Speedway Betting Odds & Markets

Speedway, which some people refer to as motorcycle speedway, is a sport that sees riders battle it out on purpose-built motorcycles, with the first across the finishing line being the winner. Speedway races usually include a minimum of four competitors, and they will go head-to-head in an anti-clockwise direction around an oval track for a set number of laps. 

As mentioned above, Speedway sees purpose-built motorcycles in action, and in most instances, the motorcycles don’t have a break, and they only have one gear. They’re also designed to be able to perform on what are usually dirt tracks, with power sliding a key part of races. The bikes are capable of reaching speeds of up to 70mph and are emblazoned by the different riders and their teams’ sponsors. Because Speedway has been around since the early 1920s, there are multiple competitions, tournaments and events held worldwide. The sport is primarily popular in Europe, Australia, and North America. 

Speedway is a niche sport in the eyes of some, but it’s very popular all the same. And so is placing bets on its various competitions and events. 

World Championship Outright Winner 

It’s the same with any sport; the world championship is very much the be-all and end-all. The same applies to football and soccer, with the World Cup, and in snooker, with the World Championship. In Speedway, the world championship is what every rider wants to win, and placing bets on who that rider will be is popular. It’s an outright market so placing a wager on Bartosz Zmarzlik means that Zmarzlik would have to be declared the world champion for the bet to win. He remains the strong favourite to make that so. 

SGB Premiership Outright Winner 

Speedway is popular in Europe, and people who are fans of the sport specifically watch the SGB Premiership, which is the Speedway Great Britain Premiership. In the UK, The SGB Premiership is the highest level of the sport, but rather than the competition being about riders, it’s about the teams they represent. At present, there are seven teams competing in the SGBP Premiership, and betting on which of these teams will win the title at the end of the season is popular via the outright winners market. 

Race Betting 

The two markets mentioned above are outright markets, but with so many speedway races going on, especially in the UK and Europe specifically, it’s also possible to bet on individual races and race nights. This market allows punters to take into account what’s been happening in the SGB Premiership, for example, team form, etc., before placing their wagers on what they expect the outcome to be on an individual race or race night.
