"All BetBash attendees are invited to attend the Miss Grand USA Bikini Contest Tonight at 830pm at Stadium Swim."
Great news as all attendees had blue balls at this point. Well, that's the perception we got reading Twitter (X) anyway.
Bet Bash organizer Gadoon "Spanky" Kyrollos pulled off another successful Bet Bash event in Las Vegas this week.
Bet Bash brings together sports betting aficionados from across the globe.
But somehow the female population didn't seem to get the memo.
After Spanky posted a photo from the event on Twitter with the caption "THIS is Bet Bash", the commenters weren't all kind.
"Worst marketing ever! You couldn't pay me to sit in this homo-hall-Speed-dating setup. WTF"
"Not a single female is crazy"
"Looks like speed dating....for men"
"Why are there no women anywhere? Doesn't Kalshi claim that more and more women are trading and betting?"
The Kalshi comment is intriguing. That prediction market hasn't necessarily claimed there is this surge of women betting on sports. Instead, they've suggested that entertainment markets, specifically, are bringing in more female users than its traditional markets.
Bet Bash is still mostly all about sports betting exclusively, though certainly one of the main topics of conversation would be the rise of prediction markets.
The lack of diversity when it comes to sports betting events like this has been brought up in recent years, but that's hardly a reflection of Bet Bash. Instead, it's a reflection of the sports betting manosphere.
Only 22 percent of women consider themselves to be sports gamblers. Most, we suspect, are going to lean towards the recreational side of the equation.
Regardless, our friend Spanky saved the best for last.
Those complaining about there being not a single female in the room got a real treat with a bikini contest (and, no, Spooky Express did not step out in his thong).
Actually, is that Marc G. in a bikini? Just playing.
