Football Gambling - The Rise and Rise of Football Betting
The UK Betting and Gambling Blog editor Jo has chronicled the Rise and Rise of Football Betting
Jo goes on to say :: In the Times Online Tony Cascarino writes that "betting on football could be up at least 250% in the UK - perhaps 1000% globally - spurred on by its fascination by Asian big-hitters".Gamblog Comment :: The latter rise in the rise and RISE of football betting occured when the bookies started to allow win singles on any match, rather than win singles in the Cups and Internationals only.
Bets of �100,000 - �1 million are not uncommon anymore as football has taken over from horses as the sport to bet on.
Why? As Cascarino correctly points out - simply because on football, there are only 3 results - home win, away win (ie Lose) or draw. None of those 16 horse handicaps, no chance of jockeys pulling up before the line, no possilbility of the horse going lame to spoil the bet.

Always knew it would. A Minimum of 5 homes teams was quite ridiculous. Old timer UK football gamblers will certainly know what I mean.
