What do you know about bookmakers? What are the services they offer? Let’s try to answer these questions. Bookies’ customers are sports fans and people who are simply interested in sporting events, who make bets to benefit or just to have fun. One shouldn’t think of sports betting as a simple way to get rich. Actually, predicting the outcome of a game is extremely difficult. There are many factors that affect the result of the game – physical conditions and morals of players, their motivation, mood, the referee, the weather and so on. An undoubted leader may become a loser in a second. Bookmaking offices try to offer as many sports and variations of bets as possible, to provide for bettors’ demands. Football holds the first line in the popularity chart, then come hockey, basketball, tennis, Formula 1 racing competitions. Bets on the games played by local teams are quite frequent. If you make a bet and your prediction comes true – you win, if not – the bookie gains the advantage.
