The world is full of wacky people, and sometimes they can come up with some pretty bizzare, extreme, and amusing ways to stoke the competitive flame. Take a trip around the world with us to explore The World's 12 Strangest Sports.

1. The Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake - England

This small regional event in Gloucester, England has gained international notoriety for it's high speed, intensity, and number of injuries. The rules are simple: chase the round of cheese down the hill and the first person to the bottom wins.

2. Wife Carrying - Finland

This Finnish sport gives a whole other meaning to the term "the old ball and chain". In teams of 2 (male carries the female) competitors race to see who can finish (no pun intended) an obstacle course. Dropping wife is not recommended.

3. Bo-Taoshi - Japan

Think Jenga, Capture the Flag, and Battle Royale. This Japanese sport pits 2 teams of 75 players against one another in an epic fight to bring down the other team's pole.

4. Camel Jumping - Yemen

This ancient sport has seen a rebirth as the professional camel jumpers of the Zaraniq tribe in western Yemen use their speed, strength, and explosiveness to sail over as many camels as possible. This sport is still pending PETA approval.

5. Toe Wrestling - England

Just like it's sister (and less stinky) sport arm wrestling, toe wrestling involves two opponents locking their feet and attempting to pin the other's foot down. There's no surprise that this sport was started in a pub by 4 drinking buddies.

6. Chess Boxing - International

Take a game that involves lot's of thinking and combine it with a sport that often leads to head trauma; introducing Chess Boxing! Competitors fight in alternating rounds of chess and boxing.

7. Underwater Hockey - England

Participants hold their breath as they maneuver a puck along the bottom of a pool into the opposing team's goal.

8. Man VS. Horse Marathon - Wales

This annual 22 mile race pits man against beast; and yes the horse usually wins. But out of the 35 races ever held, 2 humans have managed to outrun their 4 legged competition.

9. Shin Kicking - England

In contributing 4 sports to this list, England has proven to be a hotbed for strange sports, and Shin Kicking is no exception. Just as the name suggests, competitors face off and proceed to kick the s*** out of one another's shins and force their opponent to the ground.

10. Buzkashi - Afghanistan

Literally translated to "goat dragging" this sport is not for the faint of heart. Teams of riders attempt to drag the carcass of a dead goat to a goal. Whips are added to make things a little more nasty.

11. Quidditch - Hogwarts

While riding broomsticks teams "fly" around attempting to throw balls into the other teams hoops. Wizardry and sorcery is optional.

12. Extreme Ironing - International

Because ironing your clothes like a normal person just won't do. Touted as "the latest danger sport that combines the thrills of an extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt." Extreme Ironing is all about pushing the envelope and and having a well ironed shirt.

Is 3 to 2 or 2 to 1 blackjack better?

reddit.com - Blackjack Pays 2 to 1 - Reddit

In theory if blackjack pays 2:1, there's no house edge when using only basic strategy. No advantage play required to break even. General consensus is these casinos no longer exist, and 3:2 is best you can find. I stumbled on 2 casinos paying 2:1 on Sat night in Carson City. Fandango, and Nugget. Six decks, min bet $10, no wonging out, you can stop and take break and they will hold your seat, but you can't jump back in until next shoe. Carson City is state capitol of NV, named after pioneer Kit Carson. Its locals only kind of place and dealers immediately know you aren't local, and hit you with questions about who you are, and how long you're in town, and what you're doing. Its bad vibe almost like interrogation before you even play. The dealers will also try to pay 3:2, until you correct them, and then they act like it was accident, totally classless be aware. Also be prepared for pit manager who is rude and confrontational for no reason. The staff isn't polished, like they haven't been through training from Corp America on how to treat guests at resort. Its rough.

Any other field reports for casinos that pay 2:1?
