Would you bet on climbing challenges

[paxmao]

One of the most spectacular yet little known sports is climbing. One of the specialties is indoor competition where the athletes will compete on completing diabolical routes and doing so the fastest. If you have never seen a video, you really should.

There are many other options for betting, such a certain climbing finishing a certain route or climbing a certain mountain. The stars of this sport, both male and female, frequently declare their intentions of climbing routes and it is a open ground for bets. Is there already any place to bet on climbing competitions or challenges that you know of?

I am also a huge fan of climbing, unfortunately near my hometown there aren't any mountains, so I just stick to bouldering indoor. Watching speed climbing is insane, their speed is so fast and the routes they are climbing are insanely hard. Over the last few years quite a lot of people became interested in climbing, it is even now a competition in olympics. With so many people watching it should be normal to make it also attractive for bookmakers. Top climbers become something like celebrities these days, it would be normal to bet on them.

Honestly, the sport of climbing mountains and cliffs is one of the sports full of challenges, sometimes it ends in death, I personally often watch those who have big guts do silly things beyond normal human sense 'challenge' rock climbing.



However, if you ask me have you ever bet, the answer is no, maybe if there is a gambling site that adds a rock climbing betting option, maybe I'll try it, maybe it's a tense and challenging game, who gets to the top first, interesting.

That is a very challenging sport and betting on it would be difficult to be a winner.That is because it is based on the sportsman physical condition and it can change constantly.Based on this I would refrain from betting in such events.

Answering these questions depends on the interest of the individual. Gambling is always present in human nature so betting on any challenges even if it is not considered a sport is happening in any place as long as two or more player/team are competing for the same goal. Personally, I am not interested to bet on these climbing challenges even if they put them on sports betting platforms. Only people that are enthusiastic with this type of challenge are likely to gamble their money on this.

[hahay]

I know this sport but I've never seen the bets available on the sites I've used, because if they included this sport in the spoortsbook then of course I would be interested. This is an extreme sport but still has good procedures in terms of safety so yes, I am very interested in watching and also betting for each match but unfortunately, I also don't know where this sport is available as a bet.

If there is a site that offers odds for this specific sport, I would probably try to bet on it. I have said in my another post that I really like odd or eccentric sports because I find them a bit more challenging to bet on because you have no way of knowing how you can win and what are the mechanics of the game.

Speed climbing and especially free climbing are extremely interesting sports to watch and the athletes doing that are one of the best trained athletes on the planet because for climbing you need a lot of endurance and basically every single muscle is used during climbing so that climbers are probably in the best overall shape. Regarding betting on climbing i personally would be still hesitant to do that because as far as i know there is not much money involved in climbing competitions yet which means that the participants are more susceptible to bribery, but if the sport continues to grow as he does than it would be definitely an exciting sport to bet on.

[Wexnident]

Definitely an interesting sport, but I'm more used to watching them climb those man-made ones, the ones with handles clogged together to let the climber go up. Idk what it's called but it was something like that. Me watching them climb a real mountain kinda scares the f out of me, and hardly doubt it would actually be officialized since there's a LOT of unknown factors in the wild that could influence not only the competition, but also their lives.

But for betting? Maybe not. It's close to purely physical ability after all. Mental capacity comes in, but tactics and whatnot aren't really involved, it's more related to their capability to stay calm and continue climbing.

In my opinion, if climbers compete by climbing a real rock over an abyss, then they will not cheat.  

In this case, everything is fair.  There is no collusion or manipulation here.  This is simply not possible.  Extreme climbers are the elite among athletes.  Incredibly physically developed and brave people.  Fans of gambling will gladly place bets on such competitions.  In fact, extreme climbers are modern gladiators.  

But they are not competing with opponents, but with themselves, and every mistake can be fatal.

That's the other beauty that I have observed with this sport, which is that cheating meant either death or injury plus if they cheat in a safe environment for climbing, you would know that they are cheating.

How many types of competitions are there? I know about the fastest to the top, but are there more? Like maybe a harder course or something? Anyway, my experience is that people who gamble will bet on anything, so climbing is not excluded. Climbing is getting more popular, especially indoor, so it's a mater of time we see media outlets getting interested in it.

[$crypto$]

Every time I see this sport it is indeed very challenging and you have to have big guts because what you are facing is a big risk of death in front of your eyes if they make a mistake in cutting down a ravine and high, even I am very amused and scared to see it but they have the guts great to reach the goal at the top.

I only see this sport only occasionally when I happen to change the tv channel to this sport I don't know how the rules that occur in this sport even the points don't understand, let alone betting on gambling it's very impossible for me to do it, so I don't understand anything and I only bet on sports in general.

I'm a fan of climbing, but I haven't bet on the game itself, and thanks to the OP, this is the first time that I heard about betting on the game.

So still there are odds and other betting options, which make it more exciting. But for gamblers though, better first learn the odds given, it's not just a simple game as it seems. And there could be few surprises and upsets just like any other sports.

[electronicash]

where did you see a climbing challenge in the sportbetting platform?  it's not on sportsbet and stake.

sports events like this one don't happen very often. mostly the ones who participate in this event are the people who are involved in mountain climbing. i can't even remember a name who is pretty much famous in cliff climbing. can this be classified as extreme sports?

Yes, climbing will be included on the next olympic games which are going to happen in Tokyo, Japan. That is one of five new sports total which are going to be added to the games, what is also very interesting news for fans of the sport. Actually, so far I have never thought about climbing as a competition, but just as a hobby instead. Anyway it will be really exciting to see the competition soon, probably next month or august.
Since it's official, I'm pretty sure gambling platforms will introduce climbing bets and there will be many people willing to place a bet on it. If I have some spare money I may join as well.

[Fundamentals Of]

I am not very familiar with this kind of sports. I know there is this kind of activity among extreme sports enthusiasts but I don't know who's who in it. I am not even familiar with what and how the rules and mechanics are applied to competitions and events. So I don't think I would be betting on this.

I think sports betting or betting in general requires a certain amount of familiarity so that you are making an informed bet every time rather than just a blind guess.

Well, there always comes a time when something new is brought to the platform. It might not be in existences now on gambling platforms but, it doesn't mean it can't. So long as its some individuals passion and it could be actually measured and competed for, it could be considered for a betting opportunity.  Once some value is being attached to it and the sport gets a good number of participants and fans, it could be advocated for or required by fans and just like that who knows whats next. We could as well start placing our bets on who is faster in scaling through some obstacle on the walls.

[imstillthebest]

it was not little known but the sport climbing is popular  .
 it was risky but the climbing that is fun to watch for me are done by the people that is doing a parkour and the one that i watch in the t.v , i think that was on axn channel ? where they climb indoors with spectacular obstacles .
 i can bet on this variation of climbing because im familiar to some players and thier skills but the question is if there are betting sites for this ?

It's certainly a very interesting sport to watch and I feel if the bet is only on who will make the fastest time then it will be very difficult to rig. Unfortunately it is relatively unknown and I'm guessing that it can be quite dangerous if you are driving climbers to make it up the quickest. Not sure how sponsors would feel about seeing their logos around such a potentially lethal activity and they can often contribute heavily to the success of any sport - as they push to get it more televised, build up advertising around the sport and in prime spots. I certainly would be interested in placing bets on this, as long as it is done in the safest ways possible, seems like a good contender for a Red Bull competition as they love extreme sports.
