I did not see any threads related to SUMO WRESTLING and I have been seeing that SUMO WRESTLING is a good sport. Every players are eager to win and the results could.be predictable unless those who had made some fights already and becoming a veteran. Yet, they too still lose.

The sports has lots of excitement especially that the players had different approach, styles, technique and ability. The better also strategy that a player will make the better chance of winning the match.

Does anyone here do like or entertain SUMO WRESTLING?
Can we integrate it to blockchain and betting platforms?

No doubt Sumo Wrestling is entertaining but you see the target audience is very limited and hence, not many websites take such bets. Even if the sportsbetting sites accept these bets, there are very few people who'd know enough about the game to place a bet.

I've seen this fight in a movie but I'm not really fun of it as I haven't seen it in personal, in our country no games like this, I think it's popular in Japan.  Honestly, I don't know that there are sportsbook who are having a line for this kind of game but love to see some feed back here.

What someone finds entertaining is always personal but I like watching it. But after some time, it is quite boring as it is always the same...

For a game thats more than a culture than sports, i guess its not that popular because of that. Honestly, i know how the sports mechanics was but i didnt seen any matches even on television. Its also an interesting game with something new to bet on. I guess its worth a try. Its a sports bet by the way.

I have seen sumo wrestling in tv's before, unfortunately, I'm not into it. And I agree that it is somewhat a boring sport and more adept to Japanese culture and history. But make no mistake about it, is a full contact sport. It's their national sport to be exact so it originate as far back as when Japanese it still at its infancy. But I'm not sure if it can be integrated to betting platforms.

I think it has to make it to major sports news first before it can be considered by betting platforms. At the moment, I really do not see it that popular.

Well, the local betting market for Sumo wrestling is high enough. I remember watching a documentary about the millionaires who got rich by betting on Sumo wrestlers. Maybe if local betting sites target the sport, people can bet on it but I don't see that happening due to gambling restrictions in those countries.

I tried to watch sumo wrestling on TV but I don't see it interesting for me. Maybe for some it is enjoy but not for me because of some reasons. I think Sumo is just for the Japanese Bigs only to play and it is their culture. I think lets not bet on it unless were Japanese :D

What’s good about this boring Sport?sorry for those fanatic but this is my own opinion since I find this game as the most boring sports.imagine 2 giants just pushing and weighing each other till the end of the time?and also I find this unhealthy for the players look at their size and imagine how old they did?because of unhealthy diet.but this is just for me and no offense to others that love this sports.

I'm not Japanese but when I watch SUMO its very entertaining and has become a spearhead of its culture, I never seen the sport SUMO in the online gambling area possibly with less interest. I don't know who has the potential for excellence so I won't make careless bets.

It is one of Japan's national and favorite sports and not only entertaining but it follows Japans's tradition of combat and competition, I consider it one of the hardest sports to get in, you need to be so fat and weigh heavy to be able to compete to other Sumo wrestlers, the big factor here is the weight.

I had answered maybe because maybe it can make a debut from an online gambling site or it can not, Because maybe this is just popular in the Japanese culture and this kind of league had a very ambiguous audience there are just a few that is interested in watching such sports, And if you would look to the number of players in a Sumo wrestling match they would just include heavy weighted fighters that each player would have a hard time pushing and throwing in the outer ring, I guess you can not include a regular guy in participating in such sports, As a matter of fact a maybe is just my answer because it will need a number of demands to be put in a sports bookies.

We are here to discuss SUMO WRESTLING in terms of gambling and I do not know any site which offer betting on it. Since it a popular sports in japan, I am sure there will be some Japanese site which may offer betting on it. Maybe anyone from Japan can better tell us on it.

It is entertaining, but the same isn't that good for betting. In SUMO Wrestling it is not that easy predictable and I've a thinking that it is played mostly by the people of China. They might be informative about the players and their potential which is good to select the right odds for betting.  As a form of entertainment it is good to watch along with friends.

I'm aware on Sumo wrestling existence but I'm pretty sure that this is only famous into their locals that's why we aren't seeing these sports to be offered
on most sportsbook.

Generally,winning on sports isn't guaranteed no matter how good the analysis you have and that's the nature of gambling where everything can possibly when
even the underdog.

