BETTING ON VIRTUAL SPORTS
Online betting sites have plenty of features and services to offer, starting from the classic sports betting up to live casino, games and financial betting, but one of the newest services started to become very popular in the last 1-2 years and most major online betting sites decided to implement it and optimize it: virtual betting.
Virtual betting is a specific category of online betting which seem to combine sports betting with casino games. We say this because most virtual betting sections give you the possibility of placing bets on virtual sporting events which are settled really fast (in 1-2 minutes).
Some people may ask: "Why would I place bets on a virtual sport event and not on a real sport event?". The answer to this question is quite simple and this is basically the reason why virtual betting was developed: customers can bet on sporting events at any hour of the day (24/24, 7/7) and have their bets settled in just a couple of minutes. For example, if an user wants to bet on a tennis event at 5am in the morning - it would be very difficult for him to find a live event at that hour (even if he's using an online bookmaker with a really great live betting offer, such as Bet365), therefore - with virtual betting he has the possibility of placing a bet on virtual tennis and satisfy his needs.
Other people can ask: "Why wouldn't I bet on casino games, such as roulette or baccarat, instead of virtual sports?". Indeed, casino games are also available 24/24 a day, but some people aren't attracted by such kind of games, so they want a familiar betting environment where they can really feel like they are betting on sports. This is why virtual betting is the only section which provides a user experience similar to sports betting.
The great thing is that virtual betting can now be found at most online betting sites. From all of these, Bet365 has one of the most attractive virtual betting sections that we've seen:
- new virtual events from horse racing, greyhounds, motor racing, football, tennis, and cycling are starting again and again after 3 minutes, so you can now bet on a tennis event, wait 3 minutes and you can bet on another event etc.;
- each virtual event has great animations and even live commentaries, so you feel like watching a real sports event;
- there are many types of bets available for football, including double chance, total goals, Asian handicap, match winner etc.
Virtual betting is not a section which can replace sports betting, but it can surely represent a good alternative if you want to have fun and if there aren't too many real sporting events available to bet on at late hours.
