Hamster powered races

[Digital_Lord]

The man behind this must be very creative. he's making hell a lot of profit out of his little hamster.

I think I've seen some users already posted this game here before I'm not quite sure if this would be popular but I've visited this website multiple times but it says that the hamster is sleeping does it mean that the race will vary depends on the hamster's mood?

this is what they seem to claim. but I've checked some of their previous livestreams of the race. I saw that  Mia (the Hamster) was not even running on the wheel at all . she was just running around her cage. but still the marbles got triggered and race happened.

Go to https://mia.bet/play and watch the video of round 24. you can see (to watch previous videos you have to finish the current video at the end you'll see the past videos in in player's end screen)

after watching this it is confusing for me now.

What We have when we were Young is a Mouse that was covered By a Pale and circling with Number combination that Has small Houses with a Door ,when the Pale took off then the Mouse will run fast to Enter which ever room closes to Him ,and that will decide who wins in the Game.

But this cute Hamster ?nope Have not seen like this and yeah this is So fun watching and also Playing I'm sure.

Those Hamster Should be Playing and not used for entertainment , Though I must admit the set up is Cool and Attractive .

I knew about marble racing and watched videos of it on YouTube. There's a commentary but there's no bets so placing it with bet is really an idea that haven't thought of before. That marble race is just a content which has been done on the sands.

Like what OP said ,i have seen a Post here in regards to This.

That was entertaining honestly and having to see this with mia bet that adds unforessen obstacles for the race adds suspense. But it's better if the race will be longer than the one seen on the video sample. If an animal groups organization will get to see this, they'll complain about it as animal cruelty although it can be done even without the hamster.

Yeah ,The fun is too short ,Looking for More obstacles if they really tend this for Entertainment .

Just a longer race it would make it fun. I don't know if that's the actual race that has been shown in the sample video that they have in the front page.

It just have to be longer and whether more obstacles or lesser, it will make the betting add more fun.

The man behind this must be very creative. he's making hell a lot of profit out of his little hamster.

Creative with those obstacles but he can choose to make another material to work it out instead of the little hamster. But I guess that's where the attention starts because of mia the hamster.

I think that is quite nice and cute indeed, anything can be done when you want to produce your own gambling platform, And this is powered by a cute hamster, and in our country, we had the popular cockfighting that now has online bets because of the pandemic, and recently I have seen a type of gambling where they are betting on spiders, ants, beetle, any sort of things that your mind can think of but the remarkable thing with mia and the marble there is a contraption that would let you bet on the marbles that are powered by a hamster is indeed much OK than betting on cockfights that on cock would definitely die in the end.

I would try that in my free time because of curiosity.

Not only that they have branded marble racing literally. When someone would try and think of it, it would be their site they would go to , they did include ETH in there too which made it all better since the sending and receiving charges are far less thus it's more convenient for everyone. But the only thing is the wager is predetermined. In the future I do believe we will have many more ideas like this but this is again way better than other sports like bull fighting, cock fighting etc.

I've seen this game it's based on ethereum blocks mined, i just don't how the poles work and which of them will pop out to change the direction of the marbles. Its a fun game, a new exciting way for gambling enthusiast.
Which is very challenging in my opinion, although there are many similar games in casino's but the difference this uses live hamster.

It gives more entertainment to the viewer just like the time we purchased tickets to visit zoo or any animal sanctuary, it's the same thing but a little cuter. This shows us how gambling is 99% about entertainment.
Since it's a place where loosing would just buy Mia some treats for sure. I don't know what's their house edge though.

[plvbob0070]

This is something I never heard before, though it's quite cute and funny to watch. However, I kinda think that there's no much excitement watching this aside from the cuteness since based on the video, the track is so short so it will only take a few seconds to know who will win. I don't know for others but for me, it would lack thrill and excitement compared to other types of races. It might be cute at first but can also get boring after some time. Thus, the idea is nice especially if there's a different level of the tracks where it gets longer and more hurdles something liken that.

I guess it's one of those articles about betting with animals that makes you wonder if it's going to be abused or not.  If such thing attracts people who are willing to abuse animals and take big risk for selfish reasons then I don't think it is an idea worth encouraging.  I believe good betting space should be both useful and safe for everyone.
Hopefully it's not even real animal

For fun its OK but if the animals abuse its different story there are already laws thatw protect animals even how small they are .thats why I think it  will not going to be  abuse base on the article .the only problem is that if many people may imitate it and not be able to control themselves when they are the one who do it and at those times there may be animal can be abuse.

