Motorsport continues to blaze a trail as one of the most popular sports in the world and few vocations are as entertaining and thrilling as bike racing.

With competitions and races taking place all over the world and in many forms, bike racing continues to be one of the most popular punts for sports fans and sportsbooks alike.

Key to the appeal of bike racing betting is the sheer excitement that comes with every race. With bikes racing at speeds of up to 200mph, the margins for error are so small and with the added element of danger associated with every race, it makes compelling viewing.

As a betting vocation however, biking is not always the easiest for punters to earn big money from so read on for a guide on how to profit from biking betting:

Use Trusted Bookmakers

The surge in sports betting popularity has led to more bookmakers than ever emerging within a congested marketplace.

Doing prior research on any bookmaker you choose to use is always recommended and opting to bet with a reputable sportsbook is key.

Adequate security measures should always be met and look out for companies that are registered with their relevant gambling commission.

Embrace Bike Betting Variety

Whilst the essence of every bike race is the same – first racer past the chequered flag is the winner, the formats within each race takes place is interchangeable.

Here are some of the best bike betting options available to punters:

Moto GP – Perhaps the most recognisable format of bike racing is Moto GP. With races taking place at circuits all over the world, Moto GP is a global brand that dates back to 1949. A traditional Moto GP season contains 20 races – with fiercely competitive races taking place on a weekly basis.

Bets can be placed on simple markets such as the race winner, all the way through to which driver will crash out first – adding to the market variety punters have when Moto GP betting.

Superbikes – The direct competitor to Moto GP is the Superbike World Championship, which is also competed all over the world on a weekly basis. Most Superbike races take place on road based circuits and it has been a staple of the motorsport calendar since its launch back in 1988.

Speedway – When it comes to thrills and spills, few bike disciplines are as engaging as speedway. With leagues taking place in the UK as well as Poland and Scandinavia, speedway pits racers against each other in a series of heats before a Grand Final in each event.

The unique scoring system and innovative way in which a speedway event is run makes it a godsend for punters as straight win all the way through to individual race accumulators can be bet on.

Enjoy the Uncertainty

As mentioned, few sports are as unpredictable and unaccountable as bike racing. With racers speeding around courses at incredible speeds and a variety of external factors such as weather and track conditions, anything can happen.

Every racer will feel that they can win a specific race if things go their way and in competitions such as speedway and superbikes, with the mechanical make up on every bike being the same – most races are an even playing field.

Picking a long odds winner within the bike betting sphere is far more commonplace than when betting on car racing for example – so accept that things may not go your way every time and seek out value in every bet you place.
