Weird sports we didn’t know existed, available for betting

[acroman08]

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.

I got curious and did a quick search on Google about "weirdest sports betting" and I found this article(full link below), in that article "cow chip tossing" was mentioned and did some more quick searching and found out that it is basically cow dung tossing contest. I can't believe there are people who made a sport out of tossing dried-up cow shit 😂😂

One fact about sports nowadays, it has become attached to gambling and this is how most of the casinos become happy about it.

Cockfighting, dogfighting, spiders fighting and any other animal fights seems always have betting on the side.

And the same goes to animal racing, dog racing, I even saw mouse racing before IIRC. And there so much more that are unique but I agree about OPs concern that these unique yet weird should be only the legal ones.

Well, a presidential election betting has become a norm these days but before it was one of the weirdest.

Quidditch was unexpected lol. I'd imagine if science were to ever advance so that we can make actual brooms fly then it'd definitely be something that would grow and develop. Granted there might be better ones to be made out there but hey, if HP fans still exist by then I expect it to happen.

Now Rock paper scissors though, that's weird. That thing can basically be a luck-based game. Decision making? In that split moment? Nah, that's just luck. I know everybody knows it and still is probably a part of our lives at some point but personally, that would already say that it's just, well, based on luck. I mean I use it to make decisions that I can't decide on lol, like coin flip!

This is also the first article that came out, I also saw that cow chip tossing. Very funny but weird indeed. These are the others that have appeared on me but seeing esports on this list is no longer a weird thing for me because it has been part of the professional scene nowadays. Anyway, here are the other weird sports that it says not from the article but from the top of google results upon searching this one;

• Reindeer racing
• Wife carrying race
• Arm wrestling
• Chess boxing

and many more...

In fairness to arm wrestling, this seems to be not that weird anymore as it's gaining popularity nowadays.

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.

I haven't yet betted on those not popular sports games but I know some people who betted on such strange games and a few of them even earn profits by doing that.

There are games like cock-fighting and Pheasant-fighting where gambler place bets and earn profits if their bet goes well. I avoid such games personally but some people like such games.

Concerning cock fighting game, i think it has been discussed some times back maybe a year now, the truth is that if we look in directly towards the aim on why people were investing into gambling business is because they can make money from it, but come to think of it this way, some sport were olden days gaming activities in which they may not be able to fit in now on some of the modern and advanced sporting activities, people were aware of some of these sports, but they consider the ones invoke and introduce them in, it wont make sense to be having a number of games in which the gamblers are not interested in playing.

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.

In our south Asian region from offline games Cock fighting game it is popular here there is also another popular games that is Bull Fighting which held on villager fair. I don't have any experience on them for betting but here the local peoples do bet on those games for sure. And they also enjoy it like we enjoy the football, Cricket. But those games are also losing there existing for the modern world order.
Anyway I have just explore more about the some Weird sports games just see the complete list and laugh.

Human invented gambling amd sports which means humans can go at length to gamble with anything that they think of just to have fun and make profit. I am surprised at these new sports that gamblers have already started using to bet which is not known to some part of the country.

Wife carrying....makes me to flash back on a sport show that I do watch on TV when I was a kid with various task to carry out amd the first to finish his own task is the winner of the game. I live watching that sport show because every week they come up with strange sports competition.

As for cockfighting then it is really that something that popular here in our country.

OkBet
SabongVIP
OnlineSabongLive

We do have several sites mentioned above on where you could be able to take up some bets but of course it would really be something that be interesting specially into local.
Its not really something that popular in other countries but rather this one considered to be that animal cruelty. As for those dog fights then i do able to hear of those things on which
this is really indeed existing on illegal places on which this one cant really be possibly be legalized.

Just like on what others been saying that human beings does really have that capability on making up those things to be sports as long they could be able to put
up some bets into it. Some of those games or gambling is really that been part of their cultural specially this "SABONG" or cockfight in the Philippines on which this is something
very popular and its been long time that been part of the culture on having something like this.

Teqball, last year I saw there is a market for this kind of sport and it looked unique because it's like playing ping pong but with feet and a soccer ball.



And another one is Curling, which makes me confused, why this type of game can be considered as a sport. And the market for Curling is already available in many sportsbooks.

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.

Cockfighting is one of the sports that i want to see flourished in the online world. It begun to blossom in the Philippines but sadly it had to stop because of the negative impact it had on the community but business-wise, tons of money goes to the operator of this business. If only i'm a wizard that can create a platform for cockfighting then i could be a millionaire already  .

