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.

JD Vance’s 4th Child

Vice President JD Vance started 2026 by announcing that he and his wife, Usha, are expecting their fourth child. Thanks to the updated celebrity betting markets at BetUS, you can wager on several odd bets for Vance’s fourth child, including:

• • The baby’s name
  • The baby’s birth weight
  • The birth method

Charles and Donald are tied for the best odds to be Vance’s next kid’s name at +2000 each. Christian (+2200), Lincoln (+2500), and Peter (+2800) round out the top five betting options. Or, instead of betting on a specific name, you can bet on the first letter being A-M (-120) or N-Z (-120).

All of the name options are boys’ names, and for good reason. According to the official announcement, the baby is expected to be a boy. To make these markets even more bizarre, they only have action if Vance’s fourth child is a boy.

You can also wager on the baby’s birth weight, with the over/under set at 8.0 pounds. There are markets for the birth method, too, with a natural birth (+100) list as a slight underdog to a c-section (-140).

The 2026 Patriot Games

President Donald Trump recently announced the Patriot Games as part of the Freedom 250 initiative. Some believe this is a distraction effort, but either way, the even should happen this year.

There is not much known about the games so far. However, according to the President, two high school athletes from each state and territory will compete in a four-day athletic event.

BetOnline is offering odds on which states the winners of the Men’s and Women’s divisions will be from.

You can bet on all 50 states and multiple US territories, but the top favorites in each division are:

States such as California and Texas, which have large populations and a reputation for producing high school athletes, have inherent advantages in this bizarre betting market.

Greenland’s Future

Greenland has been the subject of international tensions since Donald Trump was sworn in last January. BetUS is offering odds on the most important aspects of the future of Greenland, including which American sport will establish a team in the country first.

BetUS is offering these odds on the first league to establish a team in Greenland:

• • NHL (-150)
  • NFL (+250)
  • MLB (+300)
  • NBA (+800)

The NHL is the -150 favorite to establish a team first, and the cold-weather sport would fit with the weather in Greenland. Next are the NFL (+250) and MLB (+300), both outdoor sports, which could struggle to play in cold weather. The NBA rounds out the odds at +800.

Establishing a team in Greenland would be challenging for any major sport. Travel would be a major concern, as is local interest. Still, if you believe one of the major leagues will make a breakthrough, you can bet on it at BetUS.

Earthquakes and Megaquakes

You can also wager on major events, including earthquakes and megaquakes. BetUS has odds on these earth-shaking events in 2026.

• • Will there be a megaquake by March 31st, 2026? (Yes +500)
  • Will there be a megaquake by June 30th, 2026? ( Yes +160/ No -240)
  • Earthquake 9.0 or above in 2026 (Yes +1000)
  • Earthquake 10.0 or above in 2026 (Yes +1600)

Megaquakes, or earthquakes of 8.5 magnitude or higher, are rare, often occurring decades apart. There was an 8.8 magnitude quake in Russia last year, but that does not mean there cannot be a megaquake this year. The South China Sea experienced a 7.1 magnitude quake in February.

Japan issued a megaquake warning in December of last year. The megaquake never came, but that does not mean it will never show up.

There is only one option currently for betting against a megaquake at BetUS. You can take the “no” option on there being a megaquake before June 30th, 2026, at -240 odds. Let’s hope that’s the winning outcome for this one!

Kim Kardashian’s Bar Exam

The Kardashian family has been a major player in pop culture for decades, and they just refuse to go away. There have been many weird bets on the famous family over the years, but this one is among the most bizarre.

Lately, Kim Kardashian’s quest to become a lawyer has fascinated fans and haters alike. Her father, Robert Kardashian, was a famous lawyer who made a name for himself by helping O.J. Simpson get acquitted.

After years of studying and preparation, Kim announced that she failed the California Bar Exam last year. Cali’s exam is notoriously challenging to pass.

Bovada has the following market for Kim’s continued efforts to pass the Bar in the Golden State: Will Kim Kardashian pass the bar exam by May 3rd?

• • Yes (+600)
  • No (-1200)

The short timeline for this bizarre wager leaves Kim little time to pass the test. So, it is not surprising that the “no” option is listed as a -1200 favorite. Kim’s supporters, on the other hand, can bet on the Kardashian passing the test at 6-1 odds.

FBI Top 10 Most Wanted List

BetUS also has unique bets available, including wagers regarding the FBI’s most wanted list.

Any fugitive from the FBI Top 10 Most Wanted list captured by June 2026:

• • Yes (-350)
  • No (+225)

#BREAKING 🚨 Olympian turned drug kingpin Ryan Wedding — currently on the FBI's top 10 most wanted list — has been accused of ordering the murder of a witness.

The list is fluid, and you can view an updated Top 10 Most Wanted ranking on the FBI’s website. Two members of the list, Ryan Wedding and Cindy Rodrigues Singh, were recently captured. For the yes option in this wager to cash at -350 odds, any other fugitive in the Top 10 must be captured by June 2026.

The FBI looks nationwide for the criminals on the list, and tips are submitted from across the country. Successful tips could lead to cash rewards, so there is plenty of incentive for others to turn in the wanted fugitives.

Betting on this market could help you cash in on their efforts. There is also “no” option available at +225 odds if you do not think another member of the Top 10 will be caught by next summer.

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.
