It is the new lottery category launched by relevant authorities and demanded by the PRC lottery market to meet the huge expected betting demand arising from the 2010 South Africa World Cup, 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games and the yearly NBA games in the USA. According to relevant statistical data, during the 2006 Germany World Cup, the Soccer Lottery, one of the Single Match Sports Betting categories, was sold at a significantly considerable volume, spiking during the entire game period. With dual impact from the 2010 South Africa World Cup and the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, numerous sports fans and 100 million lottery fans in China will sure increase the sales of Single Match Sports Betting lottery to a new summit. The full explosion of Single Match Sports Betting lottery sales can be looked forward to.
