Gambling industry has gone to a different level

[Cityhunter34]

Honestly, I don't usually feel surprised when I come across anything like this, because gamblers are always able and willing to try their luck with different games. As long as it involves money they don't care how risky the game is, and that's exactly why many people get addicted to gambling, because they always want to make money easily from gambling.

So don't be too surprised about it, as gambling industries are always looking for ways to make more money from gamblers. So it's left for us to always understand that gambling involves more losses than wins.

Growing up I usually associate gambling with sports,. casinos, slot machines etc..

Hahaha that shit is crazy I have seen many peoples gamble on random things but this one is absolutely crazy thing . I have a friend in my hometown they gamble in cricket matches and there gambling style is like 4 sixes on 6 balls or a wicket in an over so this  make sense but the box and the cars is a crazy thing it's like this guy just found new ways to gamble his money. I think this guy is genius or he has a lot of free time.

This is quite new to me as well, but gambling is gambling. We're just used to the common way of gambling such as casinos, sports, etc. but as long as others find something entertaining and it involves money, it can be their way of gambling. There are a lot of other ways people like to gamble or make bets. People could gamble and make bets on politics, the weather, who'll get eliminated or who'll survive on a show, or who'll win on an award show. There are too many options people can gamble that they find entertaining, and it's also interesting to find things like this cause sometimes it'll surprise you that such things exist.

As long as the condition can not be affected by you but yet you stake money on the outcome, that's gambling in itself and yea I have seen activities like this, people do gamble on crazy things and especially for something like this where they are just gambling on the cars passing the box, you can tell it is purely pleasure first before the money to these kind of gamblers. They enjoy the thrill on gambling on certain circumstances and it outcomes then matches thier prediction.

And if you have any other crazy form of gambling you know about do well to also talk about it here.

I watched the video. First off, it felt like less than 10 people were watching it live on the stream. Then I saw it's got 500 likes. Well, it's not that much either. But, anyways, it's gambling when some people bet real money there. You are asking about any other crazy form of gambling? I think, any form of gambling is crazy(Not that I don't gamble myself. I like crazy stuff). Betting on the last two symbols in the block hash looks to me is absolutely the same, if he didn't bribe the police to control the amount of cars going through the yellow square.

But I have come to realise that people actually gamble on a lot that I can bet I and most of us here don't know about

I was in tiktok when I saw an individual actively gambling with real money on how many cars will pass a box or line they draw



He will predict how many cars on "exactly, above or under" the figure of his choice. I was actually surprised
No dice, no cards, no players, no Messi, no Ronaldo just a line or a box on a real life road with the use of CCTV camera, it's actually crazy.

Well, if money is involved and people are guessing the right answers and if their predictions match, they win,  I would consider that game a form of gambling, even if there are no dice, cards, or chips that commonly used in gambling but there’s still a bet and money is involved. I don’t know what kind of gambling is that since that type of live broadcast on tiktok doesn’t usually appear on my FYP, but that’s cool! Imagine earning commissions from your live streaming while hosting betting games like that. 😄

Oh this Game lol. I also do watch it on tiktok live and I assure you it's fun to watch, especially seeing them loose money to this hard form of gambling  , like how in the world will one be able to predict the amount of cars pass a place, that's why it's gambling tho.

I do consider it gambling, but it's not a type of gambling I will want to do intentionally, I can do it for fun, I could just put in a little bit of money and have fun, but anyone thinking they could make money from this stuff is just being delusional 

[Supreme Donvic]

Gambling has actually gone to another level, there are a lot of things people gamble about, we may have not even known about or heard about, gambling is too broad, as long as people can argue about a particular thing they can gamble on it.
I don't think if I know any crazy gambling but I believe there are a lot of things people can gamble about that I myself have not even found out, as time goes on casinos we keep including some things that will shock a lot of people.
This one you saw on tiktok may just be 1% off many more shocking gambling that you have not seen.

[Silikiem]

When two, three or more people start having different opinions about what the outcome of anything will be, then they are free to bet on it to see whose opinion was right. I’ve seen different things people usually gamble on so I’m not even surprised to see the level in which gambling industries have taken gambling to. There are many gamblers who are tired of gambling on a particular pattern of betting, they want to gamble on new things, they’re bored of repeating same thing over and over again as most gamblers see it as fun. Gambling industries will continue to develop new gambling patterns as long as there are people to play.

[TedMosby]

I am not sure if it's real or not. Has anyone tried it? But what I am more interested to know is whether it's a fair game or not because it somehow raises many questions in my mind. The first question would be for people who live near that location, is it staged or real traffic? Don't you think it's easy to manipulate? Like you can place a big bet and hire people for an Uber like service to drive past the box. Next question, how can the casino prevent this kind of manipulation from happening? Also, I wonder if you guys think the casino is the one that manipulates the outcome.

