The Sports Betting Calendar Part 2 – What to Bet on from May to August

To check out the betting options from January to April, click here to review The Sports Betting Calendar Part 1.

You can also view the four months of the year from September through to December by clicking the link to The Sports Betting Calendar Part 3.

This is part two of our series of posts giving you a detailed sports betting calendar for the year.

Detailed on the calendar are the major sports events that take place at various points of the year, together with the rough time they take place either each year, biannually or every four years or similar.

We have used the start date for the majority of sports events as the point at which they are noted down in the calendar, rather than the final etc.

For example, the World Snooker Championship starts in April but the final is always in May, but in the calendar, this would appear under April.

As always, you can enjoy betting on all these events, and many more besides, throughout the year at bet365 Sport.
