen around us, @Joe has attracted the attention of the community here by writing interesting articles, but I can't imagine what it would be like if the Quidditch game in the Harry Potter films were played in the real world, whether anyone in this world could control a flying broomstick, I don't know.

But of the several types of games that I saw in the article written by @Joe, only one game that I have seen is: (holding the wife) which is done when commemorating my country's independence day, In fact, the most exciting part of the game is taking/carrying someone's wife wrongly, because the player's eyes are closed, which is great.

Indeed, the insight into sports games is diverse, I admit that Asia has hundreds of types of games that are unique and no less exciting than the various games, essentially they are all for entertainment, We hope that in the future we will see unique games added to gambling sites.
