Miss Universe 2018 betting discussion

[btc_angela]

Funny while I am stuck in traffic here in the Philippines you can hear the Jeepneys with their loud speakers on while driving listening to the live feed on the Miss Universe pageant. You can hear the people shouting with joy every time they hear Steve Harvey mention Miss Philippines, from top 20, top 10 to top 5 until the final 2 with Miss South Africa.

Top 3 on my list was South Africa, Philippines and Canada. Too bad Canada was dropped from the top 5. Surprised to see Miss Spain in the list of top 20.

Congrats to all Filipinos around the world. The country was won another Miss Universe and I'm sure that all Filipinos are celebrating, LOL. 1st runner up goes to Miss South Africa, I guess the betting public is correct in their prediction. LOL.

Actually, beauty parlors or beauty salons are closed or not accepting customers during the pageant 

They must be so proud hehehe. Meanwhile their president is doing summary killings because of his socalled war on drugs which we already know is only another way for politicians in power to collect money and have their campaigns funded.

Oh common dude, don't spoil the Filipinos having their second Miss U in the last 3-4 years  . Yes, they're doing good in beauty contest. Catriona also made it in the top 5 of Miss World in 2016 if I'm not mistaken. But this time, she can't be denied she really shows confidence and already acted the winner even before the contest begin.

We don't know what they are doing but all we know is that a lot of Filipinos are celebrating.

I don't think we need to include the thing our president is doing, it is great that our delegate won Miss Universe and it makes me happier with a lot of us supporting her. A lot of memes and other things are being made out of these but it is not out of respect but out of happiness and well, funny way of applying Filipnos sense of humour.

The more happier we are if we bet on the Philippines, with that, we have money to spend for the celebration.
It's the favorite in betting sites and those who bet on her to win feel surely feel confident because of her beauty and brain, she really deserve the title and we deserve to cash out our winning bet.

It's ironic that the question to Catriona Gray is about legalization of Marijuana. A few days ago, the President of the Philippines during his speech claims that he himself is a marijuana user to stay awake. The Malacanan Palace (home of the President) somewhat agreed about Catriona Gray's stand on legalization of Marijuana.

It will be really be ironic if the last questions would be something to do with state sponsored killings as the current Philippine administration have been suspecting of doing so since Duterte has taken office, LOL, but that's debatable.

I just had a P2P bet, didn't go directly on any sports betting, just like $20 friendly bet that Miss Philippines will take the Miss Universe crown and sure she did. Indeed not only is the Philippines celebrating, but the Internet itself is getting wild with her win. Just watch this one: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3Xb8zyBGf4). LMAO.

Yeah but he said he was just kidding about that... I mean, using marijuana to stay awake... If you've ever come near the stuff you know it doesn't exactly have that effect, at least not after the first hour. The government is seriously considering legalizing it for medicinal purposes which is a good step forward.

Funny thing is here in Angeles people still do shabu like its no big deal, like none of the extrajudicial killing stuff is going on elsewhere. I know that just possession of marijuana can be a 12 year prison sentence and that's enough to scare me straight!

Anyway, lets get back to how hot Catriona Gray is... Damn, she's fine as hell! Lol... Pia Wurzbach only came 3 years prior. Good for the Philippines to have 2 titles so close to each other.

Next Philippino-related gambling event: Pacquiao fight on January 19th. Money's on him. Wonder what the "line" is...

I didn't bet to this pageant sad for me . I'd know from the start that our Ms. Universe has the highest chance to win because of her background, her brain and her beauty. Most of us are watching even the celebrities from the Philippines are very happy with the win. I'm hoping for a back to back titles next year .

It is not your job to judge what our president do to our country and how he run businesses for the sake of his fellow countrymen. It's better to see drug related personnel's killed than those innocent ones. Anyway, we are out of topic in this discussion and of course we are so proud of Catriona also to our president.

I am still not sure how these winners were selected?

In my knowledge these people were selected based on the group of people then how they can name it as miss universe or Miss world or whatever the tittle is.This is privately run competition tho.

[upsidedown75]

I still don't understand how people put odds on these type of things. Apparently it was already decided before even the show began. Couple of the contestants came back to their home country and called the organization a fraud and who will be selected was decided long beforehand.

I mean don't get me wrong the winner is a pretty lady but there was a lot of people who were pretty it is the miss universe all of them were pretty but deciding which one is prettier than the other is a quite subjective thing and knowing which one will win beforehand and even putting odds on something subjective looks shady as hell.

Judges definitely had something in return otherwise how the hell did everyone agreed with the sportbooks for something so subjective. At least it wouldn't have been known beforehand, the odds should have been equal for all of them to say the least.

There are lot of politics behind these competitions to be honest,if we do deep research about these competitions these were sponsored by corporate companies which produces lot of cosmetics and other consumer related products so they were making something hype like the most prettier lady even using their products by using the winner of the contest later in their commercials.In my knowledge the winners were selected by the companies who are willing to agree for all their terms and conditions.

Agreed, but this is not the same with every year's event. Because corporates have made a thinking that white skin is superior and black as inferior. People don't understated the politics and the bug market behind this. In such a way most of the time the winner will be a brown skinned or a black skinned. This time the winner is from Philippines, and it is a country which has got the white skinned people.

[bbc.reporter]

In any case, it is astonishing that the oddsmakers got their predictions very close to the top 10 winners and to get it consistently every year is very impressive. I reckon they would make better financial analysts than Tom Lee hehehe.

Good thing about miss universe betting are good looking girls, everything else is rigged. Anyway I gave you some merits for nice pictures, that`s all, I will never place a bet on any similar contest.

Its all politics, just girls are real, and most of them are really beautiful, I cant say which one is better looking, more handsome than others, I would love them all. I give a little advantage to blond girls, but its my thing, my taste, other than that when you take a look on girls that participate, I would easily marry any of those girls without double thinking.

[harizen]

The discussion is now turning to self speculation, self analysis and self political views.

All stuffs claimed are just based on what people hear and mostly a product of rumors. Yes it has chances but I will only believed if the information will come right directly from part of the organization's body.

Since the event is now over, OP can consider closing this thread now.
