Will you place a bet on a humanoid robot boxing match?

[Outhue]

I don't know how to build one of these robots, because only someone who knows how they are build can comfortably place bet on them, the building quality have to be the same because they are not even human.

Silver plates have different quality levels and so is iron too, all these matters because if one is weaker the stronger will win easily, this is like betting on something you don't understand.

Also when a chip or part of them is faulty you won't know until they break down, it's easier that something will go wrong, there must be some kind of machine they will use for screening these bots just to make sure they are in shape and nothing is broken.

In my opinion, this has a great future in sports betting. Currently, these robots are slow in their movements, but I believe that in 20 years they will make movements faster than humans and I am sure that people will be filling up to watch these robots fight in 20 years. I am also convinced that people will bet a lot on these robots' fights in 20 years.

I agree with you, although it will be very different from the sports we are used to. Since robots don't have feelings, don't bleed, don't get tired, and can be terminated, I'm guessing that future robot fights will offer something different from human fights. Most likely, it will be the death match addition and I'm sure that gamblers will like to bet on such a match. For now though, betting on such a game has no meaning at all.

Sorry but i still don't like it, in the end you might as well sit in front of a video game and the characters who fight each other can also do things that can't be done in real life, like Goku's energy wave.
What would be the beauty of seeing robots punching each other? i don't understand

The same question can be asked about the fights that we see now. Where is the beauty in seeing people punching each other?

If it is true that there is a humanoid robot boxing carried out, of course there will be regulations that provide humanoid robot standards that can compete,
with regulations that have been set, then all robot components, chips and the like are equalized so that people will only choose which ones have good abilities and strategies.

It is true that something that we do not yet understand will be difficult to predict, The same is true when it comes to betting in an unfamous league and choosing which one will win,
it is also difficult because we do not know who the player is and how the previous game was.

I will not be interested to bet on such a thing because maybe there is no way to make an analysis and researches to know which robot will win the match.
So in other words, it can be something like a blind betting on sports like boxing or any other fighting games that we have no idea at all who are the players on the match.
Even if it will be available on betting site, I'm wondering how the provider will determine the odds of the match.

[|MINER|]

To be honest, I actually saw a humanoid robot boxing match through your topic, although I doubt it's actually a real robot. Because I had seen some videos before where fake robots were used to perform various military tasks.
Anyway, I found the topic interesting after watching your video, but right now I'm not ready to bet on it. I think I need more time to learn more about these games and then may I interested to bet here but for now my answer is no. But it is something like the e-sports betting.

But you can do some research on the company that produced the robot. Like we see people bet in car races based on the company that produces the sports car. Since these robots are controlled by humans during the boxing fight, the skills and experience of the human controllers could be an indicator of betting. The odds of the game can be determined by the past record of the robot brand and the human controllers.

[Oluwa-btc]

While watching the game, it feels slow and unrealistic. The movements are literally robotic, with delayed reactions, dunky footwork and real sense of boxing strategy, its more operated by players who know how to control the robot not players who know how to box very well.

What most people will see as the problem is that the game is too early as it is the first of its kind and people will not be able to make any analysis but just bet on it. Some people will not mind if the game is slow or not because if they certainly know which one would win, they will definitely bet on it. Do not worry, with time things will get better if people really support the game.

Everybody is security conscious about this kind of gambling and the excitement that it exudes.Basically,it involves robotics teams, competitions and performances that have been technically engineered and it's vital to understand the accuracy and capabilities involved.This kind of sports can be extremely difficult to adapt to.

[Odusko]

Me putting my money into this would all depend on who's behind the control button for the robot of my pick. Except I just want to experience it myself how these robots could look like while in action and just catch some fun from it. But am certain it's no much of any difference from the usual fighting games we play which winning greatly depends on the skills of the player with the pad. Or am I wrong?

Who is behind the control doesn't matter as much as who well the humanoid robot is made. The type of programming it has and the type of software it has. Just as with our andriod phones, they have different operating system. Some make them faster to respond when they are pressed while some others are very slow, may lag and have other operational challenges. This is what I will be looking out for if I were to bet on this type of game and not even the skill of the player with the pad.

For me, the controller or operator behind the humanoid robot does matters a lot as much as the software features possessed by the robot. Even in the example you gave with different android phones. Don't forget that if the user lacks good knowledge on how to operate the android to get the best performance out of it, every advanced features that comes with the operating system will just lay dormant and won't operate itself. Except in cases where the machine is programmed to self operate then we can both agree on the operator being irrelevant here.

Yes in such situations you don't control entirely what happen in the process of determination of the outcome and final results of the  game, so why should you trust such a game process I won't for any reason, the fact that in such a game arrangement your skills and analysis is suspended and you are at the mercy of the humanoid robots since their are nothing different from the regular bots that we have which are subject to the control of those that develop them.

I think I read someone saying something similar to this and that can be true, since such is applicable in sports betting where odds are determined by past records or results of the various teams, that's how the performances of the humanoid robots will be rated too from the previous matches, making it possible to predict the outcome of the next match, if it's that simple, I will definitely bet on it but not yet available on all casino, I guess.

But don't expect transformer battles, more like toddlers barely being able to talk, trying to steal candy from each other.
As for gambling on it, it's no different than anything out there that still offers a niche betting, some do bet on RC races, some bet on EA sports, some even bet on virtual sports that are basically RNG driven, they might have public and have some bets.
But with the current technology and the way the "sport" looks, don't expect any major bookie to be interested in it.

