I was watching my favorite streamer MoistCr1tikal doing a side commentary on a Slapping Tournament, and what caught my eye was that it was sponsored by Totalbet, which means that it is a viable betting although I find it easy to bet if you have prior knowledge about who slaps the hardest. Are there any betting site that has this for betting?

I also watching Slapping tournament from youtube for months now but i have not seen any crypto related site that offers betting for this.

But i would be happy if others will provide if they have already tried betting and the legitimacy of the Site.

Thats "Vasiy Kamotski" The Russian Slapping Champion .

Myself too watch this often, but there isn't anything universal. Only participants from limited number of countries can be seen. Maybe thats the reason why the betting access on these tournaments weren't available with most of our cryptocurrency accepted gambling sites. Look Totalbet being a sponsor adds its to their platform. Likewise when some of the cryptocurrency accepted platform conduct the tournament it gets added.

I’ve seen videos of women’s competitions that are pretty brutal. Some of those ladies look more like models than fighters. It’s hard to imagine that anyone would subject themselves to this, or that they don’t go permanently deaf after a competition. You can deny it’s not entertaining though. I just hope they are well paid. Before learning where to bet on it, I’d wonder where you can even watch it live.

Same reason that people are participating in Boxing Matches, Lethwei, Muay Thai, MMA, and Vale Tudo Karate, they are there for the sports. I mean those martial arts tournament that I have mentioned are probably more dangerous than just slapping tournament.

I will never understand the point of this "sport".It is fun to watch but I wonder how these guys do not get mad after so many slapping and start an even more brutal fight.Even ladies do this and I found it ugly for women to beat each other.

How's this any different to Women's UFC or Men's UFC, it is literally a bloodbath there so I don't see the point of it not being fun as a tournament. They subjected themselves to this matches because they themselves enoy this.

thats him now ? he got fatter and got more hair in his beard .
 this guy is always staring in the slapping videos that i came across in social medias . no one can win over him

and there are girl version of this ? it can be brutal because women are expert in slapping and you cannot expect that slap power by judging their physical appearances but participants that are involved on this game are professionals and are paid well

This is the way they earn money. If they get mad and start a brawl, they will get banned from that "sport", meaning loosing their job.
I this is just a freak show, this is not a sport at all, even though there are judges, rules and etc. The mismatch in weight class makes this tournament absurd. The guy with a bigger weight and thickest neck always win.
Dont know why this is fun to watch, it is similar to two drunk guys tries to figure out if one can knock out with a slap the other guy. YouTube is full of videos like that.

LOL, this must be one of the dumbest competitions I have ever seen, along with the burrito eating contests. There is something to be said about a society that tends to make a competition of even the most simple facts or activities of life. I think it is much related to being bored of the activities... People just find that, for example, gardening is not fun enough, so they need to make a gardening competition.

Human will found many ways about how to make money and they use slapping tournament to make money. Yes, that is a brutal tournament for some people. I hope kids do not watch that tournament because if they watch that, they can follow with their friends. But well, maybe that sports popular on some area because I think that is different than any other sports.

I don't really think this is counted as one even? It's just a tournament that people made for the heck of it afaik. Might turn into one in the near future, but verrryy low chance of happening since, well, it's people slapping each other.

Hey, it's the dumb things that people enjoy... for some reason. I enjoy it once or twice maybe, but not really in the long run, unlike those sports that have stood against time. Now those, no matter how many times I watch, would still 100% enjoy.

I've watched some videos of this tournament and I don't know where it originated. I haven't seen a casino that supports this type of tournament or has it listed on their books.
Being odd, I'm sure we have a lot to see for such tournaments that aren't normal.

I've watched several videos of it and so far have enjoyed all of it especially Vasily's match with Wagner Zuluzinho(here's a link for reference The Dumpling vs Wagner Zuluzinho. Stone faces in Jail. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5DhR1G6BJI&t=1068s)). regarding betting, I guess you'll only see it on a few online sportsbetting site or probably local online sports betting platforms just like other sports or tournaments that don't really have a large fandom.

although I agree, at least this is far more entertaining than a gardening tournament or burrito eating tournament.

Slapping tournament seems growing and I've watch many videos before but I'm not thinking for any betting site not until I saw this thread. This can be a great new tournament to place your bet though it seems like, the big guy will always win against his opponents, they're fighting like no mercy at all. Let's see if crypto gambling site will notice this kind of tournament, for now its hard to find gambling site to place your bet on Slapping tournament.

I doubt that any gambling site would provide betting on slapping, as this is totally unpredictable kind of sport. Also, is this even legal? Does this kind of tournaments happens regular or is there a schedule ? What about this even being fair? Organizer can easy set a fake match and etc. Last but not least - are there doctors on such tournaments? I doubt that a jaw can be broken by a slap, but a crooked slap can damage eye or ear membrane.

Slapping tournament is one the entertaining sports that I've seen aside from motorcycle racing, though at some point, I find it very risky because we're talking about slapping here that both players don't defend their head except for gritting their teeth to avoid getting knocked out or injured. Also, without proper training, a slap could lead to a certain death.

I've witnessed a fight here in our country which was a truck driver has been slapped by his enemy and he died instantly in that slap. The doctor said the brain was damage by the impact of the slap.

the First time i watched this  it made me feel funny because of the concept , and i did not realized that even slapping can be a competition because since young i believe that slapping is only for woman and not for males.

But now getting deeper into this? I'm starting to like this and will be willing to bet once there is a crypto site that offers this betting .

I watched some videos on a slapping myself, it looks funny but also brutal. So far I am unaware of any betting on that kind of sports. The biggest problem I saw in the matches I watched is that there seems to be no real weight categories for the fighters. So there were matched some heavy big dudes against much smaller guys which seems a bit unfair. Also I am not sure how the rules are exactly because it seems that one guy was hitting more onto the ear rather than the cheek, which is much harder because you can lose your balance like that.

This is such a crazy sport. I have seen this guy several times in the social media and YouTube, It somehow gave me interest in watching this slapping tournament, because this guy could literally knock his opponent cold with just 1 slap.
This is the kind of sport where I don't want to put a bet on but still enjoy watching it. It does not give me thrills, but I love watching these guys slapping each other very hard.
Dang! This could seriously damage your brain in the long run.

Actually, he has been beaten. He lost against a Vyacheslav Zezulya. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqc1zLG0_hA
You can fast-forward to Zezulya's slap at 00:50. Vasiy Kamotskiy had to be helped off the stage as he could barely stand on his feet.

Slapping tournaments are popular in Russia. I would first look for local sportsbooks from Russia if I wanted to find a place to bet on this.

It's not much different from boxing, this one is even lighter because we don't see blood... so even children can watch it: D
But I understand that getting slapped and not fighting back at the same time (just like getting punched in boxing) requires a lot of self-control.

I didn't find any bookmakers for this "sport"... crypto or fiat.

Wow, that guy looks like a tank - one slap would be enough to knock most people right out. As for these strange and unusual "sports", it would be interesting to see more betting sites support such events, as long as they have a big enough following and impartial judges that cannot be easily corrupted. "Red Bull" sponsors a lot of these weird and wacky events, like the box car derby and the air race world championship. Does anyone know of any bitcoin sportsbook that allows these sort of events, surely there must be one or two? If not that could definitely be a unique selling point for any new gambling site.

That kind of tournament isn't entertaining for me.

There's no way also that I will put up a bet on that game if ever there's betting to it.

And I don't see any pre-game information on that match. I gave some time to put up research and don't see any betting on it online on either fiat or crypto sportsbook. Maybe the betting was done directly at the venue.

Needs a lots of concentration to control yourself while accepting the heavy slap that being thrown to you.

It's more on trying to stand still even the pressure is really hard, not saying that I'm not enjoying this but I just saw some shared post  from
my social media account with this kind of sport.

Just watch a little and move forward not really attract my attention that much.

This will be the most random sport ever that will grace the sports betting scene (if ever a bookie has to offer odds of it on a platform). Vasiliy Komatski is one of the most well-known player of this sport, yet even so, there are still a lot of hard hitters and durable contenders that can outmatch and withstand the power that the current no. 1 contender has in his arsenal. It's a fun tournament and "sport" to watch, at times even better than the UFC itself, but I think it will take a lot of time before it gains traction and recognition from bookies and gambling platforms alike.

Hm, they can watch it and they will replicate it with their friends, which can be bad for them because they will not be able to control their emotions, which can trigger a fight between them.

Sooner or later, if that "sports" can be popular than now, the gambling website or bookmarkers will try to add that "sport" to their website to attract more people to bet on that "sports."

slapping competition is still not well known...
I've seen it on YouTube and this competition is only available in a few countries, I don't know whether a competition like this is suitable for betting because analyzing who will be the winner is quite easy, you only have to choose those who have a large body and also a strong slap.

Slapfighting sport I see that I want to laugh at myself seeing the action of slapping sports content, yes it is also classified as a unique sport, The tournament is currently one of the most popular sports in the world, many people are placing bets on both “monster” duels, Lately more viewers are watching this sport, rather than boxing, it's fun.

https://zizihub.com/176d95.jpg

For now slapping fights become content that has its own appeal like kingkong who bets, the world of sports does have its own way of entertaining the world community.

I am not fond of these types of sports and find it quite absurd that two person face each other on table and blows slaps on opponents face until one of them gets down or quite the game.They also put chalk powder in thier hands to show the strength of their slap as chalk dust make it look more powerful.The competition is organised for both males and females and their is cash prize for them which slap winner takes home.


The Russian competitor Vasiliy Khamotiskiy, who is nicknamed "Dumpling," is most popular champion in this competition who has also gone in comma for short period of time but again participating in slapping competition.This was my first encounter with this sport when I came across one of the video on Facebook and was really surprised to watch a man ruthlessly slapping the other guy and he faints immediately.


I don't understand the sole purpose of this game but people develop different taste and new games for entertainment and money will be the main point for participants after all.

I know this tournament since penguinz0 (https://www.youtube.com/user/penguinz0) often did the commentary. He should be the official commentator/host there, lol.
Aside from Vasily Kamotsky, Darius "the Destroyer" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDsodkQMUq8) is also pretty popular.

Yes, there is betting on this. However, I only know punchdown - totalbet.

PS: this is not "for laugh" competition, but very serious, just like arm wrestling.

When i read the title of your thread "Slapping tournament" i also immediately thought about MoistCr1tikal and his videos that he makes about this crazy "sport" :). I couldn't find any betting website that offers bets on slapping events though and i also think it is pretty unlikely that this will change in the future. Those face slappers themself say that it is not a sport but an event for fun. I also read that the winner gets a price pool of 30k rubel which are around 400 dollars. So this sports needs to become more professional first before we see some reputable gambling sites will add bets on slapping championships to their portfolio  :).

That is the very same thing that I was wondering, we know that this is the kind of game that people like to play when they're drunk and I find it incredibly funny that people do this in a kind of a professional way but when you think about it this is to be expected, however before I even consider to make a bet in any kind of event like this I would like to know where you can find a live stream that allows you to see those competitions because by the looks of it it seems that is something that is completely hilarious.

I watched this kind of rare tournament on the internet where the hardest slaps will knock out their opponents. I don't think that this kind of game will attract bettors because everything can be a role play because it is a sure thing that you gonna hit your opponent in where they will be knockout. This is not like boxing where things are rarely to be like that, where someone is given the opportunity to hit his opponent in the face. Things might be changed if a higher bet is on the table.

I've watched this game before and according to my understanding you're right that the rule of the game is the player who can knock out the opponent will win. It's similar to boxing but in here you just need to slap and players are alternate in snapping until someone knock out. 
For me the best technique in this game is you need to know who is slap the hardest.

What would you expect?

People would really find out things which they can really make something out of it even with the simpliest and most common things that we are doing in life.They would really be adding some spice

to make it look cool and a bit interesting.I cant really blame those who do built up the idea because it isnt really a bad thing after all.If it turns out that it isnt really interesting for you

then you can just simply skip out and find for another one.Im aware with this slapping contest since its particularly famous on youtube or on net but i dont know if there
are betting with this one.

Indeed.  I repeat my curiosity.  Where can someone watch this sport live?  I haven't ever seen it on ESPN or ESPN2, or even ESPN8 "the ocho" so besides youtube videos I would have no idea how to watch how my bet is doing.  Not that I think there is some huge conspiracy and if I made a bet the outcome would be altered online or something.  I just don't see the point in gambling if you aren't getting extra excitement watching the event from it.  

https://images.dailyhive.com/20170804093914/espn-8-ocho-1024x525.jpg

The first I watch that slapping competition, I was really entertained. Fun to watch those supposed tank but can beaten by an average built.

But for the purpose of gambling, I will skip doing it as I don't see any significance why should I bet on that. It's for entertainment purposes only but not treating to be part of my usual gambling activity. I'd rather bet and focus to my expertise sports compared to that.

When it comes to these kind of tournament then you can actually tell on whose the one will win basing off with the stats on how they do slap out other people in the tourney.
You are definitely right that this isnt something to be worth on making out bets yet its a bit predictable on whose gonna win and i agree that this is just good for entertainment.
I dont know why people do find it to be worth on making out bets with this one.I would rather choose up those typical sports where you can make out bets since there
are lots of teams or players which you can make out bet and the game isnt really that near predictable.

I followed some Youtube and page about slapping, and this is one of the hardest sports I've seen because they are openly taking it, unlike on other contact sports you only get hit if you are caught by punches and kicks, but here you are taking the slap and you should be prepared to take.

I remember watching one slapping tournament one competitor has to snip an ammonia just to get back in the competition after getting a big slap in the face.

There's some issues about this one:
https://www.totalprosports.com/2019/05/24/youtuber-logan-paul-just-killed-a-man-in-a-slap-contest-video/

Didnt literally killed but almost into that situation and this is why this kind of sport cant really be considered to be that way because of these kind of risk.
Yes, its entertaining to watch but you know about the probabilities.

I've spotted this too. Only certain countries, in fact I only have seen Russians do this type of tournament. So maybe indeed this type of 'sport' is still growing on people and this is why the crypto hasn't caught up with it yet. It is too small of a niche, but one that could potentially be profitable  ???

Agree with you here. At first glimpse, it seems that boxing is more brutal, because, in the end, it can be far more traumatizing, but as you watch both, the slapping contest turns out to be more difficult to watch. Probably, the main factor here is that the opponent can't defend him/herself, they just stand there and wait for the slap. Also, a slap on the face has a hint of embarrassment, which makes this even more maddening sometimes, than the real fight. The looks on their faces says it all, I guess, especially in the girls' contests :D

Ahh yes, the Moist god, more and more countries are engaging in these slapping tournaments which I believed originated from Russia. So far I have yet to see a person that hits or slaps harder than Dumpling himself, For sure there are underground betting and gambling that takes place either in the venue or during the livestream among bars and/or friends who watch the fight altogether, this will spark a new form of sports betting if continued.

I have no knowledge of any crypto betting site which offers odds for slapping tournaments. But I didn't really look for it, anyway.

The first time I saw videos on this, I was surprised this kind of sports-- if it can be considered one-- exists. One thing I noticed was that there are no weight classes. Correct me if I'm wrong, though. But I once saw a video of a relatively small man pitted against a very large man. I was thinking, how in hell could this little dude with little hands win against a tall fat man in a slapping tournament?

TBH, this is the first time that I heard this tournament "at all" and for me its kinda like awkward and even more awkward that they are doing a tournament where they will hurt each other in slapping.

I might watch a few youtube videos regarding this and will see their reaction but just thinking of the tournament itself. I find it inappropriate at some point and thinking that some of these contestants might injure their head or their neck because of this. Either way, I don't blame them if they really want to join.

Yeah That's Him now and yes His Palm is really out of this world, he can crash a Watermelon in single Slam as iN Crashed !!!

In all sports mate there is always accident and every game in Sports are risky , It is your faith to live or die in sports that you choose , so if you don't wanna risk your life then never get involved in Sports thats it.

So, I have a noob question. Has there been any overlap between arm wrestling and the sport of Slapping? Have any athletes transferred from arm wrestling to slapping the shit outa people?

I've seen this sleeping tournament in facebook and youtube a few years back and it seems unique and entertaining. I guess this new form of sport originated in Russia, however I find this risky since some players becom unconcious during the march and some participants are really huge. Players take turn slapping each other until some one get's  K'Oed or the other competitor surrenders. There is also a female version of this competition, I am just not sure if there is a betting platform that caters this kind of new sport.

^ This sport is very amusing to watch. It is just that, the risk is always there.  I was watching it on Facebook. This is becoming very famous now. But I don’t think this would grow to a large-scale sport that will be considered by the sports bookmaker. If you were able to watch the fights, the Russian guy is actually nailing it. Being slapped 30times in a row, I could not imagine the pain in that. But you will see how much impact he makes every time it is his turn, their skull could collapse with the strength and becoming strongly knocked out.

I have seen this on my feeds promoters are promoting this on social media, I don't like the sports, the participants are defenseless they are slapped openly and they revive the participants by making them inhale ammonia if ever this sport become popular, it will become one of the brutal sports because participants are defenseless and openly hit, and just absorb it.

It's like boxing I guess. Science proves and continues to give even more evidence that there is permanent brain, ear and eye damage from the way the head is shocked from all those blows with nerves even going out of place. I mean, boxers suffer concussions on a regular basis it feels almost such a cruel game to be entertained by (but we are).

Slapping seems cruel too... but it is fun to watch. I don't know how to view this:)

I heard ages ago that this "sport" existed, but never followed it specifically either.

Because you mentioned the risk of injury ... I don't think that the risk of getting injured is different from, for example, boxing or so-called cage fights. The players know what they are getting into and are happy to accept the risk.

