Nah, dude, do it for sailing stuff.

Getting into sports betting sounds like our generations mid life crisis. I’m trying to be more creative myself, you only get one shot at it you don’t want to waste it.

GAA, my friend. Big time.

This joke was supposed to be funny, but of course they have Jai alai, why wouldn't they. They'd have Michael Vick's dogs on here if they could.

You joke about this, but I remember long ago in my youth, public access TV in California (channel 56, KDOC) used to run jai alai, and there was some weird way you could call in and bet. My brother and I had no real idea of what was going on, we were just rooting for guys to get nailed by the ball.

how about that norwegian thing where they vault across a body of water?

Reality is dumber than fiction.

The worst one I've seen on these betting sites was the Little League World Series which is absolutely infuriating.

denimglasses.bsky.social•12 hours ago

I've got some obscure ones for ya

Timbersports - if lumberjacks were athletes

Tech ball - ping pong but soccer rules

Aussie rules football - top tier rule set, all time great sport

edwarddoty.bsky.social•13 hours ago

I unironically love Jai Alai, and sports betting is pretty much the only thing keeping it afloat.

pantshee.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Me, who grew up 2h away from basque country : "what do you mean weird ??"

stealthisbook.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Oh god. I thankfully failed to find online betting for dog fighting or bear baiting (which is apparently legal in some states!?), but camel wrestling is a go.

The point is well-made in any case - but ironically for you, jai alai is like *iconically* a gambling sport.

My understanding is it’s a lot like horse racing, in that a very large fraction of fans are only interested in it as an excuse to gamble

Lots of money laundering and other shady stuff in German sports betting

robotbuddy.bsky.social•13 hours ago

You might wanna read the Wikipedia page for Jai Alai. Of all the “obscure” games you could have pulled, that one is particularly connected to gambling.

jamie-is-fridge.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Literally the only thing I know about jai alai is that it's a big gambling sport.

andybest.bsky.social•12 hours ago

to be honest, I expected your next video to be about this, well, about that thing where it's 'investing' on 'outcomes' using a totally real system that is totally not just bookmaking. Mind is blanking on their name for it, can anyone help?

boltdm.bsky.social•9 hours ago

As funny the joke is (I really liked it, honestly), betting companies even make up their own sports and leagues, so that their customers ALWAYS have something to bet on. Like, wtf is this.

What about Sepak Tekraw?

Don't know if anyone offers, but Eisstockschießen is just the Austrian, way less graceful version of Curling

This doesn't have anything to do with this tweet, but I'm replying to it because this is when I noticed that for as long as I've followed you, I've got some reason thought your pfp was of you (in a bucket hat) looking up, when it is, in fact, a picture of a duck swimming.

scubaprison.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Who's to say he isn't a duck as well as a human?

Is it possible to bet on HEMA?

frostych.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Oh, just get into eSports, my boss at Gamestop with a gambling addiction owed a bunch of loan sharks money so would literally bet on eSports based entirely on names, and otherwise would have me sell off the promotional game merch to a mom and pop video game store

Isn't that the plot of Dodgeball?

Which one of those took over for Whitey Bulger?

That's also big in Miami.

The real money is in padel…or pickleball.🤷🏽‍♂️

ishkur.bsky.social•2 hours ago

Try padel. It's like a less dumb version of pickleball and squash.

You haven’t really gambled until you’ve put money on non televised tennis matches just because you like one of their names

Betting on carrom would be so hype, I wanna put 50 on the man they call the columbo express

Hard Rock Bet has the exclusive rights to sports betting in Florida, and despite Jai Alai being a thing in south Florida, I don't see it listed as a thing that's available to bet on.

What about marble racing?
