Out of all the things people talk about weather is by far one of the most sought out topics to either use as small chat or discussion openers. People are constantly baffled about the change in weather as if they have never seen rain or snow, almost as if they have come out of the rainforest for the first time and are seeing a new world. The weather is always changing and often at times is unpredictable, which makes it a great source for gambling in modern day society.

To make a wager on the weather you need to do this based off a time period where the weather forecast is unlikely to make a full prediction. Choose a friend to gamble with and pick a time period such as a week later to determine the temperatures, precipitation, humidity, sunrise and sunset periods, as well as what days a storm may come. You can choose all of these categories separately to bet on or do them all at once to make it more complicated, putting about $5-10 for each category. Do this at least one week beforehand putting all your wagers into writing and then tally up the results the following week and see who wins. The results are always exciting, fresh, and satisfy that gambling hunger people often get.

Knowing Your Odds

To make an educated decision on weather betting, you need to keep up with weather reports from the news such as the Weather Channel to get a glimpse at the jet stream patterns affecting the entire nation and further look into local weather reports to see how it will affect your weather locally. It is best to also look into the weather history of your given area both locally and domestically to see what has typically been the average temperature, rainfall and barometric pressure during a certain period. Putting these pieces together and finding the mean for all of them will help you guess what the weather pattern will be like.

However, you also need to take into consideration the overall climate change that is occurring in certain areas. For Canadians, take a look and see whether the weather in Nova Scotia has been different due to melting glaciers or if the climate in Quebec or Vancouver is changing due to local production and pollution. All of these are important factors that might lead to an increase in temperature or rainfall on a given day.

Specific Weather Phenomena Gambling

One thing to gamble on in regards to seasonality is different weather patterns. At the beginning of the summer, for example, you can bet on how many thunderstorms will occur, how many days of rainfall per a certain amount, how many different tornadoes will hit the Vancouver area, and how many people will die from lightning. Some of these are nobler than others and we do not suggest you take joy in betting on the amount of people struck by lightning in Canada throughout 2015, but they are examples of how you can be creative and take your gambling to the next level.

Alternatively, you could bet on the amount of shooting stars you and a friend see over a 1-hour period while taking it easy on a given night or look at the sky and bet how many clouds come by or how many planes you expect to see in the sky weather permitting.

All of these wagers are personal wagers that can be done with friends in a light-heart manner that do not require any signup fees or online credit information. Make use of having nature as your gambling field and enjoy what the weather has to offer for you wagering pleasure.
