Horse racing gamblers not betting on horses?! Unheard-of! Let me take you to see the world~

Did you know that gamblers at the racecourse are not actually betting on horses, but on hats? I just learned about it today, and it's truly happening in the UK! Queen Elizabeth II has a great passion for horses, having started riding at the age of 6. Over the years, she has braved all weather conditions to attend events like the Epsom Derby and the Royal Ascot. This passion led to a quirky trend at horse racing events, where people place bets on the color of the Queen's hat rather than on the horses. Upon learning about this, Kelly, in collaboration with the gambling company Paddy Power's CEO, devised a "little trick" to provide a transparent betting platform for gamblers, adding more excitement. It's worth mentioning how thoughtful they were; Kelly and the gambling company's CEO agreed on the final deadline for placing bets to prevent cheating. They also intentionally created a smokescreen by displaying hats commonly worn at horse racing events in Buckingham Palace, keeping people guessing the color of the Queen's hat until the last moment. I must say, this betting scenario has piqued my interest!

However, these alternative gambling projects require a prerequisite: credibility.
