Weird Sports You Didn’t Know Existed, Available for Betting Fun

After reading this article it got me thinking how many games are out there that most of us haven't even heard of, but they do exist and some groups of people bet on those games. Here in Serbia, everyone bets on popular games, and the cock fighting (just one example) is not popular here, but in illegal circles there are some dog fights. Still, I wish to discuss just "legal games" with available markets in some casinos.

I guess a lot of people heard about these games from the article, but I didn't know that people actually bet on something like this. So I am interested if there is anyone here who bet on "not popular" sports/games, maybe some description, and where we can learn more about that game/sport.

Truly, all sports are turning into business, and not only for athletes. But a game like "Rock, Paper, Scissors" made me laugh out loud when I learned that it is also a gambling game for money. What next? Will we compete in everything where we can be first, hoping only for luck? Since such entertainment as wife-carrying or cheerleader dancing was simple, beautiful, and funny, however, the simpler the idea of the game, the less a person needs to be literate in something and think, and therefore, it is easier to throw away your money.

There is a hot dog eating competition betting that I have read off and it's crazy that people would bet on anything. There are even some types of bets that are not illegal however they are not listed on gambling websites. It is just among the locals in a pub where they have their boards to write their odds against the participants at the event. Mind you some of these competitions are not sports they are just local events that take place periodically.

I guess we should never underestimate humanity's ability to turn the mundane into a competitive sport, in pursuit of amusement they even create this kind of games. Funny running to these kinds of articles, mainly speaking to some of the games probably traditional or whatsoever and it catch my interest in these hidden games I might say. With the combination of variety, creativity, and wits probably in the latter year we will be able to encounter weirder (but harmless) games and eye pleasing. Would it be exciting to watch the preparation of World Rock, Paper, Scissors just imagining these Rocky Balboa vibe and that orchestic background.


Based on what I have seen some legal games like cock fighting had their own platform for betting, I saw both online betting and physical betting.

These sports are quite funny, it's better to stick to what you know, as easy as these sports may seem you would be very surprised that they are hard to predict, wife carrying took me out, it is quite funny...in my opinion I think that before you start thinking of betting on sports you are not familiar with you should take at least three months to understand the game and know what's it like before thinking of betting on it , otherwise you are definitely going to throw your money away..on 1x bet there's an option to bet on gaming competitions between two people e.g call of the duty mobile..it seems easy but how can you know who the better player is cause you might be deceived by the odds

I learned recently that there is usually a game between rams organized by the owners of the ram. These rams are not trained for the sports so I don't know how they get them to fight each other, It's not like they fight for real but what the rams do is lock horns. They stand at a distance facing each other then run at each other and hit each other with their horns then go back again and do it again. They do it till one ram dies, passes out or gives up.
Meanwhile, gambling is going on in that very instant. People are placing bets on which animal will win and are cheering and roaring with a lot of bant. I don't know how legal that is but it's not hidden, especially during festive holidays in some parts of the country.

Wife Carrying - Lol, but yeah, I've seen video of this games or sports and it was really fun but I'm not sure that there is available for betting.

Rock, Paper, Scissors, - for sure every many of us here have played this game when we are still kids and I'm not surprised that you can play with this game but obviously it will be P2P.

There could be other games as well that could be native to certain locally or country but some crypto based gambling platform might carry them from time to time. In any case if you are not aware of this games then don't bet on them simply as that. Some might have easy rules, but there could be games that like involved Harry Potter? If you are not into this novel or movie, then it's not a good game to play.

Not surprised that weird sports is available for betting, as if there is a demand, there will be supply. As to weird sport, I remember once I saw sauna competition on TV. Turns out it was World Sauna Championships. I dont really get how this can be called as a sport, as you just watch people sit and get sweaty. Just imagine how people came up with the idea of running such events, how stupid even sound to train for such competition.

[Outhue]

Rock paper scissors is very common, we do this for fun in high school and we use our food for the prize, but I never knew that people are still doing this today using money as stake, the truth is these games are only going to attract audience that are so into such games, for someone like myself I don't even care because they aren't my type of games, also I believe they stayed rare or uncommon because many people aren't into such type of games.

I've seen such thing (hard to call it as a sport) as artificial or equestrian (dont know how it supposed to be called), when girl with artificial horse head on stick run on a sand and jump over barriers. Google say it is hobby horsing. Just look on the size of one of these competitions Moreover, this is an international championship, which means such competitions and "sports" happens all around the world. Is this available for betting? If yes, how is it even possible to make a prediction, if 0 depends from a horse skill

In recent years, many new sports have emerged and are being added to casinos, for example: Weightlifting, I know it is a sport, but when I see it in the stakes I wonder who bets on it? Another sport that I also find strange is Shooting, I also see that it is added to the stakes and I wonder who bets on Shooting? There is also Sailing, and it is a sport that I wonder who is betting on it, these sports surprised me because I did not expect to see them being added to the casino, Another sport that really surprised me was Darts. who bets on Darts?



