Virtual Sports Betting at William Hill
Whatever the time of the day, there's generally a sport to bet on at William Hill that is taking place shortly.
Greyhound betting can be completed in the morning, there's horse racing on offer throughout the afternoon and sometimes the early evening, football of some description is being played in the evening and then a mixture of US sports for the insomniacs awake during the night.
However, should your preference be towards betting on a solitary sport, the wait between events can be lengthy.
The good news if your chosen sport is horse racing, greyhounds, football, cycling, motor racing or speedway is that an option does exist that allows you to place your bets and watch the results pretty much 24 hours of the day.
Virtual sports betting is available constantly with William Hill, where races and matches take place as frequently as every two minutes in certain sports.
Read on to get the lowdown on all of the different virtual sports markets on offer at William Hill, alongside some tips on how to make the most of your virtual sports betting experience.
Virtual horse racing
Whether you're placing your virtual horse racing bets on the 2f sprints on the flat, or the 3,000m stamina tests of the jumps, on the sand of the all-weather or the good going on the turf, new virtual races are always taking place.
Watch the horses walk around the parade ring before wading in with your bets, with the options of backing your choice to win or finish in the first three (each-way bets are paid at 1/5 of the odds).
There's forecast and tricast options too, if you're brave enough to attempt to predict the first two or first three finishers in the correct order.
Virtual greyhounds
Watch to see if your selection pings the lids and wins the race to the first bend – if they do, this has to be an advantage to making a successful virtual greyhounds bet.
There's both flat and jumps greyhound races to get involved in, while a number of different betting possibilities exist.
These range from the straight winner, to a reverse forecast, to the combination tricast.
Virtual football
Whereas real professional football matches can provide bettors with over 200 different markets to get stuck into, there is more than simply match betting to enjoy in the virtual environment.
Go one step further by making a virtual bet on the total goals that will be scored in a specific match or enjoy even larger virtual odds by backing the correct score.
There's even a match result summary at the end to clear up all of the game stats and whether your virtual football bet was a winner or not
Virtual cycling
Bradley Wiggins and Chris Hoy won't be getting their legs pumping in the virtual velodrome, but there are the likes of Kermit Knowles and Wesley Justice to get the pedals turning instead.
Races are contested over three laps, with six cyclists competing in each showcase. There's the opportunity to bet win or each way in every race.
Virtual speedway
Staying on two wheels, but without the pedals and brakes, six bikes line up hoping to powerslide their way to victory around the speedway track.
All speedway races feature four competitors and your task is to attempt to place a virtual speedway bet on the winner.
Virtual motor racing
Our virtual motor racing betting opportunities are open all hours, with drivers including Granville Arkwright, Elvis Priestley and Jack Danielson all climbing behind the wheel to test the speed of their cars over one lap.
Devilgate Drive is among the tracks hosting the action, with the circuits more resembling Daytona than the Circuit de Monaco
There are no chicanes or tight turns to boost the need for additional handling skill among the 12 drivers in every race. Will you be betting win or each-way?
Virtual sports betting strategies
Regardless of the event in question, the virtual sport betting strategies pretty much repeat across them all.
Has The Pink Panter got the stamina for the next greyhound race? Will Turf Love cope with the differing horse racing course conditions of the all-weather?
These types of facts will be unknown until after the race in question, but some facts are clear before the off.
Among these are starting price, a number and colours, whether this be a team kit, jockey silks or one of the animals taking part in a virtual race.
Most people have a lucky or meaningful number, whether it be the age of a child, the date within a month that they were born or a number that genuinely brings them good luck. Why not plump for this number on one of our virtual sports?
Whether a favourite colour is black, white or something in between, there are bound to be jockeys, cyclists or racing cars coloured among similar lines. This could prove a viable strategy towards making a virtual sports bet.
Alternatively, why not base your virtual sports betting strategy on how much you want to make from a winning selection? The bigger the price, the larger the possible windfall.
Virtual sports betting tips
There's nothing virtual about the offers over on our sports betting promotions page .
Especially on the subject of virtual football, it can be easy to overplay real-life fact ahead of making a bet.
For example, if Spain were facing Nigeria in a legitimate international friendly, it would be easy to fall into the trap of backing the former on account of them being widely considered the better team.
Should Spain then be priced at 6/5 to beat Nigeria in a virtual football fixture, the easy conclusion would be that this is a good bet.
However, what's true in real life has no bearing on virtual, so a good virtual sport betting tip is to avoid using real-life knowledge as evidence for making a virtual bet.
Another virtual sports piece of advice is to watch the highlights once an event begins.
The action video and the in-play commentary may help should you need to locate the whereabouts of your horse or whether your motor racing selection is winning a race or flagging in stone last.
Finally, a wise tip is to enjoy it.