There are not threads for this because this sport is not played all over the world.
If it is not international it doesn't have international interest. Personally, I find it very dull to watch sumo wrestling so I don't think that it will excites me to see it integrated in blockchain.

I also don't think it will get an international audience as well. It's just two sumo's trying to beat each other so there's no excitement in there. So no need to see it being integrated in blockchain technology.

Many people see as a funny thing rather than a sport but trust me being a sumo wrestler is not easy and cheap as well,they need to take huge amount of calorie diet per day and I guess it is nearly 10,000 calories to maintain their body so it will cost a lot.Not sure about any gambling sites have features on betting those games.

Everything can be manipulated if there is always a money involved not just in this kind of match. It is up to the people on how they to choose their fighter by looking at the available data of each fighter. But sometimes no matter what we do look at the right data there are things that we cannot control, like for example, the decision of the judges and the referee.

YES, SUMO WRESTLING, is a a traditional heavyweight wrestling & I agreed that SUMO WRESTLING is a entertaining but others get bored watching it.

Sumo wrestling is entertaining for sure,but it's not,should I say,"gambling-friendly".The best sumo players usually always win and this makes it very predictable.As we all know,sports that are very predictable can't be used for gambling,because the bookies will lose money,most of the time.

I was once in Tokyo many years ago and attended a SUMO WRESTLING at Ryogoku Kokugikan.
I wish I could find these pictures but I have seen some sporting events in my years of traveling and the way the fans got behind these SUMOs was incredible
I found it extra fascinating that you were aloud to make a bet on the SUMOs with people in the stands.
 

I do watched some games but for me it is not.

It is amazing though to see these Japanese guys lifting and pushing each others shouting dosukoi. I don't know if people are betting here, some Japanese here might tell us.

I haven't finished watching even a single match of Sumo Wrestling. I don't know. I think I just find it boring maybe because I'm not really a fan. So to answer the poll, my answer is a "no". But I'm not closing my doors in watching such events. Maybe, I'll give it a shot and watch it once I find a triggering reason why I should watch rather than why I shouldn't.

I love watching Sumo wrestling not only entertaining but also fascinating in a sense the protagonist is having the same body weight, they are heavy in weight but very agile, it's not a very brutal sport but full of action, no wonder it is Japan's national sports it's a sport with a lot of discipline.

To be honest I don't really think that people would get hooked at it,
There are only a few people who would enjoy it and I don't think that other nation would be fan of it.
It could be entertaining but most people would prefer something like MMA fights when it comes to gambling.

Well, I'm not amazed in Sumo wrestling but appreciated how the game works. I think those Asian people from the SEA will like it because some of them, it's part of their culture.

There's a thrill if the game becomes intense, both players are good and strong but that's all, no other twist. So maybe that's the reason why I don't like this kind of game.

Sumo is very popular in Japan, and I found it fascinating. However, the audience is very limited to Japan area. Thus, if you want to start Sumo betting site, it will have some hurdle: (1) Global challenge: you have to "educate" non-Japanese gamblers about Sumo, or (2) Local challenge: You have to translate your website into the Japanese language.

It is entertaining especially if you really know what they are doing and you respect their culture. I watched a an anime where they show how this sport and even made an anime all about sumo. Is there any sites where you can bet your money in this games? I think Japanese people respect this game and do not bet on this game but just support the players.

I agree, sure it is entertaining to watch but it is not a sport that people normally bet on, the most common sports that betting sites cater is basketball, soccer, badminton and many others but I haven't encountered yet a betting site that has SUMO Wrestling. Also it isn't that popular of a game or sports now so I think only a few knows and watch sumo wrestling nowadays.

sumo wrestling is still a kind of wrestling and there are many people that loves to watch wrestling but summo is verry popular on china and japan or other asian countries  and i think they do integrate it with gambling  .

 i see that op is only asking if its entertaining or not well id say it still depend on the viewers  , if your from the country that i mentioned earlier then you will find summo wrestling entertaining but if not then chances are you will find un-interesting  .

I agree, its not entertaining and its not suitable for the betting and this sports is really a serious that people are afraid to watch, not like in boxing there is always an excitement and you can predict if who will be the win in the fight.

