Specials – Logic and research can show you the path

Whereas betting on the outcome of sporting events is the norm in Betsson Sportsbook with football, tennis, golf, US Sports and basketball amongst the most popular, it’s certainly not the only way to bet on sports.

There’s a whole world out there of odds on what will happen next…away from the pitch, court or course.

The obvious place to start are specials on football markets such as will a particular Manager still be at his current club at a particular date or who specifically will fill a vacant Manager’s position. You can also bet on such things as which club a particular player will move to next. Or who will receive such prizes as Ballon D’Or Player of the Year or who will be the Top Goalscorer in a particular league or tournament.

Still staying within sports, you can also bet on such things as who will finish the year as World Number One in tennis, whether a particular NBA player will be traded to another team or who will make the Ryder Cup team in golf.

Away from sports you can get odds on such things as when a Royal Couple will tie the knot, what a Royal baby will be called or you can put your money down on who will be the next Pope…when the time comes around.

The interesting thing about specials betting is that there’s arguably more of a science to it than sports betting. In football or golf for example there’s always an element of good or bad luck that can scupper your bet or allow you to win purely down to good fortune. That’s fine of course but with specials just reading the newspapers and websites and making calculated guesses or trying to work out with logic what might happen next adds an extra element of analysis to things.