I think this is for female and Male slapping masters right? i have watched in Youtube about two woman in platform that performing this slapping but i don't know if that is competition or just their revenge for each other.

slapping is dumb because they are hurting one another . some sports do hurt each other but they have more sense than slapping .
eating burrito can be enjoyable if your a contestant and your hungry and it doesnt hurt anybody but you can amaze the audience if you can finish large portion of foods in a fastest time   .
 besides eating burrito theres also hotdog eating contest and my idol to this is matt stonie  . the guy has a youtube channel that i watch as he ate other foods .

thanks to the video and to the info . i will start watching and looking at russian gambling sites if they have this .

Is Totalbet a legit gambling in crypto site? is this what you are pointing? https://totalbet.ro/ if does i can't see that it's accepting Cryptocurrency? or i am just missing something? thanks for enlightenment .

---

I am a Fan of this sports because I love seeing their Ears turn to red over the time  ;D and also How hard their slaps enters each faces of opponents.

Wish there are legit Crypto gambling site that offers betting for this sport.

I only see this in youtube and facebook but not interested to follow or watch more about it since its so painful sports which I cannot take to bet, maybe I should pass on this and bet on real sports since I really cannot take to see someone collapse after receiving a big slap on the face.

I totally agree, and I have to admit that at first I thought it was some kind of joke, but now that I see that it really exists I wonder if there is anything at all that people wouldn’t do for money? Should the opponent be knocked to the floor with a slap or is there some other measure that determines who hit whom harder?

Speaking of weird competitions, here’s one interesting collection, believe it or not people really have too much free time when they come up with things like this ;D

https://www.stadiumtalk.com/s/worlds-strangest-sports-a8bef81c8b8941b3

perhaps they are really trained for that sports in my opinion and of course there are some rules to follow as well and anyone who will break it will be disqualified immediately like what others sports always happened such boxing and ufc. Indeed this is very brutal sports so it should be like that as well. And also there's no way this player didn't get mad after so many slaps on this kind of sports.. Just don't have choice that's why they need to hold their temper? Lol

As for me, it promotes brutality so I would prefer betting on sports that possess entertainment. I find it risky for players who participate in this kind of game because it could cause too much injury. There are better sports that are worth betting on.

That's what I'm talking about and no matter how strong you are, if you are getting so many open hits like this, even though you are the champion of the tournament you gonna fall to sleep if you are hit so hard by your opponent. Base on the advertisement on social media, so far there was no weight class. as long as you can slap like them, you are good to go. That's why we have seen lots of them are falling due to disadvantage in their weight. More weight = More Power.

I think Muay Thai Sports is more deserving to be listed in sportsbooks compared to this slapping Tournament.

All I can say, this is too boring, Muay Thai on the other hand has more to offer. Fighting styles, pieces of training, experience, and counter. Meaning to say that strength isn’t the only thing you had to weigh compared to Slapping Tournament.

But honestly, I don’t see the point Slapping Tournament should exist. This is a very boring competition, the contenders are mostly douchebags (sorry for the words). I was able to see a man joined this with a muscled implanted and I really found it gross and I pity the man.

I agree, there's no style here I don't see any art here, the guy is just standing there ready to get a slap, without any defense at all, what do they want to achieve, all you need is a hard face that can withstand a slap, I believe it's very popular in Russia I don't see many countries engage in slapping tournament, and I don't see it becoming popular.

Woww, I just found out that the slapping tournament contains bets. Is it so easy to guess who won? because in my opinion this slapping is just not like a wrestling tournament, has techniques and so on. If the slap tournament was based solely on slapping with all your might, this must be very easy to guess right?

Agree on this one where I don't see any interesting on slapping out other peoples faces and you don't need to do something but to make yourself survive on every slap on the other people would do.

Im much aware with this video or tournament but this one would be good on local Russia and same as mentioned on where I don't see this thing do goes outside the boarders.

Wont be surprised if this one wont really become that popular globally but honestly this is really a bit interesting to look at and a bit brutal.

It's not promoting brutality but a new way of sports, for them. There are people who don't like that idea but you just have to ignored it if you found it bad as others on the other hand are being entertained.

Players joining and participating here are already aware that they will experience an injury. These guys do conditioning beforehand and not just will enter the arena as it is.

The only reason that there are no crypto gambling platforms that offers to bet on this kind of event is that the Slapping Tournament still isn't considered to be a sport in many countries nor is being done by all countries. To make this an official sport and to be betted on, there should be many countries that would have and consider this as a sport or there are tons of participants. For now, Komatski is the champion and there are very less people to do this sport nor dare to oppose him. Therefore it would be an easy bet right?

I have seen something similar, two people standing opposite like arm wrestling and then he punch the shit out of each other unless one quit and it looks like really brutal as it is straight punches to the face and you cannot even defend them. I guess slapping competition is similar and to be frank it is difficult to know who is going to win even if you know who has the hardest slap as these small tournaments can be rigged.

Slapping tournament betting. 
This is quite new and what makes interesting is that this is lijely something not too make sense as a tournament,  but it can be a tournament.  And the athletes are skillful.  Alongside this way, this entertaining tournament could catch our attention in how that player slapped so seriously like being angry with the rival :D

I have not encountered it in any gambling nor it was promoted here in the gambling section, I consider this a brutal sports because you are getting hit without protection or a way to duck the slap you are accepting it and giving it without protection for you and your opponent and there's no protection on your hands and your face either, slaps could hurt more than a punch, really don't like this kind of sports.

As I pointed out before in this thread though, I can think of at least one sport (boxing) that for sure causes much more injury than this. Even I would guess kickboxing and MMA how many people can you think of that have all their teeth?:)

One more thing even WWE which is not real wrestling but entertainment, they have bad injuries too even though we know it's all for fun.

Vasiy Kamotski is very famous for this, i don't know why his videos are feed to my facebook account so I've seen these slapping faces all the time. It's a horrible fight when you know exactly that you are about to get wreck in just millisecond a palm is going to land on your jaw.


probably done underground. its not found in totalbet either. probably because it's not a sport at all.

I love Muay Thai and I would go and say that it is a criminally underrated sports that needs to have its highlights because this is the definition of blood sport for me next to Lethwei. You may get bored with slapping tournaments but people are flocking towards it and you know that in terms of market, trend is a thing that we shouldn't disregard.

I have to disagree on this. It's extremely entertaining, it has its favorites as well as its newcomers, and it's not really prone to injury that much considering oh, I don't know, MMA, Kickboxing, Boxing, Muay Thai, American Football, Rugby, Wrestling, Grappling, or even Soccer (yes, that's right, Soccer as it comes with its fair share of slide in knee and leg related injuries, and also has head trauma from ball to head contact).

I enjoyed Vasily Pelmen when he competes in Slapping contests. Also the atmosphere of brotherhood can be seen on each fight. It is like a friendly match inside the fraternity hall. I have not heard of any platforms that accepts betting for that. If Totalbet will sponsor this and add this to their roster then that would be a good add. I think this is a relatively a new sport or kind of sport like boxing or karate or taekwondo but if this "bettable" then it definitely needs to big sponsor.

Slapping tournaments can't be compared with Muay Thai, as you both said about Muay Thai, it's a fighting sport, you need to train for that, a lot of practice for speed and strength... while for slapping tournaments you only need strength! So you put two big guys on each side and you watch who will slap harder, and who will endure longer... I watched it a few times, just for laughs. It's not something I would place bets on, maybe just for fun... like when I am with some friends and we will place bets on our favorites! Nothing big, for fun and laughing...
I also watched some women slapping... some of them are even funnier!

I watch from time to time slapping contest on youtube and it is fun to watch  ;D. Didn't place a bet yet on these competitions, but I would always choose Vasiy Kamotski to win. I don't think he ever lost a match yet. His slabs are powerfull and he can absorb the slabs of his opponent quite easily.

Aaaa, well, you are half right. Slapping does require much less technical proficiency and a lot less practice than any other combat sport (not saying this is a combat sport, but since we are comparing), but that does not mean you can just come off the street and expect to slap someone into oblivion just by using power. Slapping is the same as throwing a hook in standup (MMA, Boxing, Kickboxing...), you can have power, but if you do not know how to generate power from the ground up and lean into the punch with your whole body, your perceived power will not translate, and if you are up against someone that is in the same weight class as you, their chin might hold up. It's more in a sense of early MMA where Bas Rutten used technique and power to knock out opponents with palm strikes as direct punching was not allowed in Pancrase.

I've seen some youtube videos on this kind of tournament, however, I don't think there are some gambling sites that offer to bet on this, correct me if I'm wrong.  ;D.. for me, this is not a fun sport, haha.. I just find it so disturbing that anyone could be seriously ill once the one who slaps is really strong. I doubt this is even called a sport. 

This must be a Game for a disputed people , meaning those who has personal problem to each other will participate and release their anger to each other while doing this slapping .
isn't it cool to make two things in a row?

you can release your anger while being a participants and may win prizes also?  ;D ;D ;D

I agree with your first point. Although, I'm not sure I could say this is undeserving because its boring. I mean, I find Golf a absolute bore to watch, I'd rather go paint the Garage, and I hate painting, but a lot of people find it relaxing, and nice to watch. While the slapping competitions can be interesting to watch, I've found myself like many others down the Youtube hole watching these various slapping competitions, just because I'm surprised that a guy who's expecting a massive slap in the face, still gets knocked out by a slap. Although, I must admit most tend to be punches disguised as a slap.

Where does one even watch a slapping contest on TV rather than just replays on Youtube? 

Haha, this is cool, but would a person allow himself to be hit? I think it's too risky especially if you are so physically fit to do this. This only for people with a strong face or chin, as they can accept this heavy slap.



If there's a prize involve, it's already a sport.

People compete in rock-paper-scissors for a something (like prize), but this is not a sport  :D

Slapping tournament is an event for those who dont have balls to step in the ring/octagon. Like TheNineClub told - slap is similar to a hook. If a person could throw a hook, then he might know how to box, but somehow this person is afraid to do it. This is not a sport; just an entertainment for those who could pay for it.

I dont know why people like to watch slapping contests. There are barely tactics and skills in it. Just slap, then receive yours and repeat, or win. Primitive entertainment.

Well, I beg to disagree on that. The matches that I have watched so far were actually just players who compete and has no grudges with each other. This is a sport where sportsmanship is tested to the limit. That is because of the violent nature of the game, then it is normal for the organizers to have something that would ensure safety to the players and also to avoid possible lawsuits.  Imagine the raw power they show on each and every slap? The contestants are really able to pull this off despite not having any issues with the opponent.

if there is nothing else to watch this will serve to be fun. its usually not fair however if one small man is matched to someoene big. one slap could get him unconcious and never have the chance to say goodbye to the cruel world.

nope this is not a sport, i dont think there will be regulating body for this. its just sort of a game for russsians whenever winter comes and they are bore.

I don't also don't consider this as a sport, it's more of gambling to me, it's hard to watch the matches because both participants are defenseless and they are not ducking and it's all goes on how has tough the face is, and how strong the participants slap.

Since they are born in Russia where they are betting because of boredom, who knows a gambling site might include it if it gains popularity.

I'm also watching this event and every time I saw the match my jaw is getting hurt even I'm not a participant of this event lol it gives a lot of videos and documentaries about their trading of the upcoming slapping competition like slapping the fruits and imagine how it becomes destroyed.

For now, I've never been seeing a gambling website or platform supporting this tournament or event but mostly on the venue there are under the table or even a legal transaction of bets within the contestant but it's different if it's online.

I only saw some clips about this tournament on social media,
Not really a huge fan but I kinda enjoy it a bit,
At first I thought it was just for their fun or what but it turns out to be a tournament I couldn't believe it at first .

This slapping tournament really got me interested in it. Youtube recommends me one of the slapping tournament videos because I am watching UFC fights there. If this is categorized as a sport, Well it's pretty cool for me and I am having fun watching it. For others, this tournament is pretty brutal for them but UFC, Wrestling, and other martial arts sports are pretty brutal as well.

I have the same question, Is there any betting site catering to this kind of event/sport?

I guess that would nicely sum up all combat sports in a way XD Actually many renowned combat athletes started doing that particular sport to release the anger and frustration.

Lol i was Just suggesting and making Fun here  ;D ;D ;D

Because Slapping usually happens when people are angry to someone then why not put them in this sports ? Just kidding mate..

At least you can feel the Fun when i said it  ;D

That's a crazy sport if it can be considered as one. Spreading very fast and little tournaments are being held everywhere. But I'm completely sure they are not honest enough to be bet on. It's more like fun than sport or competition where one side can stop competing any moment for no reason. Butt slapping for girls is even more ridiculous.

https://i.imgur.com/NYYQurJ.png
 

But that's not what the Topic is all about , Not tapping the BUTT instead slapping the face of each other.

https://i.imgur.com/ynFxIr1.png

Just like what I shared above from the start mate,

and yeah this is a crazy sport but worth watching , We have Boxing that made some boxers died so why not give this a break also?

What a horrible tournament. I'm only imagining what the odd for this kind of bet would look like. And in a tournament like this players with healthier appearance tends to have higher odds and more fans would tend to stick to such player. I would spend time to watch series of this so as to get my favorite contestant.

You know how people always find a way. To make things fun, look at competitive eating, if eating like a normal person isn't enough, then you can join a competitive eating contest. Slapping tournament is the same in my opinion, they find that you can make a competition out of this crazy thing and they did it.

Maybe for us who does not know about that tournament will think about that is a strange sports, but in that country, that tournament is not strange and many people like to watch that tournament. But I do not want to be the participants to get slapped in my face ;D

Maybe it is hard to find a betting site for that sports as that sports is not too popular compare to the other sports.

There is a major difference between martial arts and other sporting events and these kind of slapping and punching tournaments which is available in Youtube, in normal competition everyone has the opportunity to defend themselves and hitting in the head without giving any option to defend themselves should not be considered as sports and the most brutal one is bare knuckle fight as you need to have some nerves to watch those fights and i do consider it as the most brutal form of competition as all the fights becomes graphic for the faint of hearts.

I do not think any betting site will accept these events as these events does not have a sanctioning authority and usually conducted as fun events streamed directly to Youtube.

They are just going on the trend and try to make out some views with that ridiculous butt slapping competition which is really nonsense after all.


Butt or Face slapping thing is something that can be considered to be a sport. There are no rules just like similar into those physical sports but just simply stand there and
trying to survive those every slap.

Also it is actually dangerous since its your head is on the spot.

You bring an interesting point and I will argue weight classes should be even more important here than what they are in boxing, at least in boxing you are allowed to parry and avoid hits coming your way which means that a smaller guy could in theory beat a heavier one with their elusiveness and their ability to hit their opponents faster than what they can react, and yet in this competition this is not possible and you must receive the hit which means that the only way to ensure a level playing ground is to create weight divisions.

Man, this is brutal IMO, I don't think there will be casinos out there will allow such games into there platform?
besides unlike on wwe which is mostly fakes, here is really a "SLAP BITCH" could really end up on a bad state for the player, and I really don't think it is necessary to make this a game for gambling.
I'd rather watch UFC breaking their legs though than an instant die ( chances are much higher in this as the head is in risk )

(Example this guy)
dafuq I just remembered him ...

I can't consider to it either as a sports, there's no chances that everyone could play with this but maybe with a weigh in of how heavy the arm is just like boxing or something like it could make a balance idea to everyone who participated the game. This contest just look like a fun game out of boredom and there is no protection gear or something about this it's all about smacking someone's face till they drop.

I wouldn't expect people would make a betting sites just for this because we already know who will going to win if you know all of the participants and how strong they slap in their last contest. So it's more like a rigged game to me and it's not worth it because there's no hard work or training to join this you just need a good arm and a solid face, that's all.

Solid arm and Solid face indeed! On this kind of tournament then these are the main qualities that you do need to strengthen or else you would really be lying on the ground once you've been slapped hard.

Im aint considering this as a sport but rather as a hobby out of boredom which is correct.Honestly, its entertaining when you do see someone been slapped in the face and collapse due to impact.

Its painful to see at the same time its entertaining when you do see the crowd is cheering up or make out some common reactions. Making out bets of these particular events is just not that appealing.

It's too hard to define if we are talking about sports its has different characteristics it depends on the organization if they will consider this if you want to search about the sports its all about the battle between the physical and mental strength I think this game consider this two factors the strength of your hands and the strength of your mind to keep fighting even you already received a large amount of damage on your face. Well we have different perspective on it.

I thought the slap fight looked so scary and extreme that I thought it would hurt a lot, the two participants slapped each other and even if the slap was very strong, it would knock one of the participants off the ground.
and even though this contest is extreme but this contest has rules to maintain safety, there are also referees who supervise and there are also procedures for slapping do not use your lower palms, so you have to use your fingers to slap 3 times and whoever is strong and defensive will be the winner.
and whether slapping is a sport that relies solely on the strength of the fingers to slap and endure the pain of being slapped, and how is it different from all other fighting sports.

Exactly mate, What is the impact of slap in the Butt? I even survive the initiation rights of My fraternity From a Paddle and here a slap in Butt? my sorority also survive the powerful strike of paddle in their Butts so this is really nonsense specially if they are wearing pants or any covers.

Butt is nonsense but Face? this is really dangerous as our brain is at risk.

Yes , it is really dangerous

It hurts of course. Some of them fall to the ground actually, participants even blackout after a hit. But I got to say that if you got the guts to participate in this so-called sport, you could either be one of the tough guys who got the balls or a tough nut.

The ones you have seen are just doing like this two: 
https://media.giphy.com/media/qYYPX4pG92r0k/giphy.gif

If this kinda slapping tournament will be given this going to be safe lol. this kind of game will possibly give damage to the face muscles, dislocate the bone and possibly bring the player into a comatose are you willing to risk your face or life just to win a large amount of money? Only strong faces can survive this kind of game.

I used to watch these videos in the fun compilation videos and memes but do they have world championship?

