Betting is a huge industry in the United States. If you are a sports fan in the US, you’ve likely placed a bet, at least once, according to the statistics. But, what are the favorite sports to bet on? Certainly, the American population has a deep passion for sports. In this article, we would like to explore which five sports are the favorites.

Sports Betting in USA

Before we talk about the sports, it is only natural that we discuss sports betting in the USA in general. After all, the hobby is a huge source of entertainment for many people. In 2023, most notable sports betting happens online. In large part, thanks to the online sportsbooks that have become so popular in the past two decades.

For those who don’t know, online bookies are the big thing in sports betting right now. You can check out the Novibet sports betting section, and you will see a wide variety of sports that the site covers. Among them are all of the US’ favorites. Speaking of which, it is finally time to get into the meat and potatoes of this article, and discuss the USA’s top five favorite betting sports.

Football

Football, or American football as it is known around the world, is by far the most popular sport in the USA. Americans love football, and events within the sport have become a huge cultural ordeal. We are of course discussing the Super Bowl here, which is one of the most popular even in the world of sports.

Football has slowly been growing in popularity all around the world. Japan, Great Britain, and Germany have especially been enamored. However, it still primarily remains a USA-centered sport. It seems the rest of the world prefers soccer.

Soccer

Major League Soccer has been gaining a lot of traction recently. In 2022, the organization surpassed the NHL, not just in terms of revenue, but also in terms of sport popularity. That is right, soccer is now the fourth most-watched game in the USA. Naturally, it is also one of the most popular betting sports.

Basketball

Next to soccer, basketball is the biggest sport in the world, watched by over 2 billion enthusiasts worldwide. The National Basketball Association is America’s basketball governing body, and one of the most successful basketball organizations globally.

Thanks to the popularity of the 1990s Chicago Bulls team, spearheaded by Michael Jordan, NBA basketball has become a global phenomenon. In 2023, people from all over the world enjoy watching America’s best teams compete for the championship title.

Baseball

Baseball is often called America’s favorite pastime for good reason. The sport is huge in the country. Not only that, but it has garnered a huge following outside the USA too. Asian countries especially have a deep love for baseball, and baseball betting.

Boxing

Finally, we reach combat sports. Of the two combat sports that dominate the world right now, MMA and boxing, the latter remains the more popular. Though, not by much, and not for long. Still, boxing is an incredibly popular sport to bet on, especially in the USA, where some of the greatest boxers of all time come from.

What is Accuscore?

Accuscore provides predictive analytics on sports, based on the company’s own algorithmic simulation engine which has been under constant development for almost two decades. Sports predictions are an outcome of simulations in which individual games are simulated for thousands of times in order to arrive to the most likely results. These results are then used to create analytical predictions, content and advice for bettors, pundits or any stakeholders in the industry or media field. For the individual US users, Accuscore’s predictions can be accessed through subscription to BetQL.

The Accuscore simulation engine uses the relevant historical data of the players, teams and leagues to predict the outcomes of the games before they have started. The simulation results are based on the individual player performances and weighted according to the teams’ form, opponent and other circumstances that have been proven relevant to the outcome of the match. We have managed to filter out the unnecessary data-points by determining which are important and which are not – this has taken several hundreds of thousands of simulations, cross-references and comparisons of simulation results to actual outcomes.

Accuscore aims to provide independent, unbiased and objective sports predictions for all the customers. We strive to be transparent and all our simulations results are available in the archives. Throughout the years Accuscore has worked with several betting companies, for example Pinnacle and Coolbet, media houses such as Telia and Sporing News, sports teams and leagues, and of course individuals through our subscription service.

Our capabilities include tailoring the sports predictions service to any B2B need with different licensing models, revenue sharing programs or affiliate markets. We can package content based on the simulations in several different ways, which can include automated widgets, unique articles, videos or pure numbers from a feed – whatever suits your needs!

How to use Accuscore sports predictions?

Accuscore’s simulations provide various advantages for both businesses and individuals. The simulations are based on a sovereign algorithmic system and all the simulations are always ran the exact same way. The only variables are the data inputs which the simulation engine then uses to create the sports predictions according to the algorithmic model. The model has a proven track record and for example the NFL picks have provided constant profit over the years.

The simulations provide probabilities for the outcomes of the games which include – depending of the sport – for example the most likely final result, the amount of goals or points and player performances. These sport predictions can be compared to odds in order to make a more educated betting decision or they can be used to support, oppose or adjust ones view on the betting market.

For businesses the sports predictions provide an opportunity to use original content in various forms which can be modified to suit any need, for example: providing more information to customers, attracting traffic or users, as unique content to publish or for other marketing purposes such as short videos for social media. We are happy to tailor our service for each B2B customer.
