The US has one of the biggest sports betting industries in the entire world. Among the reasons for sports betting popularity is the top sports events held in the different states. In this article, we focus on the top 5 best sporting events that most bettors wager on.
The Masters Golf Tournament
Scheduled for April 2020, this is one of the four championships in the professional golf division. Last year, it was a great experience for bettors as Tiger Woods captured the 2019 edition, contrary to the expectations of many punters. When betting on the Masters, look out for par-five players and draw ball naturals and avoid the defending champion. Who’s your favorite pick for this year’s edition? Is it Tiger Woods once again or will Brooks Koepka spoil the party?

Considering the popularity of basketball, the NBA Finals attract a lot of bettors, just like Super Bowl and the Masters Golf Tournament.
