I've been wanting to ask a question to people who study different sports for a long time: what sport do you think is the most underrated in sports betting and why? Let me explain in more detail what I mean when I write about an underrated sport.
1. This may be a sport that most bookies don't pay attention to, but which you think is very promising.
2. The second point is much more important. Perhaps you think that there is a sport in which it is easier for you to make money on sports betting and other players pay little attention to this sport. Everyone bets on football, basketball, hockey and tennis. But there is a sport in which it is easier to make money. What are the features of this sport?

There are others, but it requires one to have knowledge about the sport, the rules and the equipment used during the games. Archery is a sport I enjoy betting on (I am by no means not an expert in it) for fun. It would be difficult for one with no background in it to successfully place and win a bet, except if lucky.

Simpler sports can also present better chances of winning, like Slap competitions.

All martial arts, especially mixed martial arts
Firstly, it is not as popular as other sports, such as football and basketball, and it did not receive sufficient media promotion due to the lack of sufficient support and sponsors. It has a small group of followers.

Have you ever heard about Sepak Takraw? It's  like volleyball but instead of using hands players kick a ball over a net using their feet, knees, chest or head. It's played with a small ball made of rattan. Usually there are two teams, with three players on each team. The goal is to kick the ball over the net in a way that makes it hard for the other team to kick it back. I haven't placed any bets on this sport since I don't know if there's one available to bet on.

I'd say the sport I'm interested in where a lot of people don't is Tennis and Ice Skating. I do know they're still relatively popular say compared to idk, local sports, but from my personal circle, there are not many people who are enthusiasts of the two sports.

If you really want simple ones, then I'd go for Slapping competitions, Arm wrestling, or even the strongest man competition. I'm also not sure if the woodcutting competition is separate from the strongest man but I watched a few of those long ago before. They were pretty intense and so very fun to watch really. If I were to pick which one I'd really want to see though, then the woodcutting one. It was just really satisfying seeing stuff getting destroyed lol.

Handball somehow I feel is actually underrated and this is a personal opinion because I have checked on most bookmakers and I have found that little to no attention is been given to this game and yet its a very promising game that can give gamblers the opportunity to win because within hand ball are so many events that happens in a single handball game and gamblers have got the option to predict amongst the variety of events that possibly occurs in a single hand ball game buy then it's not given much attention as it should on most sports bet casinos both online and offline.

There was a time I do see hand ball on a particular casino that allows gamblers bet on it and some one once made a good amount of money from gambling on the handball game after then it was removed from amongst available sport games on that site , it's actually a game that can get the casinos more money and also a chance for gamblers to win.

If it's underrated it also means there may have no enough people who will bet on this sport and the bookies may not also add them to their list. The bookmakers also want to make money from the bettors and if there are only a few people in this sport, they'd be better off concentrating on the sports with a bigger audience.

There are lots of exciting sports actually and fun to watch especially when it's going to be hyped every time. There are so many people watching WWE, if they are to make this a real wrestling, people will actually be betting. Unfortunately, it's just a kid's play. But there was an association that planned to make WWE a real wrestling fight. I hope they will actually do it.

I have not found a type of sport in the world of gambling that is underestimated, to be honest, currently I see almost all sports on online gambling sites being widely bet on, what is certain is that we all have different hobbies in the world of sports, I take it for granted but other people don't necessarily, maybe it's an interesting game for them.

But if you ask me personally, I will definitely answer that the sport that I often underestimate is the sport of cheek slapping, in my opinion it is the worst sport I have seen recently, whether the sport is included on a gambling site or not, The point is that it is the sport that I most underestimate and annoy, of course in my opinion this has its pros and cons, because there are also sports that are of interest to many people.

From my experience, it's probably Rugby and Aussie rules. If i'm going to make a comparison, they're a bit similar to American football. I remember having a few profitable runs with these sports before through the help of some bettors who frequently share their insights and opinions.

Upsets and unpredictable results still happen, but eventually, you'll find that consistency and know the teams to avoid. Unfortunately, i've stopped betting on them because i'm not as interested, unlike the other sports, and maybe the league has become more competitive.

This is slite hard to answer, there have been many sport that are not recognized by people because they are not quality or say qualified or even interesting to watch and people don't like them. It depends on the performance of the sport that will determine whether it's low in performance or not to the liking of others.
I have heard of sex post just ones, I don't know if the sport it interest or not but if it does it will be because of the performance that will make it known to people.

Personally yes, I'm familiar of it. However, I think it is not because it is underrated, but rather not a sport known by many countries. Underrated sports are those which are being played internationally hut are still not getting that much of interest from audiences. And I guess those are swimming, gymnastics, and the likes. These sports are fun to watch in my perspective but I do understand why many people are not into it. There's nothing wrong with the sport itself, it is just because of personal preference by majority. One example is basketball wherein it happened that basketball courts are present to almost all countries nd that is because many people are just interested to it. Same reason  I guess why there are sports which are not being offered and covered by majority of sports providers in betting industry. We just have to accept it.

this one has been on the sports betting sites already. Dana White has that slapping competition already called powerslap.com, there's been a thread about this in the forum where people somehow consider this not a sport. but as you can see they are already betting on it.

anything i guess can be a sport as long as many people are going to support it. if many would bet on this, it wouldn't be long before there will be a stateside competition and then maybe some countries will join til this sort of a game is at the Olympics. it's funny because there already is even a tournament for pillow fight sport.
i doubt it will happen in a slapping competition though.

