Funniest things you have seen while gambling

[stompix]

Well, obviously, apart from winning.....

We all know horse racing is about raising a horse with a good pedigree, getting a good trainer, a good jockey, and...a name to be remembered and sometimes you have this:

Horse racing aside, this is what I opened Betfair live to:



Unfortunately, I don't know how it ended if the Armed Forces managed in the last minute to defeat their adversary in that dangerous attack... 
So, any moments in betting when you wondered what the hell are you watching?

There’s a recent news on ITF about an amateur on tennis manage to enter on the main draw wild card by lying about his experience.

He manage to enter by faking his career and show a lopsided match 6-0 back to back set and only have 3 points from opponents error.

I remember this match after I saw this thread since I just watched it yesterday.

It’s like the meme about when you lie about your resume and still get the job.

Hi ! 

I’ve asked myself questions like this quite often. For example, many years ago when I saw the Curling World Championship on TV. Some guys were rubbing the ice with brooms, and it looked pretty ridiculous and funny. Sumo wrestling also makes me laugh — when two sweaty, fat guys are wrestling in the ring. It’s really funny to me personally.

I've always been a fan of MMA, and surprisingly, there are a lot of funny moments in it.
In this particular moment, I wasn't really betting at that time, more like just watching it for entertainment. I still find it funny even after a few years have passed.
Joe Harding's K.O at British Challenge MMA 18. 
The guy is showboating, dancing after throwing some kicks and punches, then boom. K.O

Here's a video link to those who aren't familiar with this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1puziwt5Su8

The funniest thing I have seen is also funny but also very sad as I have seen a long time, don't know if that video is still on Youtube but it is in South Africa Premier League when one of the best teams there maybe it was Mamelodi Sundowns and the forward, a great player missed a penalty by "kilometers" not just meters though as I said it was also thought of being a fixed game and the referee did nothing to stop it.

Now funny for real it has been although I never wish harm to anyone but it was funny in Spa F1 1997 when a massive accident happened in the rain right after the last Eau Rouge corner in such track where a lot of cars got involved, this exist to this day and I know for sure in Youtube, I watch it sometimes before I am waiting for an actual F1 race to start. I have also seen many funny things in the national football league where I live now but they won't go to Youtube or at least not by the margin that other league go there.

Actually there's a lot of funny moments in gambling but one notable moment is in The Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, there's are some few Olympic games in the market and I'm curious why only few were available and I checked what are some sports are in the Olympics and I saw a break dancing and I didn't know that they have that in Olympics but one performer caught my attention and a lot of people. I do respect her craft but I can't help it because I thought she was not serious. It's not actually directly with gambling but it's related since I was looking at Olympic games where I can place bet on and saw this category and checked it.

I have one that is in the same context as your second experience. I don't really know about teams outside the big leagues, at that time, there was a team from Switzerland called 'Young Boys', I thought it was a club filled with young people, until the commentator said that 'Young Boys' goalkeeper was already 35 years old, I was immediately shocked that the club did not live up to their name.

[Ivystar5]

It's really funny with the names I saw in the op, the wife's are the enemy to their happiness so they just come up with using such names which is funny but however that's not as funny as UFC fights, bro you can't count how many moments you will have yourself asking "wtf I'm I watching" all because you can see one person playing around like it's not a serious, fight... imagine Jack Paul's reactions they are always funny because he is dying but making memes for the audience, Lols and just like the video julerz uploaded above is very funny.

I have not bet on the horse race before and I either don't find it fun to watch the game. Even everything you have just explained here seems strange to me but yet I don't care. Haha  .
With my no ideal of this game, it would be too funny of me jumping into conclusion to say you are correct or not when I don't even have a clue of what you are talking about.

So that reason of having fun in bets is when you focus specifically on the games that you are more familiar with. That is if you don't want to o keep having your times ruined over continues loses with not even a nearly attempt of winning .

So we can actually distinguish between fun and funny as over the times, some people tend to gamble just because of the expressed experience of other players, they don't at all consider the risks accompanied. I guess that is also funny of such bettors.

All I knew about horse racing was that horses race (duh!), but you shed a light on few more things.

...and sometimes you have this:

That's funny indeed. I have come across similar 'funny username' stuff while playing video games.

I didn't understand much either, nonetheless I bursted into laughter when commentator would mention those two names, just felt comedic to hear.

Funniest thing I've seen is people being kicked out of a casino for just coming to eat sandwiches. The guy was even open about it and took it well. But obviously they cancelled his card so he couldn't do it ever again sadly. Thankfully in some countries there are so many casinos so one could basically survive off this even if he was banned off of a dozen, based it was done in moderation so the staff wouldn't be too bored of you.

I've seen a lot of funny things in gambling that I don't even know which is more funny to talk about, but since I don't have any pictures or video to share, I will talk about those who lost to casinos and then go back to attack the casino..

Today, we have alot of gamblers who attack casinos in many ways, but I read about this man who after loosing a huge amount of money to the casino, walked away but moments later, he came back requesting the casino to give him back all the money he lost, the casino's management obviously refused and sent him out of the premises.
He left and moments later, he returned again and planted a bomb 💣 which went off and destroyed parts of the casino.. 😁
The man was later arrested and jailed, the main story is as funny asf to me and I don't know why...

God, that is painful to watch! Speaking of people who should not be competing where they are, does anyone remember this?



Now, seriously, would anyone have taken a bet on her winning?  

I didn't understand much either, nonetheless I bursted into laughter when commentator would mention those two names, just felt comedic to hear.

Imagine your wife knows you're watchign the races and this is what she hears from the living room

4-time winner, all in claimers not graded races but still https://www.skysports.com/racing/form-profiles/horse/341318/arrrrr-usa

I checked what are some sports are in the Olympics and I saw a break dancing

That wasn't break dancing, nobody knows what it was, probably not even her! Kangaroo on meth while having a seizure was my guess.

Amusing indeed. Didn't know horse racing has comical element to it with names. I wanted some more entertainment in this regard and came across this Graham Norton clip, it's pure comedy (Anita Hanjaab FTW): https://youtu.be/3ELTfS_wM74
