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)
  • Barack Obama (+2000)
  • Taylor Swift (+2200)

Both wagers must be graded by the end of 2026. If you feel adventurous and want to try a wager on these, you will find them at BetUS.

Sperm Racing Cup

The growing world of sperm racing is one of the most bizarre new competitions for bettors to enjoy. Thanks to BetUS, there are two exciting futures markets for the upcoming World Cup for this fertile new sport.

• Current record to be broken (-1000)
• Continent of Winner
  • Eurasia (-300)
  • North America (+200)
  • Africa (+300)
  • South America (+500)
  • Australia (+2000)

The current world record was set by a member of USC during the USC vs. UCLA meet last year. At that competition, the record for one lap of the 3,800μm track is 64 seconds.

This year’s World Cup does not have a set date, but it will offer a $100,000 prize to the winner. Athletes from 128 countries are expected to compete.

You can also wager on which continent the winner of the Sperm Racing Cup will be from. Europe and Asia are combined as one option. Given the sheer number of potential competitors, it is no surprise that Eurasia is listed as the -300 favorites.

North America has the second-best odds at 2-1, with Africa rounding out the top three at 3-1. South America (+500) and Australia (+2000) are also available in this strange betting market.

Spirit Airlines

Spirit Airlines’ long history of issues was bound to lead to bankruptcy sooner or later. Increased fuel prices as a result of the latest Iran war may be the straw that breaks Spirit Airlines’ back.

The airline is currently in bankruptcy court, but the Trump regime has publicly floated the idea of bailing out Spirit Airlines.

BetUS has the following odds for the future of Spirit Airlines

• Spirit Airlines to shut down or liquidate by May 31st, 2026 (+300)
• Will the US take a stake in Spirit Airlines by May 31st, 2026?
  • Yes (-175)
  • No (+130)

Spirit is listed at 3-1 odds to shut down or liquidate its assets before the end of May. However, the sportsbook also lists the US government as a -175 odds-on favorite to take a stake in Spirit Airlines before the end of May.

Some reports suggest the Trump administration has considered loaning up to $500 million to Spirit as a bailout. Trump himself has gone so far as to suggest the government could buy the airline outright. If you think this will happen, you can bet on it at BetUS.

Mike Vrabel & Dianna Russini

Another story that has dominated social media lately is the alleged affair between Patriots’ head coach Mike Vrabel and NFL insider Dianna Russini. Vrabel missed Day 3 of the NFL Draft, and Russini left The Athletic with two months left on her contract.

BetUS has several markets open for the next development in this candle, including:

• • NFL to open a formal investigation (+700)
  • Mike Vrabel to be disciplined by the Patriots (+500)
  • Dianna Russini to post on X before the end of 2026 (-130)
  • Vrabel or Russini to request a paternity test (+400)
  • Russini’s husband to announce their divorce before the end of 2026 (-200)

There is also a great market for the first platform to land Dianna Russini’s next interview:

• • The Dan Le Batard Show (+100)
  • Jon “Stugotz” Weiner (+250)
  • Pardon My Take (+350)
  • The Mina Kimes Show (*+500)
  • Bill Simmons (+700)
  • Always Late With Katie Nolan (+1000)

Affairs are a messy business anyway, but some have alleged that Vrabel used his relationship with Russini to tamper with Eagles’ WR AJ Brown. Brown is a trade candidate and expected to be moved after June 1st. If the allegations of tampering are true, the league could get involved and punish Vrabel and the Patriots.

Flight MH370

BetUS is also offering odds on the mysterious disappearance of Flight MH370. The Malaysia Airlines flight disappeared in March 2014 and has not been found since.

Twelve years after Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 vanished with 239 people aboard, a renewed search in the southern Indian Ocean has so far failed to locate the missing aircraft, authorities said Sunday, as families pressed for the effort to continue. https://t.co/Mxmo5g79eO

— ABC News (@ABC) March 8, 2026

Members of BetUS can wager on the wreckage of the infamous flight being found this summer.

• • Wreckage found by June 30th, 2026 (+800)

It has been more than a decade since MH370 disappeared, and there have been multiple search efforts since. It has not been found yet, but that has not stopped the multinational search efforts in Southeast Asia and the southern Indian Ocean.

The chances of finding the wreckage of the flight are low, and the window for this wager is small. On the plus side, the 8-1 odds offer a nice return on even small wagers in this current events betting market.

Insider Trading

Insider trading has long been a problem, especially among political officials. Legislators and other public figures can use their knowledge of upcoming laws and policy changes to help manage their investments and make millions.

Bovada has the following odds on the next public figure to be arrested for insider trading:

• • Nancy Pelosi (+500)
  • Donald Trump (+600)
  • Volodymyr Zelenskyy (+600)
  • Marjorie Taylor Greene (+1000)
  • Sadiq Khan (+1000)
  • Steve Wikoff (+1200)
  • Warren Buffett (+1600)
  • Pete Hegseth (+2000)
  • Benjamin Netanyahu (+2500)
  • Bill Gates (+2500)

The arrest of the above must happen in 2026 for this bet to have action.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Rep. Anna Paulina Luna says it's "statistically not possible" for Nancy Pelosi to outperform billionaire Warren Buffett in the stock market without insider information.

This market is currently limited to 2026, while Congress is under GOP control. With that in mind, it is unlikely that President Trump or any of his supporters would be arrested since they control the government.

Nancy Pelosi, on the other hand, has long been a target of Trump and his allies. Likewise, former MAGA supporters who are now at odds with Trump, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, could be easy pickings for the GOP, especially since MTG is no longer in Congress.

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.

— TMZ (@TMZ) November 19, 2025

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 2026:

• • Kanye West to be arrested in 2026 (+750)
  • Stacey Abrams to be arrested in 2026 (+1600)
  • Dave Portnoy to be in jail in 2026 (+1600)
  • Mikey Shelton to be in Jail in 2026 (+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.
