We may be nursing a Christmas hangover, but the sports betting calendar i𝓰s instantly firing on all cylinders.

January also sees major tournaments in tennis, snooker, and golf. The Australian Open is the first Grand Slam of the year, won by Jannik Sinner. The second💞 triple crown event in the snooker season, the Masters (also played at Ally Pally), is also in January — last won by Ronnie O’Sullivan.

February — American Takeover
It’s all about the sports from across the pond with massive events and great betting opportunities to punt on. These are the NHL all-star game, the Daytona 500, and the biggest of all — Superbowl LVIII (58)𒁏. They are all s🐓olid options for betting on something slightly different from the norm.

March — Cheltenham & the Oscars
By far the biggest betting opportunity of the month is th𝓡e Cheltenham Festival, consisting of four days of super competitive horse racing action. On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, the Oscars pose a great chance to place some novelty bets.
March Madness is also huge in the US and the bracket alone is a typical bet to place — although it’s a massive stab in the dark. Even after that, the 67 basketball games over three weeks are perfect betting options, especially for in-play bets.