Depending on whom you ask, some will tell you Chess is an sport, if so then I would say Chess is one of the most underestimated sports in the competitive landscape and in the betting landscape. The reason is obvious, there are not some many people interested in chess as it is not a contact sport.
And I can certainly understand, most people feel it is more exciting to see to professional boxers to punch themselves in the ring, rather than watching to men sitting down for a long time moving pieces. Though, that does not mean Chess does not have a niche market for bettors, however I don't have any doubt in my mind most casinos will have more interest and priority on offering markets for sports and matches which are much more popular and demanded by the general public.

I have never betted on Chess, and I am not a chess fan either, but I have taken a look at markets of Chess in the casinos I have seen they have been offered before. No idea whether there are better chances to make money in a easier way in those markets, compared to football or tennis, though the volume will be indeed smaller.

Slap fighting competitions.

Have you heard about it? I've seen a bunch of videos and I guess I did became part of an algorithm that's being sent with these videos about slap fight competitions. There's still a debate about it whether it's a sport or not.

But bookies are free to list any sport that they want to have right? as long as there is a demand for that sport and bettors like to cast their money and bets on it.

This is also the game that came to my mind.  They are entertaining to watch with all those acrobatic moves while trying to get the rattan ball on the other side of the net.  I don't know why this game isn't that popular and only a few know this game compared to other indoor sports.


I watch videos of this competition but I feel that it is too much for me.


Well, at least it is labeled as competition and sports betting can take advantage of this gameplay.  I read that the Nevada Athletic Commission sanctioned it as a sport

just a little trivia about the sport:

For me it's not so much the sport but rather the level of the sport.  I like to bet on college basketball and think it's much easier to bet than pro basketball.  Injuries and home court if you watch them correctly will make it much easier to bet.  Especially the injury part.  Try to find teams that are dependent on one or 2 players and if they are injured and on the road usually it's a blowout (if both teams are otherwise almost equal).

I'm new to sports betting, so I could be wrong, but I think darts is an underrated sport, and here's why: because darts is not as popular, it can lead to less active markets and higher odds. The small number of factors affecting the outcome (mostly the skill of the players) makes it easier to analyze. The variety of game formats and disciplines adds excitement and predictive capabilities. Players often score high, increasing the chances of an accurate overall prediction. The dark horse effect: there is always a chance of a feeling in darts

I consider chess a sport, because it can be played as a tournament and sort of competition, and I feel it can be easier to win in it because of what is involved. Experience can play a big role in determining who will win in a chess match because an experience chess player has a strategy that they have formed that is working for them and  will not easily fail them against a less experienced chess player.  Strategy and experience and big factors in a chess game.

In my opinion, there is not a single area of sports that escapes the supervision of the bookie, the bookie must have mastered and supervised it well. Winning and losing can happen in every match. Winning is just a matter of luck accompanied by the willingness to do research on the match. In my opinion, everything is the same and there is no difference, what makes us lose is when we bet but we don't know the match system and what the betting system is like, therefore pay attention, learn and master it.

Agreed, but sepak takraw is only popular in Asia. I think even if there were sepak takraw bets, the majority of those betting would be people from the Asian continent.
Maybe if sepak takraw is more popular in Europe and America, more people will be interested in betting. Because this is quite exciting for a sport, similar to volleyball and badminton.

You can make good money on bets where there is a good odds for a high probability. It’s hard to say about a sport which one is underrated. What I would like to point out is that where there is an opportunity to earn good money, there will be a high risk.
In general, in response to your question, I would like to mention the NBA, it is a famous sport and the most popular league, but the predictability of matches, in my opinion, is the lowest among the leading leagues. I would pay attention to this league

This could be a sport where if you know those grandmasters you can easily win when you put your money on them. Whoever is the favorite by the bookmakers is where all the bettors going to bet though. There is just no easy sport where you can easily make money.

Even when you know exactly who are the best people in sports, the bookmaker will make it hard for you to win and make easy money. For being a boxing aficionado let's say, one can only make a big win if he can predict how exactly the fight will go and how it will end. Or maybe on multibets.  

IMO, freestyle wrestling is one of the most underrated sports that goes unnoticed by most bookmakers... It's fun to watch ^{[it's not going to take a lot of your time]} and basically, the game can't end in a tie ^{[users can bet on multiple things (e.g. betting on the winner and how they might win the game)]}.

Futsal is underrated and I wonder why. I am making some bucks betting on Futsal but then you need to understand the rules governing the sport and team strength because this is a sport where odds can be so misleading and so it is important to be guided by the team strength to make predictions. This sport has fewer betting options, unlike football betting where a gambler is exposed to different options. Gamblers here should give it a try. It is worth trying.

Betting platforms are here to make money, not to embrace any sport, to be honest, they will not be interested in adding them or the odds are better for the player in a sport.

Esports is going to be the future in my opinion but it is just same as regular sport, there is no easy prediction at all, and if there is any sport it won't last longer and the state of unpredictability is the essence of gambling in general and we can't expect to have betting experience without it.

I highly doubt that there is any sport that is listed in the bookmakers and that is underestimated by the bookmakers, this is because in my opinion before the bookmakers add a game, they do a lot of research on the game and will add games that give advantage to the betting house and that makes perfect sense, if I owned a casino I would only add popular sports, sports known by everyone and that were sports with easy information so with that the casino would have many customers and have many customers means having a lot of people making mistakes and losing money, it doesn't make sense to add an unknown sport that isn't popular and because of that many people don't bet on it. Now there are some things I noticed when placing sports bets

in football, despite being the biggest sport in the world, this does not mean that all leagues in the world are good, there are many cases of leagues in Asia where you can see odds of 1.25 in favor of a team and at the end of the game that team loses the game, even cases of games with odds of 1.14 in favor of the strong team, but at the end of the game that team that was seen as favorite by the bookmakers loses. I think that bookmakers haven't been monitoring certain leagues in Asia very closely, so they put certain teams as strong and at the end of the game these teams lose, which is why I prefer to just keep placing bets on big leagues in Europe.

