@dittoup getting 7 right, well bloody deserved man!

More luck than deserved hah. Could easily been half the points of what I got but in the end I managed to sort them in a optimal order.

NFL with only 1.7% was a real shocker. Lets see if the SB team choose to have some more focus around NFL in 2022 to get up the volume on this huge market.

Thanks to Steve and SB for a great year with many good promos and fun competitions, may this year be just as fun as the last one!

Sometimes we always want to say it's about luck and the most modest people always say it's about luck but I think we all put our thinking caps on and made our decisions based on what we thought we knew.

I totally spoilt the picks by making Cricket a heavy at the top and once you make a wrong decision up there, everything else below goes into the wrong position

Enjoy the freebets!!!

Was gutted yesterday, Arsenal really deserved something from that game. Man City get all the luck & all the controversial VAR decisions go their way. If we (LFC) don’t beat Chelsea today then our title challenge is over. We can go for the cups we’re involved in. Would be beautiful if we beat Man City in the CL Final

I think that you are right,if you don't win tonight than most likely Manchester City is way to far already and the chances for Liverpool to fight for the title will be very slim.I also think that if the game tonight ends in a draw I am afraid that both Chelsea and Liverpool are out of the title fight.If that happens most likely both Liverpool and Chelsea focus will completely shift to the Champions League.

^^ Well. That was that then. Our boy in goal is great but I wish Alisson had been available tonight. Mane and Salah did their job, though I think Jota should have been kept on, Ox's touch is just not good enough, we would have had one runaway counter if Jota had been left on the field. Either way, great game for the neutrals. Huffed and puffed and Citeh ends up as the winner of this weekend.

Shouldn't give up still. Would love to get City to join Liverpool as the only teams not to win after topping table at Christmas. Hope Pep goes on that strike he threatens and derails his squad heh.

Oh well. Cup glories, right LFC_Bitcoin?

A draw is probably the right result brother. Our high defensive line infuriates me at times. Seriously just go 10 yards deeper & get the midfield to protect our CB’s.
2-0 up on 41 minutes & going into HT at 2-2 is not good enough.

We can win the CL because we have special players. We’re just not consistent enough over a 38 game season, frustrating.

Oh well, we move on. Let’s get a good result in the league cup midweek.

A very disappointing end of match after having lead of 0 - 2 then ends in 2 - 2 now Manchester City is having 10 points gape from second spot holder Chelsea and Liverpool can take this place as they have one match in hand with next match is also very important for these both teams as Manchester City is going to face Chelsea on 15th January. Now we have two matches in the next few days, first against Arsenal for EFL Cup and then against Shrewsbury at home for FA Cup. Now next match in Premier League is against Brentford on 11th January.

I honestly couldn't imagine NFL being so low not only because it is big, but it is from USA and they have such a huge betting situation there as well with people earning on average more than anyone else in the world. Sure you may not be super rich in USA if you are making 40k a year, you are probably barely surviving on 40k a year, but that is HUGE amount of money in most other nations, so that is why I assumed NFL would get more than other games.

In any case, it was definitely a fun little thing, glad that I got a free bet, I am hoping to see a lot more of these stats in the future as well, it is great to have insight on what sportsbet.io is getting, amounts would be awesome too to be fair, like how much was wagered total in 2021 would be awesome to learn.

I would say there is some element of luck obviously there is no denying that, however, you managed to get 7 rights and nobody else did that. So, I would say that you had a bigger deserved win than anyone else for sure considering how weird it all turned out to be. I mean table tennis at 6th? NFL at 8th? These are some of the most weird results I have ever seen, who could have guessed that Table Tennis would be above NFL, seriously? All in all I feel like you deserved it, and then some, kudos for such an amazing insight.

I do agree that NFL needs some more promotions, SB definitely either lacks it, or they just do not see it as profitable? Maybe both, I do not know but I am sure that there are so many people that would be willing to spend money on those, considering how much "famously" NFL commercials take, it is nearly more than what sportsbet.io pays for being the main sponsors of Southampton, so I have no idea how they can get into it, but it would be great for sure.

I was also really surprised by the very small percentage that NFL was at. My guess is that it might be a regional thing - NFL betting is definitely the most popular in the USA, which is a restricted region. I'd imagine that European and Asian customers are much less likely to care about American Football, so they wouldn't know how it works and thus wouldn't bet on it.

Table tennis being up there does make a lot of sense if you think about it. When COVID first hit, pretty much the only thing you could bet on for a few months was table tennis, so it would have attracted a lot of players. Even now, it seems like there's always some random table tennis matches happening at every hour of the day, making it great for those who want to place many bets.

