Top 5 Smartwatch Sports Betting Apps

Smartwatches are the latest development in wearable technology, allowing their wearers to perform all of the functions essential to them without needing to lug a smartphone, tablet, or computer around with them. That level of convenience has extended to the world of mobile sports betting, with iOS and Android smartwatch apps allowing players to place wagers, check scores and get team news from their wrists.

Right now the only wearable sports apps available are for the Apple Watch but it's only a matter of time before these apps are also available for the Android smartwatches like the Samsung Galaxy Gear, Moto 360 and Sony SmartWatch.  These top five Apple Watch sports betting apps are great for not just placing bets, but tracking scores, getting live in-play odds, and researching picks.

DRAFTKING APPLE WATCH

While daily fantasy sports giants DraftKings and FanDuel have to insist that they are not sports betting apps to remain legal for players in the United States, their smartwatch sports software have made keeping track of your daily fantasy NBA, NHL and NFL football picks quick and easy.  The apps provide live updates on the performance of your lineups, as well as what place you are in across the daily fantasy contests at a given time, combining the urgency of instant updates in daily fantasy sports with the need to conveniently do so from a smartwatch.

​If you are looking for more detailed views of how each of your players are performing, you may prefer the sports betting app for Android or iPhone, but the instant updates of these smartwatch apps make them a must have.

​They also offer live score tracking, which is part of what makes mobile sports betting so enjoyable. Taking care of you both before and during the game, The Score's Apple Watch app is one of the more useful things that can adorn a sports bettor's wrist.

WILLIAM HILL SMARTWATCH BOOKMAKER

Oh, yeah, it would make sense that those looking to bet on sports would want a smartwatch sports betting app that would allow them to place bets from the smartwatch itself, and that is where William Hill comes in.

William Hill allows its players to place bets via the Apple Watch itself, making it one of the few online sportsbooks to offer that capability. They also offer live in-play smartwatch betting, which means that the action doesn't have to stop once a game kicks off, even if your iWatch is the only piece of technology on you at the time.

ESPN FOR APPLE WATCH

With an ability to provide pre-game content as well as live scores, ESPN's for Apple Watch offers similar benefits to The Score's, only with the backing of ESPN, which is the gold standard for sports content in this day and age.

Their live score coverage spans just about any sport and league imaginable as well, ensuring that you will be able to keep track of the score of your game no matter how obscure the league you are wagering on may be.
