Why bookmakers use the circled game?
Circled game is an expression that is commonly used in sports betting and betting shops to refer to a game for which only a limited number of bets are accepted.
Limitations in the allowable number of bets are most often caused by certain uncertainties in important aspects relating to a competition. Thus, bookmakers try to protect themselves from unnecessary risk.
Important issues include bad weather, injuries to key players, transfer of a competition to another date, and everything like that.
