Topic: What is the Strangest Bet You Have Ever Had? - page 2. (Read 585 times)

this is funny because i have to bet in the past in Rat game in which a rat will be released and in what box number he will enter? then that is the winning one.

never that I bet in this again because for me this is an abused to the said animal because there are lots of gambling way and not to use them for fun.
though i am not condemning Horse racing because for me ? it is their purpose in life to race and to give people entertainment .

At least when it comes to the bets I have personally made my strangest bet has to be when I made a bet Trump will win the 2016 election, do not misunderstand me, I am not really into politics as politicians will say anything to get your vote and do whatever they want at the end.

However when I saw the odds given to Trump during that election I could not help but to think the odds were wrong and he had higher chances to win than that, so I took my chances and made a bet that he would win, however that was not the only reason I made that bet, as we know Trump can be a polarizing figure so many people around me were mad at him and I made the bet just to piss those people off, and once he won I suppose you can imagine how mad they were not only that Trump won, but that someone they knew actually made money because of it.

Here in Brazil there is a very popular television program called "Big Brother Brasil", it is a reality show that shows several people confined in a house, and every week one of them is eliminated.
I honestly don't even watch the show, but I know a lot of people who bet on certain people leaving or staying every week.

I've never made a very bizarre bet, I think the most "out of the ordinary" bet was for an Oscar winner (I lost) or for the next president of the United States (I also lost ).

You guys had opportunity to drink alcohol while in school?,
That's crazy I guess, I attended a boarding college where we were free to eat and drink what ever we liked, but were never allowed to take alcoholic beverages or contents.
And there was a boundary between males dormitory and females dormitory, and on no account should any of this sex's be found on opposite sex's dormitory.

As males, we enjoyed alot of games and betting and stuffs, but was never really as fun as it should be without the female counterpart, you guys were pretty on the loose  .

The strange bet that supposes to be fun, gets to my turn it became an unforgettable experience that I can't forget in a hurry. I was supposed to drink all of Don Simeon's wine and win $20. Yet the requirement was that I remain standing without sitting for roughly an hour.

I accepted the bet to consume all of the Don Simeon wine. Within 10 minutes of completing the wine, I had defecated all over myself and dozed off for days without remembering to eat or take a bath.

Every time I think back on what transpired that day, I remind myself not to participate in or attempt a crazy bet with anyone, regardless of how amusing it may seem.

I consider this as one of the strangest bets I have ever made even though there's no money involved really.

So back in 2015, I was very big on League of Legends, and so are my friends. Just so we can party up as a team and play together with good comms (Voice communications wasn't available in LoL at the time), We'd rent a couple PCs in Gaming Cafes and play to our hearts content. So here's where my strange bet came in. I had a female friend who's included in that LoL group who's pretty good at the game and a gay friend that's just starting to learn the ropes. After going out for some food, we decided to play league at the usual place. For some unknown reason the gay friend and I decided we'd bet on if the female friend will play with us on the gaming cafe or if she's going to stay home and play on her laptop. We went back and forth at it, I made a bet that she'd play with us, the gay friend bet on the other option. Oh by the way, loser has to voluntarily die 5 times against their lane opponent effectively throwing the game on their lane.

By some stroke of "I'm going to mess with this particular guy" the female friend said she's going to stay at home, and so I thought I lost. I even went so far as to keep my word and willingly submit to my opponent in 5 deaths.

She played with us on the gaming cafe , so basically I literally just shot myself on the foot. Didn't even struck me that she played with us until after the game was over.

So yeah, that's how my strangest bet went.

As for me, my strange bet is when I bet with my friends that anyone that can hold breath in side swimming pool water for  3 minutes where all of us drop $20 each and we are 5 in number, which make everything $100 which we
promise to  give the final winner, but nobody was able to hold the breath for 3 minute in side water till we reduce it to 90 seconds before we latter get the winner but I was not the winner.and my second strange bet is when me and  elder brother bet that who to win ludo game three time continuously, where we bet $60 each but surprisingly I won my elder brother.

I think I have placed bet on all kind of strange stuff and by strange I mean stuffs like racing between me and wife but we kinda do it for fun though, I just challenge her on a quick race staking a small amount of cash to the race of $30 to the actual winner of the bet, sometimes we also gamble on who is actually the best cook and my children actually act as the judge to the bet to give the decision to who is the winner and actually the greater cook but all this we just do for fun.

To be honest, I didn't find the essence of the gamble you mentioned in this thread. before I want to say, that I would not say it is the strangest gamble. but for me personally, I did not find the essence of the bet. I mean, the fun I'll get from the election betting session, Oscar winner, Miss Universe.

In my country there are also local casinos that make betting as we mentioned in this thread. maybe, most people like gambling like that. So, there's nothing wrong if someone likes it and it doesn't mean they are gambling addicts. related to personality, maybe you can think like that, but gambling is your own choice, if you like it then you can bet with it if not then you can look for other options.
IMO, actually the essence of the OP's thread, more of a weird bet towards traditional gambling, it's just that the OP is lifting from a thread that seems very unfamiliar to him. yes, at least, I caught the OP's thinking like that.

