With More Crazy Bets to Follow
Sports betting is wonderful!
It’s the perfect way to make a bit of cash while enjoying your favorite game even more. But sports are not the only things you can bet on. Depending on the bookmaker, you can bet on some of the most unlikely and craziest things – some of them you wouldn’t think of. And you can do a lot of other fun things, much like those you would find at Online Casinos CA
William Hill, the granddaddy of English bookmakers, has quite a large selection of special bets. Awfully British, I must say. Aside from the usual media events, like the BBC Sports Personality of the Year, the Eurovision Song Contest or The Voice (for those of you not watching TV, it’s a popular talent show) you can bet on World Wrestling Entertainment, the British royal family, as well as the actor to play the next James Bond. And, apparently, the next Pope – it seems that the online betting world is always ready for the next conclave.
Betfair, the inventor of the betting exchange, doesn’t have any peer-to-peer betting options other than sports. But in its traditional sportsbook you can find a handful of wacky bets to place, if that’s your thing. One of them is called “What Will Happen the Most in 2016”, with options like Jamie Vardy International Goals, Andy Murray Grand Slams and England Away Wins in 6 Nations. But this is still sports-related. Aside from sports, Betfair offers the usual media events, The Voice, WWE, Eurovision and their likes, adding X-Factor (another popular talent show) to the mix. But it has a rich section of TV series bets, which make their fans very happy.
Punters can bet on who the next Doctor Who will be (Richard Madden is the most likely at this time), on who the next president will be on House of Cards, whether a Narcos spin-off will be confirmed before 2022, or even the lead actor of True Detective in season 3.
