When betting on sports, and in particular, when betting on football, keep your wits about you. Both the sportsbook and the sport itself have many nuances which could be seen as betting traps. They are, by design, there to ensure the bookies win and you lose. That's why it's so essential that you put in the time and energy into, not only checking out the online sportsbook and their incentives but also the details of the football teams themselves. Being a favourite is no reason to bet on them.

After falling into gambling debts, a clever punter decided to exploit the time delay between live action in sports and the showing of it on TV. The delay was large enough for his team to place wagers after they had seen the final result, but before this data had reached the sportsbook. Ever the entrepreneur, he recruited a number of players from around China to help him, sending them to Europe in order to place wagers on various sporting events. They managed to amass around $4 million.
