How does an online Foodbetting site sound?

[swogerino]

Eating is like the opposite of a sport.
Who's going to watch people eat for fun?

Yeah,I find those stupid tournaments of people extremely obese who compete with each other who eats the most hamburgers in the shortest amount of time,I have seen some of them several years ago and some people even vomit during the tournament,nothing attractive.

The same would be with food betting,who would love to bet on guys that eat more hamburgers than others,that is non sense for many classical sport bettors who most likely bet on soccer,tennis,basketball,baseball and F1 as the most preferred sports to bet on.

I think that this is one of the utterly dismal and creepy "sport" or "show" where to bet or to see.
I find also useless any kind of bet since the risk of a "rigged" match is practically behind any corner
I know that there are also some channel dedicated to "mukbang" but come on ... I would never place any serious bet on that but more over I don't want stimulate anyone to eat tons of trash food

Exactly. That is a total waste of my time and money. And if it likes mukbang, then it’s more like a regular food  show than a food betting. Aside from I don’t like seeing people eating some exotic foods around, I also don’t like the idea that they are making their health at risk. A lot of mukbang eaters have reported to compromise their health and now they’re suffering from serious health problems.

There may be something like this but since isn't that popular you might not noticed it, naturally there are some competition within the locals of Nigerians who do come together for a challenge between two persons and whomever wins take the money home, one thing there is that it could be more dangerous to people because it's related to life and whatever being consumed excessive may course a serious damaged to the competitors health which in turns whatever that happens to such person might be subjected to the host.
Which at some point may course a serious damage to the families of both aspirants despite being played for sporting purposes.

Yes, I like food competitions and enjoy watching challenges on Youtube. I think it would be an interesting activity to bet on (...)

I don't get why someone would enjoy watching these people eat like pigs while snot drips down their noses and into the food, but as they say, to each their own.
Food competitions are just as disgusting as they're unhealthy.

Actually there are many people who enjoy this, as we can see by the numbers of views on Youtube videos which pass the millions mark. If you search food challenge you will see lots of videos from professional eaters completing massive challenges quite often. I don't know how these guys maintain their health, but at least their physical form is slim. Probably they do those challenges only on weekends or once every week, 15 days or month... And on the rest of their days they follow a strict healthy diet. It's entertaining, because they overcome limits most of us aren't able to, similar to Guinness World Records.

[Casdinyard]

The most remote idea I have of a food betting is betting on who's getting crossed out on cooking shows or who's going to win.

How does foodbetting work anyway? it's not everyday that there's a competitive eating competition running amuck, let alone a site that promotes competitive eating in the first place. It's also worth noting that this is a niche gambling derivative that not a lot of people are really into. So it's not like it's going to blow up on the mainstream. While the idea is great in my opinion and it could have potential if foodbetting branches out to more than just competitive eating, stagnating it to a single game to bet on is not going to be helpful in making sure that the whole concept flourishes.

[harizen]

From bizarre kind of bet, to outrageous and well- horseracing bet, football/soccer bet, boxingbout/tournament bet, tennis match/tournament bet, basketball betting. Has anyone given a thought to foodbetting?
Customers joining the site to bet on their favorite foodie are expected to register as a member, just as is required in a normal bet site. They would place their bets on contestants who are expected to eat more or eat less quantity of various prepared food within a timed period/duration.

How's the setup? I mean what's or where's the supposed source feed of the match?

Is it "live" or pre-recorded? Or the setup would be in a normal restaurant and bettors will choose among those customers (but the customers didn't know that they are being streamed?) Not sure about how the interest of placing a bet on this type of match will get a hype.

What are your thoughts on the concept and initiative behind this idea.? Is it worth investing time and resources in?

Personally to me, it's not even catchy and not worth it for me to place a bet. Why should I when there's a normal and usual sport that I really followed for a long?

Can we classify this betting on food eaters on who eats more or less within a time frame, as a sport?

Generally, if we have to compare it to the usual sport, I can't classify that as a sport.

Simply, it's just a usual tournament. Eating fast is not a skill. If streamed in a restaurant with usual customers, it's even violating the customer's privacy.

[danherbias07]

I find it strange when I see guys who can eat so much with just the little body they have. I mean, where they are putting all of that food?  
I can still remember Man versus Food before and then Joey Chestnut who is a world champion in many eating contests.

There may be other contests that are unique but I still don't find them in gambling sites. There's this one game World Chase Tag where players play tag, yes just the simple game back when we were kids was made to a worldwide sports game but they just levelled up the competition with some parkour moves and obstacles to make it harder.
I tried looking for a gambling site that offers this kind of betting but none was available yet. Maybe in the future if they get popular.

 Has anyone given a thought to foodbetting?

Sounds awkward to me.

What other funny and real betting exist like this you know of?

