Virtual Sports Betting

Online sports betting has been a popular internet activity for the past decade or two, with plenty of great sports to choose from like football, tennis, boxing, rugby, motor racing and many others. However, even though you may be betting online, the fact of the matter is, is that all of those sports happen in the real world. As such, they also depend on real world conditions, which may at times mean that an event that you may be looking forward to betting on, gets cancelled. This can be for any number of reasons, from bad weather to player injury.

With virtual sports you no longer have to worry about missing out when an event is cancelled or a players is injured and can’t perform as expected. That’s because, as the name suggests, all of the sports found under this tab are virtual. In other words, these events, fixtures, tournaments, races and other forms of competition are generated by video game software. One of the biggest benefits to virtual sports betting at Novibet, is that we run our virtual sports events around the clock, rain or shine. At any time you like you can log into your Novibet account and enjoy the best virtual sports betting online, including virtual tennis, virtual horse racing, virtual basketball, virtual football league and virtual football cup action.

Virtual Sports Basics

Believe it or not, virtual sports have actually been around a lot longer than you might have thought. While today’s top virtual sports use the very latest in cutting edge digital gaming technology to create ultra-realistic and lifelike virtual games and matches, the origins of virtual sports can be traced back to the early sixties. The first form of virtual sports was called fantasy sports and they were created with a simple pencil and paper system.

Participants (bettors) in fantasy sports used various game and player statistics to determine the outcome of the games. In 1961, IBM introduced the first dedicated and self-contained computer (the IBM1620) which officially became the world’s first actual virtual sports platform. The machine used similar game and player statistics coupled with a random number generator to determine winners and losers in fantasy sports games.

Today’s virtual sports are a far cry from those early days, and use the very latest in 3D graphics and animations to create the most realistic gaming environments possible. When you bet on virtual sports you will get exactly the same feel, as well as all of the same betting options that you would find in real world online sports betting. The only real difference however between virtual sports betting and real world sports betting, is that you don’t have to wait for the full 90 minute soccer event to end to get the full results. You also don’t have to wait for the next match to take place the following week. With virtual sports, you can bet on results every 30, 60, or 90 seconds, making it much faster than any other form of online sports betting available.
