Sports are one of the most important and globally enjoyed pastimes. In almost every single country, there is some form of sport or gaming-related activity prevalent, that the locals enjoy. Sport is so important in life that it has been the primary source of entertainment for millions of people over the years since the start of human history.

With the ancient Olympic games, to the modern worldwide competitions and even the innovative online sports of tomorrow; we have evidence of the way and the extent to which sports have made themselves integral to our lives. This has given rise to a number of opportunities to both people who want to be actively involved in the act of playing a sport, as well as those who want to benefit financially from it without actually having to participate in the game.

Sports Betting: The Significance and Involvement

It’s a well-known fact that betting is as integral a part of any major sport as the various rules that govern it and the players who compete in it. This has been so since the ancient times when in the spirit of fandom and competition, the spectators would start financially rooting on who would win.

There are various betting organisations that cater specifically to people who bet on sports, and they have a very well-set network inside the sport in question.

Take football for instance. There are many organisations and associations based in almost all major cities and even internationally, that organise the betting process for the people who are putting their money in the game. These organisations do all the record keeping while the players simply put in their money and if they are lucky, leave with sizable amounts. This makes it a very profitable business in general, and certainly one that involves a great deal of thrill, especially if you are a fan of sports and you want to benefit from it financially.

Sports Betting: A Sure-Fire Way to Increase your Bank Account Numbers

Betting on your favorite sport can be a very thrilling way to make money, especially if you thoroughly enjoy watching the sport. This is because the more you feel involved on a visual and mental level with the activity and the more passionate you are about it, the more you will enjoy benefitting from it financially. This will also increase your chances of benefiting from it, since you will know all the intricacies of the sport.

To that end, the following is a list of ways you and your bank account are sure to benefit from sports betting.

Knowledge of the sport leads to better betting results

Assuming that the sport you are betting on is something that you are very familiar with, and you know all the various indications that continue to demonstrate how the game is going to turn out; you can actually be quite successful at sports betting.

If we are to take the sport of football, there are hundreds, even thousands of people all over the world who have expertise in the game. This has led to football betting becoming a business worth an immense amount of money. There are dedicated organisations that cater to football betting, which can ultimately be your pathway towards a bigger, heftier bank account, if you keep at it with due diligence.

Less effort means more dedication

Since betting does not involve any physical exertion, unlike the actual sport which is being played, you can dedicate your entire mind to it. Betting demands that close attention be paid to the various emerging patterns and performance figures in the game. This will help in placing the right bets, which results in better payoffs. This is why it’s very advantageous for you, as an enthusiast of the sport, and someone who can put all their time and money into betting, to play the game in a way that is both comfortable and less physically taxing than the sport itself.

The payoffs can be HUGE!

If you have bet on a game before, you will undoubtedly have noticed that sometimes the payoff to the right bet can be immense, even amounting in the millions in some cases! The bigger the game and the more chances of a big upset there are, the more the payoff. Although it is a risky business in such a case, the rewards far outweigh the risks. Plus there is the thrill of putting your money where your mouth is and going all in for the one big bet that is sure to expand the boundaries of your bank account!

The Special One

Jose Mourinho won the English Premier League with Chelsea in the 2004/05 season. The self-proclaimed “special one” did this with a team that was complete. A team that had high calibre players including Claude Makelele and Frank Lampard in the centre. Arjen Robben and Damien Duff at the wings. And a solid back led by John Terry. It was team that would rarely concede in 90 minutes but had players who could score. By the end of the season Lampard with 13 goals was the team’s highest goal score. That season the blues only conceded 15 goals.

Ladies Day, a day to dress to the nines, wear a fancy feathered hat, drink some champagne and have a flutter on some thoroughbreds – well that was the idea. It’s becoming apparent year after year that Ladies Day is no longer about the racing and more and more about the ‘sesh’. With each passing event the drunken antics and horrendous clobber is getting worse.