Not a fun of out of the box things than the normal betting games.  So I don't give a time to look for them.  However any kind of personal challenges may ring the bell.

Would you try it out if you had the chance and resources to?

No.

What are your thoughts on the concept and initiative behind this idea.? Is it worth investing time and resources in?

They are making fun of the ugliness looks while the contestants are eating like a pig in their challenges.  They do not consider personal safety since most of these challenges are unregulated. It is also dangerous to the contestants since when it comes to food there is a threshold of kind of nutrients one can intake. Over intake of certain foods may be harmful to one health.  With the current food shortages, I do not think it is advisable.

[dothebeats]

I'm not quite sure whether I'm in on the idea of betting using food, but if that's something that people are benefitting from, then I'll have no ill comments about it.

What other funny and real betting exist like this you know of?

Hotdog eating contest. Spicy wings eating contest.. there are a lot of bet games that include food. Some are really common sidewalk contests that happened to make it out of the local scene and get noticed by some bookies.

Would you try it out if you had the chance and resources to?

I think I'll have fun watching it and it's a good stress reliever if needed, but I wouldn't put any money on it given how wild it can be. I won't know if there is a participant who doesn't get full or has a rare eating disorder, so the chances might be stacked against me without me knowing.

[kojektea]

I see from the IG content that it looks like a challenge but it also contains promotions about gambling sites. then is there anything unique? I want to see what happens if food is used as betting material in the future? then what is at stake? I'm sure this will be a new trend if it works. once successful, food will become one of the gambling options besides casinos and sports betting.

[Hispo]

Making a good service out of those it would take much money, probably more than it would take starting a normal sport bookie.
It would need a research of the market and also much advertisement to reach those interested in such novelty. There is a market, for sure specially in the United States where there are actual and reputable eating contests, though, I am not sure on the number of followers of that "sport" / contest.

Here in my city there was once an attempt to start a league for people who wished to participate in eating contests, however, in my opinion the reception was lackluster; it did not escalate in popularity, so in that sense, there will be communities and countries where people may not be attracted to it (beyond the initial curiosity of the idea).

[Slow death]

What other funny and real betting exist like this you know of?

in my opinion, another type of thing that I find unbelievable and meaningless are rooster bets, bets on presidential elections, these two things I wouldn't waste time analyzing and placing bets and even for bets on those who eat a lot I wouldn't bet on it, because it's something much harder to predict, in the case of cockfight betting I think it's something dehumanizing that people are doing, there's nothing in it that anyone could find funny, about presidential elections of countries in my case it would be like buying a ticket lottery, in the lottery the chances of winning are very small, so I wouldn't bet on the country's presidential elections. But if I were to bet on my country's presidential elections

I would bet because they are very predictable, so predictable that I would put my entire bankroll on the bet, because with the corrupt government of my country, for over 50 years, the same party always wins because they manipulate the election results, and this problem of manipulation and corruption is what could be seen in betting on those who eat a lot. who will guarantee that bet will be demonstrably fair? What would it cost for someone to give a lot of money to the guy who is going to eat a lot and tell him to purposely not eat a lot and then for someone to bet a lot of money that the guy who eats a lot won't eat a lot, no one can guarantee that this kind of thing won't happen

Would you try it out if you had the chance and resources to?

I definitely wouldn't try

What are your thoughts on the concept and initiative behind this idea.? Is it worth investing time and resources in?

in my opinion it is not worth spending resources investing in this idea, because the biggest problem with this is that there will be no way to guarantee that the game will be demonstrably fair. playing tennis for example, he is a guy who wants prestige, reputation and fame so he strives to win and be at the top of the rankings, so he will not accept bribes to lose on purpose. whereas a guy who eats a lot in a contest, has nothing but the money he won from the contest prize. so he can accept bribe

Can we classify this betting on food eaters on who eats more or less within a time frame, as a sport?

This could even be classified as a sport if it were widely accepted, but it would be very difficult to have many athletes from many countries, and many countries in the world don't have many people with the money and time to eat a lot in a few hours.

[Wexnident]

Trust me when I say I found this idea quite amusing at first, but I don't know of any initiative that has come up with a food betting website yet, except for this guy I found on Instagram who has made it NigeriaVsFood challenge.

Here's the link to the Instagram page.
https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cw1-LsjIfGP/?igshid=NjZiM2M3MzIxNA==

Man, these guys are weak. There's probably a lot more you'd find interesting OP on restaurants that have challenges like this instead, I've watched a few but nothing really official from the restaurant themselves, only from the challengers here and there. Would be a great source of views imo. I also wouldn't really call this 'betting", it's more like a challenge really, so I wouldn't consider it a bet. The Instagram profile only made use of this content I think to promote his affiliate link or something.

