I bet in boxing, upset is rarely happen especially for unknown boxer, you can take advantage through multiple bets by picking favorite boxers. If the fight is big for chasing a belt, you need to know the capability of each boxer, upset sometime happen on big fight.

Just be careful if you want to bet on exhibition or amateur fight, the result is really unpredictable and my assumptions the fight was scripted.

I hope everyone would agree with this list:

  • Soccer
  • Basketball
  • Cricket
  • UFC

Those 4 above sports might be indeed the most popular ones in the gambling industry although I do know about soccer only because the other 3 sports are not popular in my country. If I have to add other sports which I used to bet are Motosports such as MotoGP and F1, and the other one which is popular in my country is Badminton.
Just like in the country where I live comrades.
For F1 in my country it is not very popular and has many fans but for MotoGP and Badminton there are lots of fans who are willing to leave anything when these two sporting matches are in progress.
But to be honest, I myself am not interested in these two types of sports and have never watched or even bet on them.
The sports I'm most interested in and always become a priority are only Football and UFC because they have excitement that you can't get when watching other types of sports.

It seems that it happens in sports that are not too well known so the competition is not as tight as in football where there are many unexpected possibilities, like in badminton we will rarely see the top players lose in the early rounds at least the top players will reach the quarterfinals so at the start a tournament will be very easy for bettors to make a profit by betting on top players but the profit is small because the odds are so low unless we do a multibet, but don't do that when it's past the quarterfinals because the battle is already fiercer and it is already more difficult the result will come out.
Most of the time, the sports that are not very popular like you mentioned badminton or any other game, people don't really watch them a lot so they don't even know who are the best players in those games and that is the disadvantage if one goes for betting on those games even if there can be countless opportunities of winning bets and parlays.

So I really find it wiser to just bet on sports that you have some experience about only to be sure that you know what you are doing unless someone is ready to sit and research about the not very popular game to find out who is the best player and how all of them play, etc. It's a time-consuming process but might be worth it.

Most that you will see is the NBA, you can be sure there are tons of basketball fans here also expressing thier bet on every match. The NBA threads go to hundred pages already. It's by far one of the sports I have tried as I can easily see people chooses a team to win.

One is also the UFC. Men are men and like combat sports. But I once tried betting on a chess match but was just a test. Apart from the list, it's Boxing that is very much easier to be dragged.
I usually bet in NBA just like everyone here since a lot of us are fanatics in NBA games, but apart from it, I also love betting in boxing which is not included in the list. Just like NBA, boxing is also one of the hottest threads here in gambling discussion. Compared to UFC, I guess I am more familiar with most of the boxers rather than those names in MMA, that’s why I’m placing more bets in boxing than UFC or MMA.

Let's include e-sports (CS:GO, Dota2, Valorant, and Pubg) and also boxing since our country loves to watch boxing. We are not big football fans, but when it comes to basketball, we are all watching it and, without a doubt, these are the people who bet the most on it. This is the sport that the majority of us know, and every time there are playoffs or finals, people are mostly betting on it.

I'm interested in boxing and basketball, both locally and internationally. I enjoy betting on these sports because it adds to the excitement of watching the games. Although I'm not promoting that everyone should bet, for me, it maximizes the fun and adds a little thrill to the experience. It's what makes me happy.

If we talk about the most popular sport that generates the highest number of bets, it's undoubtedly soccer.

For me, it has always been football, though I do sometimes touch on tennis and basketball, and maybe occasionally on UFC, but my major sports of focus when ever I bet is football.

I love racing as well, like auto or bike racing, formula 1 and the likes, but I must admit that I've never betted on this games ever since I began gambling, and this is simply because I hardly have time to follow up on this type of sports, doesnt make sense placing bets on sports I don't really know much about.
yes, that's why the majority of users on this forum are gamblers who like soccer betting more than other sports. If you look at the betting discussion boards, most discussion threads focus more on discussing football, maybe because this sport has more choices from leagues and clubs, so it provides more opportunities and potential to win compared to other sports. never try gambling that we don't know and understand in 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
  • Basketball
  • 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, Automobile racing, and Boxing as my question is about those sports that are not being discussed here but you do bet on them either occasionally or regularly.

Soccer and basketball has a big fandom and it has a bigger community. These are international sports so no wonder why it has huge number of bettors. I also like betting on these sports also because of my colleagues' influence. Aside from these sports, I'm also betting on boxing and some of the local racing sports in our country as well. There are also underrated sports nowadays that are silently gaining a bigger number of bettors.