Im pretty sure that Japanese people will appreciate this game since this is their one of the greatest tradition in fighting. If only users here will come to watch every sumo wretlstling tournament then pretty sure that there will be a change on how one will see a good sports a one historic aports in Japan. This is also unique kind of sports to which it does not have in common with other sports.

I think betting in sumo already exists. This article provides where you can bet for sumo sport -1xBet and Unibet.

https://www.gamingzion.com/gambling/gambling-news/weirdest-sports-to-bet-on-can-you-bet-on-sumo-wrestling/ (https://www.gamingzion.com/gambling/gambling-news/weirdest-sports-to-bet-on-can-you-bet-on-sumo-wrestling/)

Though unusual to have betting in this sport, yet, it is already happening.

Didn't expect for books to list out this kind of sports.It turns out not really be too entertaining on my part and that's why
we aren't seeing this sport for various popular bookies and also thanks for the share out on where you can possibly bet on since this would be helpful
for those who do seek up.

I find that sumo is very entertaining and also part of important culture, the result of the match sometimes cant be predictable, its really suitable for betting, but the one that interested is really little so I dont think its going to be popular if its put into gambling site

Haven't watched a full match but I don't find it entertaining. It's plus size men tackling and pushing each other and grunting.


Indeed. Even if it's seen as a traditional Japanese art, there are still gambling involved, as with any sports. I don't know how strict the Japanese are when it comes to gambling regulation but if someone's going to make a gambling platform for sumo matches, it's definitely gonna be Japanese. The sports is quite "niche" in that sense that it's not really popular outside their country.


Nah, SEA seem to be more a boxing people, especially Filipinos and Thais, with the latter having their own traditional boxing sport.

   

I've been at Sumo Wrestling events in the past and let me tell you that its actually a once in a life time experience. I'm not a local resident otherwise I'd go everyday. provided I could afford to. Those men, man! they were huge! And I guess that is why people go to see these events. Its a curiosity, a niche and people go there to be amazed more than anything.

And dude its the japanese, they don't like to talk or engage much with other people. Explaining japanese people or their culture is hard for anyone like me. as far as integration into Blockchain is considered. I don't recall seeing it anywhere relevant.

It's not as interesting as MMA but can be very entertaining for someone who is new to the culture. The size of the fighters can make a big impression on its own.
The fights are not something I would pay for but the whole dance and preparation and the way it is judged is very nice.


I feel the same. It's more of a spectacle than a sport.

Who knows, Japan is one of the leading blockchain hubs in Asia? If they see the potential of this sport via blockchain betting, they might consider it. Unless, they will be protective to their culture and leave the way it is. It is their legacy to the world so they might be conservative when it comes to modernizing its domain.

It's somewhat entertaining i've seen a match once but I wouldn't go as far as betting on it. From how I see sumo wrestling it's kind of like WWE but that's just my opinion since I don't follow the competitive scene in sumo wrestling.

Its very specific to Japan or nearby, maybe Korea I dont know.    It seems a reasonable sport to me but its part of the whole culture behind it also, it would take a really keen bettor to go into a sport outside their country like this and that they never do themselves.    It could be more popular I think maybe but I can see why its not spread so far.    Many countries have special disciplines that is not appreciated by the wider world.

I voted yes but I cant really bet on it, the biggest bettors are very regular spectators and possibly for their whole lives.

Sumo wrestling some quite funny for me is it because of a heavy body that two person fighting to be out in the line in the circle area
 wThis is  well known popular to Japanese people and they having fun of watching playing sumo wrestling.This kind of games can be called also as gambling because you do betting to the person you bet to win.this can be fun to entertain people watching this.this is a safe game than UFC wrestling.but if you want to bet to win big choose boxing to gamble this is what I think has a big betting.this is just for me.but well sumo also can win big money if there are many gambler bet for this game.but we all known that this is not a popular games we ever seen,only few are watching of this game.

Its a good Japanese culture and I always see that as an entertaining watching the previous match of youtube but I hope we don’t bully them because I feel bad for them for beeing like that, i mean they are working hard for that. Since its only happening in Japan i also think that it will be hard to have betting site on that.

When I was young I used to watch sumo wrestling in our tv, its my grandpa's favorite. I noticed you can already guess who might win for the round by just looking at their physical features (that's what I believe before).