Nope. In the first place, I reckon it's extremely hard to replicate two duplicates of a food type to provide, and I mean REALLY similar. Even the smallest deviation can be an influence to a loss imo. It's interesting sure, but I have enough fun watching this on restaurants that offer challenges themselves. Besides, I can't exactly imagine how training for this goes lmao.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The truth can be a competition without Attracting much attention, normally there are competitions where the one who eats more steak than the Other , the one who buys more hamburgers than the other and these are competitions that tend to be very American style, where there are still some counties. They like to do it, at least I see them as much healthier than placing bets on fighting roosters or horses, which is now seen as animal abuse, and Honestly , for me, cock fighting should not exist under any circumstances, so if we We start to buy the option of relatively obese people who like to compete for who eats the most food, because it is not tied to me, it is more interesting than seeing those animal actors who kill themselves and that people bet on who is left alive, something ruel but I consider it very bad, now when it comes to food, what should be considered is that people do not abuse and throw away food because there is a lot of hunger in the world, so in these types of competitions food should be treated, eaten with the respect that is Deserved by others who in their ometno do not have to buy a Single bite.

Now, I don't know if this type of competition is held worldwide. because clearly things can deviate to those things, I remember that as a child I did Competitions like this , because I was a Child who hardly ate, obviously others beat me, I used to eat very slowly, and my friends very quickly , l The truth is, I couldn't no matter how hard I tried to eat quickly, and those who were fat didn't even have anything in less than 5 Minutes , as I was in sports, Obviously one eats more, one eats more, and one is I grew up much bigger, I made each session of my sport hungrier, therefore I learned to eat faster, a few years ago a cousin did a competition with another, the one who ate the most hot dogs, and my cousin won, and That's a pretty skinny person , but he eats everything they Give him , he's the competition so I've actually Seen.

[rhomelmabini]

If it's just a contest about food eating that would be fine but if it will be involve that anyone can bet on it I guess that will be easily manipulated. There will be just a random occasions that it's more real and good to bet on but if it's an organized one that includes betting, I'll doubt that to be honest.

[Chikito]

Would you try it out if you had the chance and resources to?

Of course, I won't play as a Fooder or eater, I am interested to play as a bettor and choose a player I want. Because food, whatever is kind, if excessive you eat it without limit then there will be many diseases that perch in your body. Maybe, I don't really agree with this game if I compare it with too many outside countries who are starving or have hungry children. maybe the committee should also think about the impact in the future, If they wish, it is better to donate some prizes to countries that have starving people.

[adzino]

Doesn't sound very interesting to be honest. I mean, are there people that has "favorite foodie" like you mentioned? Sounds weird. I mean who enjoys watching someone eat competitively? That would make me nauseous. And how would transparency be maintained? What is stopping one of the players from manipulating the bets? Also, this will be promoting overconsumption and it is definitely not healthy. There are few competitive eating contest, but there's a reason they are heavily regulated.

[crwth]

A food betting where it's live would be more entertaining. I do see the post from the Instagram page that it is somewhat fake because that's not how they would eat if they want to win the money. They are like just casually eating it and not really making it fast and actually winning the money LOL.

I would love to bet on those types of things but I think it will just fuel our judgment of people where it's "the looks" instead of actual ability to eat.

[Zlantann]

What other funny and real betting exist like this you know of?

I have heard of the wife carrying competitions in some parts of the world. Men are mandated to carry their wives along very difficult terrain and the first to get to the finish line will be declared the winner. Some gamers bet on a couple they think will win the game and factors like the size of the wife and the strength of the man in put into consideration before betting. Some people have also organized husband-carrying competitions but it is not as popular as wife-carrying.

Would you try it out if you had the chance and resources to?

I will not engage in the game of food-eating betting as a participant but I can bet on the game. I don't think I can be part of such a game because it could have negative consequences such as health issues. But it will not be morally wrong to bet on participants with track records. But I would like to engage in the wife or husband-carrying competition. This is because it is a kind of sport, it is fun and can bond the husband and wife.

What are your thoughts on the concept and initiative behind this idea.? Is it worth investing time and resources in?

I am not comfortable with the eating competition because eating shouldn't be used as a sport and this competition has no health benefits. So I will not organize or sponsor a food-eating competition. But some people are skillful in such games, so watching and betting on them will not be a bad idea.

Can we classify this betting on food eaters on who eats more or less within a time frame, as a sport?

This is not a sport because the participants will not derive any physical or health benefits from the game. Rather it could lead to sickness and even eating disorders..

[retreat]

It's quite unique to see gambling like this, but if asked whether I wanted to gamble on a match like this I would choose not to, because the chance of the match being manipulated is certainly there. Not to mention that the risk of players choking is quite high which makes this gambling not really worth participating in.
