It has been over a month-and-a-half since most sporting events worldwide were suspended due to the covid-19 outbreak.  However, sports in certain areas of the world continue to be played and sportsbooks have adjusted to allow sports bettors to make wagers on the  those events.

Table tennis or ping pong is not a traditional sport that many sports bettors are used to wagering on but during this time we live in, sports bettors can wager on both teams and individual players in Eastern European and Russian leagues, as well as in Asia.

The world's most popular sport, soccer continues to be played in certain places around the world. One such place is Belarus as the Belarus Premier League continues with its schedule. In addition, other soccer leagues such as the top-flight league in Nicaragua are being played as are leagues in Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. The Nicaraguan top league is playing its semifinals this weekend and the two-leg final will be played next week.

Ice hockey continues to be played in Russia. Liga Pro and Comet Division are two ice hockey leagues playing games in empty arenas across Russia. In Asia, the Chinese-Taipei SBL basketball league has started as has the Nicaraguan Torneo and games can be wagered at online sportsbooks. In addition, Tajikistan Champions Cup volleyball is also being played each week.

Horse racing has continued in areas of the United States at tracks such as Gulfstream Park, Oaklawn Park, Tampa Bay Downs, Remington and Los Alamitos amongst other venues. Tracks such as Gulfstream Park have racing cards on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday each week for sports bettors to wager on. International horse racing continues in Australia, New Zealand. Greyhound racing is also available to bet on.

For the traditional sports bettors, plenty of wagers can be made on the futures boards on sportsbooks such as picking the winner of Super Bowl LV, the winner of the 2021 college football national championship, the 2020 NBA champion, the 2020 World Series champion and 2021 NHL Stanley Cup champion amongst several individual players props in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and NCAA football and basketball
