Anyone here tried to gamble in some Beauty Contest? Just like Miss Universe.
How was your experience in gambling with this kind of tournament, like the risk or greed?

Also, when you are betting in such beauty contests, how we can select the winner like the basis on it especially when the pageant is not yet started.
And what other possibilities games to bet in one beauty contest? Just like in basketball, there are A.) first half highest point, B.) Over and under overall total scores, C.) Odd/even total scores, etc.

I haven't tried to bet or is there ever one? I'm thinking of making bets in a sports betting site and the category of it is beauty contests? Since you brought this up, maybe you have some experience about it?

If I were to consider betting in a contestant. The categories that I will definitely consider are looks, personality, and popularity.

• Looks - this would be the first one to be considered, not that you should judge immediately what is "pleasing" to you but we all have a different type of look that we would like to see to someone. Browse all the contestant's photographs and determine.
• Personality - if I had the time to really look into the contestants, I would check videos or background check on how they act normally, not because there is a camera pointed at them but how genuine they could be. Something like that.
• Popularity - this is an important category because I know this would determine the people's votes? Or depends on the contest. I'm not really sure but this is an important factor too.

Hey kabayan, you can ask @bbc.reporter about it, ;D

Miss Universe Betting Odds (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2439440.0)

Personally though, I haven't got the chance to even bet on this kind of events.

Me too, I haven't tried yet. Since I am a little bit curious, and I googled it, there are some websites offering it, just like nitrogensports which I also saw here.
I want to know some people who already tried to bet on these. And thanks crwth for your inputs, appreciated it.

Yeah, I already saw that thread of bbc.reporter, but it was only on Miss Universe 2018 and more likely discussion on that event/contest only.
I would love to hear some experience during gambling with these kinds of contests since I am curious how will be the feeling, especially the excitement or hype when you are looking forward to your bets.

i have heard simillar betting on the past and they are rare to find because not all sites are being able to include them it may because of thier difficulty where less people do have the guts to bet on them     .

  there are many contestants and its verry hard to pick if who will be the winner because the judges can also have thier own choices  . you cant just choose if who do you think are beautiful because sometimes the winners are not that really beautiful ( not to be harshed here )

the gambling should include top 5 or top 10 picks and so own , for a better chances of winning and to attract more bettors  .

Major international pageants

Miss Earth-  October 25, 2019
Miss International-  November 12, 2019
Miss World-  December 14, 2019
Miss Universe-   December 19, 2019   

I believe MISS UNIVERSE to be the biggest one of them all so we will see odds a week beforehand
I havent seen the odds for other pageants

I have not bet on one, but i have been involved in one as a contestant. From my little experience (as it was a contest within my locality). The most important thing is your carriage and personality.
Then your overall looks; height, face, outfit etcetera.
Then how much you can win the crowd over: your popularity. In a local competition most people might not really know you till that night. But in. A global one with different stages you can easily look up the contestants.

I hope this would help you in chosing your bets.

I never really thought of betting on beauty pageants. I think it's a lot of work to get to know most of these contestants every year but if I were to do it one day, my major criteria for choosing would be Popularity and Wittiness.  

I think betting on a beauty contest is not a real gambler betting but it can be a good one for relaxing after betting in our favourite events.In these competitions not always the most good looking woman is elected as Miss World for example as this is something relative,what is beauty for me may be not for you and thus it makes winning money on such event even harder.

NEVER had a chance of betting for gambling in beauty pageants since this is not a normal in my area though I would be happy if I find someone who can bet with the criteria or part that can be considered per Bets are

Miss Friendship
Miss photo genie
Best in swimsuit
Best in evening gown
Etc.

We can agreed on which may we have a deal

I wasn't aware that there are threads in that category but I'm thinking that I would like to participate. Maybe I'm not that fully interested back in the day, in those kinds of bettings, but right now, I'm interested. I just saw Baofengs post and that's just when I discovered that Nitrogensports offer it and bbc.reporter having a betting competition with it.

I'm not sure who to bet for yet since there are no contestants yet for 2019 that is announced. I just checked the miss universe website but no avail. [1] (https://www.missuniverse.com/contestants)

Beauty gambling contests weren't that popular around. Most of the participants of these kind of contests were from the beauty industry particularly the models and other artists. They're the one who know better about valuating the scores of the contestants. It was fun watching the contest, everytime there used to be some incident at the time of revealing the final winners.

