Gamblers are betting on Trotting and Marbles due to Coronavirus

[Rosilito]

I would like to know if you’ll have ever gambled on Trotting, and marbles if yes how was your experience gambling on it.

I don't know what Trotting, I just read it above and in terms of marble, I never thought it would be that mainstream this lockdown.

Been seeing a lot of streams playing marbles and I even saw a Facebook video in the past shoutcasting a marble tournament in a track or obstacle he just made. I also watched a tournament in 2018 in Southern England about a Marble Tournament and I don't even think that people would bet on it, I mean people are just that bored I think.

Sure people found some interest betting in an event you didn't expect will be betting on. Lol, I just saw this marble vids on fb as well, as I see a single man did it all, the track, the shoutcasting, and the tourney itself. Now that it became a mainstream, it makes me wonder what would it look like in the long run? I mean, isn't it just a temporary thing for now because people are bored, or this kind of thing would go big in gambling industry. This is intresting though, pure luck would dictate the entire game.

The percentage of gamblers actually betting on such unknown sports are probably very low since it is still possible to continue betting on games like Table Tennis etc online right now which are far more popular games in comparison.

Due to the lockdowns around the world, it is difficult for anyone to step out for anything other than essential stuff these days(Groceries etc) which is why I am guessing that the percentage is probably low.

Could be right since this kind of sport is unfamilliar to most gamblers and I find it unique, as mentioned above it could be a local sport. Since most people don't have a choice where to bet on this could be an alternative choice. Would be fun to see a unique sport event due to the lockdown.

Betting in a sports that you don't know is like drawing without any passion, it means you will just do it for the sake of the trend. You should bet on the sports where you have an idea and you enjoy watching, like basketball, soccer and other sports. That's the reason why the percentage of gamblers in an unknown sports is not that high compared to other sports that is famous enough. It still depends on the people if they want to bet on a certain sports like trotting, marbles, or archery and etc. If you know some gambling platform or casino that offers a sports betting that you prefer, then that's good. During this lockdown, you should find a gambling casino online where you can play while you're staying inside your house and safe with your family.

It is the first time I hear about Trotting but I am not surprised that gamblers are betting in such events now that they are all playing from home finding new ways to keep themselves busy and entertaining.If gamblers see a new gaming platform by their nature they want to try it out.

Also this is my first time about knowing trotting related to gambling because I only know some sports like basketball, hockey, football, baseball, and etc., but trotting sounds new to me. If you're a gambler and you have no idea about a sports that you are interested to bet in, you must try to seek information first or knowledge in order for you to know the rules in the game. It is very hard to bet in a sport if you have no idea about it, being curious is good because the learning is unlimited and your knowledge will increase in the world of gambling. But it is not easy to find a gambling platform where they offer trotting betting online casino. Nowadays, it is better to find a good online gambling casino where you can bet on the sports that you really like, not only trotting.

Anything new in gambling it wants to try including gambling Trotting I also do not know how to bet maybe people there are some many experiences so it is more comfortable playing gambling in Trotting.
If I don't know, then I will not do this kind of gambling, the better I understand it, the more meaningful it will be.

Looks like the Horse Race and that is also the way to bet(i think so) because the track is the same.But well for addicted gamblers they will Learn and surely try this one now for a change .

When I first saw the headline of this article (link below) I thought it was a joke, but then it hit me that it could be real too as there’s no major tournament also going on now. It’s pertinent to note that I never knew that there was a sport game called Trotting, and what further amazes me is the amount of money that gamblers are currently wagering on it. Lastly I would like to know if you’ll have ever gambled on Trotting, and marbles if yes how was your experience gambling on it.

I haven't heard about this game Trotting.
In my opinion, the reason why so many people are gambling on this is  of course the fact that there is a pause in all sports activities but also this game should be known in nations that have big populations.

Yeah, that is the one I am saying but I don't think that is the one they are betting to.

I think this site is also responsible for that marble games or race and people bet on it before the run time. The link in the OP seems to be that way. In terms of the trotting, I guess that is better than the marbles.

When so many people are doing nothing at the moment then why can't gamblers wait for the sports to resume and then bet on it. I don't like people doing gambling or betting on things because other betting options are not available right now. Its time for the gamblers to take a rest too.

[mersal]

I don't get what the trotting game is about and there is nothing related to this on the article you provided but I guess it is just an indoor sport so people can bet on it when there is no tournament to bet all around the world.But it doesn't goes against social distancing which is strictly imposed by many governments.

And as for the article related to what OP shared, trotting is popular in Sweden. For the record, Sweden currently has 11,445 confirmed cases on which have 1,033 death and 381 recoveries. Australia, one of the countries where horse racing is also popular (also on trotting) has 6,400 confirmed cases on which have 61 deaths and 3,598 recoveries.

