You can find most anything you can dream of to bet money on polymarket, except "pro bass fishing".

That tells you how non relevant fishing is to most the people on the planet.

every entry fee is a gamble you will win.....and MLF has a fantasy betting contest with several thousand entries each tourny.....

Well put! I'm not aware of any bookie taking bets on Fishing. Guess it's hard to gamble on guys gambling.

Donating is the proper term when I enter tournaments.

They should have prop bets on how many pros credit cards get declined at tournaments

My fishing buddy could start a fire with all the dollar bills he has in his boat glove compartment. Most of the time it's a dollar bet to keep it fun between us.

Lol

No one would book fishing….too much cheating going on.

Where's Pete Rose when you need him?!?!

this best thing to bet on in bass fishing is when the next cheater gets caught.

I wish fishing was more boring to the planet. Unfortunately all of my fishing spots always seem to have a ton of people.

Agreed, I learned several years ago if you enter enough tournaments eventually fate will smile at you.

You take that back...

I don't no about all over the state but since covi hit Texas along with the FFS fishing has really taken a hit . It seems like no one are doing very well . Has TP&W let us down ? or has fishing pressure taking a toll .?

Can anyone tell me the over / under on MLF closing doors after next season?




Kidding! I really like all the formats and anglers in all series.

FFS has definitely killed fishing.


…..for those that don’t understand it, that is.

I think the issue is far more about the difficulty of handicapping fishing than the relevance of the sport. I mean people bet on hot dog eating contests!

OK, gambling on bass fishing….New league with new rules, the anglers have zero entry fee and in return they place their own bets on how they will place. If they think they will win, they bet as much as they want. They bet a lot and win, they get a lot of $$. They don’t place a very high bet and win, they don’t get much money.

Is it completely stupid? Works in my head, probably not in the real world.

I'd prefer that the other sports were like fishing. Where the interest is participatory rather than spectator. In which case there would not be betting markets. We idolize athletes way too much.
