What is the Strangest Bet You Have Ever Had?

[Docnaster]

Ever since I realized that playing too many clubs increases risk, have been so careful with my money. I hardly bet. I only do so when I'm very confident about the teams involved and it always works for me. I take two or 3 games and give it a good staking Power,  and every time I do so,  I seldom lose more than a ticket if I play up to 3 or 4. But I have never been this disappointed at this new strategy until I involved Leipzig and Baryern in my ticket which they both lose to Bochum and Leverkusen respectively. This is the strangest best result I have met.

Gambling or betting is moving beyond just casinos and sports to other sectors of the economy. There is a thread here on betting for the 2024 United States election, and another one for the Oscars. I have seen people bet on movie characters and all sorts of things. This is not to say that they are addicted to gambling. I think we do it for fun, as a form of socializing. While thinking about it today, I wondered what the strangest bet I had ever had was. I remembered having a bet with my brother that he would give me $80 if I could eat 5 packs of 200g of instant noodles in less than 5 minutes, and if I couldn't, I would give him $90. What is the strangest bet you have ever had?

When it comes to some odd bets then it was particularly on a swimming race on how far we do able to reach out.Of course since we are submerged on water then payment would be done later on.
We've been betting around $100 on whose the farthest and pooling all of those funds and the winner takes it all. Yes, its true that we do make out bets according on specific events which would
really turns out on making bets to make things a bit spicy or more interesting with having some involvement of money or bets.
This is why it is really that applicable for whatever things you would be encountering.

Betting makes routine events fun. So I think it's a good idea to make them fun by betting on things that are starting to get boring... When I was a kid, we went on a boring tent camping holiday as a family. My brother and I had a bet when we were doing a stone skipping race on the sea. The person with the lowest score carried water for the dishes that night. Damn it was a bad try and I carried water for the dishes because he was better at it than me. Looking back now, I see this incident as one of the weirdest allegations and memories I've ever made in my life. It wasn't something that involved money, but we managed to turn a routine event into fun. I think that's what matters.

Well, I believe everyone must have had a lot of strange bets in their lives when they were younger or maybe kids. We often bet on things when we are kids where we just feel that something will happen but someone else keeps saying no it wouldn't, and so out of anger or whatever someone may call it, we call a bet on it and challenge them to see if who would win it.

I remember when I was a kid, I was with my cousin's friends and we were going somewhere on foot. On the way there, we saw two dogs fighting, and as expected, we took a lot of interest in it and even started betting with each other, lol . One of the dogs was pretty healthier and looked stronger, so one of my cousins said who will have a bet that the stronger one will win the fight? I took the chance and the risk and said that no, the one that looks a bit weaker will win in the end, and believe it or not, I won the bet .

Luckily I have not done any strange bets as I don't seem to remember having done such bet.I am a conservative in almost everything that I do and as such mostly I play sport bets or slot machines but luckily I don't feel anymore the urge to keep playing slot machines anymore as there is no point,you can't become rich with them while I think with sport betting if done consistently and not with obsession you can make a nice decent amount of extra money every month,this is only my theory though which in practice has not come true  .

Some people have bet that they will eat sh*t of someone else if they lost what they called a sure bet,but that is clearly disgusting and I don't think I can call these species human beings,humanity has done a lot of stupid things unfortunately.

it's either you didn't grow up with your siblings or you where too serious with life and you guys didn't relate much because, I do not think there's any adult who didn't bet for fun while growing up, at one point or the other, we have all placed a bet even when we don't seem to have the money to redeem ourselves if we fail, we bet either with our friends or siblings.

Betting on a spider fight.

Kind of weird I must say, but that's the only weird and maybe strange bet that I did. Back when I was a kid, there was some elders out here in our place where they will hunt some spiders in the forest. After that, they will meet-up on a particular place where they will put their spiders that they caught into a fight. The winner will spun a web against the loser, and will eat for days. We kids are betting on who will be the winner, and I think it's kind of weird and strange for me because that isn't happening for most parts of the world right? .

