The Best Remaining Sports Bets of 2021
Talk about a controversial title – we didn’t choose it at random, as you very well may have guessed! Sports can be a very personal thing, and whilst one person may commit his life to the NFL, others could find the sport quite dull. I’ll admit that is a bad example, though – who in America doesn’t love the NFL?
We’re in December now, and many people’s thoughts are on Christmas dinners, purchasing the perfect gifts and making the day an exciting one their children. Even if you have all of this going on though, there are still several sports betting events left on the 2021 calendar which are ripe to be taken advantage of – and you could well score better odds on your favorite as a result of the lower number of bets being placed day as people concentrate their time on more seasonal matters.
Women’s Handball
Ever thought of placing a bet on the women’s Handball World Championship? The 2021 result is still to be decided, and you may just be surprised at how exciting and thrilling this sport can be. Group stage games are currently taking place, with France, Russia, Norway, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Brazil, and Spain leading the eight four-team groups. Norway are the current favorites to win the tournament with most sportsbooks, though Hungary’s Katrin Klujber looks to have a good shot at the Best Goalscorer of 2021 award. If you’ve never watched a game, give it a try! This is an entertaining sport that never gets enough attention from mainstream media.
Motorsport
Or perhaps Motorsport is more your thing? The Drivers Championship of F1 has come down to two men this year – Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton. With Hamilton winning six of the last seven Championships, he is the favorite despite Verstappen currently having the lead over his opponent. There’s a bet worth looking at there, for sure!
Depending on the result of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, the drivers Championship could have been decided by the time you read this – but even if that does prove to be the case, there is one more race left in this year’s season – next weeks Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Bookies will be taking bets on the winner of that race, as well as the Constructor’s Championship, which is currently balanced on a knife edge between Mercedes and Red Bull Racing Honda.
eSports
How about eSports? The VCT (Valorant) Championship is proving popular with gamers this year, and there are lots of bets worth placing in the 2021 VCT Championship. The tournament’s group stages have already begun, but the playoffs will soon be taking place – these will be played in a single-elimination format, with eight teams playing best-of-three games to decide who will be fighting for glory in the grand final.
If you haven’t looked at eSports before, Valorant is a great place to start – the practice, experience, and eventual skill required to play these sorts of games at the highest level is amazing to watch. Just because these are “electronic” sports – or video games, if we’re going to break it down to the most fundamental level – doesn’t mean there isn’t some serious money being staked on these sports – why? The prize pool for the 2021 VCT Championship is a million dollars. eSports are becoming bigger and bigger every year, and this is only the second major Valorant Championship – who knows how big it might become in the future!
Fighting
There are two major MMA events left in 2021 – UFC 269 is due to take place on December 11th, and top of the fight card is the UFC Lightweight Championship bout between current champion Charles Oliveira and Dustin Poirier. Poirier has been making some serious waves in the UFC in 2021 and is currently the favorite to win this bout and steal the Championship away from Oliveira.
There’s also UFC Vegas 45 due to take place on December 18th, and although the fight card has yet to be confirmed, we are likely to see Derrick Lewis attempt to make his way back to title contention by fighting heavyweight master Chris Daukaus. Daukaus has won the last five of his fights, so Lewis will have to put on the showing of a lifetime to achieve his ambition.
We are also likely to see welterweight up-and-comer Belal Muhammed continue his climb towards a fight with the Karate “Wonder-boy” Stephen Thompson. The APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada will be buzzing with activity on December 18th whatever the final fight card turns out to be, and these fights will make for some amazing bets.

SOFTSWISS Joins Pink October Movement
SOFTSWISS, a global tech company with over 15 years of expertise in iGaming, supports the global Pink October initiative to attract attention to preventing breast cancer.
This year’s Pink October campaign at SOFTSWISS is themed “A Minute Today, a Future Ahead” and emphasises the importance of early detection and preventative care. Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women, and early diagnosis is key in the fight against the disease. When it is noticed early, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%.
Early detection involves doing monthly breast self-exams and planning regular clinical breast exams and mammograms. Half of the 2,000 SOFTSWISS employees are women, and the company will refund each of them for ultrasounds and mammograms in October and November.
Pink October at SOFTSWISS offers a wide range of activities throughout the month. In addition to reimbursing for medical examinations, an online webinar on mental health will provide valuable insights for those who face the disease. To support the international charity movement “Butterfly Support Mission”, women from SOFTSWISS will take part in a themed race.
The company’s employees also personally support the initiative. To further raise awareness, prominent female influencers from the SOFTSWISS community share information about the campaign across social media, amplifying the message of self-care and vigilance.
“Health is a crucial value beyond everything. Here, at SOFTSWISS, we aim to help and support our employees’ well-being and health every day. By promoting the Pink October initiative, we want to stress the importance of well-timed self-care and make this issue visible both within the iGaming industry and beyond,” shares Chief Marketing Officer at SOFTSWISS, Valentina Bagniya.
Notably, the iGaming industry recognised SOFTSWISS’ strong dedication to ensuring the best working conditions for its employees. A few weeks ago, SOFTSWISS received the esteemed accolade “Employer of the Year” at the SBC Awards.
Supporting the Pink October initiative for the second year in a row, SOFTSWISS continues to lead by example, emphasising the importance of preventive health measures and community support. Through this initiative, the company hopes to inspire its employees and society to take action today for a healthier tomorrow.
