During a live stream, Xposed turned a $20,000 bet into $363,971 by accurately guessing that 11 cars would pass through a traffic light in Watertown, Massachusetts, before it turned red. This win occurred on a new betting game called “CCTV: Rush Hour,” created by 155.io and available on Roobet, which utilizes real-world CCTV footage instead of random number generators. Players bet on the number of cars passing through a detection zone in licensed camera feeds, with rounds lasting under 55 seconds. Xposed described the game as a “new addiction” and “definitive.” The article also highlights other unusual gambling opportunities worldwide, including Wife-Carrying, bets on the next Pope, and even predictions on celebrity deaths (though profiting from the latter is illegal in the US). The UK also hosts unique betting sports like bog snorkeling and cheese rolling.