In my early days of sports betting, I looked for sports that were easier to predict the result, but from what I could understand over time, the easiest sport to predict the result is the sport that each person likes, and in betting shops betting has more popular sports, those that most people like. so don't believe that there is any underrated sport in the bookmakers, even sports like: Bandy, Biathlon, Cross-Country, Snooker and Waterpolo are all listed in the bookmakers, and anyone can bet on them, but even these strange games to be listed in casinos are not underestimated

Sumo.

It's a traditional and millennial sport which don't have much recognization outside Japan. Personally, I enjoy watching sumo a lot, much more than other fighting sports. I don't know if it's because it's pretty exotic, or because it has maintained its roots and culture without getting too modernized along the centuries. The fact they value honor above everything is also a big pros, because it's more unlikely you are going to have rigged and fixed competitions when compared to another sports, where this kind of practice is already common.

Moreover, it's a sport with its favorites and underdogs, like any other one. There is no safe bet, but you can predict some outcomes relatively easily, depending the athletes involved on the fight. Even for beginners it shouldn't be hard to get introduced to sumo gambling, as you can educate yourself about the competitors and their histories through Youtube videos which have top quality compared to professional documentaries.

Your question regarding sports that are underestimated in sports betting is indeed quite interesting for us to discuss, and the answer may vary depending on each individual's point of view. While there are a few sports that could be deemed useful for sports betting, "Badminton" would undoubtedly have to top this list. Although it is widely played and followed in some parts of the world, badminton tends to be overlooked on the international stage. However, badminton offers thrilling matches and intriguing betting prospects, especially during major tournaments like the Olympics or World Championships. The game of "Curling" is perhaps one of the least appreciated options for sports gambling; yet, given its tactical and complex nature, curling can appeal to bettors seeking distinctive and novel wagering avenues.

One good thing about betting on less-known sports is that the odds might not be as high as those for the better-known ones, which could give a higher opportunity for returns. Nevertheless, it is worth keeping in mind that winning in sports betting involves not only selecting the right sport but also carrying out thorough research, making accurate analysis, and taking appropriate risk control measures.
​

Horse racing, because unlike most sports pari mutuel/pool betting is available in most countries. So you can look on websites on which horse local gamblers are betting and if you think they're more  efficient or they've more informations than the bookmaker you can bet on the favorite horse they've picked.

We cant really be able to tell that its underrated because if it was then there would really be some bookies would be listing it out. We do know that these are businesses on which it would really be that impossible that they would really be missing out some sports on which they do saw that there would really be tons or lots of bettors on which means that they wont really be skipping it out.
Of course they would really be focusing into those sports on which it would really be having a demand. If you do ask me about underrated then there are tons in the list but since
they arent been listed out then which means that demand isnt really that too much which it would be understandable that they wont really be that much making some noise.

This is not a sport.
It's a show for weird people that enjoy people being hit in the face. A sport requires some skill and training, this is just a stupid thing done without any medical supervision. People can get brain damage from participating and I feel like the ones watching either underwent brain trauma or are about to just from the stupidity of the show.

When it comes to real sports I guess showjumping. It's not really popular to bet on and not many people watch it, but it requires a lot of skill to be good and competitions are very tight. IMO it's much harder than racing and you get much more accidents, so should be entertaining, but more people watch races.

This question should be answered based from the different experiences of the users in different countries. One sports may be popular in one country and not be popular in another. A bookie does what is popular in the region they operate and what will is profitable in terms of staking and not what upcoming or promising.

Nothing comes to mind. I was going to say horseracing but I do not know the sports so well. Nevertheless my readings has made me to draw the conclusion.

This is true; horse racing is one of the most popular sports in my country. In the old days, many people were entertained by this sport and got excited about the match and its result, but why is it underrated? Because not many people now know that horse racing bets are available in different online casinos, and because most of the bettors in this sport are old people, and also because in society, horse racing is becoming less popular and is disappearing, I still look at some betting sites that have horse racing, but it's rare, and I don't bet on it anymore because there's not much of a player anymore. It may be popular and a good betting game, but it's becoming more boring to me. And also, there's a law about animal cruelty, so horse racing is also becoming illegal as it makes the horses work or subject them to gambling.

I also don't agree if slapping competitions are added as a sport in casinos, even though I often watch several videos on social media but I am not interested in gambling on these competitions, and people will quickly get bored of watching these competitions and the audience will feel sorry for the players who experience the impact of a hard slap that caused brain damage.

But showjumping doesn't seem to be very popular for global scale competitions and maybe in certain areas the sport is very popular, I don't know if showjumping has been added to casinos or not but it's likely that each casino will review the level of interest from users who want to add bets on certain sports so they can make a profit from this type of sport from new bets.

I think volleyball is very underrated. It's a very entertaining sport to both play and watch and some very impressive feats are achieved in every match.

I think both the women's version as well as the men's are unique and entertaining to watch. Women's teams are always very skilled, have great physique and great skills. Often they will catch shots that you'd think were impossible to catch. Their dives are most impressive too.