Crazy though! What are the games and champions we are going to see in the future.

I am watching this slapping tournament on youtube and facebook yet I haven't seen any crypto gambling related to it, but if there is I do think that it is easier to win on that game compared to other games because some of the contestants are really mismatched, there are times that I have watched a big fat boy vs small guy, so basically a small guy cannot do something to win to a big fat boy, the body makes us decide who will win in that tournament.

People have died in the ring in boxing and MMA, and as far as I know, there were never reported incidents of dying in slapping tournaments. The same sentiment was going around a couple of years ago about Bare Knuckle Boxing (BKFC), and now it's a legit sport that a lot of fighters go to. What we do need in slapping is weight classes.

Yeah, I do think that it is easier to win on this compared to other games since if we have a knowledge how the other player fares then we know who we are going to be our money in. There are some matchups that are even or you don't know who is going to win but that is a rare case and most of the time, the players that happen to have that kind of thing are those that are muscular.

With the slapping tournament it is rare to see muscular ones. Most of the players looks like obese :D :D :D Same as this game we've got world strongest man events. Those events looks like an easy pick than the slapping tournament. When we put our money into something based on prediction, it is a must to have luck without which winning isn't ours.

I will put a Youtube link (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRD7N-Zrj2DOt_DFJg7IaJJCaLpsLJEwz) that I was watching in this slap fights. If you have a gut feeling on who is going to win in a slap fight then you should probably listen to your gut because they are probably right.

LOL that's an insane sport, it's the first time I'm hearing about it. Does anyone know the rules precisely? The matchs last until a player(maybe we should call them fighters instead) gives up, that's right? Does anyone know if we can bet with cryptocurrencies somewhere on those "fights"?

It is an insane one that's why I did this thread. Also the rules from what I can understand is that there is 3 rounds and any round they can give up if they want to. There are some rules when someone tries to dodge or tries to lessen the damage of the slap, one penalty if the slap misses is a warning but if it continues, the opponent gets a free slap, another one is if the player dodges, the opponent will have another slap. That's like the most basic rule there is.

It really is scary, both slappers or participants do not have a safeguard and they just endure what's coming and they don't have any weight or height limit I have seen one big fat participant pitted against a small thin man, obviously, the big man can easily knock out the thin competitor, they don't have a tale of the tape of each participant the only qualification I guess is how hard you slap and can you endure the slap

Check out this slap compilation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrFakWkv5Xo

Can we consider this really a tournament ? and is this also a skill? sorry but i don't find any inside this game but justa  purely entertainment.

You only need to stay standing and aware, and also release a strong slap?

yeah this is just for funny features mate and not a total sport.

yes, i believe so. this is a tournament per se. as it is a competition in a game. but in Russia it is considered as a sport, as you said it is more on entertainment side or like a show.
if nothing else, this is fun to watch, right? you can create a lot of memes from this game. lol
btw, a hard slap is considered dangerous as they risk brain injuries  (https://www.thesun.co.uk/world-cup-2018/6310048/russia-slapping-contest-toughest-men-risk-brain-injuries/) in this case

To each of their own I guess, I mean it has some factors that can be considered to be a sport, there is physical contact and there is a competition between players so I guess it can be considered a sport to a certain degree. Just because it looks simple doesn't mean that it can't be considered a sport.

It can be, I have seen two participants received 4 slaps each, one of them was knocked out and revived by ammonia, like all the others I cannot see the whole point of the competition, it's more brutal than watching an MMA and boxing because the gloves and the referee can protect you, but here who's going to protect you from what's coming from an open hand, where the one slapping you is taking an aim and taking a deep concentration to give you a big slap so he can knock you out. :o

It is good to know there are some rules in place as it looks kind of scary to receive so many hits, however we also need to think of the long term health of the participants, it seems they cannot avoid the hit and we know that if you are hit on the head many times in a row this can create injuries from which it is going to be impossible to recover, so without any headgear to protect the participants or weight divisions I do not know how popular this kind of contest could become.

wow, I never imagined that a slap tournament could become a gambling competition!!

I don't know about the slap tournament, I only saw a few videos on youtube, but is there already a betting platform for slap tournaments?!??

The risk of brain injuries is just a baseless allegation from The Sun to make a catchy and sensationalist title. But their claim is not supported by any quote from a decent medical source. As Obito said above many fighting sports are way more violent than that. Boxing, Lethwei, and Muay Thai are obviously more brutal and dangerous than slapping, and even women are practicing them. If you only give real slaps there is no danger to severely hurt the opponent.

Comparing it to other sports like boxing and other brawl-type of sports then this one is way too far off when it comes to possible injuries that the participant would possibly get

but we cant really still be that confident that the risk would be 0% because not all would be having that light hands to slap out faces.There's still impact which means

head is still prone for some shake up which might causes some possible implications but so far there are still no incident had been seen out.

I just searched about this tournament on youtube now and it is fun to watch for me. But seeing crypto betting sites have this on their sportsbooks is not possible yet for me because slapping tournaments is not considered a real sport yet. From watching some videos I guess it only happens in America, and not all will be happy to see this as a sport. If people want to really bet virtually on this type of tournament someone should have already created a website for this even if it doesn't accept crypto yet.

You are right on that, there is no such thing as 0% risk of injury, but that goes for any sport. That's where the weight categories should come into play, which would reduce the percentage lower than it is now.

I think not yet many betting platforms for slap tournaments because that sport is not too popular in other countries. Maybe if many promotions about that sport start and live in many places, it could give that sport grow and someday, many betting platforms will add that sport to their list.

We already see many sports that more brutal than the slap tournament and those sports already gets their fan and it can grow now. But for a slap tournament, it needs more time to attract more audience to become popular.

I think that we are currently looking at US and Russia as countries that are producing the most of the slapping content, and those are huge markets that can facilitate gambling and not be worried if other countries catch up or not.

Actually i believe that this is not yet considered as sport because what is the skill on this?

Does the old times declared this as sport?

it is not about whos brutal or not, But what is the purpose and who are the audience?

What part of my reply did I say that I am comparing Muay Thai to slapping tournament, and even if I didn't compare, both needs some sort of competition and they involved something physical so I think in my book it qualifies as a sports.

The small market of slapping tournaments is what makes it difficult for bookmakers to make bets on it I think. Whenever I watch videos on the sport than I notice that there is no real weight or height category. The difference between the athletes is quite substantial. And it seems that the heavier guy always wins, except if there is a low shot. So for this to turn into a real betting sport we need more contestants, fans and also more rules.

We will see it later. While the slap tournament is available in the US and Russia, people can watch the slapping tournament on Youtube.

In the other country, that will not call as a sport. Maybe the player needs to improve their strength to have more power to slap their opponent. Maybe in the old times, that is not called a sport, but we do not know what will happen in the future.

The purpose is to search for other entertainment that can give us more fun. The audience is people who enjoy the game and they willing to spend their time waiting and watch the tournament.

Maybe right now, the market of slapping tournaments is small, but we do not know in the future because if there are more promotions about the game, maybe that game can grow. The bigger the player will have big power, but that will not always like that because the small player can have a big power if they can improve their strength.

If there is interest coming from more people than we will expect this sport being added by the bookies,

So far like what you have said there are only few places where this sports are available I do see some videos from the social media
channels, games that being shared and so far there are people who already see this and sooner or later if popularity being raised up
then expect that it will reached wider venues.

FYI Punchdown #4 (https://punchdownfight.com/pl/home/) will start on May, 22, 2021. You can bet on totalbet (https://totalbet.pl/sports/events/PunchDown/33817/33318).
Anyway, I don't like the strategy used by the recent finalists (Kamotsky and Zalewski (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VZqvw05uS0)). They both tilt their head down, perhaps to avoid getting slapped on the jaw.
This sport has a bright future, but the inconsistency of the rules may hinder this sport to take off, unlike arm-wrestling when the rules are pretty much clear. Hence, we need some standardization of rules before holding international events IMO.

I’ve seen this kind of thing before. It looks funny at times but in reality it’s not. You get people of different weights competing against each other, there’s no head gear protection. Some of those guys pack a real slap, somebody is going to get seriously hurt.

I just watched some videos and the skills part is on hitting the right spot. Opponents are likely to go down if they're hit right on the chin not on the cheek. Some competitors also have beards and I think that's a way to "hide" their chin.

....

I wonder if they even have a weight division for this. You would expect a 370 pounds guy to hit harder than a 250. They are not allowed to dodge so they could at least arrange it per weight class.

I was wondering the same and failed to find one but I did find some fiat betting options as the sponsors of these tournaments are betting sites mainly. I was watching some videos and it looked fun almost like UFC they play a few rounds where you either knock your opponent down or there are judges who will score the fight.

Let me tell you one interesting thing though, like UFC there are drunk judges in slapping tournaments too and they make some bad decisions so be careful if you are betting on a fight where the fight doesn't end with a knockout. It is a fun thing to watch but if you ask me, I won't be betting too much on it unless there is more growth for the sport.

You're overlooking into things because there's no scientific proof that hitting one's chin is much more lethal than on hitting on the cheek.It all matters with the force on each slap and

doesnt really mind off too much on which spot where your hand will be landing on.Dont know if there are really some analysis into that but i dont really see any skills on this aside on
slapping out someones face.  :D

Weight division is somewhat ideal because mass of each should really be that close.

I do not even know if that sport exist if I do not read the thread from @OP ;D

After I visited the links and did a little search about that sport, I realize that this sport is different from other sport, even about MMA or something like that.

Maybe soon, the rating of this sport will rise after this news spreads on many websites and that can attract more player from other companies that want to test their power.

Yeah, I think it's like professional boxing and that's why they don't have any headgears. I've seen some action on a slapping tournament with the most popular guy on this sport. He's able to endure the slap that has been made to him by a guy that has a lot of tattoos but his body mass isn't that much and the popular slapping guy has a better body and bigger than his opponent. When the popular guy was about to slap, he slapped with all his might and the opponent tattoo guy passed out on the video that I've watched.

I mean, it is different as it is still on the fringes, the same as Bare Knuckle Boxing was a couple of years ago, or how people still don't realize that arm wrestling is actually a legit sport.

Ask a friend to slap you hard on the cheek today and another one on the chin the next day from the same friend then tell us the experience. The level of power is expected to be the same. I'm also expecting the hit on the chin will have a greater shock to your brain and knock you out than the hit on the cheek.

Can this really be considered as sports or is it just a brutal entertainment for (hopefully) adults? I really cant see any advantage in this hobby. These people are bad role models for young people.

Also it seems that this is just a fight of being the most fat person. The more fat you have the more powerful you can slap your opponent.  :P

What a good observation! seems that more on brutal entertainment, this is just a showmanships of your strenght and how you handle pain.

More likely, the more heavy you are the more chances that you slap much heavier, those who participate from this games loves to endure pains trying to win from one to another.

fat who also have much good endurance to take care of the pain, and also have that big strong hand to throw strong slap to
take the win.. ::) ;D

Betting sites do really have open betting for random events like politics, international pageants, and even Covid-19 related.

Sites aren't just limited to betting on actual sports so it's expected that you will see non-sports related.

And they supposed to become role models for young people? They have nothing to do with that and why should they?

This is my main worry with all of this, most likely right now they cannot implement weight classes as this competition is not too popular to implement those weight division since they will be left with just a few participants on each division, however it is something that should be done eventually as obviously someone that is heavier has the advantage in this game especially since you cannot dodge, personally if it was up to me and no weight divisions were possible due to what I commented above I will allow the participants to dodge since this will level the playing field a little bit.

When it comes to weight then the heavier fella would really be always have the advantage and we know that weight is a great factor to consider for someone who can slap out a more powerful than the others
which means if you are less heavier with your opponent then expect on what would be the results even though it isnt guaranteed because there are small body builds which can actually slap out
powerful than into those  who are much bigger and heavier but those arent that common situation and obviously we do stick into that more obvious comparison.

I do not know about Bare Knuckle Boxing. Maybe people still want to search for a sport that can give more entertainment, such as football, basketball, wrestling, or else. Besides that, that kind of sports is legit for some people who will enjoy that show. We will see later if those sports can become popular or not.

Here's the Video of Bare Knuckle fight

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjFZAQvIg7w

https://i.imgur.com/41Nn4fq.png

Looks how strong the fighters are, this is one of the best fight ever.

Have only seen Russia and US setting up these tournaments, so it's only natural that there still will be no gambling opportunities in this "sport". Nonetheless this will change in the future if the slapping tournament goes on, and if more and more countries jump into the hype and set up their own slapping tournaments as well.

What do audiences going to get from these kind of sport there is no art both participants have no defence they are like sitting duck here all that can is to hope that they can take it and their opponent is not a hard hitter sometimes the slap looks even harder than a punch.

People have different tastes, even if you do not see anything that is attractive in this competition for you that does not mean someone else will not find it interesting, take a look at esports, for older people that are not interested in video games at all and that have even criticized the activity they do not see there anything that is interesting for them, however for the new generations esports are incredibly attractive as they can see what can be achieved by the best of the world in the games they love.

For me, I don't see any attractive with the sport since like you said they are just like sitting ducks there but for sure there are some people that loves to watch these kind of games.

I have watched some youtube videos and most of the participants that I've seen are coming from Russia so possible that Russian People love this tournament. I also saw a video regarding those participants with some swells in their faces and its because of the tournament itself. Its just one proof that this tournament can heavily damage your head and worse your brain. Overall, I don't see this tournament that attractive or entertaining at all.

Obviously tournaments like that or slap fights aren't entertaining or fun to watch, and I also don't understand whether such tournaments can be categorized as sports.
and have to really have the guts and be ready to take risks because a tournament like that can crush his head if he finds an opponent who has big and strong palms, and in my opinion that's very scary despite the rules.
I hope that a tournament like this will only be held in Russia and not spread to other countries because if small children take part it can be dangerous.

That's the selling point of this kinds of tournament, bare slapping so they can feel the full force of it. This kind of thing is an acquired taste regarding sports/tournament and if you don't find it fun then okay. Also they aren't fully unprotected, they wear mouth guards to protect themselves from the impact of the slaps.

One of the thing that I really don't like about this event is using ammonia to try to revive the participants, I have seen one using it on one participant, he is not yet fully recovered from receiving a big slap and he is not yet fully awake, because when you revive using ammonia your consciousness is not yet fully restored you are still groggy and with a foggy feeling if they are going to treat it a sport, they should implement protection and stop using ammonia.

Is it really ammonia because I think that is a pretty toxic thing to be used for this kind of thing. Maybe it was smelling salts that they used and it just looked like ammonia. I think any kind of thing that makes you wake up because of a knockout is going to make you groggy anyway.

I did a research and you are right it's a smelling salt that they are using but still, it is something that is not natural, bringing consciousness, not in a natural way, according to one reputable article it's not meant to be a sports but a show, one slapping champion become a Youtube star, it may be a show for now but we never know, when there are money and audiences and demand, expect something to happen.

A crazy tournament on the best in slapping I really think this is ridiculous at the same time would ease away your boredom but it is not recommended with the faint of heart, I guess this is very popular in part of Russia and if there are gambling site that has this on them I will surely go with the person that is bulkier, pretty much all bulkier dude seems pretty much have the power in their slaps, and recommending this for people that want the thrill if you get hit by a slap,

I haven't seen any gambling sites that can make you bet for this kind of tournament maybe because it is not that popular, and if it did I think this could be a hit and many will surely want to bet for the bulkier dude that is on this tournament

I don’t think its a good decision to make such a tournament, its like a petty fight between childrens who are not able to agree in one decision. Having such tournaments with no valid aim or goal is just like watching a catfight. It might get popular in a short while but not to the point that people involved can have a career, maybe just for fun.

Yes! it is only for the fun I never say it can be a legal sport that is the main aim is hitting and knock out your opponent, I am just saying that it can be brought up to a gambling platform but I guess it can never be, but you can never set this out if people like what they are doing, or they can take credit in doing so, but mainly this can never be mainstream but we can never know if this can be main sports or not but time can truly tell,

Here in our country, there is an online gambling app mainly for cockfighting but they are now adding basketball and boxing events for certain YouTubers to participates, I think in that app but I can not tell for sure, Slapping can possibly be added.

Honestly speaking that I have never heard of this slapping tournament and it's the first time I am hearing about it. I am not aware of any sportsbetting website which allows this type of betting as it does not look to be so popular a sport for which the crypto gambling sites may offer bets. I have seen cockfighting but with a catch, I saw people giving some drops of alcohol to each of their cocks and then send them to the game and the game never ends till one of the cocks die.

It's completely alright to be honest, smelling salts isn't just used for people who got knocked out but also can be used for people that fainted or anything that renders someone unconscious, I am not a medical expert so I can't judge whether it is alright. Also, if it isn't natural way then what we are supposed to do, taking medicines for illnesses aren't natural too so why take them right?

Yeah why not have a Weight Level? because it seems not fair a Smaller person fighting with overweight person?

the Palm of each other does not match and also the weight of their arms , i think there must be a restructure for this sport if they wanted to grow higher in the future.

its not a sport. if they have weight classes they have to weigh the hands but that's not how to make fairness. i think it's about how a guy can make a full swing of his arms. they still gamble to it but just compare it to cockfight where they just estimate the compactness of the cock and if it seems to match to other fighting cock, they could then arrange a fighting match.

That is new to me, gamblers will let the fighting cocks sip some alcohol. But I think it is only for entertainment purposed, I think people are experimenting with things now a days and i think that many people are just getting bored with the lock down and pandemic that is why they always end up thinking of weird things for their entertainment, I guess the concept of the slapping tournament was because of their boredom.

Many modern girls are passionate about BDSM (shibari, spanking, etc.).  Today's youth love violence. 

Also girls love to spank their boyfriends.  This is how they are brought up, made ideal husbands.  If a girl has had several guys and spanked each of them at least once a week, then she is already well trained. 