Well sumo wrestling is entertaining but I dont feel betting in this kind of sports. It seems to me that its not really serious since its from japanese culture and the purpose is to entertain the audience.

Sumo wrestling is one of the sports which is entertaining, but I guess that it's not too popular than the other sports. But I think sumo wrestling can be used to place a bet since people are like to bets when they can see a chance to make money from one thing. Perhaps, sumo wrestling is popular in Japan since we know that this sports game was in Japan. Besides that, I don't watch sumo wrestling in here because I don't know the rule, I only know one player needs to beat the other player in the ring.

Sumo restling is one of the old traditions in Japan and they are still making it alive. Though for me it isn't entertaining but for Japanese they enjoy it very match while watching. We don't know maybe gambling is already combined with sumo wrestling. As we all know many people enjoy more when watching if money is involved.

Its fun to watch but would betting for which wrestler to win is challenging  unless you are a Japanese who knew and followed those sumo wrestlers.  I have seen a documentary about them, I learned that this is actually a ritual for them. Its part of their culture and these sumo wrestlers are going to dedicate their lives being a somu for their entire life. I miss the information of the benefits of being one but it must be very attractive offer for someone to dedicate their life.

I remembered my childhood days while watching SUMO wrestling and you are right. It is quite entertaining at first, fun to watch but the monent you used to watch it most of the time, you'll get bored. Seems like this game is not that popular now. I hardly see it in television shows now unlike before.

It is entertaining in their way, Japanese way.

Why sport betting site is not included Sumo ?
IMO, the odds totally unpredictable because not all Sumo wrestler can consistent for their performance ( there are few only)

I don`t feel so. Like, Geez! I am returning to my childhood experience when I have seen Sumo Wrestling. It is not anymore an ideal sports for I. Where in fact, it might have smaller gambler that will bet. I dunno if other countries love sumo wrestling because its part of their cultural identity. But for me, I rather to bet in NBA games than in sumo. I entertain to watch sumo wrestling but not all times and also in a short period moment. 

It's entertaining to watch but isn't it that Japan is the only country that continues the tradition of this sport?

Definitely, just like basketball, boxing and other sports.

I am not so familiar with this type of sport even though I sometimes see it on television. From the first glance I don't like sumo because, for me, it's not so entertaining. Btw, any game can be integrated into the gambling platform. It's just a matter of the number of fans who might make sumo games very rare on the gambling platforms to this day.

It's a traditions and its been there knowing how Japan as conservatives regarding to their traditional ways it will be alive no matter what, in terms
of betting maybe there's some who will also enjoy this type of gambling but not sure if there's many gamblers who will choose this as there's lots
of sports game to choose.

Over 60% of Japanese will choose SUMO game over any type of sport betting you can think about. The game was more like a tradition, it was always a time for people with muscles to show their strength and most times it’s always aired on national TVs. Even though its been involved in crisis regarding manipulation of games results, this wrestling type has remained strong and unshaken in Japan region.

I was a great fan of Sumo games, I never participated in playing but I could sit all day to watch it on live TV stations but there are netter casino games now and I doubt if I can still sit to watch this wrestling game . Also the varieties of online game would even make anyone forget that SUMO games ever existed.

Well yeah, it is part of Japan's culture, it is Japan's national sport so it is not a question that local betting is high enough and some may get rich from that but I think it is not a common to other countries to bet on SUMO wrestling because not all don't find it interesting and only a few from other countries who are watching SUMO wrestling.

Sumo wrestling is entertaining to watch, but I think I understand why other than Japanese betting sites do not accept bets on this sport. The thing is that it is not popular elsewhere, and gambling sites, for obvious reasons, prefer listing only popular games. The main drawback of listing an unpopular sport is that the profit of gambling site will be small if only a few people are betting on an event. There are many sport events that are much more popular than Sumo, and yet even those events are never listed, so Sumo is not even the first in line.

I am not a big fan of Sumo wrestling,sure it may be fun to watch but only for a little bit,after a while where to really big bodies just fight each other it becomes boring for the reason that the Sumos are not agile compared to traditional wrestling which is indeed fun to watch and there are a lot of moves there different from Sumo wrestling.

I know some people find Sumo wrestling entertaining as we are all different in our taste for different sports.

