Soccer or football has the most fans around the world and that makes it the most popular sport for gamblers. With approximately 4 billion fans around the world, assuming half of them placed a bet with every game, thats still a huge number of gambling supporters of the specific sport. I'm not a fan of football, but everybody notices how their fans loudly celebrate during the world cup.
I only know the game of basketball which I usually place my bet on, may it be fiat or crypto.

I personally like to bet on soccer matches too since there are so many options available then any other sport.
I like to bet on corners other than goals or a straight main line bet.
People do like to wager on the amount of fouls which are committed and if a team will receive a red card or not allowing the other to have a one man advantage for the duration of the rest of the game.
Another wager is if a team will have a clean sheet or not meaning if they will be scored on.
These bets are too difficult to predict so I have not used these options before for my bets. But I prefer to bet on soccer then any other sport for these reasons.

With a defender like that who has the balls to stop a sure goal plus a goalkeeper like Scott Sterling, it's a tough team to score against Cheesy

cricket are very well known sports all over the world

I am not sure about cricket being that popular. I know it is being played in countries like England and their former colonies but I'm still a bit surprised that it's being discussed more than baseball (at least in this forum).

Soccer, football, and cricket are very well known sports all over the world even they are the same concept of sports. All in sportsbook these games were always there and it is a very common sports game. But as they say, it depends on what country and what sports being popular in your place.

With online gambling it doesn't matter whether particular sport is popular in your place or not. Cricket, for example, is not popular where I live, but I bet on it more frequently than on other sports because, for some reasons, I have more luck with those bets than with betting on other sports.

Football, either American or soccer, is probably the most popular sport among gamblers, but the thing is that it is researched by them to such a degree that you can rarely win a bet with higher than 1.5x payout.

Lol, what a funny one. That was very hurt I'm sure.

I believe if the sportsbook has very popular on the internet, they will get so many gamblers that will come to their site and place their bet on each of sports. Soccer will be the biggest game that will people choose to gamble and with the big prizes which will be the winner, I am sure that will attract more gamblers to participate. That will give more money to the site and of course, the owner will make the biggest profit, especially if there is an exclusive match that will show like a World Cup.

I think Nba and fighting sports. There are sure a lot of supporters of basketball that bet when it is finals and even in my country, friends and family make bets on who's the team that gonna take home the championship. And in fighting, boxing and mma is the best choice to enjoy and bet at the same time.

Fighting sports is a sport that I am not even interested in betting so far, but it is extraordinary in your place, because fighting sports are becoming a more popular sport in gambling or for betting, because as usual in my place sports betting related to ball is the most more popular.

I'm just wondering, on what sport does have much popularity when it comes to betting. For I have seen even the last pages of this section has sports gambling topics that was killed long time ago and only few remains and actively running. So, I came to observe on which sport do they like the most, or perhaps which sports does have a most number of supporters here and their reason why they love it the most?
Besides, no one can even predict what will be the outcome, it sure is a Lucky guess (I think).

P.S. I have never been into sports betting, because for I'm not enjoying the thing,... I'd rather play dice than just watching them play for my money. But for me I just prefer Basketball(NBA).

For me, the sports that have many gambling supporters is soccer or football because it's the most popular sports game in the world. But its depend on the country which you are in. In my country the famous sports are basketball, and most of the people know how the play basketball it's like common sports that you should know. Also, I often bet on basketball other than tennis, boxing, and soccer. But when it comes in the Super Bowl, I usually bet.

Here is some link that was telling that the most popular sports in the world are soccer or football.

If you just read some post above you then you will surely find that the answer has been already given and that’s soccer,and what about that “Fighting Sports”? Please be specific?but if your pointing to boxing and MMA then you’re wrong because those sports has limited audience and maybe popular in your country but not in another

That is a funny moments, and the commentator know what he should say. I think we have to see so much funny moments in any of sports and that will make us laugh. But I think that is why soccer have the biggest fan in the world, because they have many attractive moment that will make us curious.

Nice to see that video again. It never gets old Grin

But seriously, football/soccer is fun to watch. You just have to understand the rules just like any other sports. You do not see a lot of scoring but the intensity of the game is high most of the time. If my memory serves me right, the highest number of goals I've watched in a single match is 10 (Man United 8 - Arsenal 2).

Weird that you haven't included horse racing in your list.
I mean, that sport's existence is basically tied to gambling, though it's obviously not as popular as football in general.

I didn’t expect sport racing to be on the list anyway, so I really don’t understand what is weird about the compilation since soccer is leading on the list which is absolutely right. It took someone time and effort to make a post and I think that should be appreciated, if you feel there’s something not right then make yours and let’s hear your own opinion.

Moreover, I don’t really think horse racing is that famous, so it’s not really a bad idea if found missing on the list and like you have rightly said, sport is not as popular as football even though it is common in gambling and for the records, it isn’t more famous than poker games and the rest of them, so I don’t agree that it is tied to gambling to gambling existence in your words.

I guess it's really based on what country you are living.

There are parts of Asia who loves basketball and cricket and soccer.
And then Europe who are also a big soccer fanatics but there are also basketball fans as well.

And North Americans who are tune in with football.

Same as other parts of Americas who are a die hard fans of soccer.

So this is a never ending debate, just saying.

Soccer might be only in the U.S but football is basically everywhere in the world. Though I am not against sports betting, but I never enjoy this thing too. IMHO the sports betting lead to match-fixing which will ruin the game. But many people enjoy sport-betting just for fun too.

What?soccer and football consider as same as far as I know or if there are differences maybe just a little bit in rulings so there’s no need to differentiate the two because you can see most of the posters use it as the same game

I am a big fan of sports gambling and I would like to add that apart from Soccer which I checked has been ranked number one on the poll, you should have also added cricket to the list. I fell it would have been ranked third in that list. Cricket is being played more nowadays and more and more people are betting on it.

Cricket is on the top 10 games as well ,it was mentioned in the very first page of this topic since it’s also very popular in some part of he world and more popular than basketball

Soccer and football are just the same. In the USA they mean American Football when they say football but they better give it a better name ;-)

Cricket is not popular in the majority of countries around the world.
Soccer is the most popular (you can also notice that football clubs are one of the biggest enterprises in the world economy).
Soccer is the king of gambling and always be...

Most people prefer soccer, I think the biggest sports gambling is soccer because soccer is much preferred. many sites offer bets such as guess what. but I don't like online but offline, that's more certain.

Basketball is only popular in America, in other parts of the world basketball is not too famous. different from soccer which spreads evenly to all parts of the world. but I prefer gambling online only, because offline is more complicated you have to find an opponent or dealer first to gamble

Soccer is not popular in our country also because basketball is the leading sports here in the Philippines. But according to the statistics, the reason why soccer is more popular than basketball because soccer is known in a big continent like Europe and Africa that consist of many people.

The soccer has a big community also, even in social media platforms around the world.

Maybe horse racing is not among the most popular sports in the world, but in regards to gambling it is very important and, I agree with you, it should have been added to the OP's list. According to this wiki article:

Quote from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betting_on_horse_racing

Parimutuel betting also provides purse money to participants and a considerable amount of tax revenue, with over $100 billion being wagered annually in 53 countries.

$100 billion wagered each year is a lot of money, and although it is a bit less than that what is wagered on football(around $100 billion in the US alone) it is a comparable amount, and thus worth attention.