It is believed that girls are fragile and do not know how to fight.  This is not entirely true.  When a girl is furious, she can defeat ten healthy men. 

I don't really like watching girls hit each other or men. 

However, slap tournaments are becoming more and more popular every year.

It is ammonia and is in no way toxic to be used in this way or in these quantities. It has been used in sports of Powerlifting and Strongman for years both as a pre-lift adrenaline rush (as it actually simulates the feeling of being slapped in the face) and a wake-up to those who faint due to exaction and is cleared by health and food administrations. So in a sense these slappers at tournaments are getting slapped twice XD

I just watch girl slapping tournemnt on tiktok but not sure her name, its like this the first girl seems like didnt want slap her friend so she just slap it slowly when its turn for her friend she slaps her almost she like fainted and almost fall and her face pretending everything okay and its looks like her jaw a bit moving its funny and terrifying at the same time.

If that is on TikTok, I guess that will be to entertain the audience, and I do not think they will slap with full power. They do that for making money because I heard that they could get money by doing something like dance or other things. But if you watch the video on Youtube, you will see the real slap because the video was made for the tournament.

I doubt that the participants will be able to control the strength of their muscles in this "sport".
In the first rounds, it was okay... but after taking a few slaps the guy becomes vindictive, and I think for women it must be even tenser.
Definitely, this is a sport that deserves respect, in a little while they will invent an "ear tug" as sport... it doesn't exist yet, right!?

Does she able to get some revenge?  ;D It sounds too funny about hesitance when trying to slap someone but since its your friend then you can actually make it not really that hard but
you dont know on whats on the mind of your friend where they would slap you out hard and it happens. When you arent get used to this sport then you should prepare yourself
on possible body reactions because you dont know on how hard that your opponent would slap out your face. Yes its terrifying but i dont know on why
people do get entertain with this.

To be honest I never wanted to watch and even bet on a slapping tournament like this, I felt like this was not a sport or anything and I could not afford to see it. At that time when I was looking at the video on the facebook and there was a slapping tournament like this, at first I was curious but after seeing it I was no longer interested in seeing it, much less to bet on it because by us betting on it means we support such a tournament and I am not want.

does this tournament really exist?
honestly I have never seen such a unique tournament, and if I can know, what are the criteria that determines a person to win in the tournament?
I think maybe the tournament is just a tradition that is broadcast live on tv, like a tradition that happened in Peru Takanakuy to settle grudges between two people or more in the last year.
I think the slapping tournament is a unique tournament and winners and losers of course have something in common at the end of the tournament, which means getting bruises on the face  ;D

The Slapping content began way before the pandemic. It wasn't considered as sport before but a show, and It's from Russia. Remember, Russian people loves to play games/contest that are either could physically hurt you or kill you (Russian roulette for example).
These kind of contest wasn't created because they are bored, Russians are competitive and so they are creative of a way how they can compete with each other. Testing physical capabilities is their way of recognizing how strong and competitive you are.

I do agree with you. This slapping tournament began way before this pandemic period. Just like the below article, it was in March 2019, so pandemic was not yet here at that time. Just part of their culture, I guess. Developed thru time.

https://allthatsinteresting.com/competitive-slapping

I was thinking about the player can getting mad and tenser after getting a few slaps because his pride was down and that player will feel not right getting those slaps. Uh, that will be chaos if a player can not control themselves and know that is just for entertainment. "ear tug"? Maybe, but that is not a game in some country ;D
But let see it later.

This slapping is mean to inflict harm on both participants, it's better than if they are going to do this event I read it's meant to be a show that it should be a match between two enemies or two people with conflicts so it becomes even in hurting themselves, slapping is dangerous and even harmful than a punch and you see both participants coming in with full force, this is really dangerous.

It's not just Russia, it's also the US so it has not much to do with the countries preference in games. And slapping will not kill you. It will hurt you. But also things that will hurt you are MMA, Boxing, Kickboxing, Powerlifting (people killing themselves under the weights), skateboarding, rugby...need I continue?

And slapping tournaments have been around and covered by some media before the pandemic started. Case in point https://www.vice.com/en/article/evewxm/competitive-slapping-is-the-worlds-greatest-sport

You should say that to MMA, boxing, and other contact sports that can go real wrong real quick, too, but they are still being held just because they are 'legal', in a sense that they can hold tournaments and events provided they have the necessary license to do so. These fighting sports involve two contestants who don't necessarily have anything against their opponents yet they are still risking their lives for the sport and the money. What makes it different from slapping tournaments? With the right amount of precautions, medical professionals, and security around, I don't think it's that dangerous like what you're trying to make it out. But still I understand the sentiment.

---

There were updates from Slapfight Championship wherein they are in the works of holding an event wherein MoistCr1t1kal is one of the English commentators. It's definitely heading towards the right direction and is gaining more and more audience  ever since Charlie covered that one single fight as a meme. I do hope they up their production value and the amount of medical professionals on site as it's really a good deviation from your traditional fighting sports and it's equally, if not more entertaining than your regular boxing/wrestling/MMA matches.

The very first reply in this thread already sent the Photos about the game but if you did not come to read the thread then you will never learn this.

and besides you can just simply type in google and you will get these results

https://www.google.com/search?q=slapping+tournament&rlz=1C1KNTJ_enPH946PH946&oq=slapping+tournam&aqs=chrome.0.0j69i57j0l3j69i61l3.7489j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

There check it for your self.

I don't know what exactly you were trying to point out.
There's no comparison with country's sports/games reference right there.
What I have stated is the origin of this whole slapping tournament/contest. I didn't say "Only" Russia, and I didn't say Slapping will kill you (atleast not on the spot, but there are slight instances when you're slapped so hard that it could send you to the hospital, worse die).
 What I said was
And also, those you have mentioned was a regular sport and is totally different than the slapping tournament/contest where in no way you can defend yourself.
MMA, Boxing, and other contact sports allows you to defend yourself all the time. Skateboarding have crash support gears.

And lastly, I also said that the slapping tournament has been around before the pandemic.  ;)

Finally some common sense around here. And let's not forget that MMA was and still is illegal in some countries, and that does not make it less of a sport. Also, slapping is relatively new in terms of being organized, so let's give it some time, sports tend to evolve in a 10 year period.

I will say that I am the first to admit that it looks ridiculous but at the same time people are doing everything they can to entertain themselves under the current difficult circumstances and this slapping tournament looks fun to watch and I would not mind it seeing it on TV and get a good laugh out of it, however I can understand if some people do not like it and do not understand why something like this exists at all and prefer to not watch it.

Yes I know that this Slapping tournament had begun way before the pandemic I am just saying that there are people who wants to put this kind of sports inside an online gambling site because of their boredom, Sorry if I stated that it is just a recent thing,

But thanks for pointing it out, well even though this is not considered as a sports and this is just for fun for the Russian of course, I am not against considering this to be in a betting platform.

I have been around gamblers who would bet on how many cars pass on a traffic light and who will win an election, so slapping does not surprise me all that much tbh. To me, it is no more of a betting possibility than arm wrestling. If this came from Asia and had some more years under its belt, no one would bat an eye. I think it's just a matter of time, that's it.

We can sure say that if a person would see an opportunity to make money he would grab it, and particularly in parts of Asia mostly here in the Philippines were we have Spider derby,and now it is an online gambling here, most notable are cock fighting, I think arm wrestling was very common as a street gambling just like what's depicted from the anime hunter X hunter were Gon Freecss uses it as a way to increase his money I think it is very possible that a Slapping Tournament and gambling could be a possibility.

If you gamble on how many cars pass on a traffic light, that will be gambling that you and your friends did and not listed on any gambling games. We know that many things can become gambling, and your example is one of that things. Yes, it is a matter of time to see if that sports can grow in other countries or be only popular. After all, many of us do not know about sports and even for betting on that sport.

Yes, there are so many sports involving fight: boxing, wrestling, mixed martial arts (mma), slapping, judo, muay thai and so many other regional sports categories... All these sports schools are conducted by experienced tutors and master who teach their apprentices to respect the adversaries in every situations and to not use their fighting skills outside the tournaments and matches for trivial issues.
There are some problem sportsmen who don't take these rules and guidelines seriously, but they are the minority and suffer the consequences in sports industry for their bad behavior. So definitelly they aren't going to get mad on each other, because they will have their careers prejudiced later for doing so.

That's right! they choose this type of sport and they value their reputation, for sure they're getting mad but since it's a sport they just bring that emotions when it comes to their term. You just give a good example, UFC have a much brutal fight but after the fight both fighters still have a chance to hug and congratulate each other. Sportsmanship is very important and as fighter you need to value one.

True losers are those people who cant accept defeat and taking his loss into different level or lets say it did became personal which is really not a good thing to look at and you shouldnt have
joined the sport or whatever things you do get involved if you cant just accept defeat or simply being a sportmanship to have.This doesnt only limit out several sports but also into other
games as well where competitions or simply it involves winners and losers.

This might be brutal for some in talking about slapping but its true that  UFC is way more brutal than this and i dont know on where they do get those comparison.

Just going back on this thread. I've watched a video of another slapping tournament and it's like being held everywhere, inside a ring, inside the bar and anywhere it can happen. But the video that I've watched is that I'm surprised to see that there's also a girl's competition for slapping. I find it odd and I don't know what to react to upon watching that video. The boy's slapping tournament is intense but I think I cannot take those blows and slaps for the girl's edition of slapping. The video was just posted on Facebook and you can search it with those keywords that you already know, girl, slap, etc.

This slapping tournaments are probably the best thing for me to watch after MMA, and it can be both brutal and funny at the same time.  ;D
They even have Pay Per Views like in MMA and their own Punchdown website so they are growing like separate sport and special shirts.
When can we see Slapping national teams and world cup?  :)

https://i.imgur.com/CuWqFLF.jpg
https://punchdownfight.com/

Well this is getting interesting, it seems this sport is getting way more popular than what I thought, if they even have PPV then someone must be paying to see them in action, which is why I suppose I have never seen one of those fights live as we can do with soccer and other popular sports, even if the competition is very niche I am glad that they are finding their way around getting profits despite the pandemic as it is difficult for a new sport to survive given the current conditions of the world.

Slap competitions have become very popular with viewers on Youtube over the last two years. I haven't been able to place any bets on this type of competition yet, but I believe we'll get the chance soon, as it's as spectacular as many other sports.

I love the cheeky Punch Down moniker :) Good on them for stepping up and trying to get the competitors paid. It really can become a legitimate sport, but a PPV here and there will just not cut it. They need a UFC 1 type of event to really get people talking.

This is one brutal sport to be honest, obviously not as bad as UFC :P

Who gives their cheek to get a free slapping in a room full of people,sorry just watching a few clips of the slapping contest I feel sorry for these guys....is this about the money or releasing that anger out of you...whatever the reasons this is a sport for people that want an adrenaline rush.

I don't know when these slapping competitions have started but I agree with you that it's becoming big and there might be some national teams for those nearby countries where it was originated. The spread of it is quickly happening and who knows if a world cup comes?  ;D
That would be a dream of every slapper to get into that tournament one day and it's not just all about the prize but as well as the pride that they'll be proclaimed as the strongest and toughest slapper.

I think that is because of the money that the winner can get. For some people, that can be a brutal sport, but for others, maybe they can get entertainment from that sport. So they will still watch the tournament same as the people who watch the UFC tournament.

But I can not imagine that it is really hurt to get a slap on that cheek and not many people can receive that slap without any emotion. So I give a salute to the player.

Ah, yeah, maybe for those that are really interested in doing something with it, but for the most part, I think most participants don't care for tournaments or structured competitions. They just want to slap the silly off someone's face and go home XD Maybe we will get more organized competitors at some point.

Well slapping one another is a classic drinking game in many countries and as you may guess if there is a popular game that people practice on their own then eventually we are bound to see a professional version of the game emerging, look at what it is happening to esports, people have been playing video games for decades now, so it is natural that you want to see the best of the best going at it at the highest level and the same is going to be true for this new sport.

Did you know that it's one of the most painful tournaments in the world and for very low prizes to champions? There are even those who consider it worse than boxing, so I doubt that the person enters this "sport" by pure adrenaline.

Fortunately, there aren't many injuries, and one of the basic rules is not to hit the ear so that the eardrum doesn't suffer injuries, but there have already been participants who were momentarily deaf in these tournaments.

Well, this is expected that it will happen, --to be deaf.
Your one-side face and ears are almost near and there is possibility that it will hit every slap. Not only by that, but it will also include possible brain damage due to the high impact of the slap. Yes, --I saw this slapping tournament once in my Facebook newsfeed and I thought it was not a tournament until I saw there is a topic here, and they consider it as a tournament game. It seems very risky for your health if you will join this kind of tournament.

Then how you would consider those damage that can be done or possibly happen in boxing which is much more worst than this? I cant deny that slapping out hard

could really shake off someones head but not as severe when we do look or try to compare it on MMA or boxing so lets not put that much exaggeration when it comes to probable injuries on where
this competition do involved.

They are aware on the risk when it comes to health which its no surprise that there would be criticisms.

I see, this time around they brought it up into national and make a tournament out of that. If this will become famous in the upcoming years, you will some other versions of it in the other country just like in the other sports. anyway, this kind of sport is not a problem for them because they are those who can do what they want when it comes to any sports they like. as long as they put some honest rules to avoid some unforeseen damage.

A unified ruleset, a governing organization, and some recurring competitors could push slapping into a legit sport. Sure, it will be frowned upon at first, but so was MMA when it started in 91, not to mention different styles of boxing that were deemed 'not gentelman'-like. It's interesting to be at the forefront of it so early and seeing what could and will happen.

They have ear plugs to protect their ears but the problem is that there's only a few that uses a proper one, the punchdown series uses only cotton to protect the ears. We don't have to worry too much about it because as this kind of tournament develops, the protection will definitely improve. Every physical demanding sport is going to be risky for your health like boxing and muay thai.

video games is challenging and competitive .
 its why they level up it and make tournaments like esports but slapping  ? not at all but im surprised that this sport already existed before i see this in youtube . slapping reminds me of a video of two guys playing rock paper scisors but with a twist .  
whoever losses he will be smashed by a large water bottle that is prepared beside them .  it was funny to watch than slapping . waiting for that game to have its own tournament like slapping

Suppose more promotion about that slap game is released. In that case, that can give attention to people, especially if the promotion release on social media or Youtube as people now watching Youtube get entertainment. But still, to get popular like the other sports, it will need times and that is not happening in a short time unless they can invite one big player to watch or even to playing with the other players.

Slapping tournament you say? https://punchdownfight.com/pl/home/ . You should differentiate physical sports into digital ones since these things had different markets basing off with different interest.

Yes, it's all about money of course. However, this is ain't professional sports because anyone can enter and qualified since what you all gonna do is to exchange slaps until someone collapse because of the slap, simple as that. Unlike in KFC, you have to get a proper training first before you could fight, meaning your body is in a good condition.

Imagine making yourself fit in slapping tournament by getting slap at your home maybe? or slapping yourself until your face get numb? too risky for me.

Excuse me, KFC? I don't think you need to be an athlete to get in KFC, and really, the less you prepare for KFC the better :D But I disagree on some points. First, if you really want a good slap you need to have good technique, and that takes practice so no, not anyone can slap good enough. Second, you have to train your chin and condition yourself on taking slaps. What do you think pro MMA fighters do? They spar and that means getting hit in the face. A lot. Sometimes even too much.

As we know there are different tastes for different people, my point is that whatever game that people play will eventually become a professional sport, now do I think this is going to become incredibly popular? Not really, but I am sure it is going to have a big enough audience to survive, because as I said just as there are people that play that game while drunk there is a possibility those people are going to want to pay to see other people playing the game in ways they could never do so.

Why am I finding this funny, honestly you got me here, just how does one train their chin for such a sport??

You going up against someone who is bigger and stronger than you if your training didn't have this I don't see how someone would even stand a chance, the worst part about this sport you can't just slap your friend and say you have given up...you too have to endure some of the pain.

Ok, maybe I have said it incorrectly, when I said chin I meant conditioning yourself to take a punch or a slap. There is a reason why stand-up fighters spar, to condition themselves to take a punch. And there is no reason why the same principle cant be applied here. If anything that will make you be less fazed when the slap comes and then be able to be completely focused when you need to fire your shot. And there is a whole debate in boxing regarding conditioning the neck of fighters and strength of a neck when absorbing punches. So yes, I stand by my statement that, in a way you can train your chin.

I just know right now that there is this slapping tournament exists. I mean, this slapping thing in my own opinion happens when a person is really pissed off to others and just can't hold or control their anger so most probably that is what might going to happened. If I just knew that this has a slapping tournament i guess i would suggest this to those people who have received a slapped unintentionally. You know like when there are people who really wanted to slapped the face of other just because they were irritated looking them, then face the two off. Well i'm just kidding, but honestly, this slapping tournament thing was out of my knowledge in all of my life.

Some requirements need to pass to be a player in that tournament, such as weight, strength, or else we do not know yet. Exchange slaps are not easy because if you think you have strong slaps, it does not mean the other player does not have strong slaps. They can be stronger than you, especially if they can hide their power in front of you.

It will hurt our cheek, and that will be a pain. I wonder how those people feel about that. But it is about money that makes them survive from the opponent.

But still there are no gambling site that offers Crypto betting for slapping competition?

Sad that i cannot find one over the internet.

But i already watching this sports for quite sometimes now.

You might want to check out Total Bet, they were advertised by the Punch Down Series that was hosted in Poland, I don't know if they still have a tournament since the Punch Down has already ended. If you look hard enough, you will find what you are looking for.

I'm sure it's just a matter of time. Things have been done on the arm wrestling betting front with apps being developed for their tournaments, so it's just a matter of time until it spills over to slapping. I think that if the media catch on, even a little bit than that would of betting get hooked. And us talking here about it could help get crypto into it.

