Darts & DartboardsFor A Perfict Darts Game!

Online betting is a bit like alcohol anonymous because anyone with a bit of money to spare can indulge into their secret passions and bet their life away. Since I’m not a gambler by nature I am consistently awed by the amount of people who indulge into sports betting or other weird bets found online.

With the upcoming excitement of Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup, also called Australia’s Spring racing season I’ve done a bit of digging to unveil some of the weirdest online betting options offered to those of you crazy enough to indulge.

If you are sick and tired of sports betting look for the weird alternatives for a bit of fun:

Say you are sick of waiting in line at the local TAB to place your spotbet but you are itching to bet some money why not look at the weird but wonderful world of online betting. Here you can bet on all kind of things, stuff you never even knew existed let alone being a runner for bet-a’holics.

Political betting odds:

OK so you did favour Obama when he was elective US president. Perhaps you even put your money stakes on his name and won a couple of bobs, but who would have guessed that political betting is big business and people were actually throwing their money at names such as Obama and McCain.

But yep, WE CAN.

American Idol bet:

American Idol has gone from strength to strength since its inception years ago. So much so that we now got Australian Idol fever and can’t spend any weekend night in piece during the length of the season without hearing the crooning voices of the contestants blast from TV’s across the nation.

If you fancy a bet on the Idol stakes you certainly can bet on who will win but not only that, you can also make other weird and wondrous bets about who will sit on the lap of Simon Cowell or who will kiss Paula. Whatever next?

Bet on darts:

Darts is a sport that involves arrow-like pointed tools called darts that are aimed at a round target with various circles painted onto it. For professional dart players a lot of money is in the stakes and now you can get a part of the action when you make a sportbet for darts.

Crab racing:

What the? Us Aussies know too well what a crab race is, but did you know you could actually bet on them? No kidding. You can.

Snooker:

If you ever played billiards then let it be known that it has nothing to do with snooker except using a cue, balls and a larger table. Commonwealth countries love their snooker and there is even a World Championship. I have played snooker in the UK a few times and it did have a nice appeal if you like your pub-by style atmosphere and cold one – but then who wouldn’t?

Celebrity bets:

I have to say that I came across various celebrity betting sites and none of them contained any useful information. I suppose we have to keep guessing as to whether we can really bet on the next Hollywood dream couple and how many kids they produce as part of their coupling action or if Harry Potter will defeat the dragon.

Truth is, that besides the crab racing bets, the Idol and political bets none of the above really is that weird. They are simply online bets we make depending on our interest.

Bingo, casino, poker:

None of the above are weird unless you have nothing to do with them. I guess I like to visit an actual casino if I feel like gambling once in a blue moon but some people love the anonymity of online betting to gamble their money.
