Despite some sceptics at the very beginning, virtual football has only increased in popularity since it first arrived on the scene.

As with the real game, this variation now has plenty of betting markets available for those of you who want to take a punt on computer-generated matches. Watch the action play out right in front of your eyes here at talkSPORT BET, and enjoy both our virtual football betting league and cup offerings.

At talkSPORT BET, there are two main virtual football betting competitions. You have Virtual Football Cups and Virtual Football leagues.

Virtual Football Cups

The Football Euro Cup has matches that take place every two minutes. These are games between European national teams, much like the UEFA European Championship in real-world football.

Virtual Football Leagues

talkSPORT BET also has the Football Club league, which consists of fixtures between fictional club sides. Here you can bet on teams such as the Chelsea Pensioners, Manchester Blues, Mersey Blues, and countless others.

Virtual football is just football in computerised form, so essentially, the main markets are the same. Here are some of the top virtual football betting markets to bet on:

Match Betting

The most popular virtual football betting market is predicting the match winner. Virtual football odds are available for every game that takes place at talkSPORT BET.

Over/Under Goals

Just like in real football, backing over/under goals is also popular in virtual football betting. You can also predict the total goals and take advantage of handicap betting.

Correct Score

 As the name suggests, this market involves guessing the final score of a match after 90 minutes.

Tips for Betting on Virtual Betting

It goes without saying but, as with betting on mainstream physical sports, there are no guarantees in virtual betting.

As always, it's important to set a limit and manage your bankroll. Limiting your bets can enhance your experience and enjoyment, and potentially help to minimise losses, too.
