Sports betting combines 2 of our most favorite pastimes, sports and gambling, everyone has their own opinion about predicting the outcome of any sports event and betting allows them to put their money where their mouth is and bet on the outcome. At the most basic it is 2 differing views on the result of a game and having a small wager to confirm your conviction that your point of view is correct, usually high profile games attract most sports betting whether its friends with a drink in front of the TV or professional gamblers, all of this combines to make the friendly fun we call sports betting
A Warning
Sports betting can be exciting and fun however it should be treated as purely entertainment. I encourage people to gamble sensibly and say only gamble with money you can lose, It is entertainment, keep it that way.
Why Bet On Sports

How To Bet On Sports
Simply put this is 2 friends arguing over a game and betting each other on the outcome.

What Sports Can You Bet On.
Any sport can be bet on, without gambling there would probably be less sport. Think about it, sport really is gambling, essentially its one person saying to another I can get there faster than you, if you replace the 'I can' with 'I bet I can' you will get the picture so you can bet on all sports.
How It Works.
Sportsbooks work with statistics to decide what odds to set, basically the less likely the chance of a result the more you will win if it happens its like our 2 friends betting, John says team A will win, Dave says team B will win and the bet $5 each, John is so convinced that Team A will win he offers Dave $10 if team B wins - that is what bookmakers do in a more sophisticated way Sportsbooks facilitate strangers betting against each other by using all the money bet on an event to pay out those that win.
