There are sports where I am more excited watching women though, like tennis and volleyball. Women's boxing and MMA are as exciting as men's depending on their individual fighting styles. So it really depends on someone's interest. Generally, men's sports are more popular than women's sports. But I believe women's sports are growing since more countries and people are more aware of gender equality.
If we talk about how the audiences of fans of women’s sports, men’s sports and betting intersect, then we must mention that the majority of bettors are men. This is an additional factor to betting mainly on men's sports. By the way, I would be interested to know the statistics regarding female bettors - what competitions they prefer, both by type of sport and by gender.
My bad, I noticed this late. You have a point, men mostly watch men's sports which matters when they bet.
You also made me curious about the statistics so I did a little search. Here's some interesting stats I found;
- 64% of gamblers are men while only 36% (7.5% increase since 2015) are women.
- 46% of men into gambling love the more strategic sports betting while almost 50% of the women prefer the more entertaining casino games.
- 46% of men and 42% of women were influenced by gambling ads.
- Gambling posts on social media influenced 56% of women.
