You can now bet on one of the world's most dangerous predators
As the saying goes: "New times - new solutions." We are talking about an innovative proposal from one of the well-known Western bookmakers. Against the backdrop of quarantine measures, due to which bookmakers are suffering huge losses, some operators are coming up with non-standard betting options. In the last few months, it has become possible to bet on the weather, the spread of coronavirus and other exotic news items.
In the company MyBookie They took an unconventional approach to increasing profits. Here, bettors were offered betting on sharks. The idea is that visitors to the bookmaker's office can track the behavior of nine white sharks in real time, which are marked with beacons. Naturally, this is not done by the bookmaker's employees, but by scientists who study the migration of marine predators. Precise data on the location and behavior of sharks is presented on the OCEARCH website.
The bookmaker offers several betting options. For example, users are asked to guess which of the nine sharks will surface first in a certain period of time. Considering that there is a lot of fraud in the world of sports in the form of fixed matches and other things, betting on sharks looks like an ideal option for those who are ready to play, relying solely on their intuition and His Majesty Chance. As you understand, it is difficult to come to an agreement with white sharks.
When the idea was just being formed in the depths of the bookmaker, several variants of unusual bets were proposed. Including which shark would attack a person first. However, for humanitarian reasons and the negative reaction that would certainly be shown by the public, it was decided that this type of bet was unacceptable.
Since quarantine measures are still in effect in many countries, we can expect that betting fans will be treated to new offers that will make up for the lack of real sports competitions. The main thing is that the next original idea from bookmakers is within the bounds of decency and the norms of modern society.
