Sumo Betting: Available at Batery.win (Fbet)

You might not have heard of Sumo betting, but you have heard of this ancient Japanese sport. Sumo wrestling is the national sport of Japan, featuring distinctive styles that keep the sport alive. Wrestlers, known as Rikishi, train for years to perform their explosive throws and technique. Their size and power truly set the stage for a clash of titans in the dohyo (sumo ring). Being a foreign sport that doesn't make headlines much in Canada, bettors might shy away from betting on the sport (it's not like

betting on boxing). However, at Fbet, we pride ourselves on simplifying betting for our customers. The same goes for sumo betting, and our sportsbook makes it easy to place bets on this Japanese sport. We have consolidated all tournaments into a single, convenient location within our sportsbook to make it easy to explore the best sumo odds and support your favorite fighters.

The Rules of Sumo Wrestling

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of the sport, you must first understand how it works. Sumo wrestling rules are quite interesting, though they may seem unusual to many who are seeing them for the first time. Notably, there are no weight classes in sumo, which might seem surprising for a sport of this nature. Wrestlers of various sizes compete against one another, with each size bringing its unique advantages. A lighter wrestler may leverage agility and speed to their benefit, while a heavier wrestler can overpower an opponent using their weight. The rules themselves are straightforward: a match is won when one wrestler forces the other to touch the ground with any part of their body (other than the soles of their feet) or to step outside the straw ring. However, some actions are prohibited, such as eye gouging, hair pulling, grabbing the groin, choking, or punching with a closed fist. Open-handed slaps and pushing against the opponent’s throat are permitted.

How to bet on Sumo

Each year, there are six major sumo tournaments known as 'honbasho.' The top sumo wrestlers from around the world compete in these honbasho over 15 days, and the wrestler with the highest number of victories at the end of the tournament is crowned the champion. Sumo, much like most fighting sports, has an array of betting markets for bettors that you can find readily available on our platform with great odds:

  • Winner: Bet on which rikishi you think will win the match.
  • Yobidashi: Predict which wrestler will be the first to be called out for a false start (Chui)
  • Kimarite: Wager on the specific winning technique used by the victor.
  • Handicap: For mismatched fighters, we offer handicap bets where the favorite is disadvantaged.
  • Outrights: Bet on which rikishi will win a tournament

Assess the Wrestler Profiles

If you want an edge over other bettors, you have to do your research. Here are some factors to consider before betting: Rank (Banzuke): Higher-ranked wrestlers (yokozuna, ozeki, etc.) are usually favored. Recent Performance: Check a wrestler's recent win-loss record. Head-to-Head Record: Review past match outcomes between the wrestlers. Injury Status: Keep an eye on injuries that could impact performance.

Keep Up with Sumo Updates

Always be informed by checking out the latest news about sumo. You can use resources like: Japan Sumo Association website (https://www.sumo.or.jp/En/) provides wrestler profiles, rankings, and tournament schedules. Reading News articles Following your favorite fighters on social media

Consider External Influences on Matches

Every bettor knows to check the weather before a football game to see if it will affect their team's chances. However, in sumo, players should keep an eye on dohyo conditions. Slippery surfaces can benefit wrestlers who use push-and-pull techniques.
