I personally think that it's just too prone to manipulation to be a feasible bet for more sophisticated bettors. There will also be a general lack of liquidity.

I tend to agree and I think there's not much market for climbing challenges, and I think it's pretty bizarre to bet such kind of field. Yeah I've seen such competition but never heard that it could be presented on betting.

The pictures you have shown doesn't look like an indoor sports to me. Sports Climbing in an actual cliff or mountain is very dangerous, everything could go wrong, if you know what I mean. Rock formations in cliff or mountain sometimes are not strong enough to hold the weight of the climber, without proper harness and safety equipment, the climber would die.

It's really that dangerous and even if we say there's enough equipment to support them it's still too risky for a player. I believe but can be played indoor since there are competitions in this currently held with some realistic cliffs that they can climbed upon.

Man, this kind of sport looks scary enough. I even would not bet, but rather ask another people not to do so, because this will promote such sport and this can result in some idiots to fall over cliff and their deaths. Let's better to bet on cockroach races, i don't think that this can result in anything bad Grin

Without a doubt it is a scary sport, after all we know there is a great deal of the population that is afraid of heights and this sport is about climbing at impressive speeds, for the most part the ones I have seen use a rope and other security measures to avoid that something like that happens, but if you see some YouTube videos about their training regimen and the ones that have the hobby of climbing then you will see they do not use protective gear.

I hope if such competitions become available for betting one day, at least the participants will use protective equipment, maybe it will even be a mandatory condition. Otherwise, betting on a competitor losing against someone would basically mean (in some cases) betting on his/her death, which seems kind of immoral Sad

They are not using anything as they are challenging their own selves to conquer their fear inside, for people who are afraid with heights this kind of sports might not get their interest, so with chances that they'll be playing or gambling with this sports.

there are people who don't have that appetite looking for someone who are very fast climbing up, though there are security protocols that the facilitator are providing but accident still possible to happened,.

More on safety measures and more protections for aspiring participants.

Seems like a pretty niche betting market.

I personally think that it's just too prone to manipulation to be a feasible bet for more sophisticated bettors. There will also be a general lack of liquidity.

If you are an enthusiast, sure, go for it. But just know that there is no real authority that is keeping the bets fair, and it's essentially the Wild West. I can imagine if the betting markets for climbing did get large, then there will be quite a high incidence rate of "match fixing" whereby climbers fail on purpose to get themselves or friends/family a handsome payoff.

The apparent risks or risks we imagine are quite deceiving. I don't think rock climbing is as dangerous a sport as we think. I don't have statistics for this sport, but as far as I know, bodybuilding was the most deadly sport recently (surprise!). This is due to the fact that in the pursuit of building muscle and burning fat, athletes destroy their bodies with pharmacology and then literally die from the common cold.

^ It ios quite dangerous but they had their own protective gears on this, they had with a rope and harness that support when they will fall and most likely tournaments are not just a random place to climb, it is the indoor place or if in outdoor venues they make it sure everything is strong to hold and another plus to protect them is the rope and harness, the last is the is the floor under the climbing walls has a cover of foam so that if someone will accidentally fall will not get hurt too much. Nevertheless, there are two types of climbing competitions, is onsight and redpoint competition.

If this is a competition there should be a safety protocol and they should be wearing some protective gears because you will not take your life at big risk for just a reward. If you’re afraid of heights I don’t really think you can watch this one, but personally it looks exciting for me though betting might not be an option for me as well, its hard to predict that competition.

Without safety protocols, it's "free soloing"!

Quote

Free soloing means to climb with no rope to catch you if you fall. Free climbing means you wear a rope to catch you, but you don't use any artificial means to help you ascend the wall.

That free soloing is crazy! Probably the most dangerous "sport" (if we can call it that) in the world! They climb on crazy high cliffs without any equipment! I guess for practicing free soloing first you need to be crazy to wish to do it, second you need to be physically 101% ready! They need to be able to hold their weight with a finger or two for seconds, maybe minutes sometimes...

Climbing in the arenas is with safety ropes, and the point is to get the first to the top! I saw few competitions, it's interesting! I would bet on this If I have a chance to watch it more regularly somewhere... placing random bets on this is like playing coin toss, 50/50 to win! Pure luck!

