Title: [Doubt] (Powered by bitcoin) Bookmakers accepting SUMO Wrestling stakes?
Post by: Financisto on May 02, 2014, 05:56:17 AM
Does anyone know or ever heard about some Bookmakers that accepts SUMO (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumo) Wrestling wagers?

Couldn't find any nowadays, but I think it would be an interesting (bitcoin powered) gambling option...

BTW it's even hard to find traditional bookers with SUMO added as an alternative sport to bet.

I would love to know what kind of inside info you have on that for bets  ;D

Have you tried 5dimes? They have some obscure stuff

Unfortunately (or should I say fortunately?), I'm not an insider.

5dimes: no bitcoins available...  :-\

How much are you looking to wager? Per bet? How often? Desired minimum / maximum limits?

If you can find a reputable book, cash, bitcoin, or whatever that has odds for sumo wrestling or any odd sport, I can accept your bets but the juice will be higher of course unless already really high. Like if the odds were -110 / -110 on the book you find sumo wrestling, best I could do would be -116/-116. If its -120/-120 on the book you find, I could do -120/-120 too.

If you would be wagering daily or multiple times a week, we could set up an escrow to hold 5 or 10x the maximum amount you plan on betting and settle weekly or whatever.

The above^^^ goes for anyone  :) I like the occasional gamble on crazy sports like Aussie Rules for example, so if you got a crazy sport let me know and I'll see what I can do.

sumo wrestling does sound like something fun to bet on and watch.
Im pretty sure many of the sports sites would host that bet happily, where do you watch the matches ? got a link to a stream ?

Been a fan of sumo wrestling ever since watching blood sport (hehe i know, not accurate at all etc etc).

That's an interesting offer, as long as escrow is used for each and every bet.

There used to be free streaming before.

But now we have only some "pay-per-view" as you can notice here:
