What is Virtual Speedway Betting?

Speedway is a sport for the real motor racing enthusiast. Less glossy and commodified than its Formula One cousin, the bikes are a true aficionado’s choice. But what about when the action stops? If you’re looking for some action in between real-life races, let us here at Betfred Insights guide you through Virtual Speedway.

What is it? What markets can I bet on? Is it fair? We have answers to all those questions and more, so grab your helmet and join us on the track.

What markets can you bet on in Virtual Speedway?

Much like the flesh-and-blood sport, Virtual Speedway offers a range of markets beyond just the simple winner’s category.

You can bet on the runner-up or place an each-way bet, as in horse racing. You can also place a Forecast or Tricast bet, where you predict the order the riders will finish. Tipster’s Favourites are available in these categories as well as predictions. 

There is also the Any 7 market, in which punter’s can bet on whether the numbers of the top two-placed riders add up to seven. 

How does it work?

Races take place frequently, usually every three minutes. This allows the punter more options than traditional Speedway, where the races are far less frequent. Due to its virtual nature, the races are never postponed or cancelled. No signs of a wet track here.

Our riders never withdraw either, a consequence of their fictional nature. Rather than real-life stars like Jason Crump and Greg Hancock, our virtual version includes fictional speedsters like Clinton Blisters, Bill Wardrobe and Terry Adronicus. No non-riders amongst that galaxy of superstars.

Despite their existence elsewhere in the multiverse, players can get a full rundown of each rider’s ratings, predicted position and win returns. 

You can watch the race unfold for that air of authenticity or, if you prefer, you can skip straight to the result. 

Is it fair?

Virtual Speedway, as with all our virtual games, is completely fair. A third-party body rigorously checks our games, which are operated via a random number generator to ensure a fair result. 

A consequence of the game’s virtual nature is the fact there is no form guide to study. With the riders being fictional, there are no real-life factors to base their potential performance off. This gives Virtual Speedway an element of pot-luck. 

It is a less detailed betting experience, but offers pick-up-and-play simplicity for the punter. You needn’t have knowledge of the sport of Speedway to play.