One of the things is that with sports like this it is almost impossible to predict what it is going to happen, after all I could see it becoming popular as on some level it is kind of funny which is why it is a popular competition when people are having some drinks, however some people may find it even more dangerous than other contact sports because you need to endure to be slapped without any possibility of defense unlike with what happens in those other sports and they could even try to boycott it.

I just discovered this sport was also practiced in India. It seems to be a kind of traditional sport close to the Kabaddi but with only one player/fighter against one other player/fighter. Unlike the western version fighters are not static and don't need to wait passively the strike of their opponent. I find this version more funny, technical and spectacular.
https://youtu.be/KgT5LjBXq_g

I am among those people who don't like this tournament because after all, I don't see any entertainment in this tournament with the way they slap even though it's alternately?
Maybe, occasionally there are moments that make people laugh after seeing the effect that happens after one of the players gets slapped but for me personally, it's not funny at all because how can I laugh seeing someone get slapped so hard and it's dangerous. :(

It's no more dangerous than boxing or MMA, and regarding it not being interesting, I personally can't stand soccer and motorsports, but some people can't get enough, so I doubt there are not enough people that will find this entertaining.

Even you do say about interests then of course not all would really be seeing this to be appealing since there are lots of sports which is way more better than this but

there are still people whom do find this slapping contest or tourney would be interesting even with its simple mechanics which is solely on slapping others face then it turns out to be

appealing in others eyes and when it comes to injuries or any other health concerns then its true that MMA and other sports like boxing too is much more riskier than on this one.

Didn’t see that on the site anymore, I don’t know but its hard to find a betting place for this competition.
Watching some matches on Youtube and I really see the intensity of the match, its fun though I feel sorry every time they slap each other. Anyway, time will come for a betting site to recognize this competition because as I can see, the slap competition are growing and many countries are now doing this.

The fanbase of a sport depends upon the number of people watching it daily. The slapping tournament, although first of its kind, is starting to create its name on the sports world as a dangerous, yet exciting one which involves a simple step of slapping another opponent and whoever backs out or becomes unconscious  is declared the loser.

While many seem to doubt its entertainment value, I personally see this sport flourishing in the near future, or if not, have a steady fanbase and watchers. To see a huge dude getting unconscious after getting slapped is entertaining, well at least for me.

I would to say is they are slapping full on without any defensive mechanism and it is going to hurt them without a doubt and may be they will be concussed as well and these are conducted as fun games and i cannot view those as real sporting events. When it comes to your hate for Soccer which is the highly watched sports in the world and i would like to know what all sporting events you watch as i am curious to know.

A closer look slap is not harmful than a punch, but it can still produce a knockout there's this article I read that
The participants have trained themselves to slap harder I even see one slapping champion smashing a wood with an open wood, and there's no defense the participants just take it and hope it's not harder than they can take, I watched one slapping tournament where I was the one feeling the pain because the slap is really hard and the face of participants are all red coming from slaps

Yes, that is right. If that sport can get more promotion and many people like to watch that tournament, that can lift the popularity of that game, so we will see a gambling site will try to add that game in their bet. Maybe online fiat gambling will be the first to add that game to their list as online fiat gambling sites still have their popularity among the crypto gambling site. But later, I think online crypto gambling sites will follow that step if they think that game can attract more gamblers to bet on their site.

You're probably right, fiat gambling for this could be the first to breakthrough, and then crypto will catch on. But it seems that's the case with any gambling, first FIAT needs to test the waters, and then, if people are catching on, then crypto will follow. So we will have to wait some time.

I doubt that we will see trusted crypto site which will allow bets on slapping. This theme is already wiping away and not so popular as it was year ago (at least, as i see it).
But I can be wrong, of course. Just my IMHO

There is nothing wrong with this attitude, as we know there are different tastes among people and while some may find it funny others many not like it at all, probably my biggest problem with this sport is the inability of avoiding the hit, I can understand that they may not like to allow people to block but at least they should be able to avoid while remaining stationary, that way they will reduce the possibility of injury and for those that find it interesting this will make it even more glorious when someone is finally slapped on the face.

I can see alot of people hoping that online crypto related gambling sites will integrate slapping tournament betting but things don't work like that and if it could take some well know gambling site some years before they could add well known games, it will definitely take them like 3years before they could add slapping tournament. However, this kind of game won't is good in the sight of some people.

Yup, It will definitely take some time for it to get to crypto, I am not sure exactly, but I doubt crypto is having anything to do with the lower-tier sports and slapping is one of those. Maybe we are looking at the next cycle for the implementation of those sports, but until then at least we will have a defined sport in slapping. Or it will fall flat on it's face XD

It is going to take some time before this kind of sport is added to the offerings of casinos, one thing many people forget is that while there are incredibly popular sports like soccer or basketball the truth is that there are many other sports that are smaller out there that have professional leagues and since there is not enough interest in the sport then casinos do not see the need to add them, but once the sport becomes large enough they will give some attention to it but it takes time, so lets give this sport some time to develop and see if it can reach enough popularity on its current form.

The betting site I patronize are yet to have options on slapping competition yet, but I have watched the game of slapping, it intriguing just like a physical sport like UFC or boxing, but the sport is not organized, more rules to guide the sport making It fair should be put into the sport

I don't think I can bet on a sport where the low predicted opponent because the game was unfair by the referring or not really knowing what's a fowl In the sport or legal.

Well, anyone can hope to have it but you are right that it is difficult to do that since there seems to be a lot of bureaucratic work involved in it. Also, don't assume the worst if it becomes available in some gambling site just because you don't enjoy it, let it show what it's got and see what happens.

If the casino already has many popular gambling games on their site, maybe they will not add slapping tournament to their games list because slapping games are not too popular and only a few people know that game. People will not try to bet on that sport and they will still select their favourite gambling games. But maybe some gambler who curious about that slap game will place their bet. But I am not sure they can get much information about the player since that sport is not popular among the other gambling games.

The question is , do they really offer Crypto betting ? because that is what my question is all about and i did not find a good answer in your post.

I asked for answer because i already mentioned not finding anything .

That's the part that I don't know, I was just recommending what I was seeing when I watch the Punch Down Series. I didn't check it because it was just loading in my phone.

I think one will follow the other. As people will be more interested in gambling, then people inside the sport will try to form ruling bodes, which will in return result in more people wanting to bet on it. I believe it's just a matter of time and maybe some investment money.

Most of the time this would be particularly available on fiat bookies later comes next on crypto and this would really take up some time because having these lines would always vary on how popular the sport would it be and the interest circles around.

If they do saw such demand then we might see some bookies would tend out to list this one because it would just be insensible if they would list something which aren't really popular or known that much.

As for slapping tournament or sport , I have seen this one but I don't see much of a reason on why would it be considered to be a sport but I do rather see this
as a typical stuff on slapping out your faces.lol

My lord how far have we come? :D Literally, this embarrasses me as a human being. If we really place bets on who slaps whom the hardest, isn't that a bit too much of entertainment? I know I might start a massive discussion here, but boxing is still a totally different story. Face slapping is just... I don't know. With all due respect but that's no sport to me. It is concerning how the audience freaks out, and how big the audience is in the first place, when one guy slaps another one straight in the face and that's it.

Yes, it's not boxing and it can hardly be called a sport, but because it's people have different views on entertainment and judging by how many viewers gather such competitions, it is clear that many people like it. New entertainment always attracts people's eyes, but I think that interest will fade over time.

Ok, then let's just call it a game, like chess, but with physical contact :D People will watch everything that entertains but we don't need to call it a sport or anything else. It's definitely boxing but it can still have its place in the world of weird entertainment.

Maybe we will not call that a sport, but people in that country will consider that a sport and they really like to watch that game. That will be different if that sport becomes popular in many countries and people will say that it is one of the sports.

It might be the same as if our people are doing a sport or playing some local game in our country, and we call that a sport. But in other people views, that is not a sport.

Regardless of how fast the market of cryptocurrencies has been growing and with it the gambling industry there is no doubt that gambling with fiat is still way more popular and until fiat casinos begin to offer lines for this sport it is going to be difficult for cryptocurrency casinos to do so, after all one of the problems we have with new sports is that it is difficult to figure out the right odds for the match, something which is easier in other sports that have been around for decades.

You are definitely right neither crypto or fiat casinos would be the first on offering these lines but setting out odds I cant see for it to be hard once there some bookies that do start out on making one and the rest would surely follow.

If this sports would continue to gain up attention and popularity then for sure one day there would be lines be offered for this sports but for now it would be still be needing some consideration.

Don't know if this sport would really be considered to be on the list or would just good as it is.

I'm not sure it's not listed because of the difficulty to evaluate properly the odds. During live events odds are highly difficult to evaluate and they can fluctuate from 1.1 to 10 in few minutes for the same player or team and despite that bookies are offering those markets. Moreover on some bookies like 1xbet you can even bet on the weather all around the world.

I agree that their interest may fade with time, it's a hard game and I'm concerned that minors will join in on slapping their friends. It doesn't matter what the name of this game is because this tournament shouldn't be held because it's really loud, it would be better to play arm wrestling which is definitely more friendly and good to watch at all ages, there is no entertainment that I get in a slap tournament like this and to me it was just torture and violence.

In the days of the Musketeers, a slap in the face was considered a serious insult. 

I can't imagine a situation where nobles hit each other on the cheeks.  It's a shame!  It is a pity that the concept of dignity and honor is gone from our lives.  The plebeians have seized power in the world and are promoting their entertainment to the masses.  Duels and gladiatorial fights were much more noble and dignified competitions.  Combat is normal, albeit brutal. 

However, vulgarity is a disgusting thing. 

Therefore, I am against the slap and kick competition.

That's really hurtful to watch, it's much different from other fighting sports such as boxing since in boxing you have the chance to defend and counter against your enemy but in slapping tournament you will need to receive the attack directly which is a battle of the strongest, I watched some clips on youtube and honestly I don't think I could bet on something like that.

Lol don't make it super serious matter because we are hundred of years far from the musketeers world meaning we don't give a damn what happened in the past.

People nowadays are finding everything that can make people happen even by only watching this.

so slapping tournament comes to process ..

Noooooo, this is one sport that I can never want to be an athlete for, lol. Its would be a reactive one in several ways. As a fan, you get to feel the blows upon your athlete and it would be funny too. Though for the winner and his fans, it would be the type of feeling that "the fugitive bov" in home calls sad/mad, a wiered feeling indeed.

Don't believe any platform is offering a bet on this one at the moment. Though its likely to be an easy bet should you have a prior idea to how hard a particular athlete slaps and I believe size or weight could have some effect to this. So, a statistics on these, how hard the athletes palm is, weight and prior contest is an edge.

There are many competition that we can use rather than Joining in this such kind of competition we’re in we weren’t able to show what are the people capabilities are it is indeed hard to Know that we aren’t able to show what are talent really is in this kind of tournament. There are more tournaments where we can show our talents or skills to prove that we are a winner and slapping seems a shame ti announce where a winner.

ugh, arm wrestling can cause serious trauma to your shoulder and wrist so that would also be ill-advised for minors. As for being too aggressive for minors...well, at that age only a handful of kids can really slapp anyone with any damaging consequences. The technique is not there and sometimes the power is not there. FUrthermore, you would likely get more brain trauma hitting a ball with your head in soccer than in slapping.

Was this considered as a sport? this looks like it's not a sport to me but of course its a competition for sure there's a betting here they will not hurt each other just for fun. I don't think sports betting website will include this to their list of games or sports. I think those you see were just an advertisement of that website but no one's for sure I haven't visited the website yet and haven't checked if they offer it on their website.

The first time I saw action from this tournament was on Facebook. I think it would be ridiculous to be an athlete of this tournament because it would probably be very risky compared to the UFC. It is very unfair to an opponent who is heavy and his palm is thicker and bigger than his opponent's because one slap can cause concussion and other disturbances. I prefer street fighting to slapping which is currently considered a sport.

It used to be very viral on Facebook, I even like one page about this tournament it's good for entertainment but not for sporting events, participants do not have defense, it's not about slapping it's how strong your cheek and how you can take those slaps, I like the compilation of slapping knockout, it's been harder than a boxing punch because on boxing they have a globe to protect and this slapping can cause damage to your brain, this kind of sport is insane.

True, I can remember well how they endured the pain and shock after the hard slap that knocked them down. This is the craziest sport I've seen so far on Facebook. Somehow people were eager to see and cheer after one of the opponent KO because of the strong slap. Obviously this is entertainment and it's much more stressful than arm wrestling.

More stressful indeed, imagine how hard that slap that will triggered the pain!

But there are people who are enjoying with this kind of tournament, seems that people who watch it online
have different opinions some may enjoy seeing the endurance of two players accepting hard slaps and try to keep standing.

Social media hypes and until to date they are bringing this sports being notice around.

I am sure that is indeed really hurtful for them. But as long as they can enjoy the tournament, they will not feel too hurt as they can have a chance to win. But maybe for us, that will not be worth doing because we can not imagine getting those slaps. I see that they really have good control with their emotion because if someone gets a slap in their face, the first thing that they will do is getting mad and give a punch to them ;D

That's really hurtful. I think that even if they're enjoying being slapped or to slap someone when it's their turn to be slapped, there's still the pain that they'll feel. But no matter what, they've chosen to choose it and that's already part of their life until they decide to get out of it and stop being a participant in that tournament. They must be doing something to strengthen their jaws just like athletes getting trained for them to have a stronger jaw that can stand and last to tolerate the pain that will be taken from their opponent when they're being slapped.

As you know, people are willing to do a lot for money. As I understand it, such tournaments bring not only a good income to the participants, but also give a great opportunity to show themselves to the world. All it takes is a few slaps in the face.

I wonder if any of the forum users would agree to take part in such a tournament? If so, what would you like to be rewarded?

You're right, people would do crazy stuff for the money as long as they can do whatever it takes and it won't harm anyone but only them. If there's someone who would take part in such a tournament, I think that's just for the experience but still good luck if there's someone who's really tough and have the guts to join. I cannot do it myself, I'm weak physically and maybe if a professional woman slapper slaps my chin, I'll drop-dead quickly.  ;D

I would also refrain from such games as I have several concussions and I try not to miss any more blows to the head. Judging by the force with which these guys hit, concussions are only a small part of what can happen.

I also believe crypto gambling sites will add slapping tournaments on their site but if the demand for it is high they will add it, so it, not crypto that the sport wants to get to.

Well said but casino adding a specific sport on their platform doesn't have to do with the popularity of the sport, most of the casinos integrate a specific game footing their users demands.
There is some casino in the UK that offer service for whales race and it because the user demanded for it. However, it will take alot of time before any popular casino will add this kind of tournament but the local casino where this tournament is held will surely add it to their platform.

Once they choose to be the player of that tournament, they know the risk and accept the risk. That is why the tournament might still continue, but if the sport wants to grow more than now, they really need to work hard in promoting in many places. That can help them get more attention from people from other place and if they think that the sport is interesting to them, they will follow it and watch it. I can not imagine what they did to make their jaw stronger than other people because that will be hard training for a long time.

What a question to the community lol. I don't think none here will participate in such.

Participants there want a unique idea to entertain people while at the same time, makes money. Maybe that sport (or is it even considered a sport) just came out from a joke, either during gigs, gimmicks, fun and they just made a professional approach for it by doing events with official rules.

Prior to the pandemic, I've seen the match having a big audience so I will say that sport is successful on their area.

In those days there was a very strong social hierarchy and there was almost no social mobility which is what created such a society, since the society of today is based on a freedom that is almost absolute then it was obvious that such values will eventually erode, so if you do not like this you do not need to watch it, but I have a feeling this could become really popular, after all as I have said before slapping each other is a popular drinking game in many countries so this sport may become popular among those people.

At a time, there was this comic slapping videos going about in my locality of some teenagers in there hostels and it was fun to watch. I never imagined it being a sport or something of that nature in the nearest future. It amazing how the ideas of sports have gone so far. Even to the far extent of crazy, lol.
Slapping for a sport is just another extent of we humans expressing how crazy we've gone fir the love of sports. Mind you, I mean no offense by actually bringing this up for those who are athletes in the sports and those that see it as an actual passion. I just that, for real, I want no part in being on the opponent side, waiting on a slap that could shift my jaw bones, lol... no it doesn't work for me, ill still like to chew on some beef and vegetables.

I think we will have much more versatille betting websites that will not only be focused on sports, rather on anything that can turn a buck. Then we will see more competitions being opened up to betting. We'll all be surprised on what people will be able to come up with.

I've never seen this kind of tournament as in, like does this kind of tournament really exist? It is indeed ridiculous to be an athlete of this tournament though we have also those tournaments that is risky like boxing, UFC and others but this slapping tournament is so new and yeah it would be so unfair to the player which has a light weighted and slim palm I bet it would only hurt the player instead of giving a pain or just having a points by slapping his opponents lol:) But I think that the organization of this slapping tournament has a fair criteria for the qualified player.

it exist. They're not just videos on youtube, they're freaking real mate. And to some street games you'll also see peoe doing crazy stuffs like this as they think it is fun and it's just a game, without knowing the risk of death.
Just a critical hit from the face can make you coma lol, so it really never be allowed IMO and videos on youtube must be shutdown.

This may be off-topic but I highly suggest watching and including arm-wrestling videos as such sport is definitely underrated. Unlike any group and solo sports available, the slapping tournaments are highly entertaining and intriguing. This is what separates this from other sports since what you need to develop is your muscles on your face.

I also do think that in slapping tournament, the fatter the person is, the harder his slap would be compared to a fit man. The raw strength and power that they have will make any skinny man fly away to the room after one big slap!

