What is a Simulated Reality League?
A Simulated Reality League SRL is a virtual sporting event simulating real-life conditions and mirroring expectations. Simulated reality leagues create virtual events that feel as close to real-life sports as possible, featuring real teams and players.
Developers use real-life statistics, historical data, and other information to create an algorithm that creates realistic game outcomes. Using the power of artificial intelligence and computer graphics imaging, these virtual matches can accurately reflect what you'd expect from real-life events. Most of these hyper-real sports simulations take place in real-time, taking 60-90 minutes, depending on the sport in question.
What Sports Have Simulated Reality Leagues?
Right now, Stake offers virtual simulated sports leagues for both soccer and cricket. These are the two most popular sports to bet on all over the world, but the main action is confined to a specific season. As a result, they’re perfect for running simulated reality leagues because the virtual events never stop for a summer or winter break.

Popular Types of SRL Bets & Betting Markets
You can place a whole host of bets on simulated reality leagues, including the following betting markets:
1x2: This betting market lets you bet on the home side (1), a draw (x) or the away side (2). For example, you might place a 1x2 bet on Napoli (1) to beat Bologna (2) in an SRL Serie A fixture.
Moneyline: A moneyline wager is a straight-up bet on the team you think will win a specific SRL fixture, with the possibility of a draw excluded. In many cricket matches, a Super Over is used to settle ties, so the Winner market is essentially a moneyline bet.
Draw No Bet: This is offered on virtual football and lets you bet on either side to win. In the event of a draw, the bet is cancelled, so your stake is returned.
Double Chance: Another soccer bet, this one allows you to choose 2 different match results. As long as one of the outcomes you choose occurs, your bet will win. For example, you could bet on a draw or Jeju United FC, and your bet will win if the match ends in a draw.
Handicap: A handicap bet is a match outcome bet with a handicap applied. For instance, if you back Rangers to beat Servette in the Europa League with a handicap of -1.5, they would need to win by 2 goals or more for your bet to payout. On the other hand, if you bet on Servette +1.5, they would need to avoid losing by 2 goals or more for your bet to win. Asian handicap bets are also possible, splitting your stake between the nearest whole and half lines.
Over/Under: An SRL over/under bet is a bet on the number of points, goals, or runs scored. For instance, you might place a wager on an SRL Super Lig matchup between Besiktas and Galatasaray to deliver over 3.5 goals. Asian totals are also available, with quarter lines that split your stake between the nearest whole and half lines.
Both Teams to Score: In SRL soccer matches, you can bet whether or not you think both teams will score during the match.
Correct Score: SRL soccer matches also let you bet on the final score of the match. You can bet on the correct score of the 1st half too.
Halftime/fulltime: This allows you to bet on the result of both halves. You can choose whether it will be a home side win, draw or away win for both halves.
Props: SRL proposition bets are wagers on events that aren’t tied to the end outcome of a particular fixture. So, in an SRL Big Bash match, you might place a prop bet on the first wicket-taker or the scorer of the first six in the contest.
Parlay: An SRL parlay is a bet on multiple outcomes in the same slip. So, for example, you could bet on Sri Lanka, England, and Bangladesh in a 3-way SRL T20 parlay. All three nations would have to win their international T20 for your bet to be successful. Similar to this, you can place same-game multi bets using our 'Bet Builder' function.
Live Simulated Reality League Betting & How to Live Stream SRL
At Stake.com, you’ll find plenty of pre-match betting and live betting markets on all SRL fixtures. Live betting gives you the opportunity to place bets while the match is in play. It works just like live betting on any other sport at Stake. Check the live scores and live stats to make an informed decision. Just make sure you move quickly to get the best odds. If you’re new to the concept of live sports betting, whether this be for virtual or real-life matches, check out our guide that explains the difference between pre-match and live betting online.

How Do Simulated Sports Differ from Esports?
Simulated sports leagues are very different from Esports. While both feature virtual competition, Esports events are contested between real players who are fighting to win. On the other hand, SRLs use data and random number generators to determine the outcome.
There’s also a much larger range of Esports to bet on at Stake, including FPS games like Counter-Strike 2, Overwatch 2 and Call of Duty, as well as MOBA games like Dota 2 and League of Legends. Check out our Esports betting guide if you're curious about learning more.
SRLs share some similarities with simulation sports, such as FIFA, eCricket and NBA2K. However, although they also simulate real sporting events, outcomes in these games are determined by the actions of the players.
Simulated Reality League Betting Strategies & Tips to Win
Here are some tips to bear in mind as you make your SRL league selections at the Stake Sportsbook:
Though it’s simulated, SRL is realistic and based on real-life sporting events. Therefore, you can research real-life leagues before placing SRL bets to help you pick winners. Analyse the historical sports data from each team, including any recent head-to-heads and current win/loss streaks.
Mix things up when betting on SRL events by placing different bet types and choosing from moneylines, parlays, and totals. SRL matches often produce consistent ranges in the total number of goals or runs scored, so it’s worth checking the odds of the over/under lines.
Focus on finding value rather than picking favourites. While betting on sports, value is where the odds are better than the true probability of the outcome. Underdogs with consistent patterns of scoring in most matches or drawing frequently often provide better value than simply picking the favourite to win.
Make the most of live betting when it’s available too. With live scores and stats provided, you can get an idea of how the match will play out. Look for strong attacking stats to bet on the next goal markets or total runs.
Simulated Reality League Betting Odds & Payouts Explained
As SRL uses an algorithm based on probability and real-life performances, the SRL odds available at Stake.com reflect actual sporting events. Before you start betting, it’s important to understand how to read betting odds and to know about the vig. This will help you find the best value and hopefully have more success too.
You can decide how to view the odds from your Stake.com account, choosing from fractions, decimals, or the American format.
