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.

No I never deviated from this norm. Growing up here in the Philippines we love basketball. We even have our own thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/2022-23-pba-commissioners-cup-5169983
Also you can find a basketball court in every street and we treat our local basketball stars as some sort of movie stars. So obviously, at a young age we are engaged in this sports and later we learn how to bet. We have our own betting called "ending game" https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/let-me-introduce-ending-game-5134723

I believed this is the norm though, I mean young boys growing up watching their national sports on tv and admiring athletes and dream that one day they can play it representing their countries in international games. So they follow the sports by heart, and when the time they realized that they can't make it, then maybe they will go into gambling as they know the sports very much and gamble.
In my country (Mozambique) the most dominant sport is soccer, although I have all sports and I have won several cups in other sports and I have never won anything relevant in soccer the government of my country and people like soccer more, it is even strange that most people from my country like soccer more although soccer we just lost a lot every time we played against teams from other countries and other sports we managed to beat other countries. I've asked myself why this happens and I can't find the answer
It's also the first time I've seen such a thing and from what I see there will be few people who will comment and mention their country and which sport is more dominant in their country, that's because in this forum more than 50% want to be anonymous
I have not seen such an overview to be honest

I have not seen such an overview to be honest, but it can be very useful in principle. It is true that not everyone in those countries likes to bet a lot on those matches that are mentioned in the schedule. Maybe it will help people who are interested in sports statistics. 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?
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?
Below is a table showing some countries, and their national sports.
