Hey, so I’ve been digging into the betting options lately, especially since climbing season is heating up, and I’m kind of stumped. I mean, I love throwing some cash down on the IFSC comps—bouldering, lead, speed, you name it—but I feel like I’m not getting the full picture here. Are there some hidden perks or rewards for us climbing nuts that I’m just not seeing? I’ve been checking out the usual sportsbooks, and yeah, they’ve got the basics covered, but it’s all pretty standard. Like, you get your odds, place your bet, and that’s it. Nothing that screams “hey, we know you’re obsessed with watching people dyno up a wall.”
I’m not new to betting—been at it for a while now, mostly on climbing because it’s my thing. I track the athletes, follow the circuits, even nerd out on training vids to get a sense of who’s peaking. But when it comes to the betting side, I’m starting to wonder if I’m missing out on something juicier. You know how some sites roll out the red carpet for the big football or basketball bettors? Fancy bonuses, exclusive offers, that kind of stuff. I’d figure with climbing getting more popular—Olympics boost and all—there’d be a little more love for us. Maybe some tiered rewards for sticking with it, or a bonus for betting on a full comp weekend. Heck, even a breakdown of stats or climber form built into the platform would be cool.
I’ve poked around the settings and promo pages on a few sites, but it’s either buried deep or just not there. Am I crazy for thinking there should be more? Or is climbing still too niche for them to care? I’d love to hear if anyone’s found a spot that actually treats climbing bets like they’re worth something extra. Maybe I’m just not looking in the right places, or maybe we need to nudge the mods here to push for it. Imagine a section just for climbing odds, or a way to cash in points from consistent bets—nothing wild, just something to make it feel less like I’m shouting into the void. What do you all think? Am I off the wall here, or is this something we should bring up louder?
