Virtual sports betting is part of a larger shift in the sports betting world. Why We’re Paying Attention to Legal Sports Betting As you can see on the betting slip above, I bet $1 that there would be a turnover pass on the second play of the game. On the second play, the Bobcats’ quarterback threw an interception. The bar has three TVs dedicated to virtual sports Soon enough, the “Bobcats” and the “Diablos” popped up on the screen, with their stats listed as the seconds ticked down.
I bet $1 each on five random outcomes in a virtual football gameĪfter I placed my bets, a countdown clock on the TV above the bar let me know the game started in 29 seconds. To test it out myself, I made five prop bets on a game for $1 each. It’s a side bet on anything other than the final outcome of the game. Bettors make “prop,” or proposition, bets. Instead of using a bookie, I used the Xpress Virtual Sports machine that was in the Pittsburgh bar.Įvery five minutes, there’s a virtual football game with randomly generated outcomes. It’s a computer-generated simulation that you can bet on. Like I said above, in virtual sports, there are no human players, no stadiums, and no hometown teams. I went to this bar and bet on this game because I wanted a firsthand look at one of today’s biggest trends: virtual sports betting. Instead, I wagered my money on a simulation of a football game… with fictional teams and randomly generated outcomes. In fact, the team had no real players and no hometown stadium… because it wasn’t a real football team.
My bet wasn’t on your typical sports team. I wagered my money on a football game, but I didn’t bet on the Pittsburgh Steelers… or any other NFL team.
That’s how much I made on a bet recently at a bar on the south side of Pittsburgh.
