Betting on sports is the act of placing a bet on the outcome of a sporting event and predicting the result. The typical frequency of sports wagers varies greatly by country, with most bets being placed on sports events which are regularly held like soccer, basketball, baseball etc. In countries where professional games are regularly played, like in the USA, the frequency of wagers on such events is pretty high. The game of cricket is very popular in America and is almost as much a passion as football. Cricket is played in almost every populated corner of America, from the small dusty suburbs to the largest cities, and people go to all the different ball games because of cricket.

Another popular form of betting on sporting events is called spread betting. This form of betting, also known as ‘beating the spread’, is all about taking the difference between the actual final score and the predicted final score. In this type of betting, the bookies try to take the difference between the actual final score and the total predicted final score before the match or event takes place. This is done by drawing up a spread, that is the difference between the actual final score and the predicted final score. The spread is not taken on all the matches but rather only on the matches which fall within the range of the actual final score.

One more betting form used frequently in America is the ‘click to return to table of contents’. This form of betting allows bookmakers to offer bettors points for every consecutive hundred bets they make. For example, a bettor who makes five bets, and then backs out one more, and then bets three more, would now earn five points. If he bets again and wins, he gains another five points.