As far as I know there is a huge fan base in soccer/football, larger than any other sports in history. So, that means there are also a lot of bettors in this type of sport and that also means we can choose from several options on how we are going to bet on our favorite teams. However, I'm not really into football. I am focused in basketball, specifically the NBA. Simply because I have enough knowledge to understand the risk of my bets. I have also found several reliable sources where I can get a real time updates on teams, rotation, injuries and everything regarding the team updates.
Therefore, it's wiser to choose on betting to a sport where you have enough knowledge to reduce the risk of losing.
If we do tend to see some ranking about sports popularity then we would have this list.
https://www.topendsports.com/world/lists/popular-sport/biggest-global-sports.htm

1.    Soccer / Association Football    
2.    Basketball    
3.    Tennis    
4.    Cricket    
5.    F1    
6.    Baseball    
7.    Athletics    
8.    American Football    
9.    Boxing    
10.    Golf    

Seeing sports betting among the lists is available.I cant think off for possible add up because my interest do really stick out with these sports.

Of the several lists of sports betting options that have the most fans from all walks of life, it is football, even within sports betting gambling, it has a fairly high level of popularity and almost all gamblers are interested in soccer betting.
Football is a sport that is the easiest to predict who will win in an ongoing match and the chances of winning on soccer betting are bigger than other types of sports.
From this list, I am only interested in betting on football and the UFC, unlike those of you who are fond of basketball or the NBA because I don't really have much knowledge about basketball or the NBA.

I'm a pure football bettor, I almost never bet on other sports, I've tried betting on UFC - basket ball (NBA) - boxing but I'm quite difficult to understand it, so I decided to only bet on football.

right now I'm trying to bet on e-sport, but the results are not good, I even have trouble finding references Cheesy
If your goal is to earn a profit then you should only concentrate on the games that you love the most because you are also familiar on how the game is played and the teams or players that are involved. It's still great that you take the courage to try other games. There are UFC, NBA, and E-sports threads in this board. Maybe you will need to hang out more on these threads if you are serious on improving your skill on them.

It depends on which sport I like and which sport I personally understand the best. I can't remember if I had ever placed a bet for sports other than Cricket and soccer. In Asian countries, these two are the most popular sports and people understand these two perfectly. Though personally, I place most of the bets in soccer (Place bets on cricket occasionally), most people here place bets on cricket matches. I don't even anymore watch any other sports for a quite long time.
I think cricket is a popular sport in India but in other parts of Asia, it was basketball. Soccer games must be popular in Brazil and similar countries. It's interesting how a country can influence us the sport that we like but maybe a few percent don't follow it and have their own favorites.

Soccer is one of the most popular sports so it is not surprising that it is one of the top sports that gives betting revenue though it is not as popular as Basketball in my country.

Betting on soccer makes the games more fun to watch especially on the weekend. It is not just about the potential to win from betting but the joy you get to know that you got a prediction right, means you know enough about a sport you so love. I am careful betting on soccer because of how I can become too addicted that I begin to use more money than I normally use in betting.


It is more fun to watch especially when your favorite team is playing and winning.  That doubles the fun because of the money won if the team where we put our bet wins.



...those sports that are not being discussed here but you do bet on them either occasionally or regularly.
It is more a game than a sport though because it is played with friends. I like to bet on card games whenever I play with friends.


Most of card games are not a sports though  unless you are playing poker games.

Are All Forms of Gambling a Sport? Poker is the only form of gambling that can be considered a sport, at least by the Oxford Dictionary definition. No other gambling game involves individuals or teams competing against each other.

I personally won't bet on or have any experience with any other sport than football and cricket but in my opinion, tennis is the most famous sport after what you've listed and people mostly bet on that after these sports. I do use to watch tennis too in the past but I don't have much experience with it nor do I know all the players and tournaments, etc.

What makes sports betting so lucrative is the wish to win big rewards or at least have more chances of winning a reward since though it's gambling of a sort but it isn't solely dependent on luck and your knowledge and experience play a great role too.

From the choices above, the one which I watch most often is basketball. That's why if I place bet to basketball compared to the other three.my second choice is to bet on UFC, same reason, I watch is mostly than the 2 left sports. But if there will be an e-sport option, I'll probably go with that first.

Tennis game and basket ball (NBA) game are the two games i have placed a bet on before now. I dont really know much about the two games. I was attracted by the odds, but Soccer is my most favorite sport game that i bet whole lot of time including the virtual play.

Boxing is another game i have tried twice and it was fun.

You mistakenly assume some of the name of franchise to the sports category.

UFC = MMA
NBA = Basketball

Actually Boxing and Tennis are popular too on sport betting if you will visit forum that specialized on gambling. The majority of forum member is just a fan of football that’s why it was always being discussed here. Football has so many league and this is the reason why gambling discussion is dominated by these sport.

Thanks for correcting me. I have gone ahead and amended the topic. I generally do not bet on sports, but I was curious to know which games are the ones that are watched only for betting. I also found out that the biggest betting revenue generated by a sport is NFL. I have not seen any thread related to it or I might have missed it.
