Betting on sports has been around for centuries and there are constantly new bettors joining in on the excitement. Over time, betting has evolved to include mobile accessibility. Most online casinos will have their own mobile betting app that punters can use and access at any time from the comfort of their own homes or even on the go.
That being said, there are so many options to choose from that it can be a little overwhelming at first. Here we present you with four of the most popular sports that people love to bet on.
1. Soccer
Soccer has become a huge sport and is popular worldwide, so it only makes sense that betting on it is just as big. Soccer betting is one of the few sports where a tie bet is allowed (this is when you place a bet on the game ending in a tie). Each payout is dependent on the likelihood of the outcome and how much you bet on that outcome.
2. Horse Racing
Horse racing was one of the leading sports to place bets on, but now it is second only to soccer. It is a giant in terms of sports betting. How sports betting works is that you have a pari-mutuel wagering system. This is when you wager against other bettors, the money will be pooled together and winnings will be given if the horse you predicted wins.
3. Rugby
Rugby is a sport that has been slowly rising in popularity in terms of sports betting. The game involves a ball that can be kicked, passed from hand to hand, or carried to the goal. Similar to soccer betting, normally punters try to place a winning bet on the most likely outcome of the match.
4. MMA
Another rising star in the sports betting world is Mixed Martial Arts. Bets are placed on which fighter is expected to win the match or, alternatively, you can bet on the most likely outcome of the fight.
Bet on your favorite
While this selection is the most popular for people, if you have another sport you love to watch and want to bet on, it most likely has a betting option already. Betting on what you love adds a layer of excitement because the stakes become slightly higher while you watch your favorite team.