I think Sumo betting is particularly more common in the Japan region compared to Korean. It’s also in Korea but really more popular in Korea. The way Sumo game is known in Japan is just like Pro baseball, people assume it’s a game for people who have increased their body while gaining weight and then start to swank of their strength. It is one game that is highly respected  in Japan because they see it as the national sports and a culture that’s more of the soul of their citizens.

However I would like to say that I do not really find the game interesting and I don’t see it getting linked to blockchain for any reason. As a matter of fact, it got to a point the game started becoming less popular in Japan but because of the love they have for it, they made different efforts to bring it back.

It was definitely entertaining but not enough to get attention in gambling industry because it's only popular in few countries as part of their culture, mainly in Japan. Unlike other contact sports that is known all over the world which seems more enjoyable to watch and competing in different countries.

Kind of restricted largely to Japanese audience and does appeal to some persons within that circle.It is entertaining no doubt,but it is not such a big player in games, I doubt if there are big leagues/seasons or competition that can draw enough international attention. With enough audience, placing it as a part of the digital gambling platforms will not be a big challenge

Not that many gamblers are actually aware that this is a sport similar conventional games like basketball and football. I really think it deserves more attention. It shows how plus sized guys can be extremely flexible and agile. Though it really doesn't have that much following especially in western countries where pro wrestling and mma takes most of the attention.

It was and still remains an interesting game. It’s the most talked about betting game in the japan country. I visited some years ago and I witnessed excitement of citizens as they participated in watching the game, it was an intriguing site to behold.

I learnt the participation level has really dropped but they are still working on reviving the game. If it’s possible for SUMO wrestling game to be integrated into blockchain then it might be a very good idea considering that a very high number of japans are gamblers and many would be glad to have this on casinos. But I am very sure that would be quite impossible, since some games are best as off line games.

It is not a game playable by everyone,its only for the sumo wrestelers for that they need to keep their body in perfect condition to play.Even myself not much sure about that games but watched some videos related to that and even some movies based on that game so it is really entertaining to watch but for playing nah.

Just open youtube and you can find a lot of sumo wrestling.

Since it's a traditional sports/art in japan, i don't think it will be become as one of sport which you can bet it.

Sumo Wrestling is one of the biggest and most corrupt sport on this earth because of how their ranking system works. In the book freakeconomics, there was a study done that wrestlers whos record was tied going into the final match won like 75% of the time if I recall correctly. and than if those two wrestlers fought again, the guy that won the last match would only win the next match like 40% of the time. I wish I still had my copy so I could pull a quote from it.

Yeah mate sumo wrestling is 100% entertainment, when I was a child I laways watching sumo wrestling movie and I enjoy it specially the attire of both fighters. I always guess in mind while I am watching the bigger fighter is the advantage to get win.

I'm little bit get curious on this one.Hope you would able to find out your copy because on the thing you do said,

if that system is being followed then no doubt that this is indeed a corrupt sport which making such bets isn't really that appealing at all.

I think you are talking about professional wrestling, it is entertainment and it was fun to watch when you were a kid. The reason you do not see sumo wrestling outside of Japanese television is that it is regional bound and you cannot garner a larger audience and hence there is no known television deals, I remember ESPN covering the sport for a short period 25 years back and then i have seen some in TEN sports when they launched :D.

Tt is a full contact sport and the combatants have a life on its own and it is interesting to learn about their life and how they maintain their life style. I have seen some documentaries regarding their life and that is my only experience with the sport  ;D.

SUMO is definitely entertaining and of course could be added to betting sites. The main reason it is not that widely integrated into betting platforms is the same why it is not seen on TV often. The  geographical area where it is really popular is  limited. In Japan betting on the SUMO is a common, and actually has the same problems as in other sports - some wrestlers involved into illegal betting on own matches.

I am not aware there was ever a drop in the participation. SUMO wrestling is a highly reverenced game in Japan, and it’s always a time for muscular wrestlers to show their strength. So I believe not even the wrestlers of the speculators will ever want to see the end of the game

I believe there will always be a time for upgrade, maybe by integrating it into blockchain and creating an online version but I really don’t know how possible this can ever be. I have always been a great fan of the game and I am 100% sure that I would be the first to register on the platform if it ever becomes an online game, but how exactly can this be played as an online game? This is one big challenging question.

