Sports Betting

While browsing I ran across a wiki page that breaks down sports betting. http://wapedia.mobi/en/Sports_betting
Judging from the writers perspective he does not live in a state where sports betting is legal, such as Nevada.
Growing up in Nevada allowed me to grow up with a unique perspective in relation to all gambling activities, not just sports related. That perspective is of course to treat gambling as entertainment.

If someone wished to pursue gambling for more than simple entertainment, this wiki breaks down a lot of the slang and lingo often heard around sports books and or bookies.
The one thing to keep in mind is this: Most sports bettors are overall losers as the bookmakers odds are fairly efficient.