I somehow expected the fight would be the same as in Real Steel... well anyways- it was quite entertaining watching two (2) robots fight each other. While the technology is there, it is far from being competitive given tons of factors involved.

Probably in the future if this kind of match gets popular, I might try and stake on the match. Probably in the far future when they develop further their technology, it may get more entertaining compared now.

I agree with the point that you raised.

There are just too many factors involved that make this somehow difficult to gauge upon. Since we are talking about robots being controlled by technology and a user, there is just too much risk on my end given that I know nothing on this field.

Oh no stompix, I had to watch that and it wasn’t any intense, it’s certainly one of the things I don’t hope to watch again. I thought I would see something like in the Hollywood creations but this was far from it. Everything was in slow motion and the robots looked really unstable. They would even fall on their backs from their own jabs and side kicks.

There isn’t any reason I’m having to bet on that. Perhaps this is in the beta phase and might get better than this but nope, I stick to regular human boxing matches if at all I hope to bet on boxing.

[promise444c5]

Not a good idea to me , there's  nothing really special about it yet,they  could be prototypes of what is yet to come...
 In future, maybe a completely  different  style but be assured that gamblers can literally bet on anything doesn't have to be betting on a gambling site , so yeah! we could have gamblers betting on such already

The same question can be asked about the fights that we see now. Where is the beauty in seeing people punching each other?

I don't mean that, I mean that with two humans you can appreciate their skill, their physical prowess, their muscles.
sports disciplines where two people hit and fight are full of respect, at least that's how I see them
so it makes sense, even if I don't watch the fights
between robots, what's the point?

[Crypto Library]

This is the first time I am hearing about such things humaniod robot boxing match.  It was nice to see this, at least in real life boxing, one person hurts another and I'm more afraid of getting injured and dying than enjoying it.

Anyway, these things are still not clear to me, but I have seen such games where robotic cars are used to fight. And besides, if we look at e-sports or e-games, the scenario is pretty much the same, so if you can bet on this things with good knowledge, I don't see anything wrong.

[uneng]

Robots can be controlled by AI or human beings through joysticks, therefore you can expect this category of sport will be heavily prone to manipulation of results, especially if there are bets involved. I think gamblers must be aware about this possibility before they start placing bets on the sport. If they are fine with the risks implied, go ahead...

Anyway, it's quite interesting to see the rise of automatons for fighting purposes inside sports industry. I forecast that in the future we are going to see less human athletes on boxing and similars, to give place to robots, due to the brain damage caused by the punches on long term on those athletes.

[GideonGono]

This would be interesting, but I still wouldn't bet on it right now, maybe if this would be something that would be recognized and be normalizes in the future then I would consider betting in it.
For me it isn't just a robot boxing match, it is also the skills of those who controls them and the creativity to those who manufactured the robots.

[Julien_Olynpic]

There is something unreal about these robot battles. In fact, these robots are not autonomous at all, they are controlled by operators. We could talk about real robot battles if these robots themselves developed the technique and tactics of fighting their opponents. The operators of these robots fight each other through controlled models. But such a battle would be much more epic and honest if the operators fighting each other controlled the same models. It is somewhat similar to a competition of radio-controlled models of airplanes and ships. If we talk about the battle itself, these robots look funny, to be honest. They have slightly childish or teenage proportions. I think that the rules of such battles will change for a long time.

[rodskee]

I don't know how to build one of these robots, because only someone who knows how they are build can comfortably place bet on them, the building quality have to be the same because they are not even human.

if everything is exactly the same then it is like betting on a machine running on randomness it is almost like slots or other games where you can't really change anything nor you have control over anything you are just a passenger to the ride and whatever the result is is plainly random

Also when a chip or part of them is faulty you won't know until they break down, it's easier that something will go wrong, there must be some kind of machine they will use for screening these bots just to make sure they are in shape and nothing is broken.

i just realized that it would be so much easier to manipulate robots than humans even if there is a way to detect i am sure there are also ways to conceal if there is a bug or anything to make the other one win every match

[TopTort777]

We already had this robot wars. There was a tv-show robot wars long time ago (or it still is, but it isnt as popular as previously). In was entertaining to watch because every kid dreams about creating or having such a robot with a remote control. What was shows in first post is an upgrade. I would not bet on current robot boxing match, because I dont know how to predict who will win. As they are controlled by humans, have same punches, same movement, same size, weight, everything the same, then how to predict who will win? Fastest fingers in the West win. I think its pretty easy for them to lose balance, making it more a one-punch fight combined with operator who will be faster to push punch button.

[Smartprofit]

I think that in the future there will be many such sporting events where robots will compete with each other. Moreover, I think that there will be competitions where robots will fight people (while people will be dressed in special suits and use exoskeletons).

Also, if we are talking about robots, then, most likely, it will not be limited to boxing matches. Boxing is a fairly humane sport, compared to combat matches. And this is not accidental, because our civilization considers a person to be the highest value.

However, with a robot, everything may be different. I do not rule out that the appearance of such humanoid robots will lead to the revival of gladiator games, where opponents will fight with cold weapons. And the goal of such events will be the complete destruction of the enemy. Such gladiator games have been repeatedly described in science fiction novels.

Will I bet on such sporting events? This is a difficult question, because there is also a moral and ethical component.