If this becomes big and a lot of people and sites would imitate it, there would be a lot of hamsters that will be used for this. I am not really a strong animal rights advocate but I am not a fan either. I am not a fan of horse racing for gambling's sake. I am not a fan of horse fighting, dog fighting, cockfighting, etc. for gambling's sake. I think it is not fun to put animals on the line for the sake of our vanities and vices.

[ecnalubma]

I just watched the video and found it really cool, I don't know to animal rights activist lol. Well as long as it does not violate any laws its good that this game could be a new attraction to gamblers looking for a new and exciting way to bet. Gambling using animals is been around for centuries but platform owners these days should be very careful of what they cater their users to avoid headaches with the authorities since almost everything should be regulated.

Oh, that's actually a good matter to point out since it involves an animal. It's a cute concept and the hamster is such a cutie. But, as long as it does not violate any laws especially regarding the animal involved, then maybe they should get along with it. Might as well try it if I got the chance.

[bitbollo]

with current transaction fees it's a very expensive game ! I think that a game like this could be more profitable if people can gamble with other currencies (like dogecoin or trx). it would be nice also a version with more bets available like tris (bigger odds up to @125) / or "placed" (1-3th position).

[mardaed]

The game is quite unique and I am very interested to see how it works and how we can get an advantage in order to win in our bet to this kind of game. If the races are fair and we can verify that is genuinely in live then this kind of game will surely to become popular as the days passes by knowing that there are many gamblers out there who likes to try unique games like this one where hamsters are the star of the game.

[virasisog]

I have watched the whole video and I have seen videos similar to this on social media before. It was fun and interesting and it even makes my heart melt seeing those little creatures. Well, its uniqueness will surely catch the attention of most players and as long as the little animals are safe, there's nothing wrong with it. It will surely become more popular in the coming days.

When most of the gamblers says "Gambling is for entertainment only", this is the real definition of that.

I think a similar post was already discussed here in this section, but still here's my opinion about animal races. We're all aware that animal races somehow abuses the animals forcing them to races even they don't want to, for example is horse race and dog race, on which I think seems unfair to the side of the animals. In this race, which is a hamster race, I don't see any kind of issue since hamsters are known to be a volty and mischievous animald that likes to run and play.

I just hope hamster racing wouldn't go overboard like they are forcing them to eat or drink supplements that'll make them more fast or whatsoever, being a natural one is enough already.

yes, it is.

this is the older discussion thread - I want to know about this game.

and this is the service announcement from the MiaAndTheMarbles - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5206396

the funny thing here is - their service ann is not gaining attention but thread like this is gaining attention from the users here.   i sent them msg in their telegram channel about the old thread before

the probable reason is that the ANN thread posted in service announcement(altcoin). the thread is most likely buried from the amount of post being generated on that board also, there are not many gamblers discussing gambling on service announcement(altcoin). I think the ANN thread would have generated attention if it was posted on gambling board and the website is accepting bitcoin and altcoin(maybe several altcoins)

There are many gambling or racing/fighting game that involves animal. Hopefully this act will end since they sometimes tortured or force to do things out of fear or not being able to eat if they will not do it like those animal in carnivals. Now that we are in era of technology it is really better to engaged it thru computer and not anymore in real animals. Like games that will require some skills or adding items to boost their ability.

This reminds me the guys who had a site of gambling in mice race. It was pretty straight forward like horse racing. They had 4/5 mice at one end and in the other end those mice had to run and whichever would reach there first was the winner. I watched their live feed and it was interesting.

Unfortunately they could not run the business and it seems the project is down too.

This was there ann

Not engaging yet in this type of gambling because it has no difference from other luck-based games.

But for fun and if the odds are attracting, why not? Might want to test my luck. Maybe there is a list of past results so that will be my only basis.

And one thing, the bet should come from a reputable website, and matches will be live stream.

If you want to check the past races, you can easily see that in their website -   https://mia.bet/past-races
Seems that they are already attracting players as the total payout in eth is already quite big for a starter. Maybe, if they are accepting other currencies like btc or doge, this one will attract more players from this forum.

Actually this hamster powered races game relies on luck to win, so for me it is the same as slot games. But what makes it interesting is because it
involves a very cute hamster, we can see on the video promotion how cute the hamster is. This may be what attracts some people to try this game,
to provide entertainment and a new atmosphere we can indeed try.
