    mainly because of the almost endless wagering options both pre-match and live wagering

    They can't bet the American Sports due to the time difference 12 hrs with East Coast. So when it is 1 to 8 pm in the US (when sports are played) it is 1am to 8 am in China. No one is going to stay up all night betting NBA and MLB live.

    Soccer is not the most popular sport in China though. It's either basketball or table tennis

    It's the top football league in China, why would it be impossible ?

    Of course much easier to follow the league if you're Chinese but many third party providers like sportradar can do most of the heavy lifting for you if you're a bookmaker

    Because Chinese people are more interested in table tennis and Indians more into cricket

    Korea and Japan have a few good golfers but seems almost zero interest in those two sports in China

    Misspoke here. China's definitely had some success in women's tennis over the years including a grand slam winner (Li Na)

    Well 1 it's the most popular sport in the world, 2 there's about 90 minutes of live bets available and props and 3, if you're in the know, much like in low level tennis, the fix can be in!

    You ever seen a Chinese fire drill?

    Not exactly good at organization....

    2 of the oldest civilizations in the world still have 70% of their population up to their knees in rice pattys 18 hours a day surviving on tainted water and 1600 calories of bug meat per day.

    Also they're socialist/ communist govt

    It is not the most popular but it is very popular. I lived in China and the games are packed and it is a huge event. It is very big there. NBA is much bigger though.

    Only 5% have to be interested to make it a huge sport.
