Due to issues of legality, sports betting has always had a seedy reputation with the UK general public. All that gradually changed with the introduction of new betting legislation. Up until the late 1980s, most betting was done in dingy betting shops which littered high streets up and down the country. But a new look, coupled with more betting options, meant that sports betting slowly became more respectable. The final chapter to acceptance comes with the timely introduction of the internet.

With huge advancements in the technology behind both the internet and mobile device platforms, we can see that online gambling will be more or less continuously changing over the oncoming years. Though the nature of the actual casino games may stay the same, with a dependence on luck and the physical limitations of our own bodies, the way they are accessed and played will be very different. For sports betting, there are going to be some big changes ahead, especially in how wagers are laid.
