Promos And Bonuses For Cycling Bets
Even though it's very popular in the UK for both spectators and participants, when it comes
to online betting on cycling, online bookmakers tend not to treat the sport in quite the same
way as, say, football or horse racing.
That means that promotions designed specifically for outdoor or track cycling betting are few
and far between, though some do crop up around the time of bigger races like the tour de France.
When the bigger events of the season roll around, make sure to keep an eye out for any related
promotions.
Anyway, online bookmakers are offering more welcome offers and bonuses every year to guarantee
they attract punters, and these can be used to bet on any sport including cycling betting in
the UK!
If you're looking at cycling betting odds for your chosen race, they'll probably be written
in one or two different ways: decimal (1.2, 3.4 etc.) or fractional (3/1, 2/5 etc.). Since
fractional odds are far more common in the United Kingdom, with decimal odds more common in
the rest of Europe, we'll focus on those here.
Let's look more closely at the examples provided above. Wagering £1 on a cyclist with odds
of 3/1 would yield a profit of £3 on a successful bet, for a total payout of £4 when you
include your original £1 stake. Meanwhile, you'd need to wager £5 on a rider with 2/5 odds
to make just £2 profit, i.e. a total payout of £7.
Betting odds can be a bit confusing but the best cycling
betting
sites will let you switch between formats, and often provide a bet slip calculator that works
out your potential winnings for you. Still, we'd recommend that British players get familiar
with fractional odds so you can check that everything looks correct.
