On which Sports do you like to bet apart from the listed one here?

[Saint-loup]

Football is the correct term for what you call "soccer". In fact, I doubt anyone here even recognizes that word other than Americans.

I would gladly bet on any sport as long as I get good odds and understand a minimum amount about that sport and the history of the players involved. You do not need to be a genius to research a players past history of wins/losses. Thats universal for any sport.

As far as to your question of specifically which sport which is not listed here that I would love to bet on:

Asian martial art/other fighting styles which are not that prominent in western society. Sumo, for example.  In Japan, Sumo is a big thing and gets bet on all the time.

No it's wrong, as we've already talked about in this thread, only bets on 4 sports are allowed at Japan actually, and Sumo wrestling is not one of them. Japan bettors do it clandestinely, but it's not very popular since it's a very closed sport with a very special culture and mindset, and matches are often fixed unfortunately. That's why there is no big bookmaker providing bets on this sport.
Regarding soccer, most of bookmakers and bettors use this word instead of football when they talk about soccer, because american football(NFL) is very popular among punters, and is the common word used to refer to this sport in the gambling world.

I sometimes bet on football sports betting. But it's not very often because I don't know much about each club or team. And I mostly place sports bets based on the clubs or teams I know. But the result of that bet is that I lose more often than I win. But I have also experienced victory and it feels really exciting even though the winning money is not much.

But in this forum, I see several sports, such as sports and basketball, are often discussed. Perhaps, many people make these two sports their favorite.

[aioc]

I will not bet on sports that I don't understand because that would be a high risk, so I prefer to bet on football even though I don't fully know many of the clubs I bet on but at least I like this sport and don't want to try sports that I have never You know, after all, many like football betting on this forum and like to discuss football clubs on the forum.

Same to me I have a good chance if the sports I'm betting on is the one I'm familiar with like MMA and boxing these two sports are the one I followed and subscribed to on their respective pages.
The other sports that I like to add to OP's list are baseball and table tennis they are specific to countries mostly Europe and the US.
Casinos will not include these sports if they don't have regular bettors but football and boxing are two of the most popular.

I don't really bet on other sports than football, the only sport that am interested in is just football, am not really interested in any other sports, maybe it's because of the country that am from, football has the highest percentage of people watch or participating in it, other sports which you listed, just few percent of people are interested in it. Like cricket which you mentioned, I haven't seen anywhere that it's been played in my country, but football is everywhere that's why people bet on football more than other sports.

^Probably because of which country you are in.
In my country football or soccer is not that very common, it is basketball and other sports.
So the selection of OP varies on which country we are in because people here are in different countries so possible we don't have the same answers. I like to add NBA but I think we have already an NBA thread here on gambling discussion.

[Sandra_hakeem]

I don't know why I'm usually very comfortable with this particular sports, soccer.... It comes with a different passion and ecstasy.., it comes with every possible revival and it kinda unites alot globally, so I'll still stick to it.
I tend to understand soccer more than any other games (even though I've played everyother possible games,..) the understanding is just about placing bets on which team wins in particular. I cannot really predict games like ice hockey,....why should I??

[livingfree]

Yeah, I agree that those are popular. I'm mostly into boxing and basketball and sometimes jumps into other sporting events. I'd like to get into F1 racing and that's one of the most talked sports as well.

Mentioning also the other ones that I know like Chess and Bowling but they're like underrated sports that mostly can be found only on a few bookies.

Also, beach volleyball is the type of sport that guys would like to watch at all times.

I think you are right, the country you are will determine the sport that people really participate in, and it will determine the sport with people will always bet on, if you are a gambler in my country and you bet on NBA, then you are betting blindly, it will be difficult for you to see places where you will watch NBA matches, unlike when you are talking about football in my country, everywhere you go, you will be able to watch football matches, even local gambling shops, you will be able to watch football.

[coin-investor]

I'm not a bettor on sports that I'm not familiar with but I once bet on table tennis because of my friend's recommendation, some of the sports listed on casinos have consistent followers but they are not the popular discussion here in the gambling section, Dota is another I have a friend who likes to bet on Dota because he is a gamer, I guess as long as there are patrons on particular sports in sports betting the casinos will retain it.

Recently I came across a few articles on the Internet while trying to understand what makes sports betting so lucrative. I now know that there are three big sports that every Gambler, Sports Enthusiast, and a lot of fans are engaged in Sports betting. I personally have not seen or realized it but a good majority of teens & preteens are already into it.

I hope everyone would agree with this list:

• Soccer
• NBA
• Cricket
• UFC

This list is not based on betting revenue or based on the number of fans. It is simply compiled by me after watching the activity on this board for different games thread. I am aware that I did not add Tennis, MMA and Boxing as my question is about those sports that are not being discussed here but you do bet on it either occasionally or on a regular basis.

