Expanding Betting Horizons with Exotic Sports at 1Win
Many 1Win users focus on betting on only one or two sports disciplines. Some choose cricket and kabaddi, while others prefer football and tennis exclusively. But we think this approach is not quite right. Sport is multifaceted, and you should not limit yourself to only a few of its types. That’s why we decided to dedicate this review to those sports disciplines that are not too popular among Pakistani 1Win players yet, but are very interesting and deserve much more attention of local bettors.
Snooker
Pakistan has a direct relation to the birth of this sport, the first rules of which were formulated back in the late 19th century. After all, it happened in the former British Empire, which included, among other things, the territory of today’s independent Pakistan.
Snooker, presented in line and live at 1winbet.pk, is one of the varieties of billiards. It is distinguished from other games with balls and holes by its larger table size and rather complex rules, which open up the prospect for numerous tactical combinations and strategic approaches.
Snooker is played with 15 red balls, each worth 1 point, and 6 coloured balls worth from 2 to 7 points. The peculiarity of this billiard game is that the balls must be scored strictly alternately – first red and then any coloured ball. Violation of this rule leads to penalty points.
The main snooker tournament is the World Championship, which is traditionally held at the end of spring in Sheffield, England. Of course, 1Win users can bet on this event as well as other tournaments that take place around the world almost all year round.
Snooker betting is quite comparable to tennis betting. You can bet on the net outcome of the match, handicap, total of frames played. At major tournaments, 1 Win offers extended match reports, which include specific outcomes, characteristic only for this sport. For example, the number of series of 100 or more points scored, or the presence of a maximum series of 147 points in a match.
Rugby
The essence of this spectacular sport presented in 1 Win is perfectly captured by a Spanish proverb: ‘Girls play volleyball, boys play football and men play rugby’. Indeed, it takes a lot of courage to take part in a rugby match.
Rugby is visually similar to American football, but it is much more serious – the players have no helmets or other protective equipment. Therefore, in matches there are not uncommon injuries, but very often, even in cases where the injured person is given first aid right on the field, the game continues. In football matches with numerous simulations of players, such a situation is unimaginable.
The strongest club championships you can bet on at 1Win are the English Premier League, the French Top 14 and the United Rugby Championship, which features teams from different countries. This includes three clubs from South Africa, which also sets rugby apart. In other disciplines, a regular tournament featuring not only European teams but also African teams is hardly possible.
Among the tournaments at national team level we can highlight the World Cup, as well as the Six Nations Cup, in which the best teams in Europe take part. Of course, 1 Win users can bet on these tournaments as well.
The outcomes on which bettors bet most often are quite standard for any game sport – the winner of the match, forfeits, handicaps, bets on individual halves. For the most high-profile events, 1Win sometimes adds additional markets, including statistical ones.
Golf
It would be wrong to think that golf is a sport exclusively for millionaires. It is played by many people all over the world, and in Pakistan too, anyone can play a tournament at a golf club, of which there are plenty in the country.
But you don’t have to play golf yourself, you can just bet on it at 1Win. And golf tournaments are even better for analysing than those in team sports. It is always easier to evaluate an individual player than a whole team, so betting on golf is not only very exciting but also potentially lucrative.
The most prestigious tournaments are considered to be those held by the PGA. It is an analogue of the tennis WTA and ATP, and unites professional golfers. But there are other competitions in golf, and you can also bet on them at 1 Win.
The markets available for betting on golf tournaments are quite peculiar. You can try to predict the winner of the championship, and you can also bet on the place a particular player will occupy – whether he will be in the Top 5, Top 10 or Top 20.
Conclusion
1Win users have the opportunity to bet on more than 30 sports disciplines, and to limit their choice to just two or three of them would be completely wrong. We have only covered three sports that are pure exotics for most Pakistani bettors. But you should not stop on them either.
Floorball, squash, curling and many other disciplines presented in 1 Win are quite capable of broadening your general outlook, as well as providing new knowledge, emotions and, perhaps, even financial benefits.