Well said, and maybe judge less, but honestly in this case, I respect every sport, but is this really a sport? I mean boxing is different, it is strategy and movement, fitness, but hammering your hand into another's face just once? How far have we come now?

I've never been slapped in my life but after watching this slapping tournament I will avoid getting slapped, it's gaining ground in social media we might see this in the mainstream tournament, honestly, the first time I watched this event I was just curious but I end up watching more of this, it's good that there are no participants that spit blood, I think this is good for two people who hate each other.

But the problem here, is that if you received the slap in wrong part of your face, you will be prone to potential bran injury. So I think, this is a dangerous sports for me, but at the same time a fun one to watch. For those players that will participate on this event, they should know the potential risks that they may be facing with. Because it is not a joke having brain injury.

sometimes you need it, for you to realize something, you can ask me if you wanna try 🤣 trust me Imma give you my best slap!
Might be after that you'll even forget your problems 😁
from what I remember there was already an incident in regards to slapping, that was so long ago so I really don't remember but, afaik it was a hard slap but in a wrong part of the head which has been a critical as it hit on the ears.

I have never seen the subject of a slap tournament but it seems that the rules of slap competition after country are quite simple. Both slippers stand face to face separated only by a small standing table that is enclosed between them charak dusted the palms of their hands with white powder for a few minutes and allowed them to strengthen their position to better resist the blows of their opponents. Events are great for slapping.

That is the risk that every player will get if they decide to join in that tournament. The slap will be powerful, and if that opponent doesn't feel strong enough, he can faint, and the worst thing is he can get an injury in his brain, as you said. Getting a slap is hurt, so I can't imagine how it feels if we participate in that tournament and get a slap from strong hands. That will be shaking in my head, and perhaps, I can't stand for a long time like them.

Not really. As in any other sports or competitions, personal feelings towards your opponent do not matter most of the time, and can actually hurt more than help. And don't worry about getting slapped in regular life. There is no way you would be standing calmly in front of someone who is about to slap you.

I think each country differs in subtle ways but I think everyone employs the same things that you said. I don't think that it should be a part of an event because it can stand on its own as a tournament and not just some carny sideshow.

The fist game is better than slapping as it can check the strength of the players unlike in slapping games that will be too much hurtful but will not determine any skills the player have. It's quite hard to determine which player will be a winner as everyone can win as long as they will allow themselves to slap someone for no valid reason other than winning. It's onlybgood for girls who have issues to play this tournament.

I completely disagree with this assessment. You can use skill to your advantage and knock out or daze your opponent while slapping them. The top guys use much more than just power and it shows. And when you say fist game I am assuming you mean things like MMA and Boxing or Kickboxing.

Maybe there are some techniques that the player is learning to know how they should slap the opponent. This sport is different than MMA, Boxing, or Kickboxing and I guess it is a new sport that many people do not know. Like the other sports, the player needs to learn many things before becoming a pro player in that sport. And for us who watch that tournament will feel that it is not a sport.

Just got this from my feed it's one of the slapping tournaments between a bodybuilder and an arm wrestler this kind of tournament is organized by a company and people can watch via a pay-per-view and can cast a bet.

https://www.facebook.com/OfficialCSF/videos/313061330462827

The bodybuilder knocks his arm wrestler opponents, from this video we can conclude that even a slap can produce a knockout.

A fist strike causes more damage to the upper tissues because the knuckles have the ability to tear and chop, and a palm strike, if properly applied, creates a stronger concussive force because the area of impact is increased. Therefore, there is nothing surprising here.

It can knockout especially if it hits the mandible and jawbone squarely and with a solid impact, it's the equivalent of punching in the chin. And I did expect the bodybuilder to win since he has a more developed muscles needed for the slapping compared to an arm wrestler.

In my opinion, the main criterion for such competitions is the competitor's ability to withstand the blow of the opponent. I don't know why, but some people have this ability. Even if they are hit hard, they don't get knocked out, they just get lost for a split second and come back to normal. I've met one guy like that in my life. He easily survived a fight against four guys thanks to this ability.

I have been slapped a few times in my life but all of them as part of a game, not the one I described before in which people slap each other for fun but another one that also includes slapping and even as a game believe me it is not fun at all, a hit with the fist closed is way more powerful and it hurts you a lot more but receiving a slap is kind of humiliating, so if you can avoid it then do so even if it is part of a game.

A slap with the closed fist can break your bones, but a slap with the open hand right on your ear can kill you as well if you get some unstoppable bleeding issues in your brain. That's just such a stupid sport to play, but those who participate must blame themselves. If they enjoy it, let them get slapped! :D

^ Tell me what is the shape on his face, probably that guy that you have said is that have a big jaw face which commonly survives in slapping or even hit with a hard punch, they are still capable to survive such games like also in boxing. Nevertheless, I wonder how they will survive on that kind of game, there could be consequences, it may cause complications like bleeding your ears, it could be nerve damage that runs in your jaw or connecting into your brain and facial numbness, or even facial paralysis. This game is totally brutal and deserves not to be well-known.

Yeah brutal but how brutal if you do compared it on Boxing or MMA? For sure those sports are more life threatening or risky when we do talk about injuries or possible accidents.
If it turns out this slapping sports becoming more popular then so be it because people do find it to be interesting even on my part it isnt really much that
appealing same as you said.
No skills required and all the thing you do need is to have a tough face or check to survive each slap. hehehe

He has the most common Slavic face shape. I wouldn't say he has big cheekbones or a jaw. He doesn't have huge muscles and he looks like a regular guy. The only thing I noticed is that he's very wiry and fast. I don't think that ability can be trained or developed in any other way. Rather, it depends on the individual structure of the head.

A tough face? Like angry looking? :D That will not save you any more than a big biceps will get you a victory in an arm wrestling tournament. The technique is required with slapping as with any punching or kicking activity. Sure, if you don't want to have any result with your slap then you don't have to have technique.

Sometimes, we can underestimate someone who does not look like anything. But then, that person can show us what he has and that can make us amazing. Maybe wiry and act fast is his advantage or he will have other things that he is hiding from the public. Sometimes, it will be necessary to give a surprise or shock therapy to the opponent to make a wrong analysis about our power.

There are sports in which there is occasional contact, like soccer, and despite this the sport it is not known for producing long term effects when it comes to the accumulated damage to your brain, however when this contact is repeated then it can have serious consequences, so while I do not think this is as bad as boxing and other fighting sports it is obvious that participating in this kind of competition with regularity is going to produce similar results given enough time.

100%, and I bet if you were to produce professional neurological records of the brain before and after a slapping contest and you check someone who is up against one of those giants in that sport, if that dude gets hit extremely hard I am quite sure there is at least a tiny little bit happening to the brain. The slapping is just so brutal because you are not even allowed to move your head while the opponent slaps you. With good precision he hits you with 100% force. That can't be particularly healthy...

To be honest, I don't like this tournament because it's not a sport and it's more suited as a slap contest. I don't see any strict rules in this tournament because someone who hits his opponent's ear will most likely win while his opponent is KO. I just watched the video after finding this thread, I'm sure it would never be called a sport. I would never have dared do it for $400-$500 as a prize for the winner of that contest as mentioned in one of the sources I read.

This has skills also mate so i guess this can be consider as sports , though slightly boring to watch as the competition only runs for both exchanging slaps and nothing more interesting in the event.
well its about the capacity to beat the opponent no matter what's their differences are.

It was crazy to join this kind of game, I don't know if there are specific criteria for joining or it's up to you. Like in boxing or even in MMA where there is a need to weigh in but in this kind of competition, I'm not sure if it does.

Anyway, this is just a sort of entertainment. Some people like this and many were not (I'm one of those).

Whoa! I never thought that this slapping tournament would continue, I thought it was just a funny gimmick but it all really exist, but well it is good entertainment in my opinion,

And yes after a brutal fight from watching UFC a slight brutality with a funny twist this slapping tournament could surely cater, but I think it brings freshness in the betting industry and I think there are many other kinds of tournaments people could think of about to add on the sportsbooks.

But for some people, $400-$500 is big money and they will try to join in that tournament, especially in that country which I think slowly become popular. They will try to prepare themselves and maybe they will exercise themselves hard to win that tournament. I am trying to search on Youtube, and I see that the viewers are not too many or maybe I need to dig more to find if that tournament has huge viewers or the tournament trying to reach more viewers.

Basically I just don't like it when there are tournaments that show direct physical contact like this, maybe boxing and MMA have become entertainment for the audience. But for me personally, for boxing it might still be acceptable because only a hand boxing is equipped with the boxing gloves itself which makes it safer, but for MMA tournaments and slapping like this having direct physical contact for me it's not entertainment. But indeed, for those who like high adrenaline and hard challenges like this will find it an entertainment but still, this kind of physical contact looks very dangerous and not everyone likes it.

It's not all about entertainment, but money as well. Since you're not in the ring all you have to do is bet, win and make money. Same thing to those people who want to risk their lives in the ring just to make money and make a fame.

While I'm into boxing and MMA since its a fight between professionals that train train themselves for months or even years just for the fight with good match making ofc, this slapping tournament seems entertaining but you always get a facial expression of getting hurt when the other party is too strong for the slap. I remember watching a huge guy vs a tiny one and I seems like I feel the same pain each slap of the huge guy.

Better keep this foto in your memories because that dude with his arms pumped up with oil won't make it for much longer if he doesn't get this shit removed anytime soon. I seriously ask myself how dumb someone must be to inject oil into your body...

Back on topic: does anyone know what the rules are who gets to start a 1 vs 1 fight? I mean if you are up against a real beast and he gets to start, chances are high you won't even make it to your turn to slap the other guy in the face. 

It is the basic rules for the tournament:


Source: https://www.ktvq.com/news/trending/russian-strongmen-compete-to-win-slap-championships

You can try to search on Google to find out the other rules of the competition.

I can not imagine what will happen if that hands landing in my face  ;D

That will hurt and maybe that will swell and I can not see anything. His arm is big, and I think he already exercises hardly to win in that tournament.

Well this kind of competition will never be called sports in my opinion, and it is pretty much dangerous for people with a petite physique but even though this kind of thing will not make it an official kind of sports it sure good enough to make a bet on it, I really think we should bet to the person with the huge muscle that you can be sure can make a huge impact and damage on his opponent,

I have seen many videos on the internet and most likely people that are competing in this kind of competition all have a body mass that could absorb the impact of the slap, if not huge muscles that could deliver great damage.

His arms are fake. I don't know if you have an idea about how that works, but this guy is known for injecting oil, like pure oil, straight into his muscle. The body isn't able to cope with it and it stays where it is as a piece foreign to the body. It leads to inflammation but the blood isn't able to heal and remove it. It's close to suicide. A lot of people die from it and this guy exaggerated so much, I don't expect him to live very long. It's highly poisonous.
Still I wonder who gets the first slap as the first slap can end the battle right there.

If they slapped you hard at the wrong part of your face, you will be prone to a very serious brain damage or injury. Which is why for me, this is somewhat a dangerous sport to explore with. Watching this is fun but I don't think it should be included in the official sports list. Betting on this may only be available on their local bookies only. But one thing I can say, this is truly an entertaining activity, without of course potential injury from both players.

Mixed martial arts is more prone to this brain damage rather than slapping since palm is more softer than a close fist with very thin gloves. The only thing that I saw some fairness concern here is the order of who will gonna sla first since the later slapper have already damage and might affect his slap power. I believe the first one who will slap has the edge on the match.

Maybe there are requirements for people who want to join in that competition or tournament because it can get them in danger. Betting on the person with the huge muscle will not always win us because I think a little guy does not seem too strong but can beat his opponent. Maybe that will be only popular in that country and their people called that game a sport.

Maybe that is fake, but I do not know for sure. Even if that is fake, it looks real. I only think about what will happen to that guy if he injects himself with something that looks not dangerous to him because I am sure that it will impact him in the future. That will really hurt to get the first slap because our head will be shaking strong.

Like all the other new sports it will become popular if companies will pick and sponsors their events I have seen some slapping tournament with sponsors their likely sponsors are gambling casinos, pain reliever :D gyms and vitamins it will soon become a big sporting events if they can build a big community and they have active players.

Yes, it could seriously cause a great injury if the slapper could hit the prone part of your faces like the ear and other parts that are crucial to be hit with a slap, and even though there are rules in disqualification that they can not hit the Ear, and parts that are prone to damage, wrong calculation or accidents can surely occur if the slapper is not accurate with his hit,

I also think that this kind of thing will only be available in their local place for entertainment and can not be made as an official sport activity.


I don't really know if there are requirements to this kind of thing because I can see different kinds of people that are participating, Maybe there are medical examinations before doing the slapping match or there are certain division like in the UFC to differentiate their weight class but one thing is for sure this thing is very popular on their country.  

Maybe that sport can be popular in their home, but in the other country, I am not sure about that because other people will think that it is not a sport. It still needs time before that slap tournament can become famous like the other sports. But I am not sure if that slap tournament can be added to the sports betting casino but we will see it later.

I do not know too. I guess medical examinations will be used before the tournament, and especially we are still at the pandemic. The officials need to make sure that all players are healthy, safe, and not carrying any disease. I am not sure if the weight will be one thing that is needed before the player can join in that tournament. One thing that they prepare is the power to slap their opponent and beat them.

All of that will come with the creation of a formal organization that will facilitate all the athletes and all their needs. It's not a huge stretch we can see that happening. American Football was once considered fringe and unregulated but things change and sport moves on. Maybe they change it up a bit.

I really think this competition needs a change in the rules, the fact that you cannot avoid the hit at all makes it really problematic, even in the sport of boxing people need to wear gloves which not only protect the hands but slow down the punch and also reduce the punching power as well, and when we add that fighters can protect themselves and avoid incoming hits then you are not going to be hit as hard, while in this competition nothing like that exists and I do not even see weight divisions at all.

That will need many preparations before having a formal organization that can manage all of the tournament. Or they already have that organization but we do not know about that. As long as many people like to watch or even bet on that sport, it will grow and reach more people. It will be a matter of time before seeing that sport becomes bigger like the other sports.

That defeats the purpose of slapping tournament if you can evade the strike and your opponent can't, what kind of gas you're huffing? Also the gloves in boxing doesn't protect the fighters, remember that those gloves have a weight and they are pretty devastating item in the right hands, the only protection that someone needs in a fight like this is a mouth guard.

You do not know for sure? :D Sorry but that makes me smile at least! :D It is absolutely fake and that dude is even known on Youtube for it. Can't recall exactly but there is a number of videos about him and also about people in general who blast oil into their muscles in hopes to look better afterwards. You are of course not a tiny little bit stronger afterwards as it does nothing to your muscle fiber but harm it. If you ask me it also looks ugly like hell, more like cancer or a tumor than a well formed muscle...

Yes, I do not know. Blast oil into their muscles? Hmm, that is interesting. But if they did that, I do not think that they will attract more attention from people because that will be fake. I can not imagine what will happen to his muscle after he blasts it because if he uses a chemical or something like that, it will have a side effect in the future. Yes, it could be cancer or a tumor, which I hope that he will be okay in the future. But I think slapping tour needs to have a strong muscle and hopefully, no player will try to use a medication or inject something to help them become strong.

I think that they already have an organization although informal and most of the rules are prioritizing safety plus they will not be able to organize tournaments if they don't have any of those organization that will handle and manage stuff for the tournament.

to be honest, when I first saw this slapping contest on youtube I think whether their mouth would be safe!
slapping contest is different from others, avoiding slap is forbidden

It's very natural actually if the players are given a little protection to avoid things that are not wanted
though as far as I heard, the slapping contest had minimal injuries

That's just the natural progression of sports and there is no way around it. And it might be for the best. It's actually a good parallel with the situation of crypto today. You might not want to have it, but to legitimize it you need some centralized type of governing body. I can't see a way around it at this point, in sports that is. I mean, look at what a mess boxing is with its numerous ruling bodies...

If they are really serious about the sport, they will make the organization become legal and announce to the public that they are now fully legal. If they want to make that sports become globally, that is what they do because that can make more people know that the sports exist and can be considered a new sport in their country. Although slapping now is not really a sport, maybe that can be one part of the sport. Who knows?

This oil is called synthol, it consists of many components, including analgesic... I don't know what they inject it for, but it really looks terrible! I don't think it's any help at all in slap competitions...

I've read something about using synthol to increase the size of their muscle but that's just it–it's like cheating which I think is used for body building competition because of how big your muscles look like. There's no added energy of whatsoever on that thing because it's not for gaining energy it's just good for a show. Unlike steroids which is mostly common in sports and body building competition it has a great effect and boost of performance in terms of sports such as boxing but it was prohibited to use in pro boxing.

Can you tell me what is meant by Slapping Tournament ? I never heard of any such tournament. Can you send me link of some matches or probably share some pictures from that tournament.
I think not many people know about it, so its less likely that you will find betting site listing it on their sites. They only list popular games and tournaments.

Oil has some dangerous characteristics that prevent the body from naturally transporting the poison out of the body. The damage that oil can cause can easily be fatal and we have seen that dozens of times before. If you are a bit into bodybuilding you may know a couple of stories about it. I can tell you it is a disgusting and painful death because your organs start defending like hell but they can't succeed against that fucking oil.
Injecting oil into your body to make your muscle look bigger is stupidity x 1000. It also looks shitty as you can obviously see...

Here you go bud;

I never heard of that oil, but from what you say, it will have an effect to the player in the future. I wish they know what they're doing and not using that oil instead to just practice with the others exercise to have a power.

If the effect is not happen in a short term, that will give you the effect in the future. I can not imagine what will happen to their body if they inject that oil to their body. I only that if someone doing bodybuilding, he needs to consume an healthy food, vitamins, egg and other protein that can help him to build a big muscle. But if that use oil, medicine, or even using an illegal things that can make their body in danger, that will not be a good idea.

