FUTURE SPORTS AVAILABLE FOR BETTING
Nowadays most online bookmakers are trying to surprises us with big odds, bonuses, promotions, betting platforms with interesting features - but most of them fail to stand out. Therefore, one of the key points which can prove the real power of an online bookmaker is represented by the betting offer. Let's take a look at some of events available to bet on and other sports which may soon be added by online bookmakers.
25 years ago most people would never have thought that they would have a possibility to place bets using a computer connected to the internet. 15 years ago the bettors didn't even think they'll have the chance to place online bets on sports like trotting, squash, netball or futsal. If a couple of years ago you had mentioned that you wanted to place online bets on who would be the next Pope, who would be the next FHM star or on television shows, most people would have considered this to be a crazy idea. This shows how much the online betting industry has evolved in a really short period of time.
The continuous development of the online betting industry demonstrates that anything is possible and that there are still many things that can be improved or added to current online betting sites. As we've said before, betting offer is the item where we see some major changes, so let's review some "weird" sports that can have chances to be added in the online betting offer of bookmakers:
o Sepak Takraw - is a popular sport in the Malay-Thai Peninsula first played in the 15th century. This sport is similar to volleyball - but with a major exception: instead of using your hands, you need to use your feet, knee, chest or head to touch the ball and move it over the net. What's interesting is that this game is now played in competitions from the United States, Japan and Canada. It won't take long until we see a major competition and online bookmakers with this sport.
o Beach Kabaddi - is a sort of wrestling sport which is very popular in countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran and even the United Kingdom. Even though the rules are a big strange, this sport managed to get international popularity through top competitions (including Olympic games).
o Octopush - is a type of underwater hockey in which two teams play at the bottom of the swimming pool. It may sound impossible, but up to ten people from each team are trying to put the puck into the opponent's goal.
Apart from these there are many other sports all over the world which are currently not offered by online betting sites, some of them are really interesting, while others are quite funny (such as finger jousting or wife carrying), so the point is that in the near future we can expect to see many other amazing changes in the betting offer of online bookmakers.
If you're interested in a betting of a specific sport which is not usually offered by online bookmakers, you can even contact the support and make a request for such sport to be added. Unfortunately, not all sports requests are fulfilled, but online bookmakers are doing their best to diversify the offer and satisfy the needs of their users.