I have never thought that this could be a sport because I thought that it's just another out-of-town recreational activity that's being done when having a vacation. It's quite new to me and if it becomes listed on a different sports book then it's one of a must to bet on.
As long as the rules are easy to understand and there's a bookie that has it then we've got no problem and it's not a question anymore if I'll be betting on this type of sport.

I never knew such game exist climbing challange. I would love to watch how it's been played so I can stake my fiat for my favorite athlete. I am also wondering if the odd will look attractive since a whole lot of persons don't know such games exist I feel more publicity should be done on this to create good awareness to the public about this kind of game.

I am also a huge fan of climbing, unfortunately near my hometown there aren't any mountains, so I just stick to bouldering indoor. Watching speed climbing is insane, their speed is so fast and the routes they are climbing are insanely hard. Over the last few years quite a lot of people became interested in climbing, it is even now a competition in olympics. With so many people watching it should be normal to make it also attractive for bookmakers. Top climbers become something like celebrities these days, it would be normal to bet on them.

It is definitely an interesting sport to watch and I have seen a few competitions in the past but I am not aware of any sport book on this market that takes bets like that which means the sport is yet to become as popular as it could, however when I see the sport I cannot help to think that eventually it will get there as it is incredibly impressive how those people can move at such speeds when they are climbing, I remember the first time I watched a competition and I could not really believe what I was watching.

One of the most spectacular yet little known sports is climbing. One of the specialties is indoor competition where the athletes will compete on completing diabolical routes and doing so the fastest. If you have never seen a video, you really should.

-snip-

There are many other options for betting, such a certain climbing finishing a certain route or climbing a certain mountain. The stars of this sport, both male and female, frequently declare their intentions of climbing routes and it is a open ground for bets. Is there already any place to bet on climbing competitions or challenges that you know of?

Never heard of people betting on such events. Sounds really complicated. How does this work though? You bet on who is going to finish first? Or like who falls down first? lol.
And bet on routes? How is that supposed to work? I thought everyone followed specific routes when climbing to avoid dangers. Is it like we also have to guess which mountain are they going to climb? If that is the case, wouldn't organizers who what route and mountains they are going to climb and use those information for their own advantage?

Lots of factors would really be considered first and those questions you had mentioned are actually valid and we do need some clarifications on that.
When it comes to betting options or lines been offered then it would be usually be talking about on whose the one would cross the line first compared into that who would gonna fall first. When it comes to course then i dont think that there would be specific route to be followed unless if those
had been studied and been looked out which it would be one of the questions about probability of knowing it first before the competition starts.

This is definately something worth trying but at the same time is rock climbing a professional sports ? I was not so sure about that so I did some research and as it turns out it is. Let me state quote from the Google :

Quote

When it was formally announced in 2016 that climbing would be a medal sport in the 2020 Olympics, the format was derided by many throughout the climbing world. At the Tokyo games, climbers will compete in three disciplines—bouldering, lead climbing, and speed climbing—for one combined set of medals per gender

At the same time we have to understand that the hardest job here would be knowing the players. If the completion is indoor this provides people with the scope to go and experience it.
I have seen so many videos on it and all of them stuns me every time. People really outdo themselves. I would place a bet on it but the problem will be it getting included in good sport gambling sites. They are mostly involved with the most popular sports and sports like these are most often ignored.

It is like the way in the movie there are a lot of gamblers motivate other people to make an extreme action just like this. Well for sure only known and professional climbers will grab the opportunity for this it's all about the risk of life.

Different people have different preferences on gambling I think still there will be a person seen a something with this sports if they will try adopt the use of gambling.

I actually find it interesting and if I would have a chance, I will definitely bet on it. I find this type of sports fair because it requires the actual strength of the player. I have watched a few rounds of climbing sports and it's really exciting. I believe that more sports lovers would get hooked on it.

Just to watch climbing activities or tournaments seems interesting, but to bet on climbing there won't be many enthusiasts.
Because climbing is not a sport that many people are interested in, so I doubt there is a gambling site that offers climbing bets.
Even though there are platforms that offer it, I don't seem interested in participating, it's a little strange to bet on climbing.

But maybe eventually there will be? remember that In gambling industry there is always a window for something that may attract bettors .
this Sport is challenging and unique, maybe this has no big market for time being but in many chances and future , surely this will be added into other site that brings even ODDs for what we believe will win.