Sumo wrestling was became an sport industry in Japan and i heard some of sumo wrestlers were have luxury life because the champion can earn a lot of money but this sport not good option to considering as sportbook feature because globally sumo will be lack of interest to bets and exception for Japan only because this is as sport legacy exist since hundreds of years ago

It can be like that it's easy to corrupt the match as it's only two persons who can decide whether to fight 100% or can sell the game and let the opponent to win the game, there's no impossible if the type of gamblers will be facilitated by the big groups or mafia behind.

I think that doesn't happen in this sport, even in all sports matches there have been cases of bribery between players. btw, this sport is not very popular in the world, I myself rarely see this sport contested like in the Olympics, but I don't know the 2020 summer Olympics whether SUMO wrestling will be contested because next year's Olympics will take place in Japan.

Corruption is shady on these type of entertainment games and I doubt there will be any clear explanation if such accusation raises against the sumo wrestling team. Big money comes to game and it decides which side will win. So, no transparency is expected from my side if gambling included beside the entertainment.

It should be because Sumo is a sport that come from Japan and is quite famous. It's just that enthusiasts bet this sport is small and mostly held in Japan. Though this is entertaining and unique because only large-bodied people can play.

I don't think it will attract more people outside Japan. It only happens there and if people doesn't know the mechanics of that game or who has greater odds of winning then they won't have an interest to bet on sumo wrestling.

Your link is broken unfortunately  :(

Does anyone know a betting site where sumo wrestling is available for bets in BTC? And in english language please, not in chinese, korean or japan language...  ::)

I used to love watching sumo. They used to broadcast it on Eurosport but it's not that popular at all.

Is obviously people can integrate sumo wrestling with Bitcoin betting.
Personally I didn't see any site who is is added sumo wrestling also for betting purposes. Actors in this grade I will leave sum of gambling investors might push sumo wrestling also to be part of this gambling field.

In fact I think most of sumotori come from outside Japan. Hakuho the best one is mongolian for example and there are even few caucasian wrestlers.

---

it's a pity  :( but thank you

I had tried to watch some matches but it didn't kept my attention. Just guess I don't know the rules that good. :-(

Its also being broadcast in my place and some people having fun watching it and placing some bet. I tried to bet also but its a pure luck betting since its hard to get infomation from the wrestlers well, its still fun to bet.

Gamblers are always ready to gamble on anything as long as it it pays them and I believe many gamblers would gladly bet on the game if it’s going to be profitable. SUMO is an interesting game and I believe the betting will also be. I would also be a part of it if I got the opportunity to do so.

I am not from Japan and same with so many of my friends but I always followed up with the wrestling on you tube channels and I find it quite interesting, so it believe if being integrated on blockchain, not only Japanese people will play. Definitely people from other countries who find it interesting will partake, after all some of the games we play with on casino sites do not exist in our country.

Even if somo wresting become popular on betting platform it cannot attain much attention as it is limited to a one country and other than that no one knows about SOMO wrestling. Also SOMO wrestling is considered to be very old and we have these day much entertaining modern world WWE wrestling.

It's entertaining to watch when you see those huge guys fighting each other in this kind of sport match. That's fun to watch and exciting during close fights performing mixed judo attacks. If you're betting on this you'll find it hard to give on your best choice, because one mistake that you're fighter would fail to do so? Losing your bets is probably going to happen when he couldn't recover back.

I only watched sumo wrestling on movies,but never seen on my TV and in any other YouTube channel I subscribed. So this shows that sumo wrestling is not much popular in my location but this is a good game to watch based on my experience on that movie so I will bet on that on that game is that is available too.

Because sumo wrestling is not too popular in other countries and it's only popular in Japan only. Perhaps, only Japanese people who place bets in sumo wrestling but if we know where the site which has these sports, we could try to place bets too. I think any sports game can give entertainment to people as long as they can enjoy sports and they know about this sport. No matter if we watch on the television, youtube channel or watching directly in the sumo tournament, we can try to get fun like the other people.

I guess if they will add it in the sports book, it would still benefit the sports book and they also help to introduce this kind of game.
They don't loss anything because as long as there are people who are betting on it, they make commissions on it, and Japan is a crypto friendly country.

