Sportsbooks now offer weather betting odds amid coronavirus pandemic

weather betting odds

No sports? No problem, bets the oddsmaker.

March Sadness has not been kind to the online sportsbooks, which have seen the NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournament canceled and most of the sports leagues postpone their seasons until further notice as COVID-19 continues to spread across the globe.

But in an effort to offer people something to legally bet on during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Bovada oddsmakers have gotten creative with their latest entertainment betting lines.

Betting on the weather forecast is one of the most cherished pastimes of elderly people and the boomer generation.

Grandpas and grandmas around the world love nothing more than sitting on the porch swing after a hard day’s work and arguing about how the other doesn’t know anything about meteorology.

And thanks to the quick, young whippersnappers at the Bovada sportsbook, even you can get in on the climate action and place a bet on what the temperature will be in the biggest cities in the United States and Canada.

The Bovada oddsmakers have said all the weather betting odds will be graded on the temperature results from timeanddate.com, so be sure to bookmark that link as a reference.

First up is the over/under temperatures on St. Patrick’s Day, but you can bet that the top legal online sportsbooks will continue to offer new and unique ways to wager in the weeks to come—or until the coronavirus pandemic is officially over.

Jacob Jennings
Jacob has been writing ever since he was a wee lad, but he “officially” became a “professional writer” in 2013 after he received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida (Go Gators!) College of Journalism and Communications. At UF CJC Weimer Hall, he learned from some of the world’s top professors — including Pulitzer Prize winners and jurors — in journalism, public relations, marketing, and multimedia. Alongside his passion for writing, Jacob has in-depth knowledge and understanding of all sports and esports and would wager that few know more than him, especially when it comes to his two favorites: NFL and college football. And because sports and betting go together like peanut butter and jelly, he chose to bake (and make) some bread by joining the team at SportsBetting.Legal in 2018. Today, you’ll catch Jacob betting, watching, and writing regularly on sports happening all around the world in addition to covering the legislation that’s currently in the works across the United States. When he isn’t working or watching his favorite sports teams disappoint him by not winning it all every year, you’ll most likely find him immersed in any number of video games, such as Borderlands, Dark Souls, The Witcher, or pretty much any competitive multiplayer game not named Fortnite.