I think it has little to do with betting since it was a competition in the first place. And secondly, betting implies that everything is decided by luck, that is, each player has a chance, and this is where the fun lies. Competing in skill is fun too, but making an absurd bet (such as that one of several pigeons will fly first) and waiting for a result you can't influence is also fun.

Personally it was betting on the most recent presidential election in the US for Biden and it was a little strange to see the bet settle so late after what should have been a clear outcome. Think the gambling company paid out after a few days but the bet sat in my account for another few months while all the legal wrangling was taking place through the courts. I even remember there were some pretty crazy odds against Trump winning his first presidential election campaign that would have paid off nicely if people took the chance on him at the time. Now though he is too tarnished, bitter and is unlikely ever to make it back successfully into that position again.

Yeah, it's true that I don't have too much confidence when it comes to public speaking but I have had some development and I'm no longer that naive when I'm around people and joining discussions here also helped mist especially when it comes to sharing ideas with others that are of higher intellect. Indeed bitcointalk has been a big help in my life both socially and mentally. 

I think the three that you mentioned there which are; Election, Oscars, and Movie Character betting are still considered to be normal. There is also miss universe. I don't consider them as strange bets at all. Do you know the gambling site called Futurr? Not sure if I spelled it correctly but this gambling site is the ones that offer strange bets and not only limited to those events we talked about earlier.

Indeed, betting on these things doesn't mean that we are now a certified gambling addict but we only find them interesting. It also has to do with our personality. We are the type who like to venture on newer things and we can get easily bored on the existing ones that we are doing.

If you are a type of person who does have lots of friends and this would usually be happening on your elementary or high school days on which these kind of bets could really be made out on point basing up on moods
in between you and your friends.Same as yours on which i do have lots of experience about these odd way of betting on things and thats why i cant remember on which one would be the strangest.
Usually this would really be talking about those common actions if ever you and your friends would really be seeing something along the way. I cant point out which one
but for sure i do have those youthful days to be an enjoying one.

During our high school and college years, we all love to make bets with our friends, and it can be done almost several times a day. It's hard to remember what I did the craziest thing for money, but I think I climbed up the third floor of the women's dormitory down the drainpipe. We were a little drunk at the time, but I won a case of beer. I'll remember that bet for the rest of my life.   

These days I can’t say I’m making many strange bets. As a kid, we’d bet on anything we could think of prior to learning about actual betting games like cards and dice. One bet I can remember making as a youngster was who was going to have the most home runs on our little league all star team. There were plenty of bets to eat things and do embarrassing tasks as well though.

I realized that I had a lot of silly and strange bets when I was younger. One of those bets is when I and my husband were watching a movie series and since the ending was unpredictable, we decided to bet whether it was going to be a happy ending or not. The loser would treat the one with the winning bet. Unfortunately, my husband won and I had to treat him to lunch out the next day. There were times that we are doing gambling unnoticeable but it's honestly fun especially if we are doing it just for fun as well. Gambling could exist anytime and anywhere we want.

It wasn't a 'formal' betting game but I once bet between a friend being pregnant or not. It was an agreement or betting game between my colleagues and I, since one of us was getting married that time. So in a sudden one brought the idea of a reason why they are in a hurry and this was one of the option. It is I think strange because that is really something to not argue about but the person of interest is down to it. I luckily won by the way, along with the two friends who voted yes. But with official betting game such as with bets among other gamblers, best one so far is the presidential candidate in U.S. First thing here is I'm not from that country. Second is, it is a serious matter because the fate of a country relies on the result.

You should think many times before made your bet on spider fight.Because it’s huge risky one,we can’t ensure the predicted results in spider fight game.This happens in my country too,because being a gambler we are interested in gambling in any form of game.This type of gambling was happen using many animals,my senior use the trained cockerel.Because my senior had an habit of grow the cockerel from the young stage.The buy only the ethnic cockerel and not the normal cock.Because it won’t give desired results on the gambling based fights.So the cock was mostly prepared animal in the gambling as compared to the spider.Because we can control cock from his younger stage,this one is difficult in the spider fight.

Back in college or about six (6) years ago, me and my friends hanged out a lot in campus. Most of the time, we would just walk around and do some crazy things just to kill some time. Then, this idea was created where any one of us would shout "sex" or "dick" inside campus elevators with random strangers inside. The person who shouts it must be repeated by us with even a louder voice- the loser would have to treat us something.

Going on, I betted my friend that he should shout "I'm gay" while inside class for around $10. To my disbelief, he actually did it and the prof just continued lecturing while the class laughed about it. I guess that is one bet that I would say is the strangest bet that I have ever made... and it was worth it!