Anyway, maybe there's more strange bets that I did in the past, but that's what I remember and I consider it a strange and a weird bet.

I;m not sure if this is truly strange but of course we all have our "Fun Bets" from the past meaning yes I still have those memories .

when i was young , we even use the road for betting and you know how it does?


We stand in an Over Pass in which bellow us passing the cars and yes , we Put a bet for the first color of a certain car we choose and the one who can guess ? will take the pot.

sometimes we put 2 bucks (since we are young and has small allowances)

Like seriously, it was really fun growing up in the 90s with lots of arguments, bets and playing so many games. I do feel that children of nowadays are missing those excitement of olden days. Technology has taken over everything. I remember during my kids days arguing with my fellow kids that God loves me more and that's why he allows moon to be following me everywhere I go 
That's how we started the argument until the elders intervened and settled the case. Yes, we had no money to bet but what we normally did was to knock the person who failed. Very weird thou.

As far as I can remember the strangest bet I ever had was on a game "cockfight", it is common here in my country and though local games are illegal there are also some that are held on a coliseum in which it is considered legal. I had remember one time I went into a coliseum with one of my relatives  who is an avid gambler of that game, and me personally, I don't even gamble on this kind of games and he kept teasing me to try and gamble coz maybe I'll be struck by luck ( he means beginners luck ), but I kept refusing him coz I am not really a fan of this gamble. So he made a bet on me that if I chose one of the chickens and win he will $2,000 of cash, but the catch is he will still be the one to give me money as capital since that time I didn't bring even a penny with me. So I did the wager since it's all free either I win or lose I'm not the one losing. The fun part is that I didn't choose either of the 2 chickens, I wagered on "DRAW" that means nobody is the winner. He was so angry when he learned that I wagered on that and he does have a reason coz it was somewhat big amount of money. He kept grumbling coz I was wasting my money, but I was there on the side just laughing so much that my stomach is already hurting. Also the thing is I was the only one betting on that side coz when it comes to cockfight only the last one standing will win, which one died first will be the loser and there is almost zero percent that you'll won by draw like you are flipping a coin.

The funniest part is that I actually won, I don't know how it happen coz I don't really understand the mechanics of that game aside from someone winning or losing. To be honest up until now I still find it funny why I won on that gamble, but in the end he still gave me the promised amount.


Fact: This game is illegal in some countries due to that being animal cruelty, and I am saying this coz I don't really liked the game due to it that is why I didn't bet on it intentionally.

I guess that's not necessarily true either because if someone were brought up in a strict family environment and were very strict about caring for their children until they grew up, they would not even dabble in gambling, even if it was with their friends. They will not break the rules set by their parents because if they play gambling, somehow their parents will find out. I have friends who are like this and until now, they have never touched gambling or thought about gambling. So maybe it depends on how parents can educate their children.

But on the other hand, I also have friends who often gamble with peers and sometimes the bets are simple things that can become bets for us. For example, maybe we once bet on the presence of a teacher at our school during high school so we would bet on whether the teacher will teach a class on time or whether he will be late or even not teach at all. And we might make many other simple bets when we are young.

Personally, the strangest bet I've ever made was between me and my siblings. I guess most of us who have siblings has done this before. Way back, my siblings and I would bet on who will predict the next advertisement on TV. The one who gets the right answer of course, will take the money each has bet on. Most of the time, it was our youngest sister who would guess the correct advertisement, which made her earn enough to buy several sets of cheap toys being sold around the market near our area.

It was a fun experience and we were having a good time way back not really knowing that the thing we are doing was already considered gambling at some sort. We still do this kind of bets until now, but mostly it's related to lifestyle and decision making bets which I suppose is still harmless because we only bet what we can afford to lose.

There had been different options for us to chose from and I like the way many casinos had been giving us different option to select from even at an early stage. The bet on the United States election is quite surprising to me when I first saw it because the time interval this bet is going to be a win or lose is many months coming and I know that there would have been some gamblers that would have bet on the election outcome which is very surprising. I know with time, there will be option events and competitions that woul be added to the number of option we will be seeing on casinos.

