It is one of the most popular forms of gambling which includes wagers placed on sports events such as football, basketball, baseball, hockey, rugby, boxing, horse racing, car racing, tennis and many others. In recent year, sports betting have also been extended to non-athletic events such as reality shows contests, political elections, interest rates, beauty contests and underground fighting.