This kind of gambling contest would be interesting and exciting for men!
However, I don't know if I can personally bet on such a contest. I am sure that I am going to lose all my money. Every woman would look like a winner to my eyes so I couldn't decide which to choose.

I do, in fact I won my bet on the recent Miss Universe because I put my bet on Catoriona Gray to win.
IIRC, the odds that I get was around over 6.00, and I don't put a big amount actually as there's a lot of contestant and that gives me a little chance of winning, but thanks God I was lucky to win.

I don't also bet in other beauty competition, only when we have a representative in our country as that's more exciting, and in fact this kind of betting is just more on entertainment, can't take this seriously with the odds they offer.

Never heard of any that really bets on it and just reading across the replies I feel surprised that there are really some betting sites to bet to just like Nitrogen Sports. By the way are there any betting sites that do some beauty contest betting, but with the trust issues with them, will hosting them again such gamble still good?

The only thing I guess be the basis is through looks and how they answer the question raised, no more no less.

Here you go and boom, you won. It's normal that the odds are quite huge since there's a lot of contestants. With that kind of odds, it is really hard to bet a large amount of your money.
On which betting website you bet and how many days before you placed your bet with Catriona Gray? Since as I remember before that there are already some rumors about some strongest contestants and as far as I know on Miss Universe there is some preliminary competition which you can also add that up for you for analyzing your potential winner.

Where do you bet on these? Seems like it would be quite an interesting contest to bet on since it's usually quite obvious who's the most beautiful.

Although I always fail in predicting the winners of such contests, I would like to try my luck this year with betting real money on the one I think is the best. I tried to google it, but it looks like no reputable gambling sites are accepting such bets. I may be wrong, but I think it is perfectly suitable for the freebitco.in's betting section. I'd surely bet on one of the beauties, if this option was added there.

Well you can basically gamble on anything that produces results. And i don't think gambling in beauty contests aren't common at all. From international pageants like miss universe to local competition, people are putting out money in it. And the competitors are also being ranked weeks or months before the actual competition so you shouldn't have any problem narrowing down your selection if you'll place money on your bets. Usually the top contestants end up as the finalists.

I would have liked to see also eloquence to be added to this list. Eloquence is about communication whatever the language the person is known with. Beauty without good communication is not complete as a pageant or beauty queen.

IIRC onehash have this before on their special events tab. There's no unusual feeling and it's just the same like betting on NBA games. I'm not really following these kinds of pageant and just bet if ever I want to.

If you are following the contest, you can base on your intuition and assessment regarding the feedback of the people who really are following them.

Rankings and/or their titles on where they are good.

Exactly, if there are those who will bet on beauty contest it would be men, but I don't think beauty contest gambling isn't a thing in gambling most especially in our place, it is better to just watch the beauty ladies showcase there talents and representing there respective countries and don't need to include it in gambling.

Excuse me, I wonder if there is really a sportsbook or any gambling site which offer such kind of game? Or this can only be a game which you can establish on your own? I mean, doing it only for fun? Though this is not my first time to here a concept like this, I'm still curious ;D.
Hmm, aside from Philippines, Columbia and Venezuela what are the other powerhouses when it comes to beauty pageants? Popularity could be a great criteria for choosing your bet but how will you able to pick the right one before the pageant starts? What will be your effective basis to do so? (Hmm, I wonder ???)

I don't like gambling on jury sports. It's all about the jury's favorite and not always the best person wins.

why men? i dont think that men are good at beauty contest not unless if they are girly/girlish lol sorry  i dont want to hurt somebodys feeling but that is what i observed  .  

men tends to foccus on fighting games or games that are solely built for men  .  also  i dont see any gambling site that have this beauty contest betting  but i see that there are bettings for artist awards stuffs like that so i think this is also possible  .

Your fail may be because you are not from the beauty industry. There are many aspects that need to be assessed in a beauty contest, maybe only people in the beauty industry understand. Or if you are a make-up student, you will definitely know what aspects of the jury affect their assessment.

