Cycling Betting at Unibet

It’s a great pastime that helps us to keep fit but, for the serious enthusiasts, cycling is also a thrilling major sport. With added exposure from TV broadcasters in recent years, cycling is more popular than ever before and that popularity has extended to the betting markets.

At Unibet, there is constant interest in our cycling platform but it’s natural that things will intensify at certain times of the year.

 

The Grand Tours

Cycling has three major events known as Grand Tours: These are the Giro D’Italia, the Vuelta a Espana and, at the very top of the tree, there is the Tour de France. Winning any of the three competitions marks the pinnacle of achievement as far as all riders are concerned and the nature of the events guarantees a strong and competitive field.

The sport has also been a part of the summer Olympics ever since the modern games made their debut back in 1896. This marks another busy period for our sportsbook but there is plenty of professional cycling taking place throughout the sporting year.

Those are the main events but, if you’re looking for some markets, what can you bet on?

 

Betting on Cycling

Staking on the overall winner is the obvious place to begin here and, for the major events such as the Tour de France, these will appear well in advance of the actual start date. With smaller events, outrights will still be quoted but these can be found in the days leading up to the off.

Cycling doesn’t have the capacity to add a whole host of prop bets but it is possible to stake on stages for the bigger races. Individual phases such as the King of the Mountains carry great interest in their own right and Unibet will have relevant options in place.
