At my first guess is basketball has the sports that literally has have a lot of supporters. And I made a researched which technically I’m wrong. I love watching football like it’s super entertaining, fun to watch and I can’t just stop loving it and watching it all videos thru internet.

Very interesting data. I suspected(and said in my previous post) that Cricket, because of its extreme popularity, should have been added to the list. Yet I think that some data from the worldatlas' table, quoted by you, are debatable. For example, in my opinion, Basketball is hardly less popular than Tennis or Volleyball nowadays. That's why the table below suits me better.

The obvious answer is soccer,because it has so much more opportunities to bet on.The result,how many goals are scored,how many corner kicks,handicap bets,the possibilities are almost endless.
And last but not least,soccer is the most popular sport in the world.
The more interesting question is,which sport is number 2,in terms of popularity across gamblers.

I voted soccer as well heres the poll results

Even in this thread, it's clearly evident that there's a lot of gamblers who bet on soccer compared to the other games in the choices.

As per research as well, we can easily tell which sport is very popular, so there's no since to continue discussing here since the question has already been answered and by searching in google, you'll be able to get the accurate answer already.

Voted for soccer.

That is usually the case in PH because we are more of basketball enthusiast here. Football is not that hype as we all know that these sports can't just be played at the backyards or streets. Even with the popularity of Azkals PH in Asian tournament, it didn't really give much of a boost in terms of football popularity in PH.
<...>

You’re right. It seem to be that PH has the finest or more on in sports of basketball that’s why it’s my first guess that slipped in my mind. Me in myself I don’t know that football has the most popular sports in the world this thread just happen to help me and make myself to do research on it.

One also reason why football soccer isn’t popular in PH is lacking of soccer field to played with. Like what you’ve just said we can’t play football (soccer) in the backyards or streets. So yeah, atleast I know now what’s the most popular sports. Tongue

Even with some of the big football events I mentioned above like Super Bowl, I only feel the impact of it on the cafe bars here. Betting is alive but only a few places their bet, at least as far as the all bettings made by each countries statistics* is a concern.

Survey result says soccer! So must be the reason why sportbet.io sponsored a soccer team recently. It must have been an exposure to them. But I think this depends to which country the gambler is, for someone which my country men likes basketball than any other sports, we always bet on basketball games. For US citizen I guess baseball or probably basketball as well.4

For black sports gambler, it must be basketball so the race also matter. Black are the the best basketball players in the world.

However soccer is the top sport that has many gambling supporters. Even though in your country other sports are the favorite one, soccer is still the best because not only people who bet but those who don't also like Soccer.

No doubt, football is the most popular sports globally so we can assume that it is also the sport where big money circulates whether on crypto or the usual fiat gambling. Great examples are FIFA World CUP and Super Bowl Event which always produced big wager compare to other international events such as FIBA World and even Olympics. Not sure though if same scenario happen in crypto gambling since we don't have a reliable statistics about this or I just missed it.

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,...

Once you get involved in sports betting and become used to it, your mindset about "sports betting is just a lucky guess" will surely be changed.

I think for me it’s soccer/football because just check the thread about it here

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/premier-league-prediction-thread-epl-1148053

Comparing to the thread of basketball that you can see here

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/2019-nba-pre-season-1220979

Is seems that the soccer fans is more active and consistent to their comments not like basketball

And just like others I’m not a fan of sports betting (but I try to bet once occasionally) but I love reading topics about who’s winner and what triggers to that

The answer would be Football...

Yeah, upon looking at the poll, I really never thought that Basketball will be only in 2nd place, Soccer game is really popular here as the survey says. Not only in Europe I guess, though I haven't watched any of it ever since, maybe I'll try these days so I can understand especially when it comes to betting. I was really wrong of thinking that Basketball is the most popular sports across the world.

The answer would be Football (not the American Football) since popularity of the sport alone gives a wider audience for the gambling industry. If you think about different popular teams we have on each country you will see that all of this teams have loyal supporters and these supporters also are part of betting with their team not to mention other football fans as well are also hooked in gambling in Football. Aside from that you also see a long of gambling sotes cover football matches often even the one s who don't know football are also betting.

Hands down, Football (don't use the word soccer, I hate that, lol) is the most popular game in the world and its dominance is notable in gambling world too. I am avid football supporter and never misses a single La Liga game. What I have noticed is that almost 80% of the advertisements on the ad boards around the ground are gambling related. Last year, FortuneJack was one of the leading advertisers for LaLiga matches. This year, 1xBet's ads are shown on ad boards for 20-25% playtime in every game.

When these gambling sites are spending millions of euros on advertisement, it surely signifies that the number of users betting on football matches are numerous. However, if I have to talk about my country i.e. India, people here are crazy for cricket. During IPL season, cricket betting market crosses $100m every time in India according to reports.

Based on my participation I believe it is tennis and soccer. Apart from this more other sports also needs to be added. From my view in our forum we've got lot of cricket game gamblers and supporters. As few users stated the popularity varies based on the location. Western nations prefer soccer while Asians prefer cricket. Cricket gained importance through special leagues that were conducted every year with players from every country playing for different teams.

I believe its always depends on your location like for example in European countries Football is the most popular sport and also many gamblers are very active on this game, but in my location which is Asia there are small number of gamblers when it comes to Football the most popular here is basketball so many speculators are betting on Basketball even in international league, I tried to research to find some statistics on gambling on what sport gamblers usually bet but I have no luck.

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).

Among on the Poll I have selected Soccer which I am right and next is basketball but it seems that I was wrong on the 2nd guess according to this link
https://sportsshow.net/top-10-most-popular-sports-in-the-world/

Never expected cricket do have that lots of support and popularity. I do only focused on Soccer and Basketball though.

Here in my country, a lot of people are into basketball, either local or international team. Basketball is one of the most popular sports here, and I already saw and encountered a lot of people who bet (online or not) for the team they support in a game. It's very common here to bet money for your team along with your friends and acquaintance.

Most of the answer here is soccer but in my country, it doesn't really that hyped compare to basketball which almost all boys loved.

I'm going for Basketball since most of the people here in my country is addicted on the game Basketball, even the kids are starting to play basketball on the street. So, in my everyday life, I always see adults who play basketball with a bet or they are betting on their favorite team in NBA each game, it depends on them how it should be done, especially if we are talking Championship in NBA, people are going crazy arguing and saying that their "team" is going to win.

And boxing, as the next sport that has many gambling supporters here in our country.

I expect soccer to be the top choice, considering the many countries where soccer is the number one sports, soccer is not popular here in our country, only boxing, and basketball, and we do have an ending game here for basketball.

There are a lot of gambling sites that have included soccer in their betting features and in fact, there are gambling sites dedicated for soccer betting alone, so there's no wonder why it is number one.