I myself will not try contests like this because I do not like and do not understand what aspects are judged by the jury. I'll bet on sports or dice, because that's all I understand. So in my opinion, don't bet on what you don't understand.

Haven't tried this one and it's a new idea to me. First time seeing it. But for me, betting for the winner will most likely be biased, depending on what country you are. Of course, you would support your country's representative.

There are analysts where they monitor every candidate, from every country's pageant like Miss *insert country* up to pre pageant, until the coronation. There's a lot of factor in monitoring who would likely to win Miss U. Talent, popularity, attitude, and how they answer q and a.

About the 'games' you're pertaining, they could bet who would win such award; who would make it to the final 10 or 5 and etc.

Fuckin hell!  ;D
Honestly, betting on beauty contest?

What metrics do you want to analyze? Face, boobs? It's difficult though since no meaningful stats here as far as I know. I mean the participants were always new right? More like a lottery IMO.

Well, there's social media now right? Organizers always make sure they create a lot of buzz before the main competition starts with all these events and interviews involving the participants. If you pay close attention, you'll probably have a better idea on who to pick.

I don’t think that Beauty Pageant/Contest is interesting for Us men(unless you are one)never in my circle of friends and also family members who’s ofcourse the Guys only,has something to do watching or entertained watching this kind.though the Girls Do always

But betting in this is entertaining I guess but will be hard for me as I am not familiar on how the pageant goes

Is it!?thats not a good idea if this is how the way works betting on this part will be controversial as Jurors have their own favorites to win and the Bets are not safe to gamble

Ahh, I see, so you just only base on the rumors and opinions spreading around. How about pre pageant (e.g. tours, photoshoots, reach out programs etc.)? I think that would be an effective source of info before choosing your bet. What do you guys think? However, this would be useless if we assume that the schedule of placing bets should only be done on or before the beauty queens gather and start to do their business. So I guess everything still depends on the rules being said by the initiator of the given betting game ;D.

This is kinda tricky if one does not know how pageants work or who to root for. These pageants may have some favorite beauties to win although for the most part, it still as random as it can get. Heck, I might just consider betting on Chili Hotdog Eating contest and other crazy stuff that appears on some bookies rather than a beauty pageant which I'm not very fond of.

Something like a beauty contest is too subjective for me to bet on.  The decisions is entirely on a panel of judges.  Instead of something like a basketball game that has a very direct and final result without much influence from a 3rd party.  Too easy for the result of this to be fixed by corrupt judges.

This is the first time that this kind of betting is existing. I never really expected that gambling has extended it's arms to be even at a beauty contests, well as long as their is to bet why the hell not. I would gladly bet in our countries beauty queen of course. Maybe I would bet on others too, in regards that our representative had lost and did not make up to the final rounds. I would try look into this betting when it is time for miss Universe, I am excited and looking forward to my first bet.

It never crossed my mind that people bet on these pageants! I just thought gals and gays just go on to viewing parties and watch and scream hysterically. I personally don't know anyone who has bet on a Ms. Universe pageant.



Even without corruption, judges have their own biases. Many times crowd favorites don't win these pageants.

I'm pretty aware of this kind of betting yet anytime theres a miss universe event.People on my country does bet against with other people p2p.
I cant see any bookies that do offer this one ever since based on my awareness. Betting would be selected directly on winner and some
awards being pulled up by a certain candidate.

I don't feel comfortable placing bets on beauty pageants. It suppose to be for a good cause and entertainment. I feel all the efforts to promote good will thru outreach programs gets tainted.

These are the issues why betting on Miss universe wouldnt be considered to be worthy due into these various reasons.
Like said about biases and other controversial decisions.Even a crowd favorite wont really give out assurance to take the crown in the end.
We can somehow see their qualities and performance,Q&A but those arent enough for you to be convinced on what would be the possible result.

I saw history of odds on nitrogenesports, and also they have some thread before here created about Miss Universe. And recently someone after your post said OneHash able to manage to include before the Miss Universe.

Because why not? The judges are also judging them and giving points base on their performance, base on their personality, base on their answers on the Question and Answer portions.

I think in some beauty pageants there are different awards such like that, crowd favorite or people's choice.

