In the modern world, you cannot find such a person who has never heard of bookmakers, sweepstakes and sports betting. But few people know what this phenomenon is and whether it is possible to get rich on it.
A bit of history
Tote has always been the most widespread; this system is much simpler than bookmaker lines. For the first time sports betting on the basis of the totalizator was fixed in ancient Rome. Then horse races and chariot races, the famous gladiator fights were very popular. It was on them that the first bets began to be accepted.
Modern sports betting
For a long time, there was only tote, the simplest form of betting. Participants put a fixed amount on the outcome of the event, and according to the results, the winnings are divided among all those who were able to guess the correct outcome.
Bookmakers offer a much wider range of events and options. Anyone can bet not only on the outcome, but also on the number of goals in football or hockey, and so on. They also paid attention to esports. Modern bookmaker lines offer up to 50 different betting options per event!
