Would you bet on Medieval MMA?

[Alisha-k]

Before placing a bet in any kind of sports whatsoever I first consider the odd so I know the outcome of the risk I am about involving myself into. I wouldn't just bet on a pin-not odd that's not encouraging enough to make me smile Abit.

I'm unaware of the existence of this kind of championship where people wear medieval armors and make use of real weapons but I don't think I will like the championship though since the use of a real weapon is involved and with what I am seeing made on the rules provided people can still get hurt easily so I won't dare bet on this kind of game.

People can still get injured in any sport. You might be surprised to find out how many people get injured playing sports, ranging from bruises and sprains to broken bones and concussions. The most common contact sports to cause injuries among athletes are basketball, football, soccer, and ice hockey.

I know people still get injury through football but I don't agreed on football being the most contact sport where athletes get more injury when you still have American football and Rugby.
I don't like Medieval cause it some kind of violent sport and I don't see anything cool about it.

Indeed, when a sport and any tournament that allows its players to get hurt basically I also don't like it. But in this tournament even though the players are carrying real weapons but if they apply strict rules like wearing armor maybe as a safeguard, then I guess it's fine. Like boxing, if this sport doesn't have rules then it's obviously very dangerous, but when this physical contact sport is implemented with strict rules so as not to injure the opponent then I think it's still acceptable too.

^ Take into account the use of weapons other than your physical body when comparing this sports to football and other contact sports. Yes they wear heavy armors but the sight of literally hitting someone with a real sword and axe doesn't look appealing to me. It make me think of the bloody war with severed heads all over the place. I wouldn't bet on this.

I think they are going to use wooden sword and not real swords, it's a sporting events not a real war, any organizers will not allow the use of real swords, the game looks complicated to me especially if there are over 50 participants, I would not bet on it there are other sports worth betting.

[lienfaye]

I didnt know such fighting sport is existing. Our country is not among of those 25 participated countries in this sport, this might be the reason why it is not popular yet here. Anyway I think it would be entertaining to watch a fight like this, it seems like you're watching a fight scene from movies, but I prefer the 5 players each to see clearly the moves and strategy of the players.

They're actually using real weapons but based on their FAQ it was dulled and rounded for safety, plus they're using armor for protection so I think its safe.

I saw this game, but I like Florentine Football: Sport of the Modern Gladiator more! These guys don't have weapons and armor, but they do run for some ball and fight for it!





And here you can see how this game really looks like : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imI7dpzKIoE

There are some really crazy sports around! Thanks to YouTube we have a chance to see all of them! I like to watch new things, many times I was shocked and surprised (like many) by the things I see, but it can amazing and very funny in the same time!
Some interesting facts about this game:

What is Calcio Storico Italy?
Calcio fiorentino (also known as calcio storico "historic football") is an early form of football (soccer and rugby) that originated in 16th-century Italy. Once widely played, the sport is thought to have started in the Piazza Santa Croce in Florence.

How many people have died in Florentine football?
While there have been no deaths during the game in modern times, there have been numerous cases of players hospitalized, sometimes for months. City authorities in 2007 banned the match for a year after a brawl which saw around 50 players (that's almost all of them) taken to court

I would bet a very small amount of money because it is very difficult to predict

How about getting a win on your predictions would you increase your stake or you would still keep your betting on a small amount. I'm only asking because I see a whole lot of persons who gets lucky after a bet and gets a win who keeps increasing their stake which happens like everyother gambling option where you win some and lose some. What's your take?

[YuginKadoya]

Whoa! this looks dangerous, really dangerous how such a thing exists, but I think this is mostly of tradition or festival than a real MMA fight right? It seems that the government would surely forbid of user real weapons in such an event, or it does but if it is sports that have a Medieval theme on it I think that could be OK than using real weapons in battle,

But if a sport would exist and a gambling site would surely have a sportsbook for this then I would gladly bet on it, any type of things can surely be used in gambling even the dangerous ones, but it should be made in caution and have safety protocols first before they can get on with it.