Do you guys remember the news about someone who manipulated a weather sensor so he could win his bet on a prediction market [1]? If I am not mistaken, there's also a thread about it here on this Gambling Discussion board. For those who don't know, there's a guy who placed a bet on "Highest temperature in Paris on April 15?". He used a hair dryer to warm the temperature sensor near the Charles de Gaulle runway perimeter. As MIT said, "The risk of weather data sabotage is rising. Prediction markets and a move toward AI forecasting are starting to put the accuracy of weather predictions at risk." [2].

That’s true. Sometimes gambling can get boring for some people when it’s just always one option from time to time, so as long as people are always willing to try their luck with money, the casino would always go the extra mile to find new ways to turn everyday uncertainty into an opportunity for people to try their luck in. It’s possible for the variety to change but if you look closely, you figure out the underlying appeal still remains the same.

Gambling evolve man and this is the effect of new technology, there are lots of new gimmicks and new way of betting introduced. This is the reason why seeing those kinda weird stuff of betting exist.

Now its up for people if they like those things, you have seen and notice several people talk about that topic here. I don't know if there are fellow member bet on traffic or they just ignore it.

But for me I don't see it attractive for now. I still love the classic games and sports betting, but who knows maybe there's some evolution or changes will happen and those groups running such type of bet will create something that could possible catch our attention then we decide to bet on it.

Just like you mentioned, gambling has really gone beyond betting on sports, casino, and the use of card. Gone are the days when gamblers were only gambling on these areas mentioned, but today we are really seeing surprising things in gambling. Personally I have seen many things in gambling, I have seen a gambler who exhausted his money, and decided to gamble with his shoes, and clothes, and many other forms of gambling that does not relate to what we use to know before. Some people can even risk their life for money in the form of gambling. People are really taking all form of risk just to make money, and there are many form of gambling that is taken place, and some of us are not even aware of, and all is a way of looking for money.

[Ryu_Ar1]

This only makes us look stupid but for those who are too aggressive in looking at gambling then they will make this as a solution if it is difficult to find a suitable gambling for them because some of my friends are currently doing the same just because they are tempted by blind gambling like this.  There is no RTP, no probability, no strategy because they are just trying to guess and make luck the most crucial to rely on and I don't really like this type of Game.

Even though in gambling luck does take a role but when there are some things that we can make as one of the advantages such as probability or even if it is in slots or original games at least there is RTP for me it is much better than games like this.

Its really surprising how far gambling has actually expanded beyond the traditional form we all knew it to be right? But isn’t that a good thing? I’m sure many people would get really bored if they come back everyday and just meet the same type of games and markets, so I believe the casino is just trying to give the game alive and more entertainment and engaging for everyone.

Again, the moment that money suddenly becomes the main reason why people are gambling, they’ll literally be willing to bet on anything they believe they stand a much higher chance of winning and making profits, even if the idea is actually ridiculous.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

This is not New most gambler is capable of using any medium or way to find it easy or possible to win all this style is target is wining but for me I don't feel it's right to go certain length, that is while I watch in some action because a lot of action may not be ordinary clear eyes addiction may intrude because the curiosity to net on or gamble on anything in order to win and get the money is high believing it's for fun is lack of the real purpose some is not about love of knowledge towards that direction but trial to see if they will succeed.

[Pandu Geddon]

The pleasure obtained from such gambling games is only enjoyed by a few people who indeed have the same interest. Compared to sports betting, I am sure not many gamblers enjoy such casino games. The bets are indeed fair, but not for all gamblers. It's not a different level, it's just another type of gambling that can be done.

This gambling is not new and people has being engaging in it for a long time now, though it might look crazy for some people just as you just said and as you saw it for the first time it can be so meaningless to you as a person but I can tell you that anything can be used as a way of gambling so long there is an output which brings profit to the gambler at the end of the day so it's very normal and not a new pattern of gambling.

Gambling has gone beyond sports betting, baskertball, table tennis and casinos just to mention but a few, there is dog race, ram race and other kinds of gambling that has being introduced to the system now , gone are those days that we are only familiar with casinos and football kind of gambling and no matter the gambling that one engages in, it still requires a bit of luck to win. If you carefully take a look at the one you mentioned now, you will be surprised that the gambler will still loose if the numbers of cares he predicted to pass don't cross the line, so everything about gambling centers on luck.

If he's predicting or something with it with real money involved. That's definitely gambling. People will do anything in the name of gambling or they'll gamble with anything and I've seen worst or unconventional way more than that. Nowadays, with lot of access to technology and what it can do, you can definitely bet on anything as long as their will be a fair chance of competition. Even when people are at a slight disadvantage they still gamble.

Indeed the gambling industry has gone to different level and there are a lot of new games that are introduced into the gambling industry.Though I haven’t come across this game in the gambling industry but a lot of people have been giving their reviews that the game is total bullshit so I wouldn’t want to explore it anyways.The main reason why I am gambling is to have fun and be entertained,so if I’m not going to end the game without fun then what’s the essence.Gambling has gone beyond what you knew or expected,it’s certain that as the world is evolving a lot of industry would evolve including the gambling industry,the system you were conversant with might still not be thesame as the world evolves.In my own opinion,it would be wise to stake a little money on a new game.