Come on guys, do you think this is the first time that biases are happening? Even in sports, there are biases already, i think it's just because there is a money involved that's why we can't escape the reality that these bias gaming is happening and all we have to is trust and respect judges decision.

No Im not experience any beauty contest gambling because just like Miss Universe in the first place we give only our bet who win but no money involve and I do not know if someone do that they gambling with the use of beauty contest. But if they have I do not know what is the criteria for them to win. Never in my mind that beauty contest can also possible to be in gambling.

If you know how to gamble in sports, for sure you will find that sportsbook also offers odds in the beauty contest, particularly the most prestigious one like the Ms. Universe. Even the Game of Thrones, there's betting on it, so it's not rate anymore as beauty contest has a lot of viewers also, sportsbook will not be tired of offering any beauty contest they think will attract bettors because they will never loss, they just live by the commission they earn.

I feel you on this one. Every constestant is beautiful in their own way and all deserves to win the spot, so I also find it hard to decide. But, when faced in such situation, my resort is to bet on the candidate representing my country so I wouldn't have the hard time to bet on other candidates.

However, if I would bet on someone apart from the one from my country, I probably would consider someone who looks unique. I mean, someone who is beautiful but fiesty at the same time. It's kinda hard to explain because it's something that I feel the moment I see the candidates. That would be my basis on looks.

Personality, on the other hand, also plays a major factor but it will require lots of efforts to know one's personality. Staying tuned on what they did and what they do would be my way to check the genuine personality. Then, there comes the wit. And I think I can see that by how the ladies speak in front of the camera which may also showcase how confident they are with themselves.

Beauty contest gambling sounds new to me but I think it's interesting to try.

Like I said, I would still bet on a beauty contest. Yes, I know little about this industry, but many things depend on luck anyway. Like in sports betting, for instance, I don't follow cricket games and I'm far from being expert in the field, but I won several bets with high odds on cricket events already.

As far as I know, politics plays a big part in decision-making on beauty contests. It's not about how a woman looks, but rather about how she talks.

The betting industry is growing and people now bring many opportunities for people to gamble and make money. I have never gamble on "beauty contests" but I have decided to follow the available beauty contests information and in my country beauty contests will take place very soon and I will try to sell this idea with them and see if we can bet on the contest.

I agree with that, we can see the improvement as there's  a lot of gambling sites that are operating in the space now.

But I would definitely disagree with you on this, gambling is an opportunity to earn but not for us, only for those who own a gambling site, our opportunity here is not to make money but to get the entertainment, that's the reality.

These are completely off for the common people I guess but I had seen many unregulated way of betting on the contenst like these from my locales not on any website and in cryptos but these results were highly manipulated by the ego of biggest companies since we never know how the contests are picked as winner since there is no measure for the beauties externally.

This should where I heard such like beauty contest gambling platforms, I thought that it was done within the beauty industry and not in the general. If I am to gamble on the basis of beauty, I will like to go for looks and popularity and nothing more. How can one get the site where this contest usually take place to get accustom with the practice.

I would've won if I know that there's also a beauty contest gambling but sad to say I didn't know that it existed so I didn't have a chance to bet Catriona Gray as the winner of Miss Universe. It sure is a hell of a win in my opinion as it is hard to know if the beauty contest contestant that you have chosen to bet will win.

And I agree with that.
IMO, in some of few things that I see from theymos, he also has a special interest in girl and bitcoin.
For example; he is admin of r/GirlsGoneBitcoin at Reddit ;D

People will bet to anything that deserves to be bet.
And girls/boy contest/sports is a good place to be earnings. So, why not?

I don’t believe there’s an existing site for beauty contest, in my years of gambling I have never heard of it and I am only reading it here for the first time but I will try and do more research on it but I want to believe is more popular in offline gambling centers.

I sincerely admit that this would be a beautiful gambling idea and I believe it will be very fair on the side of the players since the requirements for winning will be based on popularity and personality and it will now be on the side of the players to do their work and weigh who is more popular and who has a better personality. I will do anything to play on a beauty contest site if I see one because I am sure that will most definitely be favorable.