We’ve made a list of the 10 things you can be sure of seeing at Cheltenham Festival Ladies Day:

Horrendous Clothes

The intention of Ladies Day was to give the fairer sex the chance to dress up in all of their finery to attempt to emulate the royals that attend (or at least, used to attend) the races. Over the past 10 years standards have dropped faster than a political manifesto. Demure dresses showcasing class and elegance have been replaced by neon pink designer knock-offs being worn 3 sizes too small, making the wearer look like a stringed up joint of pork. The battle of the platform heels will never be won until the wearers head is in orbit and the market stall bought ‘Mum’ rings will be plentiful.

Elaborate Hats/Headpieces

Wearing a hat or a headpiece has always been in the dress code for Ladies Day, and it’s evolution over the years has been driven by ladies desperation to out-do each other. Bows and feathers were a popular go-to for headpieces and hats in years gone by along with intricate designs and bright colours. Now you’re more likely to see a full English breakfast on someone’s head (yes, it has happened) or a 3D printed eulogy in the shape of a hat plonked on their barnet.

Drinking from the Bottle

As stated previously, Ladies Day used to be all about class and sophistication, sipping champagne out of a flute as you giddily cheer along the nag you’d backed at the tote. Ladies now don’t have time for a flute, they want the booze and they want it now. Usually pre-inebriated from downing £3 bottles of Pino Grigio on the coach journey the ladies arrive with a thirst that can only be quenched by chugging wine out of the bottle.

Hopefully Underwear

With the dresses growing smaller and the areas that protect their modesty becoming more elaborate there is a real danger of the ladies showing more than people would like to see. We say hopefully because some ‘ladies’ decide against undies and it’s a recipe for disaster. After a few beverages there is a lot of flesh flashing on Ladies Day so keep your wits about you and your eyes covered.

Bad Tattoos

Some people will tell you that any tattoo is a bad tattoo and we usually wouldn’t comment but in lots of circumstances we really do question the logic. You can be certain you will see someone with an absolute shocker in permanent ink. The customary boyfriends name or even the newly popular under-boob mandala aren’t too bad, but when you have the famous Ghandi quote “You must be the change you wish to see in the world” and you’re face first in the mud, legs akimbo with half a bottle of plonk spilled down you, you’re asking not to be taken seriously.

Fake Tan

It’s usually a given with the Ladies Day brigade that if she’s showing 98% of her body, chances are it’s going to be smeared in fake tan. You would think they would approach this cautiously to give off a healthy summer glow to enhance their image. You would be wrong though, very wrong, most of the time it looks like they we fathered by Umpa Lumpa’s, bathed daily in orange Tango, rolled around in Wotsits and still not satisfied with the colour submerged themselves in some cheap fake bake.

Fights

If you mix masses of alcohol, men, women and gambling all in the same place odds are it’s going to kick off. It could have been the smallest thing that started it off but once it starts it’s like a domino effect. Bottles and heel’s flying everywhere, hair being pulled and make-up smudged it’s usually quite an entertaining sight.

Litter

If you’ve ever been to Germany you will know exactly what clean looks like. In England we like to think we’re a tidy bunch but we’re no match for our pals on the continent. Nowhere is this more aptly shown than at the end of the day at the races. It’s about 3ft deep in wine bottles, plastic cups, fake eyelashes and dignity that’s been left behind.

Sitting on the floor

Due to the massive increase of the popularity of horse racing events such as Ladies Day seats are at an absolute premium. This leads to the thousands around the track without a chair sitting on the sloped toward the track concrete floor. After thinking about this it’s probably a good thing as ladies with a few glasses of vino down them are less stable than Shakey Jake. The only problem this leaves is it’s not a particularly brilliant sight for the passing jockeys & horses, a fair few thousand pairs of spread legs.

Horse Racing

If the previous nine points haven’t hit the spot then who knows, maybe since you’re at a racetrack the racing might be an interesting sight. Ladies Day usually has some spectacular racing all across the meetings in the UK so is well worth a visit.
