Sports betting

 Sports betting


It is an activity that predicts sports results and bets on the results. The

frequency of sports gambling varies from culture to culture, and most

gambling takes place in football, American football, basketball, baseball,

hockey, track cycling, car racing, mixed martial arts, and boxing at the

amateur and professional levels. Sports betting can also be extended to

non-athletic events such as reality show contests and political elections, as

well as non-human events such as horse racing, greyhound racing, and

chicken fights. It is not uncommon for sports betting websites to offer bets on

entertainment events such as Grammy Awards, Oscars, and Emmy Awards.


Sports betting companies make bets legally, through bookmakers/sports

books, or illegally through private-run companies called "bookies." The term

"book" refers to books used by wage brokers to track gambling, dividends,

and debt. Many legitimate sports books are found online, operated over the

Internet in separate jurisdictions from their customers, and usually roam

through various gambling laws (such as the U.S. 2006 Illegal Internet

Gambling Enforcement Act) in some markets, such as Las Vegas and

Nevada, or through gambling cruises through self-service kiosks. They make

a "prepaid" bet, which means that the betting man has to pay a sports book

before making a bet. Illegal bookings can be operated anywhere due to the

nature of their business, but they only need money that has lost the betting

person, and there is a possibility that they will owe money from the betting


person to the booking person because they do not ask for money in advance.

This creates many different criminal elements, thus deepening their illegality.


A number of sports betting 스포츠토토 scandals have occurred that affect the integrity of

sports events through various actions such as point-cutting (players' missed

shots), spot fixing (players' behavior is fixed), misjudgment by key moment

officials, and overall match fixing (event results are fixed). Examples include

the 1919 World Series, former baseball player Pete Rose, and former NBA

referee Tim Donagie.