Kinda odd how you didn't include eSports, it has its own mega thread here and is plenty active during tournament seasons,. Most especially Dota 2 and CS:GO afaik.

I usually watch football on my freetime, but never really bet on it competitively, maybe every now and then. Was recently into volleyball due to Yuji Nishida, mans a beast and couldn't help but watch more of him. Idk if it has a competitive scene or even considered a sport in the world in general, but I've also been watching more of Kyudo (Japanese archery)

[Reatim]

You forgot to indicate at least Boxing ?
 well maybe those are just my favorite and following for long and I also believe
 that the conversation here is healthy about those sports games.

but yeah Soccer and Cricket are the most active thread together with the NBA.

so my answer is Boxing mate.

Like what he said mate that he relies about how he evaluate the forum topics and conversation about games and those are the listed who comes first but like what you said? I also favor about eSports because I am also a fun of this , because as a Gamer before and now a gambler , I can tell that the eSports industry is truly increasing year after year and there are so much update going on as this was the young generation gambling (i am not degrading Oldschool games) but this is the trend coming in the years to come.

[Supreemo]

aside from Soccer (football), UFC, and NBA, i also love to bet sometimes on e-sports or other online sports since i've been playing computer games. the only thing I disliked about NBA and Football is that, it takes a long time to know about the results either you win or lose, coz sometimes i also prefer betting and just leave it there without watching the games due to some chores i need to do.

[danherbias07]

Table Tennis.
It got my attention when I saw how fast it can be profitable for a gambler. I don't know much about the players, especially in the Russia Liga Pro but I do like making long parlays for the favorites. Sometimes, I hit x20 - x30 depending on how many games are available.
But it's not like it's an assured bet, most of the time they are just blind bets and I am just trying my luck if I could hit a jackpot while trying to increase my VIP status.
The same with what I do with Tennis in WTA and ATP. I win here a lot of times as the favorites do likely win their games in high probability.

[el kaka22]

Formula 1 obviously. That is the thing I follow the most and I am very fond of, and it is one that you could easily bet on as well. Not really that common for people to wager on it a lot, considering even the biggest events there do not get too much betting, and the fact that Max is ahead of everyone most of the time, people just do not see the point, either you bet on Max to win and get a bad return not worthy of a bet, or you lose if Max loses, or you risk a lot by betting on someone else which very rarely ever happens.

However, it's good because I like watching it, and having a bet on it makes watching it a lot better, just like most other sports.

[Kakmakr]

I like to also bet on Rugby ...simply because I know a lot about the Sport.. and let's not forget about eSport, which is one of the most underrated Sports in gambling at the moment. 

I also like to bet on Table Tennis, because I love the Sport and the energy that goes into it.... for me it is a little bit faster than normal Tennis, so I can bet on a lot of games. 

I hope more Sports can be added, but I think most Bookies and casinos are focusing on the sport with the most viewers.

Apart from football, I am interested in betting on F1 and MotoGP, because in my opinion these two sports are quite popular and have many fans. And because I also love F1 and MotoGP, so I thought there's nothing wrong with betting on these two sports.

[Plaguedeath]

and let's not forget about eSport, which is one of the most underrated Sports in gambling at the moment. 

Yeah it's underrated sports in gambling, but it's not underrated for the current society where many people are trying to spend most of their times just to mastering the game and become a pro player or streamer to make money.

Old bettors still think esport isn't a sport because there's no physically involved and you're only sit down for a whole day. But I'm sure many people will want to bet on an esport, sometime the odds is good and upset have higher chance to happen.

This is not on the list maybe OP is not a gamer and maybe focus more on traditional game but personally I also want to place a bet here.
I'm a gamer, watching the games live is exciting as well. This is not underrated sports, its just that the attention is not that high and you might be a player as well so you can understand the game and you can know where to place a bet, you can also saw a lot of bettors online making their own analysis on where to place a bet, Esports should be included on the list.

Soccer is the most popular betting sports in my location. People prefer betting on football than any other sports because it is a popular game in my country. But immediately the European League ends and there are no longer matches, other sports betting will start getting the attention of gamblers. I have seen people bet on horse racing, basketball and ruby because there are no longer football games. Apart from sports people bet who will win elections and even awards. I have not bet on any other sports apart from football because of my interest. But I might consider betting in boxing in the nearest future.

yes, almost all people like betting on football sports everywhere and I'm not too familiar with other sports and the players so to bet on other sports I have to do more research, I don't really like sports betting that I don't understand and prefer betting on sports that are just understand, moreover, many users on this forum are football lovers, so I'm happy to discuss that so that it becomes my reference for betting