Men's teams rely a lot on strength, they block a lot and the games are super fast paced. I really like watching volleyball but sadly it doesn't get much attention on TV and with sponsors. Surely for me it deserves more as it's a sport that is fast paced and entertaining, as well as being capable to showcase skills in both men's and women's teams.

The truth is that I had not seen that mother's volleyball, I love volleyball, playing it and everything, I think it is very exciting and you can bring out your best reflexes when it is played, sometimes when playing, my body reacts, I don't know instinctively when I see that the ball is going to be lost, it's like my body has its own thought, but I know why that happens to me playing volleyball, so what I do see is women's volleyball, it's really cool , I like how they're putting it up so I can Being one of the best sports, plus the girls are very beautiful, this is something that I also like to see because wow you can give yourself a good eye drop, in terms of sports, well it seems to me that it is not so underestimated, I see For me, in my personal perception, I do see cycling as a very underrated sport, because basically the tenth is a relatively strong sport, in fact for me it is the most difficult sport in the world, not just anyone can get from 4 to 6 hours pedaling, risking his life and Calculating the best of himself at those speeds that are given.

I think that the competitions of the cyclists are in accordance with what I should win, assuming that the physical effort is too much, I would say that things for this are different, for me as far as this sport is concerned I also practiced it, but I left it because my body was getting very skinny, I didn't like it, they even asked me if I was Sick, so no, but it is a sport that I consider to be one of the best in the world and the most difficult, not everyone has resistance from them, the reflection and the maneuvers that can be made, sometimes there are falls that leave them out, like in the Tour de France, the Giro d'Italia, the return to Spain, all of these are Spectacular races, which Always make a difference in the world, for That's what I say, the clcilcilistas, sport for me is very underestimated, it has almost no publicity or importance.

MMA, darts, and snooker are sports that I think don't get enough attention but have a lot of potential. It might not get as much or as much attention as basketball or other sports, but these sports offer special chances. Underrated sports are good for betting on because they offer good odds, the chance to make money, and success. The important thing is to pick games that you are good at and are interested in.

If it was easier to make money betting on a certain sport, all the sports bettors would find that niche and exploit it, so it would get saturated and it would becomes harder to make money betting on that sport. This is how capitalism works. Every opportunity for easy profits gets exploited right away. There's no magical sport, that will guarantee you easy money. It's hard to predict the outcomes of almost all popular sports. That's why they are popularized by the bookies. The big bookmakers don't accept bets for obscure and unpopular sports, because there won't be enough bettors spending money on those sports.

As a Filipino, I think it's billiards, snooker and pool would be my underrated pick because I think that it deserves the spotlight the same as basketball and we need a new legend to follow the footsteps of Efren "Bata" Reyes, this is the one sport that I think the Filipinos would be able to get even more recognized than basketball, no need for height requirement, just being really good with your eyes and control in your strikes with your cue and you're good to go plus there's already an underground or should I say a quiet but big group of billiard fans already in the country, the only thing that we need to do is to nurture it like how my country nurtures it's basketball players.

But there are still gambling sites wherein you can bet on such sport unlike with other sports mentioned by other users. Some have mentioned that as long as the game is offered by gambling providers then for sure there's a hype into it or that game is simply popular but not as widely as with others such as basketball, boxing, and football. Maybe culture plays a key role here as well as availability of the sports to be played. What I mean is establishments of such sport. For example is football in my country. There are only a few football fields in my country which makes sense why it is not as popular as with Basketball, and I think it has the same logic with gambling sites on choosing the sports they will offer; most of the time, they'd go with larger fanbase to get profit of course given that it is business they are running.
Underrated with other countries but if it is hype and popularity then for sure it does have with that country. However, betting happened to be occuring through peer to peer in most instances with billiards. The idea behind it I guess is the leagues and tournaments conducting with this sport. Leagues are most of the time are not wide scale which ai think is a factor in this example.

Bookie just follow what the demand is. I’m sure a promising sports will already have tons of supporter if they are really promising or else it’s promising feature is just your own preference.


Mobile games is probably the most easiest game which I can make money since the players skills in there is very easy to analyze due to simplicity of games. And back to the main question on what is the most underrated sports game then my answer is mobile games under e-sports category since only few casino offer mobile games betting like mobile legends.

Moreover there are many other sports that is underrated because of their performance some are based on the kind of things that they performed are not interesting or that the advertisement are poor and many people who've loved sports doesn't have an idea of the sport it will make them lose interest on it.
One other thing which makes sports interesting are the people who perform, when they are not performing perfectly people will lose interest and less I forget competitions really matters on sports, when there's no competitions the games won't be interesting.

Slap competitions are a new sporting event that started in Russia and was adopted by Dana White, I don't know why, but on one look the sport looks brutal because the recipient of the slaps has no defense, you just stand there and take the slaps, they do have mouthpiece but it can still do damage to participants, I've seen one Russian guy smashing a big watermelon with one slap on his practice, just imagine that slap coming to your cheek.

I've seen boxers getting knocked out in the ring but those knockouts we've seen in slap competitions are so different they are out before they hit the floor.
This could be an underrated sport but since Dana White is promoting this sport this could be the next big thing, lets see in the coming years where will this sports go.

I thought that UFC is huge already. Not as huge as others but there is a logical reason when you think about it.

People who are good at soccer or ice hockey, basketball and others, have been trained and supported by their parents since they were kids, so they just continue their path. As those are traditionally seen as safe, sane and healthy sports.

