Weird Things to Gamble On: Craziest Bets Available Online

Aliens

First on my list of weird things you can bet on are aliens! BetUS offers multiple markets for extraterrestrials, including where aliens will be confirmed to exist by the end of 2025 (+250).

Another way to wager on aliens is to bet on whether any well-known celebrities will be revealed as extraterrestrials. BetUS lists the following celebs as favorites to be confirmed as aliens.

• • Dennis Rodman (+1200)
  • Steven Spielberg (+1300)
  • Mark Zuckerberg (+1500)
  • Kanye West (+2000)
  • Miley Cyrus (+2000)

Of course, when you are talking about aliens, you cannot overlook the possibility of an alien abduction. Here are the favorites to be abducted by aliens first.

• • Donald Trump Sr. (+1200)
  • Vladimir Putin (+1800)
  • Elon Musk (+2000)
  • Barrack Obama (+2000)
  • Taylor Swift (+2200)

Both wagers must be graded by the end of 2025. If you feel adventurous and want to try a wager on these, you will find them at BetUS.

The Price of Eggs on Easter

There are funny things to bet on in the short term, too. For instance, BetUS has the following odds on the average price of eggs in the US on Easter.

The latest monthly Consumer Price Index showed a dozen Grade A eggs cost an average of $5.90 in U.S. cities in February, up 10.4% from a year ago. https://t.co/pcgXsWx4wl

Here are the current odds for the price of a dozen Grade A eggs on Easter:

• • Under $5.50 (+175)
  • Between $5.560 and $5.750 (+110)
  • From $5.760 to $6.000 (+100)
  • Between $6.100 and $6.500 (+200)
  • Over $6.560 (+250)

Easter this year is on April 20th, 2025, so what will happen by then?

The price of eggs hit a record high in February, with the average cost of a dozen eggs hitting $8.58. A combination of several factors, including a bird flu outbreak and Trump’s tariffs, heavily impacted supply chains.

Celebrities

There are also exciting and crazy bets available for your favorite celebrities. For instance, you can wager on the future of popular celebrity couples.

Bovada lists the following couples as the favorites to break up next.

• • Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater (+125)
  • Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce (+450)
  • Zendaya and Tom Holland (+450)
  • Meghan Markle and Prince Harry (+600)
  • George and Amal Clooney (+1000)

There are a dozen other couples listed in this market, so check out Bovada to see all of the betting options.

Heartbreaking splits are not the only way to bet on well-known celebs. For example, Bovada has a market for Sydney Sweeney’s next boyfriend. The top contenders are Austin Butler (+400), Scott Eastwood (+400), and Timothee Chalamet (+400)

Religious Events

Religious events also made my list of the weirdest bets currently available. The Pope’s recent health struggles have shined a spotlight on who could replace him in the Vatican. You can also wager on the next miracle to be debunked.

Next Pope

Betting on the next pope is one of the most unique futures wagers you can make. The leading favorites to replace Pope Francis I are:

• • Pietro Parolin (Italy) (+275)
  • Luis Tagle (Philippines) (+500)
  • Matteo Zuppi (Italy) (+800)
  • Marc Ouellet (Canada) (+1000)
  • Raymond Burke (United States) (+1000)

All the top nominees are high-ranking Cardinals within the Catholic Church. After Pope Francis’s recent health scare, we could see a new Pope sooner rather than later.

Jesus’s Miracles

Jesus’s miracles are also one of the craziest things you can bet on. For this market, the winning bet will be the “miracle” that is debunked next.

BetOnline offers these odds for the next miracle to be explained by science.

• • Turning water into wine (+250)
  • Calming the storm (+400)
  • Walking on water (+400)
  • Withering the fig tree (+800)
  • Turning demons into a herd of pigs (+1200)
  • Cleansing of 10 lepers (+1600)
  • Raising of Lazarus (+2500)

For this wager, the miracle must be debunked by June 1st to count. BetOnline also allows members to request other miracles that are not included in the list above.

Scripps National Spelling Bee 2025

Rounding out my list of strange bets is the annual Scripps National Spelling Bee. The National Spelling Bee brings together the best spellers from around the country to crown one National Champion.

BetOnline offers multiple markets for this event, such as:

• • Age of the winner: over/under 12.5 years old
  • Length of the winning word: over/under 9.5 letters
  • Winner to have braces (+100)
  • Winner to wear glasses: yes (-150) or no (+110)

One of the most popular wagers for betting on the Scripps National Spelling Bee is to bet on the state of the winner. The states favored to produce this year’s winners are:

• • Texas (+150)
  • Florida (+250)
  • California (+400)
  • Kansas (+600)
  • New Jersey (+600)

BetOnline offers odds on the Spelling Bee every year. This year is the 100th anniversary of the event, and the competition is scheduled for May 27th-29th.

Financial Futures

Financial futures also make my list of the weirdest things you can bet on. Some people choose to invest in things like stocks and cryptocurrencies. Alternatively, you can bet on financial futures for a quicker return. Here’s what’s available.

Financial Modeling World Cup

The Financial Modeling World Cup pits the best financial modelers in the world against one another for a shot at exciting cash prizes. Competitors go head-to-head in Excel-based modeling events.

To win, you must model a given scenario and answer a series of questions. Contestants are judged based on the speed and accuracy of their models. The top competitors head to Las Vegas for the Microsoft Excell World Champion.

Price of Cryptocurrencies

Financial modeling is not the only way to wager on financial futures. Thanks to sites like BetOnline, you can wager on the price of popular cryptos at the end of 2025.

Some of the popular cryptos that you can wager on include:

Like traditional stocks, cryptos can be a good long-term investment. However, the price of popular cryptos can be a significant hurdle. Also, you must wait for the price to rise to cash in on your investment.

Betting on the price of crypto offers a much quicker return, and it can be a much less expensive venture.

Price of Stocks

BetOnline also offers odds on stocks and the stock market. For instance, you can wager on the price per share of the following stocks:

• • Apple over/under $240.50
  • Mastercard over/under $560.50
  • Meta Platforms over/under $620.50
  • NVIDIA over/under $115.50
  • Visa over/under $362.50

For the above wagers, you are betting on what the price per share will be at the end of the year. This is a much more affordable way to capitalize on stock gains than purchasing individual shares of stock. Also, it offers the ability to bet against certain stocks by taking the under.

These wagers will not be graded until 2025, so a lot can change between now and the time your bet crashes. Timing your wager is still important, though. NVIDIA, for instance, has decreased significantly this year, so now could be a good time to “buy the dip” and bet on the over.