People love the game as firstly people get attracted very easily with their physical appearance itself which becomes the major factor of interest among various ages of the group of people.  I love the fight that happens and the never say die attitude irrespective how difficult for them to get up after they fall down is amazing.

Sumo was granted full recognition by the International Olympic Committee in October 2018, so it could, theoretically, be included in Olympic program at Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics, and Sumo was among 26 sports applied for inclusion, but the application was rejected. And it is not surprising because this sport is not very popular, and including unpopular sports in the Olympic program can lead to a loss of audience interest in this event.

But there is still more people who want and enjoyed watching SUMO WRWSTLING because it's fun & SUMO is popular on Japan.

Yeah,there are really sports which are really famous or popular specially into the locals but talking internationally i dont think for these sport to be popular outside.
This is why we do seldom see bookies that do offer to list this sport.There are people who are really interested to bet on these sports but we cant see too much of them.

Thinking the discipline of every sumo wrestler?and how hard to become that size?and according to my research that they are preferred to be a SumoWrestler since they were very young,that’s enough reason to find entertainment in that sports

Many thought that they are just like a mascot or something like a giants but has no skills,but they are wrong being in that sports has a lot of skills and experience to win ,no wonder why Japan respect their sports thinking that they are one of the most high tech country in the world

I remember watching Sumo Wrestling on the television when I was in Singapore. TV has those sports channels, and some of them were fun, like football. I pressed the next channel button on the remote, and I found myself watching them. It's like amazing to see how they are so big and preventing themselves to not go out Of the line. I think of how are they able to maintain, and are they still healthy? I don't know much about it, but it intrigued my brain.

I wouldn't be able to participate in that kind of sport unless it's going to be in gaming consoles or what not. Lol.

I don't know about you guys but what I like in sumo wrestling was just when these sumo wrestlers bouncing their fats onto each other. I really like that, I mean, I was just searching for fun in every sports and that's the fun I liked in sumo wrestlers. But the sports I like are sports I always do. So, Sumo wrestling is not at the top of my list.

As a kid when I watched Sumo wrestling on television I was stunned to see them wrestle each other, and how can I forget thier bouncing fat it was hilarious. This sport does not have fans outside Japan, and I don’t recollect any efforts done by them to make this a global sport. I would not be comfortable in betting on their matches because it can be very unpredictable due to their size, also not even sure if any sportsbook accepts bet on them.

Same with me. It was one of the most interesting games I liked to watch on channels then and   I liked how fat the participants would always look. On many occasions I watched it with my family and my dad had his favorite fighters.

But as time passed, it became less interesting with many contradictions. One time there was rumor of how the results are being manipulated, and other times I learnt existing players started to pull out and stop playing, don’t really have the reason for that and since it’s a game not everyone can play because of the weight of players, the exit of one player would definitely have a great impact in the game. Integrating SUMO wrestling would be a very good development, considering that it was a very popular and many players would be glad to partake on the online version.

First time i heard about it was in street fighter with Honda  :P
The game does not look bad but I believe not everyone is enjoying to see two 10XL males fighting..
I read an article few months ago about how the number of sumo players from Japan are becoming less and less important comparing with players from other nations. I don't recall it exactly but that's what I remember learning. I will pass with the health issues..
For the betting platforms I believe it can work in Japan but for sure it will not be as profitable for bookies around the world.

Well we have different likes and dislikes but whatever we do, we do it for love of entertainment. Most likely as I have stated above in my thread that this sport is one of a kind and is not common to every kombat sports I have ever known.

Just try to watch sumo wrestling of a certain event and then ask oneself if it is not really that interesting.

It's a cultured based sport so it's not very popular in the west. They just consider those sports that are not culture based and capable for all of the people in the world. Sumo wrestling is just entertainment for them.

but it's pretty fun, like a boxing game you will see each player drop each other and that is a entertaining show. yeah unfortunately the match about sumo is not so popular and then there aren't many TV shows about sumo, even I don't know any sumo players lol

At least the world knows about it but the way i see this kind of match is just like a tournament that's not meant for Olympics yet they know about it. Although it is not that really designed for the Olympics since it is more about grappling the opponent and it does really belong to the entertainment showbiz.

Yes, Sumo wrestling it was entertaining and other still enjoying wathcing SUMO wrestling.