Why I put my bets with Catriona and give trust to her is just because she represent our country and I feel that she could win that time.
However, this is a some sort of trust and luck with. And I look into the next Miss Universe contest to make another bets, hopefully I will win back again.

Never really heard of beauty contest gambling. I guess the gambling viewers are the actual gamblers and not the beauty contestants?
Man, there are lots of things to gamble for in this world.


I guess you mean standards or templates for determining a winner. They probably will consider beauty, honesty, intelligence, respect, etc

The problem is that it is really subjective and unless you know the preference of the judges you will be at a disadvantage for betting.  This event is too easy to rig compared to sport matches which would be really obvious.

That’s why it cannot be considered as  gambling materials,actually how can we expect a fair result when every contest controversy happens.i believe that there is a strict reason why candidates don’t speak after every pageant but we can feel that there’s something inside them .
Just recently when Steve Harvey not intentionally mistaken the call for miss Pia Wortzback happens is a example that it’s easy to manipulate the judging(though I respect how Steve ask for apology)

Anyway I am not into betting in Pageant gambling,I rather bet for NFL than this one lol

Woa, I would like to say this is really quite impressive because it’s very rare to still see gambling as a platform for entertainment these days. Almost every player believes it’s an avenue to make money and the irony of it is that they keep on loosing.

I believe one word many gamblers hate to hear is knowing that the casino houses are meant to make the money and they feel the money should be for players instead and to me seems really awkward. Like, they provided the fun, so what should be their benefit. Players should be sincere to admit they get entertained gambling, if they can accept this then everyone would gamble for fun and be wise in playing to avoid excessive loses.

How can they measure beauty? Being chubby will be awful for some people and really liked by other people but miss universe are not getting any chubby contestants so it means every chubby girl is ugly?

Nah its a big political game.

I didn't know there was this kind of bet, but when it comes to gambling then of course there will be risks and greed is always there whenever it is. So this is just a different type of betting but basically gambling will have the same structure to choose and predict, but ultimately it is a lucky factor that will be the main for your winnings.

Not a fan of pageants but even if I am, I ain't betting. There's so much happening backstage that it makes it VERY hard to predict who would win. One round Ms. So And So seems to be a great contender and then just after a swimsuit change or Q&A, she's gone. So much politics and backstabbing (even heard stories of contestants finding their clothes with runs or their shoes missing).

Very different from sports where (most of the time) there's no denying who won. I'd rather play dice than bet on a pageant contestant.

It rarely happens that there is betting on a beauty contest, as far as I know, I did not hear this that having contest maybe there is one concept of choosing a winner, who will be won the crown and also have won in a beauty contest. However, this is very easy to have to bet on someone else in the beauty contest. Indeed, it is likely no possible.

I would really like to see some more BITCOIN coverage of this competitions so hopefully a BITCOIN accepting site or exchange will offer odds
We all have a interest by the comments in here so there has to be many other people who have same interest in betting

I do like to watch these beauty and Miss world / Miss Universe contests but never think of betting on them.




You are right that these beauty contests are not fair and most of them are pre-decided of who will be  the winner. There is lot of politics involved in it and I don't think anyone would like to bet on these competitions.

"Beauty" is very subjective. Even without the intrigue and manipulation, not everyone would be able to agree on the choice of winner. With sports you can rate the athletes based on their performance and be able to make a decent prediction on how the game would go.

Surely everything Will make it happen to win any beauty contest it is very important to have these qualities such as honesty and respect. You can bet for it but make sure you have knowledge about this field and you know all rules and regulation if you have this then you can enjoy a peaceful contest in beauty contest betting.

I think Miss Universe could be an option, there are lots of gambling activities about who will get the beauty crown. but to gamble
online for that, honestly I've never done it, let alone using crypto. which sites offer gambling like that? I'm ready to gamble

With that, it's easier to pick when you already seen the talents of each beauty queens who able to get inside the top 5, it's hard to pick from the beginning as the competitions really have to look for factors that will excel each participants from one another, you need to really have a good look from the beauty and talents of whoever candidate you are fully supporting.

I have not tried betting on a beauty contest. I really find it odd, even if we are talking of the Miss Universe. There are simply too many participants to be able to do some good analysis. And besides, we can hardly have enough idea as to the particular standards of beauty the judges have. After all, beauty contests are more subjective than objective. I mean everybody must be pretty and sexy for sure.

