You guys are forgetting Boxing. That draws huge money across the globe in wagers.

What about sex. You have 2 sides facing off. One side trying to score and the other side trying to block. The defense gets an extra bonus if married but the offense gets a bonus if they have money or are picking out a ring.

Soccer must be #1 for sure, when it comes to worldwide bets. All the world exept America follows soccer ^^
Horse Racing is the second, adrenaline and fast results, you can know the results of your bet in 10 minutes, pretty much like casino gambling.
Basket should be the 3th - Even in Europe we follow basket a lot! We have our own leagues where we bet, and then the world known NBA.

The others vary from season to season, I guess.

And Tennis is not close to the top5, it's a game that doesnt draw as much attention as big team games.

Horses almost certainly number one simply due to the number of races they have each day. Betfair could easily offer markets over 100 horse races most days.

Rugby? surely you jest.
