What is the most underrated sport?

[Julien_Olynpic]

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.

[Su-asa]

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.

Slap fighting competitions. Have you heard about it?

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

There's still a debate about it whether it's a sport or not.

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:

Who invented the slap sport?
Slap fighting, or slap boxing, is thought to have originated in Russia in the Sarychev Power Expo and annual Slap Championships, but it made its way into mainstream sports in the US by 2022.

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.
