Football has gone hand in hand with gambling since time began, but what has changed over the years?
Human nature has always been intrigued with winning ‘easy money’ and football along with horse racing historically were the ways that this could be done. In the early days this was just betting on the winning team or the first horse past the post.
Horse race betting really hasn’t changed very much, but the way you can find bets on Football and a whole host over sports is phenomenal now. You can win money on how many corners, yellow cards, red cards or even how many tackles there are.
There was a time when the only way you could win money on a bandit, roulette table or a game of cards was to get your Dinner Suit on and make your way to a Casino.
How times have changed, all you need to do now is log on to a site like NetBet Casino and you have access to slots, cards, dice games and as many forms of roulette as you can shack a stick at.
Betting and gambling will always be a part of life, I am sure football betting will adapt even more. I can only imagine how those few people who put a bet on Wigan Athletic winning the FA Cup at the beginning of the 2012/13 season felt when it came in at 1000/1.
With that I am also sure that the online casinos will also find many interactive way for people to get that adrenalin buzz from that big win on the cards, tables or slots…. and to be fair, no matter which is your preferred way to win money, you nearly always get a first time bonus on the best sites.
