In Japan, AFAIK, Sumo Wrestling is like the national sport but as you've said OP there are some other sports that they like, and based on what I've researched, it is baseball that's next to its popularity. And as for betting, they've got their own places to gamble and they're only for the licensed operators to bet with. But maybe there are crypto folks there that also have access to the crypto online casinos to bet on the other sports that they like to bet on.
I didn't have to google to find out that football is the most widespread sport in the world. Of course, basketball is also very popular. In my opinion, cricket, due to the fact that it is the most popular sport in the country with the most people in the world (India), is also watched by a huge number of people.
However, it is about which sport the most people bet on and in this competition, football is the first place, and then for a long long nothing..
I too do not have to Google search it, I know exactly that football is the most recognized sport in the world, it has been what we did argued during my secondary schools days, that was the reason I googled search it to just show how football is the commonest. However, it is about which sport the most people bet on and in this competition, football is the first place, and then for a long long nothing..
Even in my area, if talking about sport, relating it to betting, people prefer to go for football than any other ones. Even if talking about watching sport, the only viewing centers in my country are for only football, that is why the time when playing top soccers leagues do come with shouts in many streets after a club score.
Of course it follows that people would be betting on the sports that they know best, and the sports that they know best are definitely the sports that are the country's most popular. So for a country where football is the most popular, people would be betting on football matches.
I am not deviating from this tendency, although I also want to appreciate other sports that are not very popular in my country. The more sports there are in a country, the better.

Its probably basketball that is the most popular around the world. You can ask every kid you see today, most of them would want to be on NBA. But his right, I don't play football but I'm also betting on football matches relying on the odds and some speculations of users.
It is not about doubt, football is the most common sport in the world. You can check this three different sites, I just searched using google search engine: Note: I am not advising you to use google search engine because of scam ads

It's really strange I don't see ITALY with National Sport "Soccer" (Football) in this list.
It's something easy
. I think this sport is able to collect likewise 90% of total income / mainstream attention.
Other important sports (related to betting/tv shows) are: F1 Racing, Motor racing (Moto GP).

Unfortunately here in our country, the Philippines, our national sports is not even the most talked-about sport here. We are being influenced too much by basketball since then although we are only dominating South East Asia in this sport. I don't know why we still love playing basketball despite the height disadvantages in global competition.
Boxing, billiards, and volleyball are also some of the sports that are mostly being patronized here. In boxing, there's no doubt we can compete with the most popular and big names unlike in basketball. The same goes for the sports of Billiards.

You nailed the reality in PH sports.
The government is not even focusing on improving the sports where we are truly good. Basketball is overhyped here and I admit I'm one of those crazy people who love sports. I'm too focused on basketball that I didn't realize that Sepak Takraw is not the National sport of the country now for over a decade now. Damn, I'm ashamed lol. The National Sports here is Arnis since 2009. Believe me, some of the PH users here don't also know that lol.
Basketball and billiards are really my favorite sports here and in fact, I can say I'm good at that sports during my prime.
I played Sepak Takraw during my high school days but it ended there. Called "Sipa" when playing outside using a bolt washer combined with a plastic wrapper (supposed to be a wooden ball) which is known to kids during the 90s, I don't see kids playing that nowadays.
The last issue that I had seen in the news was about the weight lifting sport that was also not supported well after Hidilyn Diaz won the gold in Tokyo 2020.
Boxing though is where I think we are really good at. They should put more funds in that industry.
I think football is still the most popular sport to bet on worldwide. By the way, I had expected and also thought that Ice Hockey would be a well-known sport in America and maybe even be in 2nd place behind basketball?

