LAS VEGAS - Missouriar -- October is the sweet spot for bettors — a month where every major sport collides. The NFL is in full swing, the NBA and NHL tip off new seasons, and the MLB playoffs turn every pitch into theater.

But some of the most interesting action, according to Bookmakers Review, may not be on the field at all.

In its latest feature — Five Intriguing Bets to Make in October 2025 — senior analyst Frank Ammirante spotlights unconventional markets where savvy bettors are finding surprising value. These include wagers on the Microsoft World Excel Championships, the price of Bitcoin at year's end, the next CEO of Disney, and even Donald Trump's approval rating on November 1.
