Title: The Marble League: a great alternative to traditional sports for betting (?)
Post by: kryptqnick on May 19, 2020, 08:20:19 AM
Hi everyone! So I've just watched Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and it was dedicated to sports. As we know, Bundesliga was pretty much the first major professional football league to resume the games. However, there's still a lot of concern on whether it's safe even under the restrictions, not to mention that football games without fans are quite weird. On the show, I've heard about something that sounded more like a joke, but turned out very engaging to me: the Marble League. It's basically marbles going down various tracks and commentators following the game. You can take a look at an example of the race on their official YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3S5bHEcmeg). I don't know about you, but I'd be willing to bet on those marbles with BTC, at least for the time being. What's your impression? If there's community's interest in this, perhaps major crypto sports books might be interested in picking this up (it seems that Nitrogen Sports offered betting on their event in April).
The problem is that their season starts in a month (of the 21 of June), so maybe this won't be relevant then?

Personaly, I'm not interested, this doesn't look attractive enough for me. I'm fan of sports betting. It's true, the offer is very bad now and it's hard to tell for how long this is going to last and what will happen next but I'm willing to wait.
Although, I'm sure that there'll be members of community who will show interest for this alternative, if we can call it so.

Is this like those marbles that's racing in the sands? Damn, that's a race that's very satisfying to watch. We may not have the same references but it's a good alternative IMO just to fulfill your needs to bet and at the same time it's very entertaining to me for real.
By the way, indoor sports without fans isn't weird but we have to accept that it's going to be the new norm this time. In Taiwan, they still continue their sports event without fans but displays of mannequins and people drawn on card boards stands as the fans.