Maybe it is also something to do with the actual market. NFL is only played in USA but if you included American football as a whole maybe it would have a bigger share,,, or maybe NFL is the only big American football market? I was just thinking because baseball and basketball for example was named as sports not just NBA or MLB. Now I am wondering why baseball made it big outside USA but American football did not,,,

Though you are right that of course the main betting people on it cannot even access Sportsbet, which makes total sense to think about for this contest.

There's CFL (Canada) and there is/was XFL (iirc it's been paused due to COVID and still hasn't resumed). I would be very surprised if either of these had a noticable impact on American Football's total turnover. American Football seems to be only played in NA. Baseball, while not as popular, does seem to be played outside of NA. For example, Japan has at least 1 baseball league that you can bet on. I don't think those markets would drive volume but it would probably make more bettors familiar with the sport.

edit: also NCAA which might have a decent amount of volume but still less than NFL

Yeah, I mean I love the fact we can swarm opponents in their own half, even in their own box, and there's nothing more satisfying than seeing panic in their eyes every time even on the ball, but once the rhythm is gone, and everyone is back to normal levels and they're breathing, then we have to protect our CBs and keeper.

It's not funny that we're the 4th worst team in the league for allowing high quality chances on goal. The fact we're still keeping a good defence is a miracle but if we allow teams great chances, we must expect them to score if they're a top 10 team.

You're right, we've got to move on.

On the bright side, we'red 3/1 underdogs to beat Arsenal in Carabao... easy triple bankroll right?

NFL is the only one, all of the others are useless and usually not even watched. How many people see them? NFL does get a lot of betting but unfortunately it is in a short span of time and that is the main reason. When you have things that go for 52 weeks and things that happen only for like 4-5 months then the difference is clear. For example I was shocked to see there were no F1 in all of top 10, it takes a long time as well, they start in spring and end in December so I assumed it would have a lot of betting as well but that didn't happen.

So, you need to have something that has both a good amount of betting, but you also have to get something like a big calendar as well, you can't have just one and not the other one. I still think that soccer is enough profit for most casinos to actually be profitable, it is THAT huge, we haven't seen the amounts but I feel like it must be gigantic. It had 43.5% so nearly half of ALL betting all by itself.

[notblox1]

Oh my Gosh, Manchester United seems to be falling apart, they lost todays match against average Wolves and they are both so close on table with only three point difference.
They now have 18 points less than first place City rival, and that must hurt a lot

On the bright side, we'red 3/1 underdogs to beat Arsenal in Carabao... easy triple bankroll right?

I think that Liverpool will be missing many first team players and they will rest others, so I would give much more chances to Arsenal to win this time.

That is a pretty interesting graphic, and at first blush I too was surprised that the NFL wasn't more popular.  But once all things are considered I think that the NFL's lack of popularity at Sportsbet.io is lack of intersection opportunities.  Sportsbet.io doesn't do business in the US where the NFL is most popular, and as a sport American Football hasn't been very popular internationally.

It's also worth noting that American NFL fans aren't accustomed to betting on football, or any sports really.  Sports betting has been taboo in the US for so long, and for decades it's been legal in only a few jurisdictions, nationwide.  The fact that it was illegal made it difficult for people to get involved, and even more so before the internet.  Things are starting to change, there are sportsbook apps advertising during NFL broadcasts now.  Even thought it's only legal in a few states currently, more are likely to legalize it in the coming years.

I forgot Canada also plays most of the sports in USA But indeed,,, even counting Canadian betting I guess it would not be enough to push out all the other sports.

I do know there is a lot of betting in football though,,, just perhaps they did not choose to make it on Sportsbet.io even this forum seems to have a few threads related and I know the other sportsbook on crypto always have NFL promos.

Japanese people are big on baseball (also Koreans according to my experience) but not sure if they bet on it.

@DireWolfM14 I know online betting is hard to be legal in USA (according to people) but I always find them betting in crypto anyway Maybe they just do not know yet about it?

Saints appear to have new owners:

"Southampton confirm takeover involving Serb magnate Dragan Solak"

source: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/jan/04/southampton-takeover-serb-media-magnate-dragan-solak

Southampton have confirmed a takeover under which the Serb media magnate Dragan Solak has become a major investor in the Premier League club.

Solak, founder of the telecoms company United Group, is the leading investor of Sport Republic, which has bought Gao Jisheng’s 80% stake in Southampton and also involves the former Brentford executive Rasmus Ankersen, who co-founded the company.

AFCON gettting some love from Sportsbet and my favourite type of tourney special is up (Outright bet, every win gives a free chip in a game) and the kicker is, a hattrick and win in any match gives you 0.5mbtc cash.

Senegal was always going to be my pick, betting outright on them ever since the Japan/Korean World Cup haha. To my surprise, they're actually the book favourites!