It is not recommended to increase the stake after we win because it can get lost as we do not know much about it. It will differ if we know the game and we know what team will win. If that is the case, you can increase the stake because you know you can win in the next rounds. But you need to consider that sometimes, the game can change in the middle of the game and you need to think about how to make the strategy.

Good to hear this cause I particularly don't consider such thing to be fun.

I want to ask you a question, is not strict rules applied in boxing when Mike Tyson bite Holyfield twice?
Don't be like this, when the tournament has got the best of the contestant they can do something that's not reasonable and this is the reason I don't like this sport.

Like in any sports it's possible to see some nations are superior to anothers, what would give the chance to the sport's fans to earn some money by predicting the correct results. Would you have interest in betting in a sport like this and promoting it, so it could become more popular until being included in gambling's platforms?

Sounds interesting but I guess people can bet on esports and have the same thrill. I mean there are games like dota2, CSGO where you can bet on 5v5 and see who comes out on top. I know and able to understand what you are saying is rather real and more thrilling but it is not possible to organize such events, as far as I am concerned.

And if we are thinking of betting on real wars between countries, I would opt out of betting on it for obvious reasons.

This is the great advantage that esports have over sports, without a doubt sports have their place and in fact we see this as they are way more popular than esports right now, but esports can appeal to a fantasy element that sports will never be able to challenge as they have to deal with real physics and the consequences of the actions of their participants, this is why I think in the future esports are going to get big enough to challenge and even surpass traditional sports.

Both are similar sports but they do cater out different market but we cant really just ignore on how esports become big and popular which cant really be denied that it is indeed getting bigger as a the years pass by.There might be some types of physical sports that are popping out but doesnt mean that  they wont be having a chance on getting popular.

Im bit interested with this medieval MMa which would be basically ending up on likes of that historic wars in the past and basically  this would really be
seen in most European countries on where it is mostly can be seen.

If ever there would  be something like this then it might really be that interesting to watch and make out bets if ever its avaiable.

If you do not like contact sports i do understand your statement, but the Mike Tyson situation is a bit different, if it was any other combat athlete doing these kind of barbaric things he would have been banned for life or the commission will not give him the license to fight again.
This is not a contact sport as far as i understand and it is not going to be a competitive one so that people are going to injure each other, so chill out.

[qwertyup23]

Man, this is like a new world of complexity due to the number of elements present in this category that you need to consider.

Maybe, I would bet on small matches (i.e. 1v1, 2v2, or 5v5) but like 150v150, I wouldn't try to bet due to a number of circumstances that you have to consider. Well regardless, I find this Medieval MMA to be very interesting and I will definitely be entertained while watching them. It's like a glorified fencing but on a whole other level.

[goinmerry]

but like 150v150..

There is no 150vs150 category or something like 50vs50 as per checking some information about the event.

The categories are:

3v3
5v5
10v10    
16v16

There are up to 30x30 but not involved in the event that we are talking about here in the thread. Checking the former IMCF World champions, looks like the Country Ukraine has the best medieval warriors in any category.

Yes, like in soccer when Suarez, uruguayan player, bit players from opponent teams on the shoulders and arm. It happened 3 times. Rules exist to punish players who go too far during a match. I didn't see such incidents happening in medieval modern combats yet, actually players are very polite and respect each other, asking the adversary if he is injured during the games sometimes.
But of course some players might be aggressive like in any other sport and once this happens, they will be surely punished accordingly. There are many judges/observers around to make sure the matches run smoother as possible.

I don't know about the state of the medieval modern combats tournament but it good that the contestants respect each other and also check upon their opponents if they are injured, all this happen not during the game but after the game.
Which I mean they can still do some crazy out of jealousy or buzz they have during the tournament. Let's wake up the fact of the fact of things that will happen in this tournament at some point.

I think betting on a sports like this is way to sooner as don't get me wrong but to BET on a sports like this , it needs to have some history and players needs verification and all this little steps to prove that the competition is legit and so are the players.

For now , it's the first time when I hear about this competition and I must say that it looks appealing and it takes real strategy to win the rounds.
