NFL becoming more popular in Asia
National football league or shortened NFL is one of the major American sports that almost exclusively enjoys popularity in the United States, with little to less attention being paid to the sport in Europe and other parts of the world. However, in recent years NFL has enjoyed great popularity in Asia, with some going as far that soon exhibition games and pre-season might occur in Asia. Betting in Thailand, Phillipines and other betting-friendly countries in Asia have great opportunities for bets on this sport, on sites such as sbobet, which generally gives great odds and opportunities for the bettor.
In a near future a relocation of some exhibition games to Asia looks inevitable for a lasting success of the NFL. It might cause this sport to lose its identity by kind of “selling yourself” but for financial gain it is something global sport analysts recommend. Asia, as one of the fastest growing economies in the world, would certainly embrace the opportunity of hosting these events in their own backyard A rise in popularity of some sport would certainly raise the stakes as well and people would want to bet on that sport, like on sbobet. Same happened in 2002, when South Korea and Japan hosted FIFA World cup and soccer received immense boost in this part of the world.
Up to 28 million of Americans claim that NFL is their most favorite sport, but only one million of Asians considered themselves to be huge fans of this art. While the number itself is not as low, you must reconsider that the market in Asia has about two billion people, which makes one million pretty obsolete. However, true fans are a rarity in every country, as great fans don’t really bet. The true force of betting goes to casual fans – those that somehow like the sport, enjoy the Superbowl every now and then and would like to cash in and have fun.
Superbowl Sunday is one of the highly watched sports in Asia, despite the fact that due to time difference it takes place early in Monday morning. This did not stop many Asian betting centers, like sbobet, to produce great offers and odds for the Asian betting market, which will satisfy regular bettors. Asian market is by size the greatest and by giving the market what it needs, you are ensuring a great profit. While NFL doesn’t really compare to soccer, basketball or such sports, it certainly adds to diversity and makes you want to specialize in a particular event or betting turf.
Popularity of betting on NFL in Asia is a topic that will be heavily discussed in about ten years, when it is initially predicted that this sport will rise in the biggest continent. The average number of fans or casual followers of this Americana product is still pretty low to expect a serious income, but with different strategy and a possible game in the Asian soil in the coming years, pages like sbobet would certainly improve their offers by a mile and thus improve their stand in worlds market.
NFL gives great opportunities for bettors, such as Superbowl expert bets and over/under, spread or handicap betting, line betting etc. There are plenty of choices there for some regular bettor and if the number of NFL fans improve in years to come, we would surely have a greater opportunity on sbobet and other websites that propose betting.
