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.

Pablo Picasso’s Missing Painting

The Louvre robbery made headlines, but thieves do not need to break into the world’s most famous art museum to steal the works of world-renowned artists. Pablo Picasso’s “Nature Morte à la Guitare” was also stolen recently while traveling to Madrid.

BetOnline offers the following odds on whether “Nature Morte à la Guitare” will be found in 2025:

• Yes (+300)
• No (-500)

The missing painting, which is roughly the size of a postcard, was traveling with over 50 other works when it was stolen in early October. Despite its small size, the missing painting is estimated to be worth half a million dollars.

With such a hefty price tag, the rightful owners are sure to pull out all the stops to find the Picasso painting. However, there are only two months left in 2025 for this bet to hit, so time is against the “yes” option at 3-1 odds.

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.

NBA Gambling Scandals

The latest betting scandal to rock the NBA involved Terry Rozier and Hall of Famer Chauncy Billups. BetUS has several markets for the outcome of the schedule, including:

• Who will receive the longer sentence for illegal gambling: Chauncy Billups (-200) or Terry Rozier (+150)
• Any other current NBA player or coach to be arrested by the FBI (+100)

There are wagers available on specific players and personnel, too. You can bet on guys like Malik Beasley, Kevin Garnett, Michael Porter Jr., Allen Iverson, Paul Pierce, and many more current and retired NBA players for various reason.

Malik Beasley was previously investigated for point shaving. Michael Porter Jr., on the other hand, is the brother of Jontay Porter, who was banned for life for violating the NBA’s gambling policies.

Several Hall of Famers, including Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley, have not been shy about their love of gambling. If they strayed outside of legal options, like Billups allegedly did, they could be the next ones investigated by the FBI.

Tilly Norwood’s Future

Celebrity futures are popular with entertainment bettors. Thanks to the latest advancements in AI, computer-generated celebrities are also rising in popularity.

Tilly Norwood is one such example. The AI actress was created by Xicoia and has drawn significant criticism from film reviewers and actors alike.

BetUS offers multiple futures markets for Norwood, such as:

• Mentioned in Nikki Glaser’s opening Golden Globes monologue (-250)
• Featured on the front cover of Time Magazine (-150)
• Appear in a Super Bowl 60 commercial (+200)
• To act in a movie that grosses $100+ million (+700)
• Listed in TIME 100 Most Influential People (+800)

The AI actress is favored to be mentioned in the Golden Globes opening monologue and to appear on the cover of Time Magazine.

Appearing in high-profile spots could help the controversial character advance her career and make it easier to earn commercial and movie roles. New markets on Norwood’s future exploits could open, too, as her star power continues to grow.

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.