I have a question to all experts in the slapping sports. What about doping? Do they control for it? In my opinion there is a high likelihood that people take pills to reduce pain. Is this legal? The more professional this sports get the more anti-doping-controls are needed.

Doping has been used for some athletes to gain more power than the others. I do not know if they control for it but it prohibit to use in any of sports. Maybe some athletes still use doping without anyone knows but sooner or later, they can get caught beause of consume it. What I know is only a spray that can reduce the pain which always use in football and other sports which use body contact.

I do not see where you get from my post that one fighter will be able to avoid the incoming hits and the other cannot, both will have that possibility, in my opinion this could make the competition better as the slap will not be as common and will be even more sweet when they finally connect with the opponent, also the gloves do in fact protect both fighters when it comes to boxing, as I said it protects the hands of the one trowing the punch, after all we have seen fighters breaking their hands even with gloves, and it also protects the one receiving the punch, as you said the gloves have weight and while this makes the punch harder at the same time it slows it down, which on average should balance itself out, but the fact the punch is slowed down gives the opposite fighter a chance to evade it or block it in an easier way which protects him over the long term.

For sure any taking of drugs or pain relievers would really be that prohibited and when this sports become big then for sure they would really be mindful about these kind of probabilities but for now it isn't really that getting that much of attention then there might be instances where these things been skipped out.

I agree on some points that you had mentioned that the more this sports getting some traction then those controls are much off needed but honestly
it isn't really that much of a concern since those can be easily checked.

Oil does absolutely nothing but harm, at least in the form they inject that stuff into their bodies. The body reacts with inflammation, which it always does when it wants to get rid of some bad stuff, but in this case it doesn't work. So the immune system is permanently in an alert state. That can't be good, even a child could tell...

I mean, in general, yes, doping should be controlled in this sport as anywhere else, when the top managing organization is formed. However, regulating doping isn't working anywhere, so it would be hard to imagine that this would be any different. Doping control is a work in progress and no complete model has been devised so if slapping does regulate that, they will not have a good percentage of success. 

Hopefully, the oil will not harm their body in the long term because if it's happening, the immune system can not prevent the damage and make their body drop and cause death. Maybe they will not think about what will happen to them in the future because they only want to win the tournament. It is better to exercise and practice our body to have power and beat the opponent in that tournament.

Synthol is widely used unfortunately and its side effects have been documented. Here is a short list off Synthol issues:

nerve damage.
blockage of the pulmonary artery, which supplies blood to the lungs.
heart attack.
stroke.
infectious complications.

It obviously depends on the dosage used and no short-term indications do not mean any long-term complications will not appear (as noted above in the list). Seeing that this was mentioned in a slapping tournament thread, Synthol will NOT give you and advantage in anything, it will only make you look like a person who has some issues. That's it.

This is a growing event now mate and i have been watching this for years now so meaning that they already gather big community and also the organization is getting bigger and bigger.

As you say, at the beginning of any competition many people are not going to care too much about stuff like this as what they want is for the sport to gain attention and participants, however once the sport gets big enough then we will begin to see those kind of tests being forced on the participants in order for the competition to be as fair as possible, as far as I know this is already happening in some esports, it may not seem to make sense to apply those tests to them but when we take into account that some drugs give higher focus then this could give a huge advantage to those that use it.

Regarding pain relievers, you have to be pretty fucked up to decrease the amount of pain from a direct slap, and then your timing, accuracy, and strength would be completely off because of pain killers do that to a person. There is a reason professional fighters do not use them.

In sports like this muscular appearance might seem very much deceptive and could make one bet against a slim competitor. And at the end the game turns around. Placing a bet on a game I don't have prior knowledge about is a no for me because I have lost a huge fortune taking up such adventure. So if I must bet in slapping competition it definitely means I must have followed up series of performances by the competitors so I can analyze their strength and weakness then bet based on my analysis and not betting blindly

What's needed in this kind of game is that the muscles involved in your slapping ability needs to be refined and strengthened and sometimes the not so bulky and cut out ones are dominating the tournament, just look at Vasily Kamatski, he isn't the most bulky guy in the game but he is the one that is most look forwarded player because he can knockout opponents and he once was filmed slapping a watermelon and blasting it.

Geez, the damage from Synthol is such dangerous, but I am curious why they still use that to their body? It is not worth consuming that as the damage can risk their life for a long time. But maybe those player does not know what the impact.  No matter how many dosages are used for them, that still give a side effect to their body. I think they need to prohibit using Synthol for the player but they need to do exercise without using that.

That's a lot of practice to do that. Just like someone hitting a piece of wood and breaking it. And yes, before betting on this kind of tournament, one should really do a background check and at least following the personalities involved. Betting blindly on this sports will just incur losses. However, I believe this kind of sports will only make in their local betting scene. I don't know if this sports has been conducted outside of Russia.

I don't know if a smaller guy without big muscles can win against a big guy with big muscles, because this tournament I think with big muscles and having a bigger physique will certainly be easy to win. But, if the little guy can really beat the big guy, then I guess it's not about his strength but about the technique he has in delivering the right slap.

While high strength is always going to be a factor I think in a competition like this it is not as important as it is in boxing, and this is because the opponent cannot evade the slap, this means that the one that has the turn to slap his opponent can take his time and aim perfectly to the spot he wants to hit and the other person has not other option but to take it, this makes it easier to give a perfect hit, unlike what we see in boxing in which very rarely you will hit your opponent exactly where you want and you need to compensate that fact with higher strength.

Dont know on why you do compare this to boxing since its totally different when it comes or in talks on where those hits would came from and where it would surely land or hit.

On this sports you cant evade but rather you would be focusing on how to survive each slap your opponent would give you thats why its totally unpredictable on where you do go down or when get some serious hit.

I dont see this to be considered as sports though but since interest is really rising up then its no doubt that this one would getting some attention now.

Techniques and how his face endure the pain, in the eyes of viewers big guy always have the advantage.

I don't know if there's something special with that small guy if he can win and continue playing against other big opponents
all in all it's tough to choose if that body built is really an advantage to win or there's a possibilities of rigging this fight and
let the smaller one to win.. :P

Well, isn't that what everyone should do when they are doing sports betting and they want to choose which player they want to bet on? I think that's the most important thing for sports betting is you know who you're betting on so you have some confidence on your bet.

As I have repeatedly said the main skill that must have a participant of such competitions is the ability to keep the blow and not to lose consciousness from the crushing blow of the opponent. It reminds me something of the test for getting a carp beret in the Russian army, when the test subject must last 12 minutes in sparring. 

And this is something that cant really be predicted when it comes to make out some bets on particular contestant or contender on where you wouldnt know on when they would be taken down.

I dont actually see involvement of skill as these physical capabilities would totally be depending on how you can endure those heavy blows made by opponent and since you cant dodge then

this will really just vary on power or on how strong you would be slapped on and this is where the deciding factor for this game.There should be some category when it comes to weight because this would really be
a big factor when it comes to differences in power.

There are two technical camps in boxing, one thinks that strengthening of the neck is better for absorbing blows to the head, and the other is that a relaxing of the head could be a better option for that. It's hard to tell and will probably be something that will be from person to person.

You are totally right but look at those arms of that dude. I don't need to be a doctor to reliably tell you that that dosage the guy took is certainly dangerous :) When you arm is bigger than your upper leg, you either skipped leg days forever or you took a lot of synthol. Just looking at it makes me feel sick.

My first thought about reading the topic was "slapping tournament really?" I do think that these things needs to be regulated thoroughly. Plus this is not something which goes around in various countries. But seem weird ofc might be interesting for some people. But the funny things is you can not only watch it on ESPN but also bet about it on Rocket. Therefore if you were looking to bet you can try that. There are actually quite a few people interested in this. I do think you have to understand the fact that if it did accidentally hit ear or even the maxillary nerve, the damage would be irreparable. There will be quite a probelm! I do not consider this a sane thing.

Maybe I am doing it because both activities have as an objective to hit the other party, what am I supposed to compare this slapping tournament, to soccer? In boxing you need to also train to endure hits from the opponent as it is impossible to evade every single one so this is no different, in fact a boxer that cannot take hits and has a crystal chin has no future regardless of how high is his punching power and his ability to evade and the same is true in this competition.

ahahahahaha, yeah, of course, you are right, you can tell from space that this guy completely photoshopped his biceps in real life by using Synthol. But there are other examples where Synthol, when used in smaller dosages, can enhence a certain muscle for a short period of time for bodybuilding shows. But even those smaller dosages, in the long run, are dengerus.

As far as I know some psychostimulants such as pervintine (later called methamphetamine) were used by soldiers in many armies because they are able to keep a person in a state of heightened activity. I read somewhere that under the influence of methamphetamine a person does not lose consciousness even if he receives a very strong blow to the head. It is quite possible that the organism of some people is able to produce similar substances on its own.

No wonder VADA is required for boxers because drug substances like meth can make their body immune to hard hits. I've read those stories in Hitler's time where the meth is used by his soldiers to keep up. The history of meth dates back to the scientist of Hitler who created all kinds of experiments on the human body.

I'm not convinced that relaxing to be an option, it's just going to strengthen the injury. With the slap like that famous fat guy of slapping tournament, your head could turn 360 if you relax.

Indeed, strengthening the jaw and neck will likely make them able to withstand a hard slap and is not a good reason for you to relax to receive a slap, it will just bounce you off easily. Strengthening yourself with drugs I don't think is the right way, because if you use it every day then of course it will have a bad impact on your health from time to time, diligent exercise and discipline are the best ways for an athlete.

But honestly I cam imagine that many of those guys participating in slapping tournaments do take pain suppressants in advance. It would even make sense from a performance point of view. Or maybe, maybe if you get slapped you feel so much pain that you go nuts even harder when it is your turn! :D

A 7eleven drug test could detect that from a mile away, and I have yet to hear of someone that produces that naturally, or if produced, the amount is enough to make any difference. I don't think there's much to this, some people can take a blow and some have glass chins. That's the way it goes in fighting sports.

While I will not discard that some of those people participating in these competitions are using something like this, assuming they do not have to do drug tests as the competitions are small, I think the same as you, for some reason some people are just naturally way better at taking hits, and while people get impressed by the ability to produce damage, truth to be told those that participate in any sport or competition similar to this need the ability to resist a lot of damage otherwise they have no future on such sport.

That's possible but where to know those rules from slapping tournaments and to know if those participants aren't taking anything to take advantage of their opponents? this is very new but it's fun to watch although myself cannot attain to be slapped in the face.  ;D

Using drugs with such tournaments aren't really allowed but if those slap tournaments allow it then for those participants, they won't hesitate to take it. But if it's not, they won't.

I don't think doping works that way :D There are many sports where there is a list of banned substances and the athletes do not hesitate to take them if it works for them. UFC even had a TRT rule before where they allowed it, and the fighters abused even that. However, doping in slapping tournaments does not make any sense.

Why not? I wrote above that there are some substances that are capable of resisting loss of consciousness even after a very hard blow to the head. No one can be 100% sure that anyone involved can take substances similar in their actions to methamphetamine.

Well, that can happen in the slapping tournaments because we are new in that sport as we know that some players consume that doping to have more speed or something that can help them increase their ability. But the association somehow will know about what they did before and they will get them and give them to get the punishment. If this allows the player in the slapping tournaments to use doping without anyone knowing, they can get caught.

Yes, some drugs can benefit an individual's mental and physical health by boosting their confidence, but this may be unjust to some. This type of activity, especially if it is prohibited in competitions, will result in them facing the repercussions for breaking the rules, and it will, of course, damage the experience of other individuals who will participate in the event. When it comes to tournaments with a large prize pool, you should always play safe and avoid doing anything illegal so that if you win, you won't have any more problems.

Yes, that will not be fair for some player who does not use that drugs and that is why the committee needs to guard the tournament or other sports show to be fair enough for all players. If they are suspicious about one or two players who indicate use those drugs, they can ask them to physical checking to know if they are free from the drugs or not. Those players who use drugs to win the competitions need to punish. If necessary, they are forbidden to join in any tournament for some period and the worst they can not join in that tournament forever because of using drugs.

The only way an organization can know if someone is taking anything or not is to administer random drug tests, and those are expensive and are hard to organize, and even with those, athletes still find the way to dope by calculating how and what to use. I mean, random tests should make that impossible, but there are some steroids that have a half-life of one day so it's more of 'Who will blink first' situation.

Slapping does not allow everything here for the tournament they usually tried to keep it near the local shopping centers to increase the overflow of spectators at the event where the tournament was held and the atmosphere of the tournament itself was a very pleasant scene. There are many rules and regulations for the sport and it is not easy to manage without skills naturally, this whole public needs proper service and traders find tournament lists from all around.

until now i still keep thinking that slapping tournament is the stupidest thing.  you will be unlucky if you meet an opponent who has a hard hit, your injury will be very serious and maybe the conditions in your brain will be disturbed.  even though the prizes are a lot, i never thought of joining a slapping tournament in my whole life, that's crazy.

I think it's not all about the strength at all because the substance of the drugs might boost their physical and mental stability, even on the sports like boxing or sports that's all about strength and sustainability does not support having a drug substance before the player goes to a match. Well i think even the player does not want because its all about their hard work so they keep focusing increasing their self for their match and not having become dependent on drugs.

With this kind of tournament some people might not be able to survive past the first five slaps being exchanged in my country. There is already poverty and hardship in my country, people have had to turn to difficult menial jobs to be able to get some little amount of money daily sometimes not even more than $8.

Sometimes you shake someone's hand and you can feel the numbness in their palms that have hardened from all the hard work. If someone like that is put into a tournament like this, the opponent will suffer because each slap will feel like being hit by a plank of some sort.

This sport is scary, lol.

I'm not really fan of this slapping competitions, this looks really bad hurting each other, who's tougher or not. I don't think online gambling sites would put this kind of match in their events probably this kind of match wouldn't be popular too to gamblers or to bettors, does anyone here interested to this kind of matches?

If you try to scan all the replies here you'll find the answer.
Infact, people aren't really interested in betting to this kind of sporting event, and you can't find any crypto bookies offering a betting lines. Instead we are all interested in seeing 2 people hurting each other with no way to defend yourself. Stupid! Lol

This has been way too over discussed and people are posting here with the same content.
I think OP should lock this thread already.

The first time I've read this thread I couldn't believe that this type of tournament really existed or practiced, i have searched it in the search engines and youtube to know if it is really happening and to my surprise it is legit. It is me who've been hurt the first time I've watch the game and this is the kind of game that I think I couldn't place a bet on. I think its crazy but not impossible that this game will not going to run out players if the compensation or the price is worth enough for the slap.

That's very scary. other than that the most likely thing is ear damage. I've experienced something like this and it's like hearing a buzzing sound in the ear just from a slap. What's more, if not ready and lets say act to relaxed, people could faint and seriously injured. and also the head is very close to all the vital veins in all parts of the body.

Even before this thread existed I had already seen this tournament when I was browsing videos that were on facebook. I was curious at first but after looking a little longer, I came to the quick conclusion that this slap tournament was not appropriate to stage. Honestly this is a tournament that not everyone agrees, maybe only a small part of the community can enjoy this, but I'm sure there are many of us against tournaments like this because this will not only affect the athletes themselves, but it will also have a bad impact for the community and also the children who watch it.

These types of competitions seem to me that they are somewhat humorous, but they are high risk, this is like full contact competences, everything can happen, even some competitors run with the latent risk of dying, because each blow can be equal to professional boxer blow According to its weight, and I have seen that sometimes it does not take into account the weights of the competitors and there is an imbalance there, since that disproportion can be advantageous for the competitor with more weight.

I have competed in Tournaments of Kung Fu and Hapkido, where the risks are very high, and sometimes there are many competitors that go directly to the ICU of hospitals. Preparation for this type of tournament should be a high level to withstand those blows or slaps, until now I have not seen any betting platform that offer this "event, discipline or sport" would be something innovative and could call attention.

In my personal opinion, maybe the game comes from traditional games of a country such as pillow punch, sumo or other games so that it becomes an attraction for many people to see it and in the end it becomes a tournament to introduce the game to the world community, even though it looks a bit enough cruel but of course in a tournament there will be special rules that must be made so that the participants will not suffer serious injuries, I think slapping game is not as extreme as other boxing sports such as MMA and UFC

What's the difference between this and MMA, Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai...? Also, sports where people hurt each other. The closest one would be Muay Thay where fighters don't use movement like boxers and MMA fighters, rather stand before one another and trade blows in the most technical way possible. And gamblers in Thailand eat that shit up, so there's that.

Yeah, so is boxing, muay thai and MMA. I would accept that you aren't a fan if you don't watch any kind of fighting sports in your life but if not then you are a hypocrite because slapping tournament is just like a fighting sports. Also, most people do have interest, I mean this thread won't last for long if no one's interested right?

I love matching Muay Thai but this is not about taking blows and punches, there are arts on their movements they duck defend via kick and take offense as their defense, it's hard to compare slapping to Muay Thai, in slapping you take it openly on Muay Thai you have to attack while your opponent attack and who has landed the best kick on his target and hurt his opponent will take the lead, slapping tournament is the only event I know that you have to take it openly and endure the hurt, the good thing about this you have an equal chance to hit each other, compare to other sports where you get hit or not same on your opponent.

I think you are misunderstanding what I wrote. I wasn't saying that MT and slapping are in any way the same nor that it requires the same level of technical proficiency. What I was replying to is that the person commented how it looks bad hurting each other and that gambling sites would not be interested in it, and then I asked how is the hurting side different in slapping from the sports I listed. You yourself wrote '...who has landed the best kick on his target and hurt his opponent will take the lead...'. So in a sense of hurting someone, it's still the same principle, making it openly or defending it is little to no matter in my original statement. Furthermore, if a boxer, MMA or MTguy, or girl sets you up you may very well take a precise shot open without defending.

and actually this is more passionate comparing to those you mentioned because in this each players will suffer 1 slap at a time while in muaythai , boxing mma and kick boxing that you can suffer multiple punishment .
so literally this sport is more gentle comparing to others.

