The oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag have been working overtime tracking down and pricing events for the betting public to wager on. During this unprecedented time with most of the world’s major sports shut down this is quite a challenge. One new market you’ll find on the BetOnline.ag betting board is something that is relatively common in many parts of the world: financial market betting. Over the next few days, I’ll try to provide some analysis of these bets and hopefully come up with a few winning positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No big surprise, but the major financial markets of the world have taken a big hit during the Coronavirus crisis. That includes the US where all three major averages have experienced significant losses. What is a bit more surprising is how it has happened–instead of a straight downward spiral trading in the US markets have been almost ridiculously volatile<\/a> with huge swings both up and down of over 1000 points a day. The end of last week is a perfect look at the market in microcosm. On Thursday, the DJIA suffered it’s largest one day loss since ‘Black Monday’ in 1987<\/a>. On Friday, the same average experienced the biggest single day gains since the financial crisis of 2008. For the week, however, the DJIA was down 10% with other markets experiencing similar losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the interesting components of the BetOnline.ag stock market props is that you’re not being asked to peg the direction of the market on a specific day. Here’s an example:<\/p>\n\n\n\nHILTON HOTELS STOCK PRICE ON MARCH 31 CLOSE (HLT)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
