Moving the goalposts – this week’s sport betting opportunities
Yes, we are all grimly aware that most sport has been put on hold. However, if you’re willing to be a little bit adventurous, there are markets out there – here’s what’s available to take a flutter on right now.
Horse racing
You like the ponies? We’ve got the ponies.
Yes, there is currently still some racing taking place in a few locations around the world – keep an eye on our dedicated page for the latest updates.
Tonight (26th March), there are three meetings in the USA to take a crack at, from Golden Gate Fields, Gulfstream and Remington Park – and if you have an account with 32Red, you can log in and watch the stream of the race as it takes place.
Football
Domestic or mainstream European action might not be on the menu any time soon, but if you’re willing to venture off the beaten track there is some football action to bet on.
Let’s not kid ourselves, this is a little bit like that episode of The Simpsons when Krusty the Klown lost the rights to Itchy and Scratchy and had to show crudely animated East European cartoon Worker and Parasite – but hey, any port in a storm, right?
Which brings us to the Belarus Premier League. Torpedo Belaz Zhodino v FC Belshina Bobruisk? You betcha! Friday sees a couple of games with more to come over the weekend – including the eagerly awaited derby between FC Minsk and Dinamo Minsk on Saturday, an encounter that threatens to make Man City v United look tame by comparison.
Esports and more
Outdoors might be out of bounds, but if you’re partial to a bit of PlayStation, Esports might be where it’s at for your betting needs.
Counter-Strike Go is one of the most popular online shooters in tournament play, and you can currently wager on a range of international events taking place; there are games to bet on most night, with Pro League Europe games taking place this weekend.
If you’re looking for a more traditional sporting flutter, you can bet on FIFA action on Thursday night. Otherwise, check out our dedicated Esports section to see exactly what’s coming up in the days ahead.
Other sports that remain a going concern in the current climate include Table Tennis and Ice Hockey, with plenty of action in both those disciplines scheduled in the next few hours and days.
And if you don’t mind showing a bit of patience – which, let’s face it, is a necessary quality these days – check out our TV & Novelty markets. We have markets on who’s set to win Sports Personality of the Year – with Tyson Fury the clear favourite at 5/4 – but there’s also opportunities to bet on who you think the next James Bond will be, if you’re willing to play the long game.
There’s also a Politics market, but if you’re already feeling a little bit fragile maybe you’d be better off giving that one a miss for now…