I only saw sumo wrestling in television but I don't watch it but I like it before. But it's entertaining because when I watch sumo wrestling I can make me happy. I think sumo wrestling use as betting who win between the two person I saw a lot of big 2 guys are participating in each round I think this game is originally came from the country of Japan.

I didn’t disagree with you. It is entertaining. For me, it’s like a lost art in the World today. As I see it, less and fewer people are talking about it. Maybe they are just not exposed anymore, or it's the way they wanted it. There is no social media attention of that too, AFAIK.

Do you want to participate in a sport like that? I think you have to increase your weight a lot if you wanted to. This reminds me of Ganryu in Tekken. Lol.

Not much of fighting and yet I feel the entertainment on that sports and I believe its already a culture that we can't erase from today's generation. Maybe a few are interested to watch the fight because of not so extreme fighting, but this kind of wrestling is classic and until now it brings fun to me as always.

if the match lasts for 1 minute or less then its not boring  . the real boring is when the match takes too long to finish like boxing for example most match of boxing last 12 rounds and to be honest i find boxing boring especially if i dont know the fighters  .

yes it is some people loves sumo wrestling and they support it too much while some are dont  . there are gambling sites for sumo but they arent popular  .

That will help sumo wrestling to be known by many people because I think gambler will curious about the game and they will search for any information related to the game. And if they think that sumo wrestling sports worth to use as for bets and that sports could give entertain and people or gambler can get fun inside the game, they will place the bets on that game.

That will another income for the sports book because they can open new sports on their website which can attract more gambler to bets. And if the sports are really interesting, I am sure that it's no need to wait too long to see that sports will grow and popular among the gambler.

Don’t be deceived bro. Gamblers are very selective with game even though it looks like they play on all games for money, this is the reason some games on some casino sites are never played. Maybe I am the only one who does not find it interesting as it’s been portrayed by people I have come in contact with.

I tried checking for it on YouTube and even the few channels that shows it has few views which means the interest is not really that much.I think there are better games than to think of SUMO wrestling. Gambling has really upgraded more than this. If it’s so interesting, then let it be for to be offline and those who has interest in it will find a way to watch it.

I wouldn't say that sumo-oriented videos have just a few views. There are many videos with millions views, and the Doritos ad from the link below has 322 million views.

If sumo was of no interest to anyone, Doritos wouldn't theme their story that way.

After some research I came to conclusion that sports betting platforms should at least try to accept bets on sumo events. If you will be one from only a few sites accepting such bets, chances are that you'll get thousands of new users.

The only one who can understand how entertaining it was to watch a SUMO WRESTLING is the one who is an enthusiast of it or living in a nearby place where the arena is easily accessible.

Simple as that as in my case, I'm not really enjoying watching sumo wrestling same with other sports I really don't follow like football, soccer, golf, tennis, etc.

People have different taste but in general, all sports are entertaining.


Integrating it directly to blockchain needs lots of works.

I think what you want to say is if any from the betting websites today will open a future bet for SUMO someday.

It's their own opinions and position regarding on how they will be entertained and how they will appreciate this type of game, if some still seeing entertainment but others are not and not paying attentions since they are not getting any good interest about the game.

Being fan doesn't have a weight requirement and I'm not from the base country where the sport originated but I do love watching videos about sumo.
Recently, I've seen a video that interviews a champion in sumo and it's more interesting because she's a woman so if ever there will be a casino that will list this sport I'd like to suggest them to do livestream if there is.

Hakuho lost at Nagoya!

Sumo yokozuna grand champion Kakuryu clinched his sixth title in Nagoya on Sunday, beating fellow grand champion Hakuho on the final day.

The two Mongolian top-ranked yokozuna wrestlers went head to head, and Kakuryu came out on top, forcing out Hakuho to seal his first title in seven tournaments.

He finished with 14 wins and one loss.

All four second-tier ozeki wrestlers sat out or pulled out of the tournament. It was the first time in decades that all ozeki wrestlers were absent from the ring on the final day.

Next Grand tournament in september at Tokyo for the Aki basho.

Some sports are region based and therefore they are not popular worldwide. Same is the case with Somo wrestling which is popular in japan only and therefore we do not see much discussion about it here. Even i think only local Japanese site may having betting for somo wrestling and we do not find any information related to betting on it anywhere else.
