Some of the most popular sports bets in NZ

As with anything, what is popular isn’t necessarily the best, but the most popular bets are a good place to start if you’re new to sports betting.

The most obvious bets are often the most popular, these include try scorer markets for Rugby. For boxing, which round a knockout will occur or just the outright winner.

Side bets, which I’ll describe as those that aren’t central to the game, are also very popular. These include corners, yellow cards and throw-ins for football markets. The possibilities are endless.

If it's the long odds you’re looking for, try multiple bets, such as first goalscorer and correct score. Or you can add several different scores from different games together, which multiplies the odds.

The further you dig into this market, the more possibilities there are!

Live Betting: real time excitement

Live betting are bets that are made during the event. An obvious example might be the next goalscorer for the football market. Live betting is very popular, with the advent of reliable internet speeds and allows players to place one or multiple bets on an event throughout its duration. The immediacy and scope of live betting makes it one of the most exciting sports bets available.

Betting tips

Here’s the first and most important betting tip you’ll ever get, enjoy it! Sports betting is fun, exciting and full of surprises.

As far as the bets themselves are concerned, this very much depends on the markets you’re playing. Some sports are best set up for live betting, such as football, others are somewhat more straightforward, such as boxing. While there is crossover with some of the betting with these two sports, they are very different in scope and style.

Broadly speaking, however, here are some of the best basic tips to enhance your experience with the Space Casino sports market:

• Utilise the many offers available, from free bets to cash back
• Use live betting to keep the experience fresh
• Combos provide the longest odds, for those who like the less likely but larger rewards
• Stick to your budget and never chase your losses
• Betting while watching the event can enhance the experience of both the spectacle and the bet

How does sports betting work?

Each sports bet (including multiples) are given odds. These can be short odds (such as 2/1) or long odds (such as 100/1). A 2/1 bet will pay $20 for a $10 bet, while a 100/1 bet will pay $1,000 for a $10 bet.

Obviously, the longer the odds the less likely it is thought that this particular bet will win.