And Not many parents want to encourage their kids for violence, and that's how most people see UFC, violence and head trauma. Even though everyone that practices martial arts that i know are nerds, and i mean that in a good way. Parents want to keep their kids out of the fight, and majority of them doesn't really understand the whole sport. But the trash talk for tv promos and brutality doesn't really help to sell the idea as a honorable hobby or that it's safe for kids.

What comes to underrated sports, imho parkour should be huge, as it's visually very pleasing and dramatic.

I think I'm forced by my knowledge and experience about volleyball to agree with you that it's one of the most underrated sports in modern day sporting world.
Growing up as a child, volleyball was one of the most popular sports then and it was always been thought in schools in my home country so that kids can learn about it in their very young age and master the game of volleyball but how the modern day sporting world have not taken the game of volleyball serious remains a surprise to me and I think to many who knows very much about volleyball.
I've never been able to see any sporting advertisement in recent years where it is mentioned that there's volleyball world tournament just like we have football, basketball, golf, swimming and numerous track field tournaments. I don't know why the a game I personally think is one of the most entertaining sporting events is currently not talked about again like it used to be.

Yup all of that is true. And on top of that, volleyball is an accessible sport that doesn't require someone to be rich to play. Yes it requires technique but people can learn. And it's also a good inspiration for young kids because volleyball players get really athletic of they train well.

So I think volleyball has the potential to be up there with Football and basketball. We should maybe give it a boost as sports watchers.  :D

We're not just used to it but it's also a fighting sport like UFC, boxing and the other physical and contact sports.

Yeah, that's also what I've read but there's still some debates about it but that would probably give the idea for those confused people the are still into debate about it.

And that's how it is going to be massively driven into the bookies probably soon. If it's already mainstream in the US then it's likely that there will be demands for it although it's still quite too early for it.

Badminton in my opinion is a sport that is underrated by casinos even though they have bets on this type of sport but the types of bets are very limited, maybe because badminton is a sport that is dominated by certain countries and also the competition is not too tight so the odds on favorite players are very small because you can be sure that the players the favorite will win and advance to the final.
I can understand why there are sports that are underrated by casinos because they need profit and that is obtained when there are bets on well-known sports such as football, basketball, tennis, and several others because there will be many bettors who bet on these sports, especially as there is a lot of competition in this sport and also the competition is quite tight, making bettors even more tempted to continue betting.

I myself have several types of sports that I don't really like or only consider as worthless sports, table tennis, chess, and also various types of athletic sports are part of what I never participate in.
Never mind betting on some of these sports, just watching them I feel like I don't have the slightest interest and it just the type of sport that is most avoided.

What you are right is, most sports betting fans prefer types of sports that are played with high performance or full of adrenaline such as MMA, Boxing, UFC and also football and other popular types of sports.
All of this is clearly due to interest and if there is not the slightest interest then will never be able to take part in any competitions in sports that don't like.
Everyone has their own preferences and of course this is different choice, although the percentage is still greater for sports that are quite popular in each region.

It was one of the national sports in our country. It was not that popular because when I was studying then, there were only a few students who joined the Sepak takraw club and they always won when competing in division championships in different schools. If you look at it, it is rarely reported or featured on social media and even in the national television and news, so I think there are only a few players. Actually, it's also a good sport, but I haven't seen any of these games that other people bet on, especially here in our area.

MMA will never become as popular as football or basketball and there are many reasons for that:
1. MMA fight can end in some seconds. Imagine, you bought a ticket, flew over cities, countries and now have the opportunity to watch the fight in live, fight starts and in some seconds fighter gets knocked out and the match is over. Isn't that very disappointing? While in Football match is guaranteed to last for at least 90 minutes and in Basketball, average NBA game will last about 2.5 hours. You also have to keep in mind the area. Area for UFC fights is very small as well as Octagon itself and when you are in last rows, you simply can't watch the game while in Football and Basketball, the area for people is enormously huge and even in the last rows you can still watch a game.

Haven't you had sex in your entire life as an adult you ought to know if it's interesting or not  because whether you are a professional or not you must have had it being a human with flesh and blood running through your veins. But in my own perspective I don't just understand how people decides to draw  that as a sport, a bedroom activity.

If I have to pick an underrated yet boring sport I will say it's golf. Like it has less crowd, less fans/viewers and participants of interest as it's often believed to be a sport game only to the rich which they play at their leisure. But frankly speaking, golf could be so boring a game to watch compared to many other field sports games.

I'd go as far as to say that golf is actually overrated. The viewership is not very high and overall there's a lot of elitism in this sport as it's very hard and expensive to actually train for it. You need a field by yourself which is very hard to maintain and consequently the costs are very expensive. For how low the viewership for golf is, it still has huge rewards for competitions. There's so many tournaments that have a pot of $20 million, which is crazy for a single person sport. I guess though big sponsors like to be associated by a sport that is surrounded by rich audiences so I can't blame them to much. To me it's better for them to fund ANY sport rather than fund wars for example.

I still think that F1 is not getting the attention it deserves. I get that it's wagered a bit, and I get that it is not too much "betting" when we are talking about stuff like Max winning almost all races and all that, but at the same time it is going to be fun to decide on other stuff, those still matter.

Like who would make a podium is usually unknown, we have seen Checo miss the podium so many times, and we have seen so many different cars, from Mercedes to Aston to McLaren to Ferrari, many cars made it to podium last season, and if you knew that, you would do fine. This is why I still think that there could be a lot more betting going on with that sprot and yet when I look at it there isn't really that much attention. Plus NFL as well, that doesn't get all too much attention in crypto world, it is a major sports in the USA.