How come they can freely play sports? Or maybe it was done in another country? I can't think of another country or region that is COVID-free that this kind of sport is popular.

Despite big number of confirmed cases, there is no quarantine in Sweden. Restaurants, shops work as usual, there is many people on streets and parks without face masks. Only events with more than 50 people is banned. So, they even play football friendly games without spectators.

Don't knowvabout Australia, but from stats that you've posted, situation doesn't looks bad in their country, so maybe such events is allowed.

For real in Sweden?

Just look at how much it increase 3 days after my post, from 11,445, it now rose to 13,216 with 1,400 deaths from 1,033. Looks like it's more important for them to just continue their usual activity amid pandemic virus.

And there are lots of upcoming horse matches. Don't know if some of those are from Sweden but I can now confirm the majority of matches are done in Australia and New Zealand. And yes, it looks like these regions somehow able to control the spread of the virus on their country and really implementing strict guidelines.

For marbles, I can't found some.

The marbles race or marbula one finished  sometime last week that's why there's no lines available anymore.

I see.

Thanks, mate.

Due to the outbreak that is happening all over the world, people are getting an alternative to traditional sports that would not need huge spectators and can be watched on the comport of your home, I guess many are thinking ways in doing it with a minimal of people getting involved in operating it and can be certainly watched on a Television or the Internet, suggesting this kind of sports betting that is very unusual in the public eye,

1st we have Spider Wrestling - well if you are familiar with it some in my country are breeding this kind of spider that they are using for derby or just for their hubby but apparently I guess this can be legalized prior for having a pandemic outbreak we had right now well that would be just my opinion, I guess there are many here that have suggested or commented here that it can be a great alternative to boxing, wrestling, UFC or MMA but using spiders as their fighters.

2nd Jai Alai - if anyone here familiar with this kind of sports that involved bouncing of the ball on a wall using a Cesta to throw the ball and catching it by another player and the points will go to the player that likely making the other player out of the bounce I think this game was originated within the Latin American countries and make it to the Philippines from its Hispanic influence and it is used for sports betting but banned it in the years 1986, then 2000 because of problems in a game being fixed but have returned in the year 2010, I guess this game can be a great alternative in sports betting with just two or a team play and doesn't need many audiences because it is being watched live in the Television back then, but certainly if this becomes legal in the certain condition that we have right now.

The article in your first link isn't available for free, and the second one doesn't deal with trotting and marbles racing unfortunately.
Trotting races are pretty common in France, and many gamblers bet on them.

I see and you maybe right because i don't see a race on that Video instead only marbles going to tracks or maybe the Fastest Time wins?

I love Betting in Off track here in my place in which the Horse race is being broadcasts Live and bettors can Bet in Bookies and i believe this trotting is almost the same as the normal horse race when the winning combination is the first 2 horses to finish the race?

Personal preferences I think. Since they don't have anything to do at home, they are finding other gambling games to bet on. Most gamblers will not be contented sitting on their homes. They will always find a way how to satisfy their inner desires in gambling.

I am not here how this works, I need to check those videos to understand this form of gambling. In lock down you generally do not have anything Tom do as you are restricted to one small location. In that location you have to be innovative to play new games and convert them to gambling games.

Betting in a sports that you don't know is like drawing without any passion, it means you will just do it for the sake of the trend.

Betters betting on sports they do not know is extremely common even before the coronavirus lockdown my friend,,, I know all my friends who bet on soccer, maybe a few of them know it, even fewer play it, the rest bet because they like the club, or like the country, or think there is a good odd for a team to win because a newspaper articles said so.

This depends on the gambler, the few profitable gamblers that I know are very specialized and they only bet on particular sports of which they have a great deal of knowledge, as you may guess in order to attain that knowledge they need a lot of information so they only bet on popular leagues and sports, however there are many gamblers that only bet in order to make the games more exciting and they can bet in almost any sport as their aim is not really to make money but to feel the rush of betting and winning their bet from time to time.

[TheUltraElite]

They will always find a way how to satisfy their inner desires in gambling.

Yes and it will be through something that is not conventionally known like this one.

The casinos have to do something to keep the players incoming too. They have to run their business and so we see this current rise in number of email bonuses, social media promotions and homemade games to bet on which can run indoors.

I am sure some friendly betting games occuring in social gatherings have reduced but it does not take long to combine a digital payment system and an IM chat with making bets with friends and this can be an alternative to gambling at local casinos.

Best works with friends who are into gambling. Anway it is still fun though the game might be uncommon but when you played it with your friends it won't ever get boring, not at all.

For casinos, their only best bet is to run it online. There's nothing they can do on having gambling except online although there will be only few users who have the materials to do it but at least they kept it running.
