[Star Wars] What would've happened if Obi Wan had heeded the words of the council and not trained Anakin?

I'm sure this has been asked before.. Would they have just given him to a nice family somewhere allowing some sith lord to come along and get a new apprentice? Would he grow up and marry a nice girl on some moisture farm?

He would have been given the option to join one of the Jedi Service Corps (probably the Exploration Corps.) Or he could have gone wherever on his own. He was free, he could have gone wherever he wanted. He had friends in Naboo's Royal house. He could make a living fixing junked droid in Corusant's lower levels. He could have became a professional podracer. The galaxy was his oyster!

In truth though, he would have received some kind of warrior training no matter what. Darth Sidious knew where he was, he could have gone AWOL with some rogue Jedi he met, or any number of things would have happened. Anakin's conception was basically the Force's answer to Darth Plagueis's meddling, and an attempt to balance itself out. The was the Will of the Force that Anakin receive the training he needed to bring the Force into balance. Which is probably why the council allowed him to be trained in the first place.