What is the most underrated sport? for me is badminton I don't know but I rarely see it or I am wrong because the popular games basketball soccer cricket is everywhere. But I rarely see Badminton.

My country win badminton so many times tho is just regional but still i want to see badminton on sport section in the site

There is no aspect of gambling without its risks and I do not believe that when a gambler has taken his time to study a team, he will still not be able to make some well-informed predictions that will often be true in terms of the outcome. I believe that just like football, all other aspects of sports betting are the same when it comes to winning probability, only that we are not paying attention to them or not just conversant with them. As we all know, opinion might not be the priority for companies because gambling companies are offering games based on popularity, they will not want to be wasting their time and resources on the games that are least prioritised/patronised by gamblers.

Irrespective of that though, Badminton is a very good one for me. It is such that is so unpopular with bookies, and if it is added, I think I can have a better shot with it.

For the average man his perspective about golf would be that it's too overrated while for the elitist class it is one of the most underrated sports that is played without stress and not much stamina is needed to make a good player. It is due to its expensive nature that the average person in the society doesn't see a need to relate with the sport.

Take for instance rugby, I have heard persons refer to it as an overrated sport by the Americans but for an American rugby deserves the hype as it's a renowned sport in their society than even the football we mostly talk about. It is in same vein by class perspective the elitist sees golf as underrated and therefore sponsor/fund it to the fullest whereas the average person in the lower class will think it's a waste of sponsorship on a game that is boring and sucks. ;D

This is not to say am an elite though I aspire to be in that upper class of few men in the future

IMO, there are no underrated sport in sports betting because the odds and frequency of a specific sport/match every single will purely depend on the number of audience, the number of bettors and volume of bets a specific sport are receiving.
Sports with not enough bettors will probably not going to have open betting lines in most of the sports betting platform.
So, If we had a hard time find our favourite sport in most of the online betting platform, that only means one thing, there are not enough bettors for the bookies to open a line in the first place.

Sure, I mostly agree with the stuff you have said. I also consider chess to be a sport and a very competitive and difficult one, however whether it is a sport would depend on whom you ask. I believe just because Chess can be played in a competitive context and there are chess tournaments are not enough factors for it to be a sport, it is one because of the strategic nature of it and it's long tradition through existence. It we could classify an activity as sport just because it can be competitive and the existence of tournaments for it, then contest of eating hamburgers and pies would be also considered sports (I am sure people even bet on those).  :P

Sports imply effort, either physical or mental effort and there is where Chess comes in. One must think a low for becoming a successful player of Chess. In the same way someone is also supposed to think much to become a successful MOBA player, besides the team working and communication skills to coordinate with ones mates. It is one of the reasons it is enjoyable to watch MOBA tournaments.

The only sports which I think it's easier to make money from through betting is wresting, like the WWE, DYNAMITE, TNT and so on, but unfortunately, bookies don't list this form of sports because most believe that the games are completely rigged, and that the outcome of every game is always predetermined.

If wresting was made available for betting by bookies, I believe this would have been one sports which gamblers would have easily be winning, as most times, even before a game starts, it's very easy to know and guess right who the winner will be, but this would have also been to the detriment of the bookie since, every time a gambler wins, the bookie loses.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_6d3JBBo4s <-- I wish we had more of this marvellous sport. To bad it isnt popular not only abroad, but in country of origin also. Hard it can be found aired on TV, not to mention nobody wants to add this to sports betting. Most important, it does not need much to play it, train, no specific field or inventory are needed.

1. I think you might be missing one fact where some sports don't have regular competitions or seasonal matches. Sports like billiards and chess are some of the examples where competition is likely in the form of short-term events, unlike other sports where it takes a whole year long to complete a season. That's one of the reasons why you don't see some sports always listed on bookies regularly but rather only during the time the event is opened of course.

2. There are no sports where it's easier to make money. Even how professional and knowledgeable a person is in that sport, to make money, will depend on chosen odds, yes being the best bettor as possible as it is. It might be easy to pick what team has more chances to win but what about the odds provided on it?

Maybe chess, because it doesn't seem like it's a recognized sport, or if it's a sport, there don't seem to be many people who bet here, just gamblers, in my opinion. Then I don't see it in casinos either, or maybe I just overlooked it.

The only things that I often see that gamblers always bet on are football, soccer, billiards, and basketball. Archery can also be an underrated sport because I rarely see it in sports betting games.

For me, bowling is an underappreciated indoor sport. It's both fun and competitive, but it's also under appreciated. A wide variety of bets can be placed in this sports hall and different combinations are available for betting lovers. The scoring system, variations within the game is one of the optimum sports for betting. However, it is worth noting that I do not think there is a sport that is not valued enough for betting. Every sport is important for bettors and almost all sports are open for betting as they are all systems created on making money.

I once created a thread about one sport that is not yet popular and it's also not available in popular sports betting sites.
Here it is.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5401084.0
World Chase Tag Discussion
Sadly, as I said it's not that popular yet and I don't know if it's going to be.
I watched this and I remembered my childhood playing tag with my friends. Our rules were actually stricter because we needed to hold the chased person for 3 seconds before we could say he was imprisoned.

Anyway, I was hoping they would add that someday but I had thought about the rigging that could happen. Sports that ain't popular are prone to cheating and I would not like to lose money just because of that. But since it is televised and being live feed to social media too, I think they will have a hard time doing those bad things. Who knows.

How about Bowling? I think it's one of the underrated sports and I don't see a thread here in the forum about that too. There are fewer fans on that game but it's actually fun when you are the one playing.

