The rise in the use of cryptocurrencies for gambling has also met a corresponding rise in the number of crypto sportsbooks in well-regulated gambling jurisdictions. This has today led to a throng of highly professional bookmakers offering nothing but crypto gambling. To maintain a fair market share, some other prior existing sportsbooks are beginning to add cryptocurrencies to their payment and withdrawal options.
We have also seen that several leagues and competitions are becoming increasingly available for crypto betting, making it possible for just anyone to bet on their favourite leagues, competitions, tournaments, and more. This post takes a look at some top sports league markets offered by crypto bookmakers around the gambling landscape.
What are betting markets?
Betting markets are a set of betting options available at each sport event, which players can bet on. The markets on each event allow the punter to select one, two, or more outcomes that a game will have. So these markets may look similar on different games, but they differ in application, scope, and most times, rewards. It suffices to state that on many bookmaker sites, one sports event can possibly have tens of markets that a punter can wager on. With the difference in sport also comes the difference in betting markets. So, it’s for you to search on the betting site for the sport(s) you would like to bet on, and wager on the market(s) you feel is most likely to hit.
