Would you bet on climbing challenges

Climbing is a great sport, I really enjoy it. If you have no previous experience I would recommend you start checking out bouldering. You don't need any ropes or other gear except shoes to do it.

^ Wait, what? Is that track and field sports that you need only shoes to do it?
I totally disagree with it, climbing sports really need safety gear like harnesses, ropes, helmet nuts, built, carabiner and etc that protect you when you fall, and also if that is an indoor wall, the ground should have a foam that if anyone will fall does not hurt badly. But yes, this sport is a very challenging game because this needs skills and strategies for how you will climb continuously to the rock, it needs your full strength just to reach the top.

I've seen some climbing competition videos in the gym. On the one hand, it looks quite interesting and exciting (I watched the competition for speed rather than difficulty), but on the other hand, the competition is rather fleeting and the feeling of excitement does not have time to arise. Therefore, at the moment, I would not participate in betting on such events.

I have seen some rock climbing and some similar stuff but i dont know what sportsbook does offer this kind of sports or bets. Crypto sportsbooks dont offer this for sure. But would be fun to see how bets go on this events even tho i would never bet on them myself

Yes, that would be interesting. But I can assume that given the fact that this is a new sport for bookmakers and the result here is less obvious and predictable, the odds here would be much lower than in traditional sports. Both for favorites and underdogs.

It depends on the number of bookies accepting those kinds of bets. Once there are a lot of them the odds will be "normal", as normal as for other sports. I mean, they will be forced to give reasonable odds because of the competition. No one wants to bet on a site with toned-down odds, gamblers will just move to another place.

no doubt that this is a very complicated type of sport to monitor and analyze players, for example, I don't even know where I would start analyzing each player and how I would determine the winner of each game, it would be a waste of money and time, maybe because Knowing that people could hardly follow this sport, bookmakers are not paying much attention to it. a little offtopic, to this day I don't understand how people manage to do analysis in horse racing, how do you know which horse will win? I see in the movies that this horse betting market seems to be the kind of betting market for the rich and very smart people.

You don't need any ropes or other gear except shoes to do it.

It's strange that I've seen people climbing with only shoes on, but I've also seen people climbing with some safety equipment like ropes. I think that only people without a love for the life run the risk of climbing without ropes, in the case of sports I think they are obliged to climb with ropes, I could be wrong

Shit, man, this must be really scarry. I mean if we are talking about climbing only in shoes 
And as i said before - this is a bad idea to afford someone to bet on such activity, because this will just motivate climbers to do it again (and even will invite more people to that). Let us bet on something more peaceful.

This is one crazy sport, which requires great physical endurance...

I don't really like extreme sports like this, and also I don't recognize the contestants who are competing, I don't think I will follow the bet inside.

Climbing might look dangerous and life-threatening from outside but it is all about skill and practice. The first time I watched a few sports like NFL, I felt like the players must sustain huge injuries looking at their size and the nature of the sport but I was wrong and although injuries are there, they are never career-ending. Similarly in MMA heavyweight fights, you will feel like a fighter will die today but even when they get knocked out cold, they gain consciousness and feel better within a few minutes.

So climbing or any sport might look risky when you watch it but once you actually understand the dynamics and the skill of the competitors, it will not look that risky. As far as betting goes, people bet on slapping tournaments which is far more devastating than climbing.

I think a great deal of this has to do with perception, it is known that one of the most common fears that people have is the fear of heights, and this is completely natural as falling from a high point can be lethal, however sports like football generate way more injuries as the contact is constant on almost every play but falling for an experimented climber is very rare, however if it happens and they are not using security and protective equipment it can generate injuries from which it will be impossible to recover.

Wow, this looks really interesting. I did know that there are such competitions which takes place occasionally but I never knew people also gamble on such competitions.

I don't think many people gamble on such events because these are eventful and exciting but because there aren't many interested audiences hence there aren't any gambling sites offering market for them, at least none that I have played at.

I am really interested in doing such indoor climbing as well but never really got the opportunity. May be some day I will.

You can surely take part in such events because climbing is not a huge sport yet and I think there shouldn't be too much competition, all you need to do is find the right event and process to take part in. I am afraid of heights and I would avoid such competition though.

Does anyone know if there are gambling sites which allow us to place bets on such events?

Like I mentioned above, I don't think any sports betting site offers markets for climbing yet.

[robelneo]

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?

So far, all the gambling sites I'm playing do not offer to bet in climbing challenges, if there is one,  it's going to be challenging, it's one sport that needs discipline, our country has an organization for sports climbing and they are becoming popular here in our country but it's an indoor kind of sports climbing.
It will soon become part of the Olympics and will be introduced in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics but due to the pandemic, it is delayed and will happen the next year 2021, after it become a part of the Olympics its popularity will soar and might be included in many sports betting.

If there's completion and there is a winner, I am pretty sure that we can see some group or people will find a way to gamble. And yes there's a competition for rock climbing albeit not really popular since it's a pretty niche and expensive sports to be in and if you can count, it's also deadly.

[Fredomago]

As long as there's a competition, expect that someone will initiate the bet and that's the start of gambling.

That's true, if there's interest then expect that someone will start the bet and you'll find out that it's already starting to facilitate.

I'm not familiar with the climbing challenge and its rules but its pretty interesting and I don't think there's a crypto gambling site that offers this competition, we might not see one.

I don't see any crypto related gambling sportbook who offer this kind of game from their list, maybe it needs to have wider market.

If you really want to bet and there's a local competition like this, ask someone to have bet with you because for now it's not available in crypto gambling site as far as I know.