This takes me back to my teenage years. I don't really think it's strange since it's normal among young adults but it's not something you see on any betting platform. I dared a friend if he could get a girl that we're not close with. The bet was to make her the "girlfriend" within a month if I remember the time limit correctly and I'll treat him to a drink if he could. I spent quite a lot of money on that but we did enjoy the night out hehe.

[piebeyb]

I once bet on my school friend with a bet on who succeeded in dating our upperclassmen at school, then for a month she would be treated to snacks and meals at school, at that time I happened to lose because I was not handsome and stupid again I bet with a friend I'm pretty handsome, lol
I had to treat my school friend for a month and we still remember that to this day.  

What a strange bet you had there. LoL

I sure would have lost that bet if I was the one that placed it, first of all, my looks would have discouraged me and also placed me in a bad position, and then secondly my shy nature would have been a disadvantage for me. That idea of approaching a lady head-on scares the hell out of me and that's the reason.
I'm sure it must have been a great experience for you and your friend   

it means you are not a confident person, I still remember that bet and I can't forget it maybe because of my high level of confidence at that time and thought that that woman would prefer me over my friend but it turned out to be far from what I imagined, lol

really disappointing but at least I have the courage to ask her out even though in the end I was rejected and ended up sad

Back in college or about six (6) years ago, me and my friends hanged out a lot in campus. Most of the time, we would just walk around and do some crazy things just to kill some time. Then, this idea was created where any one of us would shout "sex" or "dick" inside campus elevators with random strangers inside. The person who shouts it must be repeated by us with even a louder voice- the loser would have to treat us something.

Going on, I betted my friend that he should shout "I'm gay" while inside class for around $10. To my disbelief, he actually did it and the prof just continued lecturing while the class laughed about it. I guess that is one bet that I would say is the strangest bet that I have ever made... and it was worth it!

You should think many times before made your bet on spider fight.Because it’s huge risky one,we can’t ensure the predicted results in spider fight game.This happens in my country too,because being a gambler we are interested in gambling in any form of game.This type of gambling was happen using many animals,my senior use the trained cockerel.Because my senior had an habit of grow the cockerel from the young stage.The buy only the ethnic cockerel and not the normal cock.Because it won’t give desired results on the gambling based fights.So the cock was mostly prepared animal in the gambling as compared to the spider.Because we can control cock from his younger stage,this one is difficult in the spider fight.

[Yatsan]

It wasn't a 'formal' betting game but I once bet between a friend being pregnant or not. It was an agreement or betting game between my colleagues and I, since one of us was getting married that time. So in a sudden one brought the idea of a reason why they are in a hurry and this was one of the option. It is I think strange because that is really something to not argue about but the person of interest is down to it. I luckily won by the way, along with the two friends who voted yes. But with official betting game such as with bets among other gamblers, best one so far is the presidential candidate in U.S. First thing here is I'm not from that country. Second is, it is a serious matter because the fate of a country relies on the result.

[virasisog]

I realized that I had a lot of silly and strange bets when I was younger. One of those bets is when I and my husband were watching a movie series and since the ending was unpredictable, we decided to bet whether it was going to be a happy ending or not. The loser would treat the one with the winning bet. Unfortunately, my husband won and I had to treat him to lunch out the next day. There were times that we are doing gambling unnoticeable but it's honestly fun especially if we are doing it just for fun as well. Gambling could exist anytime and anywhere we want.

[OgNasty]

These days I can’t say I’m making many strange bets. As a kid, we’d bet on anything we could think of prior to learning about actual betting games like cards and dice. One bet I can remember making as a youngster was who was going to have the most home runs on our little league all star team. There were plenty of bets to eat things and do embarrassing tasks as well though.

[madnessteat]

During our high school and college years, we all love to make bets with our friends, and it can be done almost several times a day. It's hard to remember what I did the craziest thing for money, but I think I climbed up the third floor of the women's dormitory down the drainpipe. We were a little drunk at the time, but I won a case of beer. I'll remember that bet for the rest of my life.
