I guess a lot of people heard about these games from the article, but I didn't know that people actually bet on something like this. So I am interested if there is anyone here who bet on "not popular" sports/games, maybe some description, and where we can learn more about that game/sport.

The Wife carrying sports is hilarious but I do bet on unfamiliar market sometimes like the dog race on some sportbook. I just don’t bet consistently and just doing it for fun and curiosity for the result since I can’t watch the game live due to the broadcast restrictions.

I think many user here doesn’t bet regularly on this kind of sports since it’s not televised globally or it’s very hard to access the stream since this games is unique and not that widely available in most country.

I just want to add the Curling sports which I’m not aware that this is already an olympic sports. I frequently just watch it on fb reels but I never thought it’s already an olympics sports.

Weird Sports You Didn’t Know Existed, Available for Betting Fun

After reading this article it got me thinking how many games are out there that most of us haven't even heard of, but they do exist and some groups of people bet on those games. Here in Serbia, everyone bets on popular games, and the cock fighting (just one example) is not popular here, but in illegal circles there are some dog fights. Still, I wish to discuss just "legal games" with available markets in some casinos.

There is no point in betting on unpopular games because the smaller the market, the greater the likelihood of various kinds of insider/fraud, so bookmakers accept bets on such markets with very bad odds. It is better to bet on popular markets where the bookmaker's margin is 4-6 percent than on some exotic ones where it is closer to 8% or higher.
I don't understand the whole idea - if you like some exotic sports/entertainment, you don't necessarily have to bet on them.

Anything can be bet on; gamblers have unlimited imagination when it comes to betting. All the events listed in the article are popular in our country; we are also betting on rock, paper and scissors, wife-carrying and cheerleading.
Our fiestas offer many events on which people can bet. We are doing this for fun, and the organizers of the events think of sporting events in which people can participate and bet.
The most popular event that we hold is palosebo

Quote

PALO SEBO is one of traditional game in the Philippines, where CONTESTANTS try to climb the pole in turns to secure the prize, and anyone who fails to reach the top is disqualified!

from my own view, its more better for us to gamble on sports activities we are conversant with and that are trusted, this will help a lot because they are being made open to the public and not that we go for some kind of weird betting whereby we secretly bet on rare games which we cannot boast or come out in public to announce about what we do, gambling is for fun and betting is legality.

If I am not mistaken, cockfighting is one of the oldest activities on which bets began to be placed. In addition, bets on these fights are known throughout the world, with a predominance in the Southern countries. Thus, in ancient times, poor people entertained themselves by betting on one of the fighting cocks. In my opinion, these cocks were also equipped with steel spurs so that the fight would not be too long.

I do not approve of such entertainment, as it encourages cruelty.

Wife Carrying

Here is something we have seen people bet on over the Internet, as wife-carrying is a fairly established competitive activity (believe it or not) in Finland, Estonia, Australia, and Ireland. According to most, this sport in modern times got introduced in Finland in 1992, and it now has multiple disciplines, such as fireman’s carry, Estonian-style, and classic piggyback.

Of course, the objective here is for a male to carry a female to a finish line, usually passing various obstacles set in his way. The fastest course time wins on an official track length of 253.5 meters or 832 feet.

I have watched this once when i visited a relatives somewhere and yeah this is really a exciting and fun game.

Anyone could bet on any game or sport they like. I'm not surprised they have betting on that, but I didn't know that type of game really existed for betting. Well, that's interesting, but here's my question: has anyone already bet on that kind of sport/game? And is it available on our very own bookies here? I'm just curious, since it's already been shared, so might as well ask if anyone has experience betting on it.

I would never bet or gamble in a market that is clearly illegal without any form of warranty.
Moreover, I would never bet or gamble in a "small" market likewise a minor sport or minor series.
Since these players on these events are getting really low payment (most of the times they play like an hobby and not for economic return) it could be easy they can get tricked with rigged events and so on...
By the way for all of these sports in article posted by OP I haven't never seen nothing on main bookmakers (and sincerly I have really doubts there are markets for these "games"/sports).

This is an interesting thread, seeing the article that you posted. The wife's carrying is new to me, but the others are things I have encountered in some way. When I read this, I thought of things that make you do Anything and then turn it into a competitive thing. Then, you can form a possible market in the gambling space where people can also bet.

Thanks for sharing this OP.

I haven't heard about Wife Carrying and Underwater Hockey before in my life and I haven't seen these games in any casino, so I think it's almost impossible to bet on these games for most of us.
To be honest, I don't bet on unpopular games because it's impossible to predict the outcome when you have no idea about the game and its participants. I have made such bets in the past and won some games with 10 odds but I don't risk it anymore, maybe I'll bet only for fun here and there.

But a game like "Rock, Paper, Scissors" made me laugh out loud when I learned that it is also a gambling game for money.

