Cool and Unusual Things to Bet on Amidst Coronavirus Disruption on Sports

Coronavirus is holding the world hostage at this point. It’s been particularly brutal on sports, forcing major leagues to go on a hiatus. It’s forced tons of more public gathering events to be postponed and put thousands of jobs in jeopardy.

But guess what? If you are a betting fan, the show must go on. There might be fewer opportunities in sports, but there are lots of cool, strange, or outright bizarre things you could bet on. Here are some of them:

#1: Anything about the Royals

So, you have a healthy obsession with the British royals? Good for you—that’s not all. Some British bookmakers allow you to bet on a variety of events related to the royals. It could be something harmless, like whether Prince Williams will get another child.

Or you could predict the possibility of a divorce between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. What odds do you like more? That’s up to you. The point is that anything related to the royals is worth money, at least if you bet on it, and it happens.

#2: All Things Trump

It used to be all things Kim Jong-Un, but he’s been quiet lately. And what guess what that means for Donald Trump? All eyes are on him, what he tweets, says, or does. For betting fans, that also means countless opportunities.

For starters, you can bet major decisions Trump will make as a president before November. For example, will he order a state of emergency due to the coronavirus? Who will he fire from his cabinet next?

What’s more, you can bet on everything the American president does. That includes what suit he wears, who he starts a twitter beef with, or whether golfs on a specific weekend.

#3: Online Slots

Online slots payout up to 99% of wagered money, which makes some of the best gambling games out there. Some are exciting, hilarious, or thrilled with their background music.

Better yet, some slots payout incredible amounts of cash. The progressive jackpot Mega Moolah, for example, has paid at least three players £15 million each. A lot more games have jackpots that payout up to £10,000.

Of course, slots are games of pure chances—you can win or lose. But with the right Fruity slots’ casinos, you can play a select number of games free of charge. The requirement is to create an account on the sites in exchange for free games.

#4: The Next (Famous Movie Character?

Who will be the next Indian Jones? Harrison Ford doesn’t want anyone else to play the character, but there’s pressure for the upcoming flick to have a new actor. Again, Steven Spielberg won’t be directing the film, forcing people to speculate on who will play the character next.

Indiana Jones aside, you could also bet on who plays James Bond, Dr. Who, Joker or Batman next? The best part of these wagers is that you can rely on news sources and social media to make predictions.

#5: Celebrity Award Winners

You can bet on lots of award events, but none of them attract as much attention as celebrity award events. Whether it’s the Oscars or Academy Awards, the BET, or SAG Awards.

If it’s an event that involves awarding celebrities, be confident you can make money by predicting who will win some of the awards. Unfortunately, some US states prohibit people from betting on prize shows where the winners are chosen beforehand.

Nevada is an excellent example. You can’t walk into a casino and bet on Academy Awards in Laws Vegas. It’s illegal and can get you into trouble with authorities if apprehended.

#6: Hollywood Stocks

Sticking on matters Hollywood, there’s an idea for movie and TV fans. If you have a flair for predicting which franchises will last long and which will get canned, get into the Hollywood stocks business.

The idea is to purchase stocks for movies and shows you believe will gain market popularity in the future. It’s a demand/supply model in which people determine how valuable a franchise is.

Traders on Hsx.com, for example, think the Hunt movie (2020) is worth $25 presently. At the same time, stocks for Captain Marvel 2 cost $217. As a tip, franchises yet to be released have the highest value while released flicks lose share value as they get old.

#7: WWE Winners

Sure, WWE is a scripted sports entertainment business, but that doesn’t mean you can’t predict who will win events. The WWE does an excellent job of keeping its winners’ list secret, meaning it isn’t very easy to know who’s picked to win an event until it happens.

For better or for worse, that makes betting on WWE matches lucrative. You can wager on smackdown, Monday Night Raw, or any of the company’s seasonal events.

Unfortunately, you also have to hope no one leaks match outcomes. When that has happened in the past, most bookies either suspended bets on the events or slashed odds.

#8: Alien Invasion

In which year will aliens invade us? That’s difficult to predict even for the so-called ‘alien experts.” But guess what? Bookies still give you the chance to make the wager. And if you are correct and lucky, you’ll get paid sooner rather than later.

#9: The Stock Market

Does crunching numbers feel like something you would want to do? Warren Buffet became a billionaire doing it. That means it’s a market where you could become filthy rich.

However, betting on stocks is easier said than done. Buffet’s advise is to bet in the long term. So, if you lack patience, you could end up losing more than you profit. Other experts encourage that you specialize.

If you settle to invest in stocks related to Silicon Valley startups, don’t decide to invest in agricultural businesses suddenly. Specializing helps you become an expert in your field. And with top-notch expertise comes the ability to make proper decisions that can lead to long-term profits.
