    Default Whats the Most Obscure Sport you have ever Wagered?

    I seen West Side Pete betting and winning on Japanese soccer a few weeks ago and it knocked my socks off.
    Anyone here a sharp at obscure sports? Waterpolo? Badminton?

    I wager on all kinds of goofy crap at night, most recently I bet both sides of a Japanese soccer game and secured a small profit. It was a really lame bet just for a cunthair of action before I went to sleep. Always fun waking up to a winner, psychologically it helps.

    Nothing too obscure but I wagered on a series in the WNBA finals although I new nothing about it. Took the dog for the series at +800 and they won the first game, lost the 2nd by something like 2 points, and lost the 3rd at the very end.

    Wouldn't consider them obscure, but have bet on tennis, mma, and golf.

    I guess the craziest was betting on the winner of Dancing with the Stars.

    Just a random bet because I didn't really know what the hell I was doing. That is how all of my basketball bets were until about 2 months ago.

    Soccer is as obscure as I get, but I have bet on some of the lower leagues if the price is right. Only + numbers on goals scored usually.

    I have bet German Volleyball, Euro hockey, Japanese bases and curling (Had ontario to win the brier at +325). There is always value to be found if you look hard enough. Until all the books pulled out of the US betting NASCAR had some value, I'm finding it has less and less because if the americans don't bet it, the lines don't move.

    I usually bet on the Tour de France team standings for a small wager. This year I will be taking team Rabobank as a long shot again.

    Default South American soccer

    I used to win these auctions from a gambling forum in Australia a few years back where you would get $100 bets for $40 bucks and such and one turned out to be from a sportsbook in Argentina I believe.They didn't have much in the way of american sports so I bet some division 3 minor league soccer game in Columbia or Ecuador.I actually picked it up on internet radio but couldn't make beans out of it.I had a dickens of a time getting the box score on it too a few hours later.As it turned out,I lost anyway.

    Default Does anyone find Russian women attractive?I don't and I'm part eastern euro heritage.

    My mom's parents were from that general eastern block end of the world so I'm not being a racist here.hehe!Does anyone here find Russian women attractive?They all have sort of a ratty or mousy look to them in my opinion.I hear stories how trains over there don't have bathroom holding tanks and just drop the poop right on the tracks through a hatch in the floor and it just gives me a weird anti hygenic outlook on women from there.They all look like heavy vodka drinkers,heavy smokers and women who get rid of a kid every year or two.

    I just saw an episode of The Sopranos where Tony was fooling around with the Russian women and they were harsh and ugly and everyone on the show was making them out to be beauty queens.The one even had a wooden leg.Same thing goes for Chris's bar owning girlfriend Adrianna and Tony's wife where people on the show and in real life I know think they are so good looking.Not in my book they aren't!

    I get these friggin e-mails and such 20 times a week from Russian women or some damn dating-match making service I never subscribed to and these women are desperate to get out of the Ukrane and such.In the strip joints just to the north of me in places like Winnipeg I guess it's full of strippers from the Ukrane and there's a big Russian mafia influence in Canada.

    How in the hell do our governments let in all these people from over there with checkered pasts?


    YIKES!This was supposed to be in a separate thread.I goofed!

    Bet Yachting and Hot Dog Eating Contest.

    I went all in on Joey Chesnut this past summer. Except Bodog only gives $500 max for that wager.

    Also like to bet drag racing, arena football, golf, tennis, or anything else that is on TV.

    There should be some obscure things to bet on this summer with the Olympics.
