When we think of sports betting, we usually imagine the more mainstream games of soccer, basketball, baseball and maybe horse racing. These are all exciting sports that offer bettors a great chance of making some winnings. ut there are also plenty of other less-well known sports from around the world that also offer the possibility of placing a wager. Some of these are both strange and unique in that they are so obscure as to only have one paricular town and it's people participate in.

After overhearing a typical pub discussion as to who might e the faster, a man or a horse, the landlord decided to put the idea to the test. In 1980, the first annual Man vs Horse Marathon occurred, with the horse winnings with relative ease. But as the years passed, the runners started to catch up. Finally in 2002, a man emerged victorious. In doing so he claimed the total of all the annual prizes that had been gathering dust over the previous 22 years, amounting to a nice £25,000.

When most people think of sporting events, the mind turns to the staples of football, tennis, and other conventional activities. But if you do some research, it's possible to find many peculiar and interesting sporting events and activities from around the globe that offer something new and original. Unfortunately it's often not possible to place bets on these events as they are not officially recognised by the sportsbooks. However, they are all still great fun.
