Tour de France

The Tour de France is an annual bicycle race held mainly in France in July. It’s the most prestigious road cycling race of the three Grand Tours, first organised in 1903. The race’s route changes yearly, but the format is always the same: it takes place over three weeks and several stages. It starts with time trials and a passage through the mountains and traditionally ends on the Champs-Élysées.

Tour of Flanders

The Tour of Flanders is the top cycling race in Belgium, held annually since 1913. It’s part of the UCI World Tour and organised by Flanders Classic. The race includes 17 climbs and five cobblestone sectors, covering 270.8 kilometres. The women’s competition, also known as the Women’s Elite, covers 12 climbs and a total of 163 kilometres.

Milan -San Remo

The Milan-San Remo is an annual road cycling race that takes place in March. It’s another major race and part of the UCI World Tour, with a total distance of 298 kilometres. Also known as the Spring Classic or La Classicissima, the race involves cyclists racing between Milan and San Remo in one day.

Summer Olympics

Cycling has been an official sport at the Summer Olympics since the first edition in 1896. Road races and five-track competitions have always been part of the Olympics, but other types of races have also been included over the years. Mountain bike racing, BMX racing, and BMX freestyle are now part of the Olympics programme.

UCI Road World Championships

The UCI Road World Championships are a series of annual world championships organised by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). The championships involve several road racing events, mixed team relays, individual time trials, and junior races. Betting odds for the Cycling World Championship can be found at Betiton Ireland weeks before the events begin.

Paris-Roubaix

The Paris-Roubaix is a road cycling race held annually in northern France. It’s one of the oldest races in France, always starting from the north of Paris and ending in Roubaix. The race is also considered one of the classics in the European cycling calendar, and contestants earn points towards their UCI World Ranking in this race.

Giro d’Italia

The Giro d’Italia, or Tour of Italy, is the most important cycling race in Italy. It’s an annual multi-stage race held in Italy, although the route starts and passes through other countries as well. The Giro is another UCI World Tour event, and it’s been held annually between May and June since the first edition in 1909.

La Vuelta Espana

La Vuelta a España, or Tour of Spain, is the premier cycling race in Spain. Like the Giro, it has multiple stages and sometimes passes through neighbouring countries. In fact, the race was established in 1935, inspired by the success of the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia. The competition is held annually between August and September.

Tour of the Alps

The Tour of the Alps is another annual cycling race popular for cycling enthusiasts to follow and bet on. It was first held in 1962 and always occurs around April in Austria and Italy. Most of the race consists of short, mountainous stages and is often used as a preparation race ahead of the Giro d’Italia.

Liege-Bastogne-Liege

The Liege-Bastogne-Liege, also known as the La Doyenne, which translates to ‘The Old Lady’ is an annual classic road cycling race. It’s part of the UCI World Tour and one of the five monuments of the European competitive cycling calendar. It was first held in 1892, and it’s considered one of the toughest competitions due to its arduous course characterised by short, steep climbs.

Cycling Betting Markets

Cycling is a common sport to bet on in every casino in Ireland, although it may not be as popular as other sports like football or horse racing. Nevertheless, thousands of punters enjoy betting on cycling tours and competitions every year.

Cycling betting can be a diverse betting experience thanks to the existence of multiple cycling road betting markets. These include betting on the outright winner, the stage winner, head-to-head bets, and prop bets. Below, we’ve explained some of the most popular road cycling and cycling track betting markets available at Betiton Ireland.

• Outright Winner – The outright winner bet is a bet on a race or cycling competition winner. You can bet on the individual winner of a tour like the Tour de France, for example, or the winning team in a competition like the UCI Road World Championships. Outright betting is often the easiest way to bet on cycling if you’re a beginner because it’s the simplest market to understand.
• Stage Winner – Another common betting market in cycling betting is the stage winner. This is a bet on the winner of any specific stage of the race, i.e., the rider who completes that course in the shortest time. The stage winner market includes several bet types, like individual and team time trials.
• Accumulator Bets – Accumulator or ACCA betting is a specific cycling betting market, but a type of sports betting that can be done for this sport. It involves adding multiple selections to your betslip to get multiplied odds. Not every selection can be combined, but ACCA bets are more popular because they offer high payouts if every selection is successful.

Live Cycling Betting

At Betiton, you will also have access to live cycling betting. It’s an interesting way to bet on cycling tours while the event has already started. For many, it’s an even more exciting way to bet on the sport because it adds another layer of entertainment while rooting for your favourite cyclist or team.

Live betting differs from pre-match betting in various ways. First, it’s easier to predict the outcome as the race progresses. The further the race progresses, the easier it is to place a correct bet. However, the odds also decrease drastically, especially if you’re betting on the favourites. Both pre-match and in-play betting on cycling offer pros and cons, so it’s important to consider both before placing a wager.

Cycling Track Betting vs Cycling Road Betting

Two types of cycling betting are available at Betiton Ireland: cycling track betting and cycling road betting. If you want to bet on cycling properly, it’s crucial to understand the differences between the two before forming your betting strategy.

Below is a table comparing the two types of cycling:

🛣️ Road Cycling	🚵 Track Cycling
Road cycling refers to cycling on roads and streets, which means cyclists share the road with other vehicles.	Track cycling takes place on tracks specifically designed for this type of cycling.
Road cycling uses road bikes, which come with derailleurs and brakes.	The bicycle used is a track bicycle with only one gear and no breaks. Track bikes are also designed to speed around a velodrome.
Endurance is more important in road cycling because riders must endure long races.	Track cycling is more about speed and strength. Most track races are more tactical, requiring riders to sprint and reach high speeds in a short time.
Road bikes can be used on various terrains, with many having up to 24 gears available.	There’s no free-wheeling in track cycling because the bike has just one gear.

While there’s no sure way to place a correct cycling bet at Betiton Ireland, there are several tips and strategies you can consider applying to increase your chances of winning. Below, we’ve shared our top cycling betting tips.

6. Go for small wins and minimise risks by avoiding big bets. Always take the small profits when your bet is successful, and don’t be tempted to bet big for a chance to win more.