By the way, I find it funny how gambling can offer as weird as beauty contest betting. I've just also found out on another thread that there is such a thing as betting on politics. Gambling is pretty surprising.

Lol, exactly my friend.  People tend to like the "endowed",  beautiful and humble girls (for marriage Ofcourse) where I live, and all of a sudden more people began to like the "skinny ones" probably due to exposure to other cultures in real life and tv/virtual world.
I actually like the skinny figure but I sometimes wonder if I got this preference because I was influenced by the world and not the natural preference I was born with?

I bet if most beauty pageants start preferring the "endowed ones" people will begin to like the endowed. It is such a strange world :)

So funny then to be considered as metrics for BOOBS 😂🤪

Anyway the best question is which pageant should be the one to bet on!Miss Universe?if does then this will be a fight against each country’s because for sure one will support he’s countrymen (unless their candidate is not that competitor the competition)😅

Fulfilling your gambling desire is one thing, but earning money is entirely another. I hate to say it, but our chances of earning money with betting on a beauty contest are close to zero. We can always win because of big luck though. That's why I said I would bet on a girl I liked, first of to fulfill my gambling desire, and secondly to have a chance of winning. Because, as they say, you will never win a lottery without buying a ticket. But it's still a lottery, don't forget about that. We cannot count on making money with it.

I think common sense will even let us know that this kid of gambling is expected to be manipulated. Beauty contest on its own is always a place of manipulation, where  there are no major criteria to choosing a winners except by connection how much more the gambling. That will definitely be the headquarter of untruthfulness.

Well, I have never seen a gambling place for beauty contest, not even online or offline, I was a bit amazed to have known about this but then I would still not partake if I see one. It even better when it is done in an offline casino house. I really do not understand how the winner would be picked.

I have heard about this beauty gambling a little bit. But never went there to bet. Anyways, I am interested in it. I would like to learn.

I haven't joined any beauty contest gambling since I'm more into sports gambling or casino gambling. But, whenever there is a contest just like that, I will vote for Ms. Philippines. Since she is representing my country and she needs support that's why. Anyway, there are 2 b's that the Philippines is great at, Boxing and Beauty Contest ;).

Lol this is not election and also you are not the judged so there’s no need for your vote here,what needed is you bet if ever there’s a gambling that happen in either Miss Universe or other Pageant that represented the whole world
But I doubt that this will happen since there are too many issues in regards to voting and some bias decisions from the judges and management as well

Agree, but there are times that you have a bit of clue who’s gonna win because they have updates who’s the crowd favorite they also have Q&A during interviews thus you can see which one has a smart answer so I think it is not that hard to predict whose gonna win. As for sports, I agree it is easier to predict because you can base it on the statistics and also on the performance the team shown on the game so pretty much easy compared to pageants.

Even with the top 5 it is not easy to pick the winner for miss world. They do not only look at the figure and features of the girls. They also see which of those girl is confident and intelligent. The last question answer round is the one which makes the difference because not all good looking girls can speck fluently and confidently.

Sorry for my misuse of words. I'll bet* for Ms. Philippines :). But remember that in betting you are somewhat like voting for what team you are in favor of ;).

I agree that there could be some issues of being biased on one contestant. But, this could be a good gambling since the whole world is on their feet for their choice of the Miss Universe or any other pageants.

It might not be political since those that know so well about beauty pageant will understand all that is needed. I feel everything gambling is a risk and this is the same thing that would happen to those partaking in this kind of betting, the chances of winning should be easier because the criteria for winning a beauty pageant is always stated  but at the same time, it will still be a 50/50 chance game.

I have not seen beauty pageant bet before but I would try to play if I ever see knowing that winning will be easier than Poker or dice games. The best games for now are still sports betting. Every other gambling is still learning.

Not really a 50/50 change game yet we know the no. of participants joining up the contest.Yes, we know the criteria but there are lots of factors that do affect such winning chance. Question and answer question portion answer is one of it, it does mainly affect contestants chances of winning.We wont know if they would got mental block midway and might the reason on such loss no matter how good they are on looks or talents.
