Online Sports Betting – 2006 Review

There were online sports betting highlights in a variety of sports in 2006, with Blue Square offering odds on all of the major international and domestic sporting events online.

The football World Cup in June was the biggest online sports betting event in history, with record numbers of bets being placed on the matches and the eventual winner. The clear pre-tournament favourites with the online betting sites had been Brazil, but excellent early performances by Argentina resulted in significant market movements. However, sports betting UK fans who backed the early favourites were disappointed, as Italy and France contested the Final, with Italy eventually victorious on penalties. Check out our online football betting review for more comment on the year’s football.

In American football, the Super Bowl was won by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Online sports betting bookmakers could well be advised to reduce their odds on the Steelers winning another Super Bowl as they have now won as many (five) as any other team in NFL history. Blue Square also offer betting odds online on all major American sports, including baseball and Basketball.

Looking for a great sports betting UK website?
Looking forward to 2007, there are again numerous major online sports betting events on the calendar. These include all of the usual annual events and also the Rugby and Cricket World Cups (although UK sports fans looking to bet on their own team may not find much joy in these given the form of their teams at the end of 2006!).
