How To Bet On the World Skateboarding Championships

Watching the world championships are highly exciting, as they feature the top skateboarders as well as a number of newcomers who want to establish their presence on the biggest stage in skateboarding.

What can make the competition more interesting is placing a side bet on one of the contestants, so fans will have one athlete they can follow and support to win.

To Win

For any of the tournaments, there will be odds offered on each of the contestants to win. This means that bets can be placed on the men’s park, women’s park, men’s street or women’s street competitions. Because of the number of contestants in each of the events, the odds offered will be longer than most other sports. Even bets on a favourite, or the higher ranking skateboarders, will still have competitive odds, which can appeal to punters who want to back the favourite.

Though this bet does come with some risk, as contestants cannot afford to make any mistakes. Despite the risk, this is quite an exciting bet to place as it gives fans incentive to keep an eye on one particular athlete.

To Finish In the Top Three

Just as bets can be made for the winner of any of the tournaments, bets can be placed on any of the athletes to finish in one of the top three positions. This bet comes at shorter odds than the to win bets, but they are definitely safer to place. Odds can be found on any of the contestants, and punters can try to place money on one of the athletes to finish in the top three. In the World Skateboarding Championships there is extra motivation for athletes, as the top three placing skateboarders will automatically secure places in the following Olympics.

When it comes to odds, the odds for the favourites going into the competition may be quite short. Though the favourites have a very strong chance of finishing in the top three, punters who may feel like taking a slightly larger risk for longer odds may try to look at which contestants are tipped to make top four or top five. These skateboarders who are on the borderline of being in the top three may have very long odds attached and still stand quite a good chance of winning.

Researching World Skateboarding Championships Bets

Punters who want to do some research on the contenders in the World Skateboarding Championships may be able to find a lot of videos of the contestants in previous competitions. It is also possible to check out their career statistics and try to put together an idea of how the athlete performs in big competitions, but videos tend to be more informative.

One big problem that skateboarders may have are recurring injuries that hold them back or stop them from attempting to go faster or jump higher. It is important to try to see which athletes look the most comfortable on their skateboards and are the most daring with their tricks. Some skateboarders may have problems with performing consistently. While this is not so much of a problem at the park tournaments, where the riders get multiple runs where they can try to set a high score, this may be a problem with street tournaments.

It is also important not to rule out newcomers, as there are plenty of teenaged skaters who have won the World Skateboarding Championships. It is definitely worth checking out which new entries are tipped to cause any big upsets in the World Skateboarding Championships.
