Sport by sport guide
There are a few sports to bet on depending on which app you use, the majority cover racing, football and basketball.
Virtual football betting
Virtual football is one of the most popular virtual sports. It has a similarity to FIFA when watching it which makes it feel more familiar than, say horse racing. Almost every app has virtual football betting built-in and they are usually games at international level.
Here is how the match looks
There are games that start every couple of minutes and you’ll get stats to look at before the games. The choice of markets is a lot more limited compared to standard football betting. You will usually find the standard home away and draw as well as the goals markets.
Here’s how the pre-game markets look –
Once the match starts you will get highlights of the match. These are the goals and big changes as well as any potential red cards. They usually last 2-3 minutes and in-play betting and cash out is not an option with most.
Virtual horse racing betting
Horse race betting follows a similar flow to the football betting. There are races going off on regular occasions and a range of pre-race betting markets. You do not get the movement of odds that you usually get on a “real” race.
You do still get to read the virtual form of each the horses as you usually would. Once the race is in running you get to see the full race as you would usually. Here is how the races look –
Once the race is over you get the official results and all bets are settled. I’ve watched a good few races and I’m yet to see a photo finish but they may happen.
Virtual basketball betting
Basketball betting looks just like NBA on the PlayStation or Xbox. You can bet on the winner of the match, total points and a handicap spread. Here is how it looks –
