Sports betting is the wide-ranging leisure or professional interest involving the prediction of sports results via means of making a wager on the outcome of a contest. The contest may involve teams, individuals or animals (horse racing, greyhound racing) and can range between sports, entertainment or politics.
Sports betting has been around for ages. In Roman times, records show that betting on gladiatorial contests and chariot racing was widespread. Imagine wagering on who was going to win a gladiatorial contest and if a loser would be spared or executed by Caesar - what a parlay that would be!
Today of course, competition takes place within the confines of a less aggressive 'games' culture. To be successful, that is to become semi-professional or professional and make money over the longer term, you will need to put in a fair degree of work.
The professional will often be a contrarian bettor and will put in a lot more analysis than the recreational bettor. The pros analyze, gather information and ultimately attempt to find an edge through value, that is, finding a point spread or money line that is slightly in their favor when compared against a team's true chances of success.
