Alright, folks, let’s cut the crap. I’ve been lurking around this forum for a while now, and it’s driving me up the wall that there’s still no proper section for sailing betting stats. Seriously, what’s the holdup? You’ve got slots, poker, football, even bloody esports clogging up the threads, but nothing for those of us who actually care about the wind, the waves, and the odds on a decent regatta. It’s a disgrace.
I’m not here to mess around with generic suggestions—this isn’t about adding some flashy new banner or fixing a glitch. This is about giving sailing bettors a space to breathe. The America’s Cup is heating up, the Vendée Globe is always a wild ride, and don’t get me started on the Olympic qualifiers. There’s real money to be made if you know how to read the form, the weather patterns, and the skippers’ track records. But good luck finding any of that here without digging through a pile of irrelevant nonsense first.
We need a dedicated spot for this. Somewhere I can post about how Team New Zealand’s latest boat design is going to shred the competition or why that French guy’s solo circumnavigation odds are a complete joke. And no, I don’t want to scroll past ten posts about roulette strategies to get there. Give us tables, give us past race breakdowns, give us something we can actually use to make smarter bets instead of guessing like a bunch of landlubbers. Half the time, I’m stuck trawling X or some obscure sailing blog just to piece together what’s what. Why should I have to leave the forum for that?
And don’t tell me “there’s not enough interest.” I’ve seen the same five degenerates arguing about blackjack odds for months—sailing’s got a bigger crowd than you think. People are betting on it, they’re watching it, they just don’t have anywhere decent to talk about it. Fix this already. It’s not rocket science, it’s a damn forum section. Get it done before the next big race hits and I lose my mind trying to discuss it in some generic “other sports” thread. Ridiculous.
