With the exception of one more NFL game that has to be played tonight following a recent outbreak of COVID-19, Week 5 is in the books. This past weekend was a big one for sports gamblers on Bodog, with professional and college football completely overwhelming all other sports. With the NBA Playoffs wrapping up and the MLB postseason underway, these saw some attention from sports gamblers, but nothing compared to what football produced. 

Between the NFL and college football, 69.35% of the wagers on Bodog this past weekend went to the sport – 39.83% to the NFL and 29.52% to college games. In third place, the NBA Playoffs saw 11.91%, and couldn’t come remotely close to the power of football. Following the NBA action, which saw the LA Lakers when their 17th title after defeating the Miami Heat in Game 6, MLB attracted 6% of the bets, and the French Open Men’s Singles came in with 3.87%. 

The Ultimate Fighting Challenge (UFC) appeared in the sixth spot, but with only 3.1% of the wagers. Cricket, thanks to the Indian Premier League, captured 2.21% of the bets, while Major League Soccer grabbed a piece, with 1.66% of the total wagers placed. Golf’s Shriners Hospitals for Children Open also made an appearance, with 1%, and the League of Legends World Championship sneaked in, attracting .9% of all wagers made on Bodog this past weekend.

With such a huge overall percentage of the wagers, it’s no surprise that football occupied seven of the top ten spots in terms of individual betting events. The NFL game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Minnesota Vikings saw the most action, grabbing 19.9% of the bets. The Seahawks were the favorite to win, and only barely squeaked out a 27-26 victory.
