Even with no basketball, no baseball, no hockey, sports bettors will still find something interesting to get some action on. While we’ve seen clear signs of a few activities that have become sports betting favorites during the time of COVID-19, pure hard data is now giving us an indication of the unsung favorites of the betting public.
Bodog has been kind enough to give us a look at the top 10 leagues to receive sports betting volume since major sports leagues suspended their seasons. While there are some no brainers in the list, like MMA and esports, there are quite a few surprises in the list as well.
A traditional favorite tops the list. While the usual top leagues have put a pause to their seasons, the coronavirus still hasn’t stopped soccer everywhere, and club friendlies ranked number one for most sports wagers at Bodog. Also on the list was the Primera division and Belarussian Vysshaya Lida at the eighth and ninth spots.
And even though the NBA has suspended their season, basketball still goes on. The Russian MLBL league is now the fifth most popular betting league, and the Taiwan Champion followed in sixth.
