One online form of entertainment that has recently become very popular among sports betting fans is virtual betting. In short, these are bets that in all respects reflect the online betting scheme, but in which the events are entirely invented and reproduced, precisely virtually, and shown to the player in a graphical representation. In short, a kind of effective combination of video games and bet live.
What are virtual bets
Virtual bets can be made before the start of the match and on different types: for example, on the final result or the exact one. You can also play by the number of goals or under / over. The player can also combine more than one event, creating an actual personal ticket for several virtual football matches, alternating both predictions and different odds.
Pros and cons of virtual betting
Security is just one of the arguments in favor of virtual betting in addition to full availability. There can be no questionable results like those occurring at the end of the season or in the qualifying rounds when the development benefits two teams. This is an exciting option, available 24 hours a day and with events that are resolved in minutes, so we save time waiting to see if the bet wins or not. In addition, there is a good selection of sports activities.
What sports are available for virtual bets?
The variety of sports on offer is almost limitless: football, motorsport, horse racing, cycling, tennis, darts, cricket, archery, table tennis, badminton.
Football is undoubtedly the undisputed king of this market and takes over 70% of its market share. What you love about these virtual sports is the ability to immerse yourself in realistic scenarios, but the results are achieved in a short time.
These prerequisites also led to the success of the management games that have such excited audiences around the world. Take football, for example, to explain what types of virtual bets can be made in this area precisely because, as mentioned, this sport is the absolute king of virtual sports.
As in real football, even in virtual football, there is a relatively wide range of predictions that you can bet on:
- Final Result Betting (known to most as 1X2): This allows you to place bets on the outcome of each match: a home win, a draw, or an away team win.
- Betting on the correct result is one of the most difficult bets requiring no special explanations.
- Double Chance Bet: here, you bet on 1X, x2, or sull’12, meaning you can predict whether the home team (double chance bet) or the away team (double chance bet) will win or level at the end of the game), or that one of the two teams wins without considering a draw (double chance bet)
- Goal / No Goal Ultimate Betting: Here, a prediction is added to the classic 1X2 in regular time if both teams score at least one goal or less.
- Under / Over Bet: In this case, you are placing a bet that the number of goals will be over or under the limit set by the bookmaker.
- Multi-Goal Bet: This bet specifies the range in which the total number of goals scored will be included.
- Multiple bet: With this type of bet, you can bet in various matches with one virtual ticket.
Virtual Football Betting: Tricks
In football, just like in dog racing, there are a few little tricks: to begin with, as a rule, the virtual football championship consists of 20 teams, each of which draws from 7 to 11 times per season, so it is essential to check the performance of the competition. Individual teams in the championship.
For example, if a team scores less than two goals per game on average, at least half of the season’s matches could end with less than 2.5. Even the goal / missed goal market can be considered using the same system: if two teams that face each other tend to score frequently, you can adjust your bets accordingly by betting on a goal.