What is certain is that gambler will never bet on game or sport that they have never known before, if they do bet it may only be out of curiosity and only do it once or twice.
Every gambler has their own favorite game or bet and of course they will always prioritize it, playing and betting on new things also often experience more failures.
I sure only few gamblers play and bet there.
Moreover, for things like that, there may only be many on local gambling sites, for large gambling sites with global use, they will definitely only provide games or bets that are already popular.

Everything that strives depends on how much publicity is made about it, or how much time has been spent to improvise for a fair and unique gambling experience etc.. "I scrolled through my feed profusely as I lost a glimpse of a video that caught my interest, then I stumbled on a video -- THE SLAP game.. they called it POWER SLAP or something. I laughed so hard like I hadn't for quite a long time."

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.

Most of those games don't really have complex rules as compared to regular casino games. Bookies are only tryna keep them in place for as long as people find interest in them. In all, I find it more relaxing if I play on spot games.

[yahoo62278]

If it's being played, someone is betting on it somewhere. That is true for nearly everything, even little things such as the color of gatorade poured on the coach after the win. People, whether it be bookies or regular people, see an opportunity to make a dollar, then they will try to make a market for it.

Watch some of the famous poker players on some of the televised cash games and listen to some of the silly things they have bet on. There was 1 guy that got breast implants and had to keep them for a year, another guy who lived in a bathroom for a month while people still used the bathroom, and all sorts of crazy stuff.

[danherbias07]

I know cheerleading but I didn't know betting is available for that one. I might check that one if ever there is a big cheerleading tournament that will happen.
Quidditch? Now that's really weird. I thought it was only from the books of Harry Potter and it cannot be done as a real sport but I guess they found a way to make it come to life. Still, I have never seen a betting line for that game.
I understand there's a slot game like Rock, Paper, and Scissors but if it's a tournament then that's more awesome. The wife-carrying game on the other hand seems to be a local game so it's more prone to fix match and I don't want to be betting on the other side if ever I see a betting line open.

Nice share OP, thank you.

There is a hot dog eating competition betting that I have read off and it's crazy that people would bet on anything.

This is the essence of human mind which could bet on anything it couldn't comprehend in full. I think such behavior is just the try to make the amends to itself for the lack of knowledge on events the mind is betting on otherwise it could be counterproductive just to observe, let's say the notional the hot-dog-eating competition.

That's actually true, after so many conversations in this forum about gambling I discovered some type of gambling I never thought of as gambling. like the cock fight you have mentioned and also the dog fight. I have noticed the bull and ram fight and some other form of traditional gambling use only in the rural areas. One thing I observed is that the only gambling popular are the online casinos which football betting is most popular and easy to predict compeard to other traditional gambling. That is why people don't mostly focus on them. If those traditional games can be studied very well like football, and added to online casinos, they will have been popular and used as an alternative or second option aside football.

It's just that some key sports have gained relevance over small sports that are just coming into the limelight of not, there are a lot of sports that are out thier that people in different localities are conversant with and that are not even on most official betting platforms. The slipping sports that's has made wave accross different media platforms aren't on most betting site and yet one popular sports that most people enjoy watching.  Even the one where you're to carry a lady from a spot to another has gained recognition accross different region and is now one of the regular event that takes place during weeding in my region where the man is told to carry his wife from a spot to another. Some of these sports aren't necessarily going to be something you will have to bet your money on and might just be for the fun that comes with it but it's good to also experience multiple of sports so as to get to see different levels of fun in different context.

I haven't heard about Wife Carrying and Underwater Hockey before in my life and I haven't seen these games in any casino, so I think it's almost impossible to bet on these games for most of us.
To be honest, I don't bet on unpopular games because it's impossible to predict the outcome when you have no idea about the game and its participants. I have made such bets in the past and won some games with 10 odds but I don't risk it anymore, maybe I'll bet only for fun here and there.

But a game like "Rock, Paper, Scissors" made me laugh out loud when I learned that it is also a gambling game for money.

A local online casino offers a p2p game where you make a game offer with a bet amount, then a person who wants to connect with you, clicks play on your offer and you two are connected p2p. You and your opponent have some seconds to choose Rock, Paper or Scissors, then the result appears and the winner gets the point.
I think it will be good if many crypto casinos implement such p2p games where users try their luck against each-other.

This is an interesting thread, seeing the article that you posted. The wife's carrying is new to me, but the others are things I have encountered in some way. When I read this, I thought of things that make you do Anything and then turn it into a competitive thing. Then, you can form a possible market in the gambling space where people can also bet.

Thanks for sharing this OP.
