Most popular sports to
bet on during Halloween
From Ben Jardine
October 2020
The fright season is near, and what could be more frightening than to be
missing out on some first-class sports betting action?! You needn't worry,
as there are lots of sports events taking place during the week of
Halloween. Some English Premier League matches are set to be played
October 31st so you can expect a lot of hype as some of the most popular
sports in the globe take place during Halloween.
English Premier League
By Halloween, we'll be around week 6 and 7 of the English Premier League
(EPL). This is the post-warm-up phase, so the action should be heating up.
For the teams that have already played several matches, this is where a
winning streak can make or break the season. That can only bring good
things to the punters.
There are three hot matches on Halloween in the current league. Both
Manchester City and Chelsea have played several games. We are excited to
see how Chelsea is going to get out of the no-score zone after last week's
match. With the popularity of the EPL for people from around the world
Betway created a roundup of all of the frightening festivals that can
rival Halloween throughout the year, should ever stumble across the La
Quema del Diablo in Guatemala, later this year!
Australian Football League
The AFL final weeks are usually right before Halloween, so the games get
pretty explosive. Richmond took the trophy this year with a dominating
match against Geelong.
You can start placing bets now for the 2021 league. The AFL may be
planning a late start next season due to the ongoing health crisis. If
this happens, punters would have more time for odds grab. Keep in mind
that the odds are subject to change as we move closer to kick-off. Some
bookies offer early bracket placement for those who like playing the long
game.
Horse Racing
While horse racing may be more prevalent during summer, you can still
catch the end-season races during Halloween week. The Moonee Valley, for
example, hosts many great match-ups during October. If you bet now, you
can still catch the last few races before Halloween.
National Rugby League
Rugby betting has always been popular among off-season punters. It's a
viable side game option while monitoring other sports. The grand final
this year was a devastating experience for Panthers' fans. They got taken
by surprise in a 20 -26 match leaving many still wide-eyed. There were
some high odds on that game.
Futures are open for placement now if you want to do some early bird
picking. The starting odds are usually decent on most bookies. You may
even notice slight adjustments on games of the 2020 finalists. It might be
too soon for brackets, but the currently available games should last you a
while.
Final Thoughts
Honourable mention: The National Premier League (NPL). Sometimes, the
best action can be found right at home. Remember to catch the final games
that usually happen during the Halloween season.
If you choose to bet on future games, make sure to keep an eye on the
odds. Faraway matches are often volatile as team changes tend to occur
during off-season. One of the best betting options is setting up your
bracket as soon as games are available.