Mexican national sport is one of the most interesting and the most macho of all. Same with Canada, ice skating alone is already fun but they made a lot more by adding a sport with a goal.
For the PH I have never seen an instance of gambling with our national sport. Heck, if I were to be asked what sport would be where people most bet on, it wouldn't even be basketball or the like, I'd go for cockfighting (which was recently banned, so it might be changed really but the norm is like that here imo). Famous sports as others have said would be basketball though.
Basketball and billiards are really my favorite sports here and in fact, I can say I'm good at that sports during my prime.
I've been in love with billiards recently after I watched clips of the Magician (Efren) lately. Man, I'm still dumbfounded how this hasn't really been in the media like basketball or the like. I know the sports isn't for everyone but man, at least give it some coverage that's worth his reputation at least. I guess that's Rugby? I'm not sure if it's just a typo or the name of the sports is actually Ruby.
Yea it's probably Rugby. Oddly enough I looked at OP's source and Rugby wasn't even in India's national sport (Correct me if I'm wrong though). India had this instead Quote
India Field Hockey (DeFacto) (Otherwise Undeclared) Cricket, badminton, kabaddi
~snip~
What is Ruby though? I have never heard of that sport or game. It wasnt in the list of your source either(byjus). Football has very high viewership in India as well and in most of asian countries. That's one of the reasons why there are early kick offs in European leagues. To facilitate Asian viewership. Since, the market is that huge.
I guess that's Rugby? I'm not sure if it's just a typo or the name of the sports is actually Ruby.
Rugby is basically the same as the american football minus all the padding and all sorts of head and body protection, I'm not sure if they're actually wearing a mouth guard lol.
It's like a free for all running wresting lol. This sport is like for the toughest guy.
Although my country is not stated or covered in this study, but I find it very interesting. It is interesting because I have always thought that soccer is the is the most dominating sports in almost all the countries of the world except in the US, India and few others. In my country soccer is everything and the major sports bet platform. I have never heard or seen any gambler staking on any sports apart from football. And the European league is the most popular. That why betting companies in my country make more money during this the European football league season.
The country one lives, the national sport, or the most popular sport influences the type of game one would bet on. In the country where I come from, football is the most popular sport. It is, therefore, easy to see young people betting on football matches. It is widely discussed and people more knowledgeable about it than any other sports. Even though we have other sports like basketball, table tennis, and boxing young folks prefer to bet on football than on other games. Have you noticed this? Have you ever deviated from this norm?
All I have noticed among gamblers in my country is that football is very common, even than others type of gambling like casinos, even people I know betting outside of their home through an agent which is also common in my country, people prefer to bet football through an agent, the second type of bet common through an agent are virtual matches like vitual EPL and virtual UCL seasons which are still football related and easy to play. I am not talking about national league because I do not think that is common in my country, but gamblers still prefer to go for betting related to football matches and other sport. 
Without any doubts the most common sport here in our country, Brazil, is soccer. Therefore, soccer bets are getting really popular now with ads of online betting platforms on television. I also have the impression the desire for sports betting is overcoming the interest for traditional casino games among the younger generations. Actually, it's nothing new, as since the school's times students were used to bet among themselves on soccer results, but now things are becoming more professional and serious because people have easy access to betting virtual sites with odds and the assurance they aren't going to be scammed.
One thing that can be noticed well is that everyone is involved in live games through the sites they are on, they are involved in betting on all the games. These are just some of the goal setting shareware that you can use.

Yes, and the explanation for this is quite simple... it is much easier to bet on a sport where you know the players, the teams and the championships, this greatly increases your chances of winning a bet.
Where I come from, football is also the most practiced sport and the one with the largest number of gamblers.
Here we even bet among friends on who will be the winner of the next national tournament.

Young people can’t have a bet on football but of course they can watch the game and admire the players, dreaming that one day they can be a good player too. This is a norm, and since you are watching the national sport of your country tendency our, you can be exposed to that sports and you might slowly loving it as well. My country has a unique national sports, it’s not that popular but still we value it.
I believe some of this younger generation are also betting on football.
In this age, they have a lot of choices now where to place their bets.
I am thinking with crypto bookies that don't require kyc, for sure, some of these kids already found a way into this.
Because remember, the crypto market as well as crypto gambling is getting popular.
Just look for example, drake promoting stake, do you really believe some of his younger followers won't check out this site?
Is there a reason why you picked those countries? There are a lot more from the article.
The list looks out of date by the way. Each country have more than two or three "other popular sports"
I assume you are from India? It's not a well-known sport in most of Asia but your country seems to know it since it has about 20,000 players according to wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rugby_union_playing_countries

American Football without those thick body "armors" is the simplest way I could put it hehe. The rules are a bit different but just google them.What is Ruby though?