These are the kind of boring sports that I don't watch and wouldn't bet on, it seems like every year the casinos are listing more sports, one day we will see airplane racing being seen as a sport and people betting on it

You know the world population is over 8 billions people, so there is definitely going to be people who are betting on these sports you listed above. It might be unpopular with us but very popular with others. You know when it comes to gambling people mostly bets on sports that they are familiar with. The casinos wouldn't have added those sports to their platform if they don't have people who bet on them, or it could be that people have started developing interest in them and by request from their customers to have those sports added to their platform. But you got me laughing when you said we might start seeing aeroplane racing in casinos someday 😂😂. It will be interesting to have it don't you think so?

Those who loves to drink beer Everytime I see a darts championship on TV or YouTube, there are always guys with huge bellies behind tables full of beer on the background as events main spectators Darts championship - when simple pub game went to far. When

Those who bet on Sailing are gentlemen's in white gloves, who dont place bets, but instead conclude a bet.


Weighlifting and shooting looks strange as a sports to bet. As they are so individual and random. It is not like there are top3-5 athletes that compete against each other all the time. Each year there is often a different guy that represents a country. Dont know how to make a prediction who is going to win.

From the sports or games mentioned in the article, I have seen and heard of Rock, Paper, Scissors and Wife Carrying, but I never knew that people can bet on these games and they are available on online platforms for people to bet on because these aren't those sorts of games where you can gain knowledge about the game and players and then place a bet accordingly. Rock, Paper, Scissors is a luck-based game, no one can know what the outcome of it would be, so I don't think it fits in the sports betting industry but it is more like a gambling game where the results are completely influenced by luck.

People bet on crazy things sometimes, and they probably do it only for fun and not to earn money because if you want to earn money, you will only choose sports where you can know which side will have a higher possibility of winning a game and not some random sport you don't know much about.

[Findingnemo]

Rock, paper, scissors seems to be the weirdest of all the mentioned game but what's fascinating is that it's a game that's almost played by everyone and everyone make friendly bet while doing that which doesn't necessarily mean money is involved then why wouldn't be available in the real world betting cause it's so easy to cheat in the game and anyone can master it, just split second difference is what you need to always get a win.

I went through the article link you dropped and I couldn’t stop laughing because  the game names really sounds very funny and I was actually wondering how the names actually came about.
I think you skipped one of the sport like the sack race and I think the sack racing is already listed in some casinos if I’m not wrong and I think if it’s well regulated, it will really be a great idea and an interesting one to watch even while betting on them.

I think judging from what we’re written about those games, a participant can also bet on the games but to the best of my knowledge, players aren’t allowed to bet on their games, I was wondering if players will be allowed to bet on their own games (just think out loud)

I have watched the wife carrying competition and I find it very interesting. Watching men carrying their wives and passing through different obstacles is great fun for me. It will be easy to bet on this game. I will just check the participant whose husband has muscles and will be carrying a slim wife. It is common sense not to bet on a couple in which the wife is fat. I think there is also a husband-carrying competition.

I guess a lot of people heard about these games from the article, but I didn't know that people actually bet on something like this. So I am interested if there is anyone here who bet on "not popular" sports/games, maybe some description, and where we can learn more about that game/sport.

In my area, we have alcohol-drinking and food eating competitions. Participants are served some bottles of beer or food and the one who consumes the highest quantity becomes the winner. Gamblers are always around to bet on their favorite participants. The participants usually have a percentage of every bet placed on them. There was an incident when a participant died because of excess alcohol consumption, so the food game is the most popular currently.

But a game like "Rock, Paper, Scissors" made me laugh out loud when I learned that it is also a gambling game for money. What next? Will we compete in everything where we can be first, hoping only for luck?

Why are you surprised?
People were known to take bets on the color or brand of the next car entering the city or on the clothes of the next man entering a bar, as more and more grow tired of the same sort of betting you need to offer them new things to bet on, ten days ago betting on esports was seen as madness, look where we are now!

With the combination of variety, creativity, and wits probably in the latter year we will be able to encounter weirder (but harmless) games and eye pleasing.

Nothing is more eye-pleasing and at the same time definitely not harmless nor creative than cheese-chasing

Rock, paper, scissors is a childhood game that is a little strange if it has to involve money to bet usually this game is just for entertainment during childhood with friends doing this game.
There is no betting in casinos for example then this is obviously not all official sports then it will not be available for betting except bets with friends themselves.
Another one holding the wife? I just found out there is this game and made into a bet.

Wow that is indeed a strange game and I almost never touch gambling that uses that game, because the average casino that I play does not have a strange game like that, but it is quite interesting too, but unfortunately games like that do not have many enthusiasts, especially games that are based on local customs or the culture of a particular community environment, will be difficult for most gamblers to understand.

But if it's cockfighting, sheepfighting, I'm quite familiar with such matches.