What about local betting? Is it available? This sports exist in our country too but I don't hear a bookie that supports it. Maybe for now, we can only ask our friends, classmates, family members, co-workers, etc... if they want to gamble with us using this sports and since it was like a friendly betting, not only money can get involved but it can also be food, doing their chore or school assignments, and for some they will hurt the other physically but not in a brutal way of course.

Sepak Takraw must be a kind of local sport so I don't think mainstream online sports betting sites will support them but it's a very cool sport and this is why it was underrated.

The most underappreciated sports betting sport? Table tennis. You heard me right. Though unknown to most, its a goldmine for the knowledgeable. Why? Those that do their study benefit from the sport's high match turnover and volume of events. While football and basketball are more popular, table tennis offers more betting chances and, if you're smart, more predictable outcomes.

Casual bettors have less knowledge due to widespread neglect, but attentive bettors do not. Focusing on player form and past matchups helps me spot mispriced odds. Sportsbooks sometimes get it wrong, especially with peripheral sports. For those willing to work hard, table tennis offers an opportunity.

In fact, there are a lot of underrated sports. Many of these sports have something about them that prevents them from being widely popular. It has already been written here that, for example, fights without rules will never become as popular as football due to the small size of the arena where the fights take place and the possibility that the match could end in a few seconds. But I would also name those sports that require a different element, so to speak. For example, water sports. Rowing and water polo will also never be able to compete with football. Just like water polo.

Chess is definitely underrated. I keep an eye on them and even for events such as the world title match, not all bookmakers provide quotes. If we talk about ordinary tournaments (if we make an analogy, these are tournaments at the Champions League level in football), then there are either no quotes or they are available in murky marginal bookmakers in which there is no desire to deposit money.

Maybe among gamblers, chess is a sport that is not much in demand, but if I talk about it as a whole, I can say that we cannot underestimate chess. Because there are still many people who like chess, even though compared to football it won't be comparable.

But I want to talk more about this. Chess is a brain sport that requires us to use our brains quickly. I know the names of several professional chess players such as Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura for example. They are rivals in the world of chess, and some time ago we even saw Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi having a photo session in front of a piece on a chess board, and it was suspected that this was the same position of the pieces during Carlsen and Nakamura's match. Yes, in the world of chess, the competition between these two people is compared to that of the two football players Ronaldo and Messi. I personally still like to play chess on my cellphone, occasionally to fill my free time.

I've gotta say table tennis is an underrated sport for betting. It flies under the radar for most bookies and bettors, but it's a goldmine if you know what you're doing.

With ping-pong it's all about the frequency of matches. These guys have tournaments like we have coffee breaks, giving you loads of opportunities to catch patterns, player forms, and make smarter bets. Plus, it's not swamped with casual betting money, so the odds can be more in your favor if you're clued in.

Even though i prefer football, i've had way better results with ping-pong betting.

Totally agree with you. Ping pong offers numerous betting opportunities thanks to the large number of matches.
And Handball is a fast-paced action and high-scoring games that can be very attractive for bets.
I would also add to this list Badminton, its offers numerous betting opportunities during international competitions.
Or also Water Polo, as a dynamic and complex sport.

Casinos and football remained the top games when it involves popularity and significant odds. We have games that are mainly for gambling and they are absolutely passing all phases of gambling. We have different sections of sports and they're vastly scattered round the system. Talking about underrated sports? Chess ought to be among those underrated sports, wait a minute. Is chess even classified as sport? Rather its more like a recreational activity for me and enabling it for gambling doesn't easily work except physical with your opponent. 

This is going to be based on contemplations and it would varies to say it depends on individuals perspectives on how the sport games is being virtualized in real life.

Sport bets has to be played and enjoyed by the viewers as much as it can attract the audience to be fans of it and this has to do with it the sport game is being interesting.

Most especially, sport games that does not have structures to attract the audience to crowdy arguements such as games without the structures of team players in the field games such as table tennis games is usually ignored and bored for a large number of people to say ... They are fans to so so teams based on their teams formations.
So I don't think if most people would bet on table tennis due to this fact that during then the game is being played, it is usually a game of one on one instead of teaming.

Lets understand that the rate of inclined games to be adopted while betting is also considered based on what is mostly enjoyed.

Maybe I'm wrong, but in my view chess can not be considered as the sport especially after the case when  the world beater has lose a competition with AI. Sport is more about physical activity rather than mental one. However I agree, that chess is underrated in betting.

As to the sport itself.  I think it depends on athletic discipline and their  popularity in  countries where folks are betting. For instance, opposite to Yankee Doodleб   Nipponese would likely bet  at the time of karate or sumo tournaments than  gridiron football.

Yes, there are a few games that can be a term of bet or investment. I can mention here 2 games a. Chess Boards, and b. Wrestling. I love both of the games. Chess Board is the most popular game all over the world. This game grew up in India. Some researchers said that the chessboard grew in China but it was modified in Europe. I think it will be the most favorite betting game. On the other hand, Wrestling is another popular game all over the world. If people are most pleased to watch this game. Also, Wrestling will be the most beneficial game for the betting world.

What can you say about handball? I also think that water sports in general are underrated. Competitions in kayaks, canoeing, rowing. Despite the fact that these sports have a certain entertainment value, they are not so popular with bookmakers. Regarding the chess mentioned above, I think that not only chess is underrated, but all board games in general. For example, classic checkers and hundred-square checkers, as well as the game Go. Among ball games, I consider volleyball to be the most underrated sport.

