Sport Events with High Betting Volume

What is the consensus bet? What athletic events generate the most revenue in the world of sports betting? We'll look at five of the most watched sports in the world and see how much money is bet on them.

Soccer (football) is the most popular sport in the world, thus it makes sense that it generates the most revenue. According to estimates, soccer accounts for 70% of the £1 trillion mentioned above every year!

The FIFA World Cup, which takes place every four years, is the pinnacle competition in football. The World Cup offers a tonne of betting chances despite having a one-month duration.

210 nations compete in the preliminary rounds of the competition before competing in further rounds to advance to the final 32. Every step of the process, gamblers from all over the world can put bets. Despite the lack of official statistics, it is predicted that more than £260 million will be wagered during the entire tournament.

The Big Game
The National Football League reigns supreme if we concentrate on the American scene. Nearly half of all sports wagers are placed on the NFL, with the Super Bowl being the most widely bet-on sporting event of the year.

A record-breaking £158.6 million in bet were placed on the 2018 Super Bowl LII, in which the Eagles upset the Patriots, at Nevada sportsbooks. The previous year's Super Bowl LI wagering record of £138.5 million was shattered by this astounding sum.

These are, of course, merely the official (legal) numbers. The American Gaming Association calculated that the actual amount wagered was probably in the neighbourhood of £4.76 billion.

February Madness
One of the highlights for both sports fans and bettors is the NCAA tournament. In one month, 68 teams compete against one another in seven single-elimination rounds in an effort to win the title of national champions.

According to data from the American Gaming Association (AGA), wagers on the 2018 NCAA men's basketball tournament would total more than £10 billion. Only 3% of that total was most likely lawfully wagered.

However, £300 million in total bets on one single event is insane given that only one state allows gambling!
