Betting on vehicle traffic

[Mia Chloe]

I came across a rather curious type of bet, at least new to me
Traffic betting 
You bet on how many vehicles will cross a certain intersection/traffic light

Has anyone here seen this before? Have you ever bet on it?
It's called Rush Hour

I can't vividly remember where I saw this on particular bet type but I think it was on twitter but at first it sounded really crazy to me however if you think about a couple of things it begins to make some sense though. People may be kinda bored of regular betting and want to try something out of the box.

This can be really interesting depending on the player since they can believe in a game like this the house edge could be low since they don't control this thing directly.

It's really interesting, it seems like new plans for fun by the casino. And I just saw about it, though I haven't encountered the rush hour game yet. I will play it in the future. But it is not possible to win much money in this random gambling game. However, I think the risk is too high. And so just focus on having fun.

Well since car crossing is the main issue here, Seems like it would be pretty hard to guess.

I have never bet on it but the title looks like the known moving. It's a catchy one and kudos to the developers of it for making it.

That seems to be another replacement for the games that we get bored with. If you don't like to gamble with slots, dice and the other ones.

You can just guess how many cars you'll see crossing on the street. It's a hit or miss mechanics.

This is how we will be hearing about different types of bets that are new for bettors to place their money on as time goes on(expect to see more). The rush hour bet sounds interesting for someone to predict the number of cars that will cross a traffic light at a time. People will rush into it, and the addiction this particular game   will cause, will be a whole lot

I have never come across this type of bet before and sincerely speaking it might be quiet difficult to predict this type of game because the chances of getting it right is almost impossible. Because there is likelihood that your prediction may not work. I want to know if this game is included in a normal casino or this game is only present in the control room of traffic controllers?

I have not had the experience of gambling in this kind of game before but I could remember that during my teenage, I and my friends used to stand by the road side and while away time counting how many cars will pass the way.
Then you have to choose which direction in the road you picked either the east, west, north or south that the vehicles are coming from.

So count the number of cars that passes through your direction.
In those days we don't place bets on it but it is all fun after allocating who is the winner that who has the highest number on cars from their directions.

Are they bored with the bets available in casinos now? Given the numerous bets available, have they tried them out and created a new bet by predicting how many vehicles will pass through a particular route? This is indeed a strange bet. Perhaps there will be new types of bets after this, such as how much rain will fall. LOL

Even betting on soccer still results in a lot of losses. Where can we get better odds and analyze the potential opportunities? So how do we measure the number of vehicles that will pass through? I'd probably need at least five months of data to see the average/median for my betting answer.

This is a weird betting market. Thanks for letting us know it exists, but honestly I’m not really interested in it. It just feels like the kind of market that could easily be manipulated, and I’m guessing the limits there are probably low anyway.

I’m sure there are a lot of strange betting markets out there that we haven’t even come across yet. In this industry, if something is interesting or can attract attention, bookies will eventually list it. At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter to them what the outcome is, because they’ll still make money from the bets.

[Hispo]

Honestly, I have never seen something like this before and it is as wacky as betting on the weather (something I have seen before).

Also, one needs to take into consideration that traffic is something which can be easily fixed of influenced by a single person...

What would happen if someone places a high bet on this market and then the same person decided to simulate an accident and block near streets in order to make his bet to be the winning one?

In would stay away from this, specially because I doubt there is some actual regulation on betting on traffic. It would make more sense to bet on the weather, which cannot be easily manipulated by a single person.

Well, to me it is another interesting game that is very unpredictable but the most important this is that people should have a very good understanding before going into this kind of game.

 It is a game that you really need to understand anything can happen and the essence of this game is just to gamble for fun and with the amount that you can afford to lose. Games like this is purely based on luck and it is important that one needs to have that understanding of having the right limit in gambling.

[fullfitlarry]

I haven't seen this kind of games, but I remember that when I was young and with my mates here, we will have this kind of bet on what will be the ending number of the first car that will go on our street.

Sometimes there will be money pot for us to have some fun, but most of the time, we will just have this game to just pass the time specially at night. 

But as for this game, I don't know if grown ups are going to be interested on this kind of betting.

[famososMuertos]

What interests us about the example OP shared is how variance dictates the game; regardless of your choice, everything is subject to those probabilities.
Whether it’s fun or not is a matter of personal preference, but our focus remains on the probability and the expected return.

[alegotardo]

People have nothing better to do than invent new things?
But it is indeed interesting, and I see that it is possible to create many betting variables based on this same scene, for example... "how many buses will pass through the intersection", or "do you think an ambulance will pass in the next 10 minutes?" and perhaps even some more "evil" bet like: "how long do you think it will take for the next "incident" to happen at this intersection?"

Of course, for each of these variables, the complexity of detecting the events increases a bit more, you would need a very good AI monitoring this 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in addition to a person dedicated to reviewing the results and handling appeals as well. But it's possible, and I believe that something like this would attract good bettors simply because it's something "different".

My first thought was there would always be more rooms for countless games and people will definitely want to give a try or bet on them, and I see this one as Avery interesting and fun filled game that would be enjoyed mainly bu most casinos players. And it'll be more fun more especially when you can predict the next vehicle to cross the traffic but then I haven't tried it nor bet before but I presume this games has more energy in driving one to addiction easily.

When I think that I saw it all, something new surprises me. So this is "Rush Hour", betting on vehicles crossing the intersection in "Goiânia, which is the capital and largest city of the Brazilian state of Goiás". Well, I have never seen anything similar before, and I am not sure what to think about this... In a way, it's interesting, I guess... watching cars crossing, we all do that or did that at some moments, but this is another level. I already see the new markets: How many red cars will pass? Will there be a pink car? What are the odds for crash?

I don't know... maybe I would try it, but this is not a "game" (can we call it a game? ) I would enjoy playing for a longer period.

[Darker45]

I haven't tried betting on Rush Hour, but this is amusing. I can also relate because I had experiences betting on almost everything. I think I had an experience betting with a friend as to what comes next, a car or a motorcycle.

This makes me wonder whether humans by nature are gamblers or the people there are just bored and creative they come up with anything to bet on, or perhaps like in my country, there's this strong presence of gambling culture.

Not people like me, cos I really don’t see the odds of actually accurately predicting the exact number of vehicles that’ll cross the traffic light at a particular time.

There are so many questions about this type of game, like the cctv footages, will it be from a particular location, like in one city or different cities. And will this be a kind of a real time game or some kind of a virtual thingy?

[Anayochukwu]

To be honest this is my first time of seeing something like this since I started playing gambling, and I can see that many gamblers don't have any experience with the bet. Anyways I think the only thing I can do with this type of bet is using the amount that I can afford to lose because it's obvious that winning wouldn't be possible unless when the luck is on your side, so it will require a lot of discipline and self control before you would be able to make it through this game.

[crwth]

This is new to me, and it intrigues me to bet on it lol. This makes me wonder what else we could be betting on, because this is a typical thing you do with friends when you are young.

I'm just curious about the legality of this or something to do with privacy concerns. Like, even if it's public CCTV, filming it or acting on it could cause issues if the relevant party has something to say.

Another concern I have is whether the feed is actually live. Imagine it's the day before yesterday for footage, and someone could really rig the system.

[Mhizlove]

The bet sounds unusual but it also interesting, which shows how betting markets always finds a new creative way to attract people apart from normal spots. But I just want to know how fair and transparent the system is, something like who keeps the records on the vehicles and how does the results are being verified because of this part isn't looked into, this will make people have doubts about the outcome or final results