This can be more dangerous since you are hitting directly to your face that is closer to your brain, this is why some players are experiencing headache after that so there's no safe tournament if its more on physical fight. We've seen players suffers from a big injury on many leagues, that's park of their profession and everyone should be ready for that because it can happen to any players.

I agree with swogerino.
This cannot be considered a sport at all.  This is just some kind of glorification of the humiliation of human dignity.  Everything is done in order to entertain the audience, but in this case, most of the audience will simply swear and will not continue to watch this "sport".  Well, I'm not even talking about when women participate - it's just disgusting to watch and you want to go up to them and start to separate ... This is just outrageous rudeness. 
In general, I am surprised at the intellectual level of those who organize such tournaments and those who watch it.

this...this actually surprised me, I actually missed that it could be viewed like that XD You are actually right and no, it's not more dangerous than someone throwing 12-6 elbows in MMA. But good catch. I still think it can be safer in 99% of cases if some fundamental rules are applied.

This kind of game or tournament is not an easy game this requires a whole stability of the mental and physical health of the player having a mistake on a preparations might damage the hearing, mouth and other parts can be dislocated for me it's more riskier game that boxing all the damage you will receives is directly to your head. It's looks like the battle of the life and death .

Theres an advert on there because it gets viewers but not for the right reason as its not a sport or anything with skill at all.  It would be more positive to be throwing bags at each other to trigger a tub of backed beans to fall on the opponent and probably just as entertaining.   I dont object except injury is possible and since its nonsense to begin with thats not really ok, its about as classy as hobo fighting or paying drunks to swing at each other, not something I'd stream.

I was watching a slapping match between siberian champion and a brazilian mma player days ago on youtube and it was really brutal. After each round a kind of paramedic had to check the vital signs and the injuries on each participant. The game doesn't last too long, because each slap causes a lot of damage at the head of the adversary. I guess after several years of intense blows, these guys will suffer from serious mental problems in a way it doesn't worth to participate this sport. On the other hand, the matches catch a lot of attention from the public, so it's undeniable the potential for gambling does exist in slapping tournaments.

I totally dislike and oppose such actives and games. We are human beings and such games are disrespectful.
I think we should discourage such games and convince people that these games should be avoided.
Good thing is that gambling on these games are not possible because they are not popular.

Most people in today's rhythm of life have so little free time that they don't have enough of it to deal with even their own problems, let alone solve problems of a social nature.

I wonder how you're going to prevent slap tournaments and convince people not to watch that kind of competition?

Yes, of course, the organizers of this show cannot be persuaded to give up such "competitions".  Especially if these are the traditions of the community.  
But you can, after all, translate them into a comic form for fun and laughter.  For example, there is a competition when people hit each other with pillows, when both stand on a log and then the one who first fell off the log loses.  In this case, you can, for example, make a glove with an imitation of a large and soft hand (something like a pillow) and make such a tournament humorous.

Well, you aren't wrong, but there is nothing we can do because people who participate these games feel violence rewarding and think it as a way to make a living from. Maybe someday sports like this won't exist anymore, as humans let their primitive instincts behind. But it's unlikely to happen. If gladiators' fights still existed nowadays people would be addicted to those games. From ancient times by now human taste hasn't changed.

Some videos reach to 2 millions views or more. Slapping popularity does exist and I'm sure people bet on the matches at least in loco.

There's still behavior inside that keeps calling that bloody instinct, this kind of game or sport whatever you call it is just nothing but pure humiliating,

It's not a normal behavior allowing someone to slap you in front of many, very disgusting but there are people who loves violence and they are willing to enjoy seeing someone being slap that hard,

We may see more instead of removing this kind of sports, as gaining attentions from social medias it will keep pushing forward.

Don't mistake, this sport could be listed in the next Olympics.
I also don't understand how people can pay so much attention to a "sport" as low as this.

As I said before, there are those who see much more brutality in boxing than in slappping, but I add to your opinion that this is a competition modality that has no technique and doesn't develop anything in the participants except brutality and a swollen face.

But... as I said, bizarre sports abound and this should probably gain more and more highlights.
Just out of curiosity, is there already a bookmaker for this?

Different lifestyle
Different time being spent into things
Different preference
Different views and perceptions
Different interest

Doesnt matter what tournaments would be molded of and what things been created neither its out of your interest but theres no way that you can
stop those who do see slapping tournament would look appealing or interesting.

It doesnt really require some serious rules but only to hit up the face of your opponent and take him down.

Can't agree. Slapping tournaments are shitty enough from any point of view. This is not a fight where the best one wins due to his willpower or skill. People just want to see some things which cross the red line and i can't agree that this should be tolerated. Today they looking at slapping tournament and tomorrow they will look at man-against-animal or male-against-man gladiator fight.

I've seen this game through MoistCrit1kal's stream become big from just being a regular back of the set slapping tournament to a tournament of its own complete with a larger prize pot and basic rules within the game prior. There's a huge possibility this could progress even further to perhaps have it be given a show for Russian people to enjoy. Olympics however would be a bit hard to reach since most games that are included in there all originated in Greece and as far as I know the basic criteria that a sport to meet in order to be included in the Olympics is to ensure that the sport originated from Greece itself. Funny that you mentioned that it doesn't require official rules when the hype around this sport had risen up so much so that it required them to include specific rules in the game like tiered warning system if you hit the neck or the ear. Some participants even take diets and training before their games so at this point it became a game that has gone serious despite the fact that it probably came from a couple of people memeing around.

Thanks for speaking this out loud here. I said something similar a while ago. The fact that these slapping tournaments have a growing audience doesn't prove that the slappers are crazy or strong and admirable, but rather that more and more people can't be taken seriously. Watching that shit and yelling and jumping out of joy when one guy destroys the other one with a single slap is stupid. I respect all opinions, but don't argue that boxing is the same. I don't really like boxing either, but I give boxers credit when they develop outstanding technique, endurance and will power and fight on a high level for full 12 rounds.

If you get a slap half on your ear and half on your face and you are braindead afterwards just to make people yell for a single slap, really...

Slapping tournament is the game of the strong. I can't just imagine someone slapping me without much aggression on them. Although I just keep on watching it because of the fun and reactions from fellow opponent. Although I don't know how they calculate the scores but I keeping wondering about how many slap an opponent will receive before giving upon the stage, cause some slaps used to be accompanied by high voelocity that use to affect the oral vain with some many adverse effects.

This is exactly the point that came to my mind just minutes into reading the replies thus far. Slapping for a sport has got no skill about it except that, you just end up hurting someone's face so badly by a mare swinging of the hands with a high velocity. That's just it and I don't see any skill either in gaming a slap. All that is to know about it is, if your able to manage the pain or not.
When it comes to boxing, you see a lot of skill there. From the approach, foot work, finding the right angle for an attack, countering an offensive from a defensive side, the endurance round and many others. You can learn a thing or 2 from the boxing as a sport but when it comes to slapping, I really can't say.

That's exactly what I'm thinking. To win the game, you must only build your endurance or stamina, not your skill. It does not require skills or extensive training to win a fight; anyone can participate if they can handle the impact of a slap or can slap extremely hard. That's why it's not being recognize in some as a sports because how does this thing will become a sport in the first place? no reason at all.

This kind of sports doesn't really need any skill and its true that the thing you should  focused to build if your stamina and endurance but since the  face or cheek would be mainly slapped

then I don't see on how your face would be trained off?   :D. Don't know on what kind of training on where you should focused on when you do tend to win this kind of sports.

The thing you should focus is on how you gonna knock out your opponent first and this is where slapping power or  in your arms would really differ.

exactly , this is just a stupid kind of game that in any point cannot be consider as sports , this includes no skills at all but only being stupid and purely comedy.

the very moment i have watched this years back? all i felt is funny and did not even think that is is a sport lol.

but for funny activities this can be considered i guess.

I just never thought a tournament like this was made for what purpose, because from a sporting point of view I think it's definitely not a sport. Indeed, if we look at the training process at least they train strength and muscles which of course they exercise but unfortunately, their goal of sport is only to make slap tournaments that look funny to some people. There are other tournaments that show your muscles and strength, not to channel them into a slap tournament.

I watch some clips about it I thought it was just for fun but didn't know that it was really a competition, just come to think of it receiving a direct hit on the face if they get it like most of the time I'm sure there will be in long term there will be a great consequences with that. I really don't think this is some kind of sport at all.

Hello guys, do any of you know if there is a television channel that can broadcast this type of competition? I have only watched videos through YouTube.

I have seen the preparation of these people for these tournaments, and it really is very difficult, they strive to increase their resistance with many exercises that are muscle growth style, resistance is also important, plus there are some of these athletes who train much more. His arms hit the other, that is, the arm that hits the slap is usually much stronger than the other and this is not very good, not only on a physical level but the blood irrigation goes much more to the trained side than the other.

Dude it's the same damage with boxing, I mean look at Ali, Roach and other fighters who suffered from Parkinson's Disease. So what's your point? That it's a direct hit to the face? Boxing and other fighting sport will more likely cause you injury than slapping plus most of the tournaments have mouth guards to protect the player from concussion.

I see News 3 WWMT show slap competition. Slapping tournament isn't popular that's why most of TV channel didn't show it, probably there's another channel in Russia since this tournament was popular on there. I also watch this competition through YouTube, probably most of user watch on YouTube.

Right on, these people are worrying over something that they see everytime they watch a bloodsport like boxing or muay thai, if you hate the game, just say it and don't say that it's going to cause damage to players, they consented to this and they know what they're in. We are in an era where workers and artists and almost everyone has some temporary rights.
I haven't heard of this news channel although I shouldn't since I haven't watched TV in a long time, I am surprised their showing this on live television. I do watch where OP said he/she watched the tournaments and games, kind of an hilarious guy and it's not his YouTube name, the name that OP gave was his Twitch, his name in YouTube is penguinz0.

the first time i watch the video in yt i know it was a pro sport  and if its for fun they wont be in an organized place with referees and staffs that assist them after the match finish and you can see before or after a match the players are check to see if they are in good condition and i think there are creams that they put and massage on their face to lessen the impact of the slap . this is thier choice tho so they are ready if whatever happens to them

It isnt really that big compared to other sports but if that one would really be getting some attention then there might be some recognition next and would be showed up on TV channels but for now it might really be just staying up to be popular in Russia but who knows that it would really become big on next years to come and its true that most of the time these competitions would be only be seen on Youtube.

On those mentions above about possible damage then i couldnt say that it woudl really be just similar to boxing.When it comes to impact then bare hand or no foam type of hits could even give more
possible damage.

 :D this is hilarious.  I have seen a few of these on YouTube before but I never knew that this was such a big "sport".  I honestly for the life of me can't understand why people would want to get the shit smacked out of them.  I have been slapped by x-gfs before and let me tell ya, even though they were dainty girls, it still hurts like a mother fckr! I wonder how often people get concussions from this, does anyone know how often that happens?  

It looks like it's more aggressive than boxing, so are the long term injuries, because boxing athletes dodge many punches, while in slapping all the hits literally fully hit the adversary's face without any chance of minimizing the damage received. Slapping is mostly about resistance and strength. Boxing involves some other skills like dodge that are always useful when facing a big challenge.
Due to this fact a weaker boxing player can overcome a most powerful one if he uses a good strategy. The same doesn't apply to slapping, so it's also a more obvious game, easier to predict the results.

Yes, it is very easy to predict in a slap tournament, just look at the large body size and strong hands will definitely win it.
because a big body and strong hands will produce a scary slap and will cause damage to the face, slap tournaments don't require a strong physique and as far as I know only doing fitness or lifting weights to produce a strong slap, and also strengthen the face so it's not too painful to receive the opponent's slap.

when compared to boxing I don't have much to comment because of the many differences especially timing.

Quite right.  There is no point in commenting on the differences between these competitions.  Boxing is obviously a traditional competition with well-defined rules, defenses and rules for determining the winners.  It has long been an extremely popular sport.  
Slapping tournament I think is just commercial entertainment, very heavily advertised.  As I understand it, it takes place in the USA, where they always come up with a lot of such crap.  This is not a sport, but just a stupid show for the public's demand.  
But I did not understand why in the second post of this topic there is a photo of the Russian "champion" Vasiy Kamotski, because I have not heard that such tournaments were held in Russia.

It is a tournament? it looks really brutal, receiving direct hit like that is really dangerous for both players though many people are still enjoying this I don't think this is something that people will be interested in placing bets with.

it is, read the first page and you'll see a photo of the competition and yeah, it is dangerous. they risk brain injury by participating in it. I wouldn't be surprised if there are people betting on it. I mean if there are people betting on boxing, MMA, etc... why not this, right?

Every slap after which a contestant is knocked out is in one way or another a concussion. These guys are so hungry for money that they are willing to traumatize their brains knowing that this can lead to very unfortunate consequences in the future.

Yes and even though it is always said to let people do whatever they like, in this case I would be shocked if my son came to me and told me he is now going to participate in slapping tournaments. What are you going to do? Cheer for him? Screaming "knock that dude out!!"?

Then the whole thing takes 10 seconds while you watch some guy slapping your son to the floor. As I said before I am not a big fan of boxing either, but I can at least see the effort these boxers put into their speed, precision, flexibility, endurance, technique, movement, and resilience. There is so much going on in boxing, especially on the highest level when a fight takes 12 rounds. That is an outstanding achievement to me even though I don't like the sport. Slapping? Really? What about ass or nuts kicking? Why not? If enough people like it? I am sure you can find an audience for nuts kicking!

   Slapping tournament is an hilarious game just a few weeks a go , I watched in youtube an it was make me fun even a brutal way but I don't think so that this game is a illegal cause  I thought first that slapping tournament is an intentional and no really legal except if there's an agreement.

  Yeah it's true slapping tournament for me is dangerous but besides that I think there's a contract agreement about that they agreed the consequences happen to the player. And I think also in this game that there's a history injury or died because they will dead on arrival on the stage so since there's an agreement there Will be no consequences.

at least you know that what you are doing is Post bursting right? posting consecutive post in same thread in less than 10 minutes duration  with no value at all? are you running towards your  weekly maximum posts?

please don't do this because this is punishable specially if seen by your manager.

what is more than risky in Boxing and UFC fighting? or muay Thai ? when fighters not just slapping their opponent instead they are almost killing.

and those are sports not this slapping that mostly women's way of angry .

I absolutely agree. I would not allow my child to participate in this type of competition, but I would send him to boxing classes, because the sport not only develops physical skills, but also raises self-esteem, which is useful in life. A boxer to be successful in the ring has to work hard on himself. To build a career in the ring, you need to spend more than one year on constant training and proper nutrition.

And how do you feel about the idea.  What is a tournament, it is something very similar to a performance that is played out in front of a naive audience in wrestling competitions.  After all, there are many well-trained tricks that allow you not to get serious injuries and at the same time look very entertaining and interesting.

Perhaps a performance is being played out in front of us here too?

I mean, it's obvious which sports are riskier but have you seen the people who participate in the slap tournament? don't underestimate a slap coming from an adult man especially when you are going to slap multiple times. just because I said that it is dangerous does not mean other contact sports aren't. besides, I only mentioned boxing and MMA because of the betting aspect and not the physical risk each of them has.

and I never said that this is a sport.

I would neither like when my son were to participate in such a competition as a slapper nor would I like if he was standing around screaming like a cheerleader when his favorite slapper humiliates his opponent. That is just stupid. I don't like boxing either because I think that our brain is so valuable, it allows us to do so many things, feel so many things and so on. Why get it slapped permanently until it might take damage and stop working accurately or maybe even lead to death? That is just not my thing I guess.

To understand that this is not a performance you should watch some tournaments. As I understand it, tournaments are filmed on high-speed cameras so we can see how the kick happens in slow motion. You can also see what the competitors' faces look like after the tournament. I don't think you can fake that. 

Do you still remember the names of the ex-gfs?  :D I can still remember them and I experienced 5 curious mind to try it out of 7 little ladies.  ;D
I have never been in this thread before as I thought there is no fun about that slapping tournament.
But after I watch a few vids with big men (really big) hurting their opponent so bad to stun them or make them sleep with powder all over the place, I said yes, this is good.  ;D It's funny in my opinion and you will be curious if someone will sleep due to hard slaps in the chin.

Bets are not available at Stake.com. Where could we put our money in?

Every professional sport causes serious injuries to athletes. Soccer players often have problems with their knees and feet, jumpers have problems with their spine, boxers have problems with their head.

To avoid serious injuries, you can practice boxing for 2-3 years. After that, you can just keep in shape. Such training makes a person very tough and strong in spirit.

These days people tend to find sports in any event or action and i think Slapping tournament is also a result of this. It was strange for me to know that this type of game will exist in the form of a proper tournament  :o
I think most people here come to know about this tournament after reading this thread here.

Second on this on where people do normally make out some ideas out of boredom and making things bit more serious even its not really not involving too much when it comes to skills or something.
I do also believe about this slapping competition or tournament do just came out in an idea and then making it a bit higher in recognition and making it as a sports?
Dont see much involvement with skills or whatsoever with this one but well its already there and we should deal with it.

The slapping thing has been going on for some years now, but now it is gaining more fame, if we take into account that Russia is probably where this type of sport is taking place the most (I say sport because it is the most classic way in terms of practice) According to what I have seen, the preparation of the athletes is strong, a lot of calisthenics and they usually combine it with crosffit exercises with a lot of weight, normally they train their shoulders very well, since the shoulder is where they have to have very good to develop all the strength and give a good hit.

Although it looks funny, it is a sport that is very dangerous, it could cause a concussion, or even a stroke, because the blows are quite strong.
