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.

Next Talk Show to Be Suspended or Canceled

Jimmy Kimmel’s comments surrounding the Charlie Kirk shooting angered the White House, and the comedian’s late-night talk show was briefly canceled. After pushback from subscribers, including thousands canceling their subscriptions and costing the company billions, Disney brought Kimmel’s show back.

Kimmel is safe for now, but other late-night shows are at risk of being canceled or suspended. BetOnline lists the following odds for the next talk show to be suspended or canceled:

• • The Tonight Show (Jimmy Fallon) (+100)
  • The Daily Show (John Stewart) (+400)
  • Last Week Tonight (John Oliver) (+500)
  • Late Night (Seth Myers) (+700)
  • Watch What Happens Live (Andy Cohen) (+1000)
  • The Howard Stern Show (Howard Stern) (+1200)
  • Saturday Night Live (+2000)

For this wager to cash, a show must be canceled or suspended in 2025, so that’s an important detail.

Grand Theft Auto 6

Grand Theft Auto 6 has been one of the most highly-anticipated video games of the last decade. Unfortunately, the pressure to live up to expectations and other development issues have caused the game to be delayed several times. Recent reports suggest that GTA 6 could be delayed again.

The long wait for GTA 6 has been much maligned by the internet and created several memes. Bettors can also bet on GTA 6 in various ways.

NEW GTA 6 LEAKED INFO:

The game is planned for release in May 2026, but internal discussions hint at a possible delay to September 2026.

It will be available in three editions: Standard ($69.99), Deluxe ($89.99) which includes early access to GTA Online, and Premium… pic.twitter.com/vBaSguNFyf

Bovada offers this prop on the release date of GTA 6:

• GTA 6 released first (-3500)
• Aliens confirmed to exist first (+900)

For reference, Bovada lists the odds of a living extraterrestrial to be found on Earth in 2025 at +6000 odds. While the GTA 6 release is a heavy favorite to come first, it is not guaranteed. At 9-1 odds, the confirmation of alien life has an implied win probability of 10%.

Another option for betting on GTA 6 is this wager from BetUS: Will a new GTA 6 Trailer be released in 2025?

• Yes (-125)
• No (-115)

The game’s current release date is May 26th, 2026. Rockstar has released two trailers so far for the long-awaited game. A new trailer could give fans something to talk about and distract them from yet another delay.

Taylor Swift’s Wedding

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement this summer, and numerous markets are available for the upcoming wedding of the two stars.

Some of the Swift-Kelce prop bets available for the upcoming wedding include:

• • Taylor Swift’s Maid of Honor
  • Travis Kelce’s Best Man
  • Swift-Kelce wedding date: Before or after July 4th, 2026
  • Swift and Kelce’s wedding song
  • Location of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding

Jason Kelce is a heavy -1800 favorite to be his brother’s best man. Swift, on the other hand, is favored to pick Abigail Anderson Lucier (+100) as her Maid of Honor. Karlie Kloss and Selena Gomez are tied for second at 5-1 each.

The wedding date itself has not been announced yet, and before or after July 4th are both listed at -120.

Oddsmakers at BetOnline have “You’re Still the One” by Shania Twain as the 5-1 favorite to be Swift and Kelce’s wedding song. They also have the couple favored to tie the knot in Tennessee (+250).

The Enhanced Games

The Enhanced Games seek to find the true limits of human performance by allowing athletes to use doctor-approved performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). Organizers have had to overcome several hurdles, but, barring another setback, the first-ever Enhanced Games will finally take place in 2026.

BetUS offers multiple markets for the inaugural Enhanced Games, such as:

• • Which athletes will compete?
  • How many world records will be broken?
  • What events will take place?

The current events for the 2026 Enhanced Games include four swimming events, three track and field races, and two weightlifting competitions. However, there is plenty of time between now and next spring to add more events and participants to this one-of-a-kind sporting venture.

Next Owner of OnlyFans

The announcement that the controversial social media platform OnlyFans could be sold soon has generated a lot of buzz about the potential new owners. Thanks to Bovada, you can wager on the next owner of the platform.

OnlyFans was valued at $8 billion, so only a few investor groups have the capital to buy the site. Bovada lists the following groups as the favorites to purchase the platform.

• • Forest Road Company (-125)
  • Any other group including Conor McGregor (+650)
  • Apollo Global Management (+950)
  • Binance (+1000)
  • KKR & Co (+1200)
  • Public Offering (IPO) (+1200)

Longshots for this wager include Meta (+1800), Mark Cuban (+2800), and Elon Musk (+3500).

Forest Road Company is the favorite, and it is easy to see why. The investment group has spent years aggressively acquiring entertainment, media, real estate, and other businesses.

For this wager to have action, the sale must be completed by the end of 2025.

Price of the Pope’s Motorcycle at Auction

Auctions are another bizarre futures market for bettors looking to add variety to their betting slips. Betting on the Pope is another popular, albeit odd, way to spend your bankroll.

This strange bet from BetUS merges two novel betting markets into one. A motorcycle signed by Pope Leo XIV will be auctioned off in October by Sotheby’s.

BetUS lists the following odds for the price the Pope’s motorcycle is auctioned for:

• • Over $200,000 (-120)
  • Under $200,000 (-120)

The bike itself is a custom-designed BMW R 18 Transcontinental, heavily inspired by the famous Popemobile. Proceeds from the auction will benefit a charity that supports children in Madagascar.

Pope Leo XIV’s autographed bike will be auctioned on October 18th. In addition to the Pope’s signature, the bike also features the Vatican coat of arms.

Next Celebrities to Be Arrested

Celebrity exploits are another way to wager on novelty betting lines. One of the weirdest ways to bet on celebrity futures is to wager on the next celeb to be arrested or jailed.

BetUS has these odds for celebs battling the legal system in 2025:

• • Kanye West to be arrested in 2025 (+750)
  • Stacey Abrams to be arrested in 2025 (+1600)
  • Dave Portnoy to be in jail in 2025 (+1600)
  • Mikey Shelton to be in Jail in 2025 (+1400)

Kanye has had his fair share of legal issues over the years, including multiple arrests since 2008. His recent problems include a sexual assault and battery lawsuit brought against West by a former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, in 2024.

Other public figures, such as Stacey Abrams and Dave Portnoy, are also available to bet on. Mikey Shelton is not as well-known as the other options in these markets, but the crypto trader has been accused of insider trading.