A local online casino offers a p2p game where you make a game offer with a bet amount, then a person who wants to connect with you, clicks play on your offer and you two are connected p2p. You and your opponent have some seconds to choose Rock, Paper or Scissors, then the result appears and the winner gets the point.
I think it will be good if many crypto casinos implement such p2p games where users try their luck against each-other.

It's just that some key sports have gained relevance over small sports that are just coming into the limelight of not, there are a lot of sports that are out thier that people in different localities are conversant with and that are not even on most official betting platforms. The slipping sports that's has made wave accross different media platforms aren't on most betting site and yet one popular sports that most people enjoy watching. Even the one where you're to carry a lady from a spot to another has gained recognition accross different region and is now one of the regular event that takes place during weeding in my region where the man is told to carry his wife from a spot to another. Some of these sports aren't necessarily going to be something you will have to bet your money on and might just be for the fun that comes with it but it's good to also experience multiple of sports so as to get to see different levels of fun in different context.

That's actually true, after so many conversations in this forum about gambling I discovered some type of gambling I never thought of as gambling. like the cock fight you have mentioned and also the dog fight. I have noticed the bull and ram fight and some other form of traditional gambling use only in the rural areas. One thing I observed is that the only gambling popular are the online casinos which football betting is most popular and easy to predict compeard to other traditional gambling. That is why people don't mostly focus on them. If those traditional games can be studied very well like football, and added to online casinos, they will have been popular and used as an alternative or second option aside football.

There is a hot dog eating competition betting that I have read off and it's crazy that people would bet on anything.

This is the essence of human mind which could bet on anything it couldn't comprehend in full. I think such behavior is just the try to make the amends to itself for the lack of knowledge on events the mind is betting on otherwise it could be counterproductive just to observe, let's say the notional the hot-dog-eating competition.

I know cheerleading but I didn't know betting is available for that one. I might check that one if ever there is a big cheerleading tournament that will happen.
Quidditch? Now that's really weird. I thought it was only from the books of Harry Potter and it cannot be done as a real sport but I guess they found a way to make it come to life. Still, I have never seen a betting line for that game.
I understand there's a slot game like Rock, Paper, and Scissors but if it's a tournament then that's more awesome. The wife-carrying game on the other hand seems to be a local game so it's more prone to fix match and I don't want to be betting on the other side if ever I see a betting line open.

Nice share OP, thank you.

If it's being played, someone is betting on it somewhere. That is true for nearly everything, even little things such as the color of gatorade poured on the coach after the win. People, whether it be bookies or regular people, see an opportunity to make a dollar, then they will try to make a market for it.

Watch some of the famous poker players on some of the televised cash games and listen to some of the silly things they have bet on. There was 1 guy that got breast implants and had to keep them for a year, another guy who lived in a bathroom for a month while people still used the bathroom, and all sorts of crazy stuff.

Everything that strives depends on how much publicity is made about it, or how much time has been spent to improvise for a fair and unique gambling experience etc.. "I scrolled through my feed profusely as I lost a glimpse of a video that caught my interest, then I stumbled on a video -- THE SLAP game.. they called it POWER SLAP or something. I laughed so hard like I hadn't for quite a long time."

Most of those games don't really have complex rules as compared to regular casino games. Bookies are only tryna keep them in place for as long as people find interest in them. In all, I find it more relaxing if I play on spot games.

What is certain is that gambler will never bet on game or sport that they have never known before, if they do bet it may only be out of curiosity and only do it once or twice.
Every gambler has their own favorite game or bet and of course they will always prioritize it, playing and betting on new things also often experience more failures.
I sure only few gamblers play and bet there.
Moreover, for things like that, there may only be many on local gambling sites, for large gambling sites with global use, they will definitely only provide games or bets that are already popular.

Based on what I have seen some legal games like cock fighting had their own platform for betting, I saw both online betting and physical betting.

Cockfighting is one of the sports that i want to see flourished in the online world. It begun to blossom in the Philippines but sadly it had to stop because of the negative impact it had on the community but business-wise, tons of money goes to the operator of this business. If only i'm a wizard that can create a platform for cockfighting then i could be a millionaire already Cool

Teqball, last year I saw there is a market for this kind of sport and it looked unique because it's like playing ping pong but with feet and a soccer ball.

And another one is Curling, which makes me confused, why this type of game can be considered as a sport. And the market for Curling is already available in many sportsbooks.

As for cockfighting then it is really that something that popular here in our country.

OkBet
SabongVIP
OnlineSabongLive

We do have several sites mentioned above on where you could be able to take up some bets but of course it would really be something that be interesting specially into local.
Its not really something that popular in other countries but rather this one considered to be that animal cruelty. As for those dog fights then i do able to hear of those things on which
this is really indeed existing on illegal places on which this one cant really be possibly be legalized.

Just like on what others been saying that human beings does really have that capability on making up those things to be sports as long they could be able to put
up some bets into it. Some of those games or gambling is really that been part of their cultural specially this "SABONG" or cockfight in the Philippines on which this is something
very popular and its been long time that been part of the culture on having something like this.
