Beyond Sports: Skill-Based Betting Games Offering a New Dimension of Engagement

Submitted by USA Hammer on Fri, 23/08/2024 - 14:23

Gone are the days when bettors only depended on real sports betting. Through technology, developers and betting platforms are introducing new wagering methods based on skills and players' knowledge.

The following article reviews the new betting systems and how you can participate. It highlights the technologies used and the platforms offering skill-based betting options. Let’s get to it!

Simulation Games

This is a growing trend designed to provide players with a real-life experience. Platforms like Betway include different simulated game genres, such as football, basketball, horse, and dog racing. Placing a virtual bet on these matches is similar to placing a real sports wager. For example, a football simulation game involves bets like correct scores, over/under, outright winner, and whether both teams will score.

Apart from sports-based simulation games, there are new trends like aviator gameplay, which transports players to a virtual cockpit. This skill-based crash game usually takes 1 second to 2 minutes to complete and offers a new dimension of engagement. Aviator games combine elements of strategy and quick decision-making, challenging players to predict the flight duration before a crash. The immersive experience and the thrill of timing the exit make aviator increasingly popular among gaming enthusiasts seeking fast-paced and interactive entertainment.

Online Casino Slots Games

Most might argue that slot games are a game of chance. However, online slots, especially video and 3D types, require careful calculations, skills, and strategy to impact outcomes. For instance, players can analyze previous reel layouts and try to figure out a common pattern. Therefore, a specific strategy can dictate the rewards depending on what a player staked.

E-Sport Betting

Video game competitions currently allow bettors to wager on match outcomes, tournaments, and player performance. Games like Call of Duty and Dota 2 typically require skills to maneuver the battlefields and arenas. They also involve team competitions, needing proper group coordination. Therefore, you must understand the competitors to decide who and what bets to place. Luckily, gaming developers and tournament organizers provide players with personal data and historical gaming records. Also, use sites like Betway to get updates on upcoming matches. If you're new to eSport betting, competitors like FIFA, NBA2K, and NFL Madden are excellent choices.

Live Dealer Games

A simple login to your favorite wagering platform grants you access to a real casino experience. Live dealer games, mainly table and card games, connect you to a real professional casino dealer or other global competitors.
Examples of live dealer card games include Poker, Blackjack, Baccarat, Joker, and Red Dog, which have subcategories, ensuring there's an option for everyone. For instance, Poker lovers can choose between Three-Card Poker, Caribbean Stud Poker, and Pai Gow Poker. Meanwhile, tabletop games include roulette with different variations, such as European Roulette, Lighting Roulette, Live Roulette, and Multi-wheeled Roulette.

Improved Traditional Games: Chess

Arguably, live dealer casino games are an improved version of traditional gameplay. Chess is another technical game to play and bet on. Betting providers offer single and multiplayer options. Try the single-player to help you train for future competitions.

Conclusion

Betting is getting exciting every day, and the discussed trends are a great example of why. You'll have more fun playing quick simulation games or betting in eSports competitions. For a more personalized experience, try Live dealer casinos or a game of Chess.- USA Hammer

My dad took me to a betting shop as a kid and through the smoke he said "what do you see at the counter?" I said 3 windows to place a bet and 1 for pay out. Took me round the back of the shop to see the Bookies Jag saying those mugs in there are paying for that!

Its a problem here in Australia... true Moore2come?

I love it when gamblers make a point of sharing details of their winnings but never show the losses!

I don't gamble at all even on the big events.
Gambling is a massive issue in Oz though by all accounts. Pokie machines are the biggest problem as they are present in so many places. TV is flooded with ads promoting multiple betting outlets, it's almost inescapable

The Pokies are everywhere and Aussies are hooked on them. I love the government advert with all betting ads "You win some and lose more" and "think what you could have bought".

All said they bring in great revenue for clubs etc. Our golf club makes a fortune out of them!

You see it in pubs, where they're not allowed to sell booze in the mornings but the doors are open and people are filing in just to start their day with a punt!!

What I know now, I'd have laid out much bigger stakes. Even when I was winning,I still thought it was too good to be true. Apart from the initial stake, I was never betting with my own money but my winnings. https://www.oddsmonkey.com/

I watched the video example but dont understand how he made £24 on a free £30 bet i.e, how do you get the actual money without placing the £30 free bet?

Basically you DO place that £30 free bet on an outcome but you will also be betting the opposite on an exchange betting office (I used Smarkets). So what ever the result you win either at the bookie or the (preferably) exchange. And as none of it was your money in the first place (Free Bet) its all profit.
