In the wake of the Coronavirus outbreak that has rendered the sporting scene dormant, the latest trend in the betting scene is virtual betting which is the talk of the town among punters.

With Sports events all around the world now indefinitely postponed, things are becoming difficult for punters. Fortunately, technology has made it possible for punters to still place bets on sports events. This is virtual betting.

Virtual betting is basically a kind of betting availed by some bookies, in Kenya and the world, where customers can place bets on computer-generated games-which function just like real matches with real teams and players.

The football matches are ‘real’ but much shorter, so you don’t have to wait for a whole 90 minutes for the match to end. The virtual matches usually take about two minutes each, but the winning value remains the same as those of actual matches and their odds.

Over the past few months, OdiBets has become famous for their unique virtual betting platform known as Odi League. The betting firm was one of the companies that were fast to adopt virtual betting after the crackdown on betting in the country.

A review on Odi League, for example, one is able to place their virtual bets on various markets just like they would on real sports bets. Punters also have opportunity to experience deals with boosted odds, just as it was before the Covid-19 pandemic. New clients get to receive a Ksh20 bonus on their first bet on OdiLeague.

Odibets also has a FIFA Esport generated tournament dubbed FIFA 20 played on Playstation 4 console.
The odds on the games are available on the Odibets betting platform whereby punters can pick on the games they can bet on. The games last between 6 to 10 minutes.

While waiting for sports action to be back, punters are now aboard the virtual betting bandwagon trying their luck.
