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

[danherbias07]

Wow, I didn't know about this one, but at least I know about it today. Although I have not witnessed it before now, it doesn't sound strange to me because I have actually heard of other weird kinds of games. The popular bullfighting game also made people realize that there are more wired games out there, but some are not practiced in open spaces where the government can be aware of them. 

I always found myself terrified of games like bullfighting and was surprised to see that people were putting money on it, someone's life is at stake but I guess gamblers dont have that mentality anymore after they are running for money.

Games are weird and when creative options are low, people turn to things that are downhill in the weird category to end up with games that makes others roll eyeballs and cringe.

They will always find a thing to bet on, it is human nature.

What I don't like more is watching a dog fight. I know it's illegal now but there are still those who are getting away from it and they are doing underground fights.

Well, some people do like the fighting scene and I don't understand why they love cockfighting. That kind of gambling is very well known here in our country and in fact, they made it legal and the local governments are profiting from it. Even my father was a patron of that and he even raised his own roosters just to battle with others.
Every Tuesday and Wednesday a lot of people go to the cockpit but I still don't find it amusing despite all that hype that I see and I have not even bet once on that sport or whatever they call it.

They do that for money so that may look strange for others while they don't feel that is strange. Gamblers can find a way to still gambling easily because they can use something for gambling. We never realize about that because we still use a normal way like visiting the casino to gambling.

Their creativity to use something to be use to playing gambling is no doubt. We can see that while drink cola, they can use it to bet and who is lose will pay the drink. Many more things that gamblers can use to gambling which we never know.

Maybe that depends on culture where they lived because we may not see that in other country. We can only say that is strange sport but for them, that is an interesting sport that they do.

That's easy. You predict a country to win. For instance, you have shooters from different countries compete at the Olympics. You bet on who gets what medal. It's the same as betting on boxers in a match, you just choose the winner.

Do you really think that shooting is strange? There's so many shooting competitions on international level, like biathlon.

Shooting is not a strange sports to bet on but this is also a fact that very few people will bet on this. The reason for this is that this sport isn't common and only a few people have full knowledge on the players who play this sport and all the history. Also, not all the casino will offer betting on this sports.

What I don't like more is watching a dog fight. I know it's illegal now but there are still those who are getting away from it and they are doing underground fights.

I really condemn these fights of the animals whether it is a dog fight or cock fight or any other similar game play where we see the animal blood. These are so cruel games and they should not be allowed, but there are many parts of the world where people play and gamble on this sports. 
I would not call them human who have no soft feelings in their heart.

As youve mentioned one of the trending here in my country is cockfighting which is when people are in a ring and there's a web application they are using to check the winner of the game of course it's just the same with sports betting we are using but it's in the limited option just the winner there's no set of games and down or kills needed. In the other games you've mentioned, I guess I did not support this like the dog fight because I have a dog, my companion. People getting more and more just to satisfy their entertainment even to animals.

I went through the article. It was really astonished to see that so many games are available that I wasn’t aware of and people are really betting on them. I only knew about rock, paper, and scissors, but the rest of the of the games mentioned in the article are mostly new for me. It would have been better if the direct link to these game events were present in this article so that I could have checked the odds offered. But we need to admit that these are like the party games and are primarily based on luck. But I do sports betting to use my skill to increase my winning percentage. Hence, if you ask me, then I would completely avoid these types of luck-based games for betting.

I would not bet on other events and various sports that I know little about. The thing is that I would like to start playing at least a minimal positive result in betting on my favorite sports and in which I know almost all the players. But I do not always succeed even in this, so I do not even want to think about anything else. Of course, there will be those who want to test themselves and try something new, of course I wish such players good luck. Nevertheless, the bookmaker at home will come up with new things, only the player wanted to place a bet, for me it is obvious. Of the interesting things for me, only to watch what they come up with next time is new.

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.

I have also not heard of such event and being included in the gambling bookmark.
Literally we are not indebted to know the whole of the sport games neither do we have to sit upon gambling on all kind of games in the gambling spots. Hence we bet with the expectations to win, we are mostly attracted to the gaming events that we are familiar with.

Usually games that would enable us play with knowledgeable possibilities to perform analytical skills that may offer us chances to win and not just placing stake of our money without understanding how the games are played.

So then, I myself in particular don't stake on strange games that I don't have knowledge about because it would be difficult to secure winning.

Why not? If are gambling for fun and find some game interesting we will place a bet on it... maybe we will win/lose doesn't matter, what's important is that we enjoyed watching it and participating in some way.

As I was going through the thread I saw a couple of interesting comments, but I didn't notice (maybe I missed it) that someone added a new game that wasn't on the list. Maybe I should lock this thread so that we don't spread unnecessary spam.