The only possible way if you really wanted to gamle from this sport, you may find someone local who also have the same interest.

But still, as climbing competitions are not too popular compared to the other sports, not many casinos will give people a chance to place a bet on the climbing tournaments. But after I tried to search for a while, I can not find any betting site with a climbing tournament. Even though a gambling site offers that sport, maybe you can not use crypto to place a bet as the sports do not have many fans.

I really like this sport, besides football, rock climbing is one of the hobbies I do on holidays with my friends, I think rock climbing is a sport that is far from cheating in its competition compared to other sports that really often involved in the form of cheating, just like you, I also searched on several gambling sites but did not find any sites that made this sport a form of online gambling and it seems that rock climbing is not a sport that can be used as a bet because it has few criteria in judgment to determine winner.

I think cheating can happen in any sport and it just requires some tactics and corrupted volunteers for the competition.
May be people are less interested in betting for such sports and that's why the gambling sites would not have took the burden to add this sport.
But as climbing gets more traction in upcoming years may be the gambling sites would start considering to add the category for betting.

As we know there are many ways to cheat, one of the oldest and easiest is rigging the games, you only need two people to come to an agreement about one of them losing and then both of them using a third party can pool their money and then make a bet towards the winner and make a lot more money than what they will make otherwise by competing fair and square, I am not saying this is happening but it is a possibility that always exists.

[gabbie2010]

This is a nice sport to watch but going as far as betting on it...I don't think so!

First off I have not seen a bookie offer such a sport for betting  and secondly I don't think there is enough information about these athletes to help make an informed decision.

and tbh being a small sport I think there are high chances that the same guys will win every time because there isn't much competition.

Even if there is a bookie that offers climbing bet I don't think I can bet on that type of sport betting, personally I prefers any sport that has statistical analysis and base my bet on past records,  eg soccer, basketball, lawn tennis etc as such climbing sport doesn't fit into these criteria, in this type of betting wining will be based on pure luck just like dice betting thus there is the tendency of losing many bets although the sport will be of interest to other people but betting on it will be very risky.

Yeah, this is not really fun to bet on the climbing sport even it may be an interesting sport.
however, I am not sure that winning is only pure luck. I know that climbing skill is very important here, the experiences, and also how they can see every chance to use the track of climbing. It is about the skill and speed, who are speeder and also more skilful, they have more chances to win. So, it is not only about luck.

I dont really see this to be entertaining and this is of course talking about pure skill because climbing does involved on how you do make out
ways on where to take the fastest track for you to win but is this something interesting to look or see upon?
This might look to be interesting into some eyes but not for me and i would rather see that being discussed slapping tournament
rather than on seeing these climbing sport tournament which i would see a bit more interesting than on this one.

I cannot think of a cheat how rock climbers will do just for them to get the upper hand. But even with that said of being far cheated, there could be really people that will try to think of tricks as they're into it just like any other sports that we have and saw the tricks that's being done by people associated with it.

I also searched on several gambling sites but did not find any sites that made this sport a form of online gambling and it seems that rock climbing is not a sport that can be used as a bet because it has few criteria in judgment to determine winner.

It is not a common sport so there's really no casino that would take part on it if there's not yet demand from their players. If they'll add it, they should have a survey and poll to ask their players if they would love to bet on it and they should have a good provider for that sport.

I love climbing. Both doing it, and watching others achieve new routes. So, if there was an option to bet on it, I'm sure I would. Although, I'm much more interested in setting new records, rather than competitive side by side, climbing. I'd like to see some betting on new records on climbs in the Yosemite, although I understand that your referring to the more, competitive indoor climbing than outdoor.

I believe climbing was to be included in the Olympics before Covid postponed it, right?

Even if there is a bookie that offers climbing bet I don't think I can bet on that type of sport betting, personally I prefers any sport that has statistical analysis and base my bet on past records,  eg soccer, basketball, lawn tennis etc as such climbing sport doesn't fit into these criteria, in this type of betting wining will be based on pure luck just like dice betting thus there is the tendency of losing many bets although the sport will be of interest to other people but betting on it will be very risky.

There's definitely statistical analysis to be had in the world of climbing. For example, how they deal with a overhang, how x performed against y on grade x climbs. Climbing isn't about luck, in fact much of the luck element is removed. So, what your saying is you prefer sports with more luck based elements. Since, climbing tries to remove luck as much as possible, otherwise you fall. This is especially true when free soloing or outdoor climbing as there's a greater risk of injury. Even when roped up, outdoor climbing has more risk of smashing yourself against the face generally.

If you've ever seriously climbed, you'll find yourself mapping out the route, spotting, and figuring out the least luck dependent route possible. Although, there are luck based elements in there. For example, sometimes you have to make a jump to continue, and depending on the circumstances that could well include a lot of luck.

You may say that it's not the type of sports you are expecting but the fact that they used pure skills plus a death defying act specially on a real mountain/outdoor that's is enough to tell who's willing to win the challenge. I don't think this type of sports doesn't have a statistics record for both old and new challenger. Each type of sports have their own data of collecting those who are worth it to bet their money. But I've never tried to bet this game once but if there is I might have to.

Generally walls are graded. So, although you might not have the same climber on the same wall, they will have a grade. This does actually introduce statistical analysis, but it also introduces a element of luck based on the fact that climber x, and climber y haven't actually attempted the same wall, but have got times on the same grade level.

Although, this would only be true for competition type events, since a lot of climbing is self done, and there's no judge so it might not be entirely accurate. Therefore, only records held on competition walls could be considered.