By the way, thinking about chess, I also remembered the game Go - it is very popular in Asia, tens of millions of people play it or follow the top events in this sport. And if you compare it even with underrated chess, it is even more underrated. Maybe I didn’t pay attention, but I didn’t see quotes for Go games from any bookmaker. Probably this market (if it exists at all) belongs entirely to local bookmakers in Asia.

Table tennis is, in my opinion, an underestimated sport. Table tennis is an often-overlooked sport, yet it is plenty of action and entertaining to watch. It's also a sport that's reasonably simple to grasp, making it an excellent choice for beginning bettors. Table tennis is a lively and unpredictable activity, making it an attractive alternative for gamblers. And because it is less popular than other sports, there may be some nice value bets available. Mixed martial arts (MMA) is another sport that might be regarded underestimated in sports betting. MMA is a relatively young sport that is still gaining recognition. But there are certain distinctive qualities which make it appealing to gamblers. For example, there are several betting markets for MMA, including bets on particular rounds as well as particular results such as defeats and knockouts. This enables more imaginative and smart wagering than can be done in certain other sports. And, because MMA is still expanding, there may be some attractive possibilities for value bets.

There are many sports that are not given much attention even though they present great opportunity for gamblers and are easier to win than events that have many participants. One sports I love so much is basket ball and I don't think many people play it in sports betting. It is pretty easy to win, the options are many with reasonable odds. I think people stay out of it because it requires sound knowledge to bet and not many people know the rules and requirements. I also noticed that many people do not have the resources for analyzing past matches as not many websites have good stats of the sporting event. Anyone who happens to understand basket ball very well will win betting regularly.

I think that it's a bit off hand to compare them with the popularity of football. While you're right that those sports are underrated but I think that people are starting to see its significance and they're considered now as a sport instead of being an outdoor activity.

Board games are also underrated just as the mentioned of likes such as chess. These sports have came from being a hobby and just some activity and now turning into accepted sports and that's why they're considered underrated.

The time will come that these sports will gain more popularity and will be even recognized by bookies upon seeing the demand from it but as you've said, I agree that they might not come close to the likes of football.

I came here exactly for this. Bookies offer odds for gamblers like us but I guess the popularity still depends on where you are from and who the audience are. I thin it's popular among adults and to teenagers but to a lesser extent. It's not for the kids viewing since the set up or the event is usually held on bar-type places where you see people drinking.

A great coincidence to me because I've just seen some good darts game on the web. I think it's true that it is an underrated sport and even though I don't play it at all, the entertainment that it provides to its watchers, fans and not is great. At the same time, it's the same with archery. These sports aren't popular as the others but they've got a huge potential once these sports have grown a lot. This time, people are into physical and contact sports and that's why the odds are better there as there's more demand and more fans that are into it. Of course the bookies won't just get into the underrated ones that even they keep on pitching the matches but there are no bettors, they'd just stop it. Unlike the popular ones, even if there's no marketing or broadcast, the bettors and fans are going to flock on them because they're desirable sports that has a huge following globally.

I would probably agree with you here.  I've just recently become aware of slap fighting and how it all works.  Man, there are some crazy mofos who participate in this sport.  Not only do I find the men's competitions interesting, but also women's slap fighting.  I personally would have no interest in ever doing this myself, but it sure is a lot of fun to watch!

A lot of them are not important so i am still wondering why does sports are initiated look at dog race and many more i don't even know why they started it it in the first place and people bet heavily so maybe that is why they are still given value to it. For people in my country to is basketball and football. And I think is the same for other countries to mostly football and basketball. And the sports are what people are familiar with, so people will bet sports they are use too. And some people are just use to betting carelessly. Because games need a lot of concentration and you also have to know how to do analysis. And you have to use past matches. And you also need to know the capacity of each club and that way you will able to predict with those records. And gambling is easy if you know the right steps to take. Then you will succeed.

Trust me really fun to watch, especially if you are the type that enjoy a little touch of violence 😁😁 and like you I also just recently discovered this interesting sport and believe me I have grown so found of it although I have really stake on it in any casino before but I think I have seen it displayed in one or two casino I do my betting and this is because am just after the wonders to how is it that people actually slap each other for a living, I mean it's fucking crazy man.

I believe that the sport that is easiest to make money in is the one that you know deeply or more than most other bettors.
And there is one more factor... there is no point in having a sport with high chances of winning if there is little demand for betting on it.

I'm currently enjoying betting on Formula E... not that it's something very "different", but it's a sport that few people really know about, many of those who bet on it are out of curiosity.

Some snooker tournaments also offer good earning opportunities for those who enjoy this sport and follow some important tournaments.

(1) I think the approach is different for the issue of betting, I don't understand when you say "it's very promising", a sport is promising when its odds are @2 but we know that an odds of @1.2 is the real one, this is not It is about feelings, it is about knowledge.

(2) It is a belief to think that soccer is one of the sports where there is the most betting, yes, but globally, when you go by region this is not the case, for example India, it is cricket.

So, the sport where it is easiest to win is the one where the odds projection is met according to my expectations.

Believe me, when you have a clear betting strategy, sports take a backseat.

I see nothing new or surprising here since people box each other faces for money and even wrestle. It's actually entertaining especially during our childhood days but for now I don't have much interest in any games that are physically brutal. I can still relate how we practice wrestling among ourselves after we finish watching it, these things have negative impact in our society. It would be more crazy when you are being asked what you do for a living and you say slapping  ;D betting on them would be much easier to predict and perhaps, that's why some bookies exclude such games in their sites.
