Football: sport that is a national passion
Brazilians are passionate about football, and this is nothing new. It is evident in everyday life, in the news, in heated discussions between friends and, of course, in the world of betting.
If, on the one hand, physical bets on football matches are often associated with controversies, as they involve from bookies to criminal schemes, on the other hand, virtual bets, safe and made in the comfort of home, have fallen in the taste of people who simply seek have fun and earn extra money.
With the possibility of betting on results, card numbers and several other modalities – in addition to access to the biggest championships from different parts of the world – Brazilian bettors continue to see football as the main option when betting. But this does not exclude other sports, which are also gaining more and more space.
martial arts
Brazil is a great reference when thinking about fighters. This is not new, since in recent decades the Gracie family was largely responsible for the fame of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu around the world. The old “Gracie Challenges”, which brought together athletes from different martial arts, ended up originating Vale-tudo. Later, this practice was also popularized in the USA, where it gave rise to the famous UFC championship – Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Over time, the UFC evolved – and brought with it the concept of MMA, or Mixed Martial Arts. With more rules and much safer for fighters, the UFC quickly won thousands of fans around the world.
In less than 30 years of existence, the UFC has already accounted for more than 270 editions. Over the years, not only the fighters of the Gracie family, but also athletes like Anderson Silva, Wanderlei Silva, José Aldo and Vitor Belfort, among many others, have become major international stars.
Those who have never bet on fights can benefit from sites likeOdds Sharkwhich contains information about the types of bets available (moneyline, totals, winning methods, etc.) and indicates which are the best houses for those who want to bet on UFC.
Basketball
Although basketball in Brazil is not as popular a sport as football, the NBA, the North American basketball league, has a guaranteed place in the hearts of Brazilians. It is estimated that the NBA currently has around 40 million fans in the country – which is equivalent, for example, to the size of the fans of Flamengo, the most popular football club.
For those who like this sport, there are interesting options besides the classic moneyline. It is possible, for example, to bet on the total points of the match, and even on the advantage of points (point spread/handicap), which allows to balance the bets when two teams are very unequal.
Electronic games
2 or 3 decades ago, electronic games were not very well regarded. There were those who associated them only with children and teenagers, or even with a restricted and nerd audience. But this way of thinking has completely changed in recent years.
With the popularization of streaming, driven by greater access to broadband, online games gained a very diverse audience. Consequently, tournaments of ever-increasing proportions emerged, capable of attracting millions of spectators worldwide. It is no exaggeration to say that these tournaments are responsible for moving billions of dollars, including in advertising and sponsorship.
In Brazil, e-Sports betting has also been gaining more and more fans. Among the most popular games are CS:GO, Valorant, Fifa, Dota 2, LoL and Free Fire. With a few million players in the country, this is a betting modality that has everything to grow in the coming years.
