Betting on horses is a time-honoured, traditional way to wager. People have been pitting the speed and skills of their best horses and riders against one another for centuries. This sport dates back to the days of Mongol Kings, when no other race (excuse the pun) even used domestic horses as a means of transportation as yet. Betting on horses and horse racing has always been the sport of Kings, until this sport fell under an authority structure in the UK first, just a couple of hundred years ago. At this point in time the bookie found ways to spilt the bet and offer odds, so, that ordinary people could also play. The sport hasn't looked back since, and is still one of the most popular spectator sports to be found world-wide. In some countries it only comes second in the popularity stakes to soccer.
In UK, betting on horses is an extremely popular sport. The racetrack tote was where it all started; this has spread country-wide to betting shops situated in every village, town and city. From betting shops it only took a short leap of faith to become one of the favourite sports betting activities to take place online. It's not illegal to leave the bookmaker with more money than you started, in fact when betting on horses online, or anywhere, this is the name of the game.
While traditional race track and High Street bookie wagers have not been thrown out of the betting shop window, online and mobile sports betting is become the most popular way to play. Mobile betting on horses and on other sports too, looks like the way of the future. It has hit the internet big time, and this just might be the way, you would prefer to play – you don't have to set a foot on the track.
Betting on horses is not a random gambling game, it's a game of skill. The punter needs to know what they are doing in order to win. It's about studying racing forms and indeed the racing form of the horse, jockey, trainer, track and even the owner. All of these plus many other variables see that the punter wins by using some sort of system. There are patterns in these variables and while it takes a little time getting used to, it's easy to start seeing patterns with just a little practice. It is fun, it is an intelligent way to risk money and a punter with a good system for betting on horses has a chance of making good money.
The most wonderful thing about betting online is that there are so many more opportunities to do this for less money. Bookmaking sites offer bonuses for making deposits, rebates, freebies and other goodies too. The only way to know if you might like it - is to actually give it a try. Online betting on horses takes place across the world also through betting exchanges, so when you start examining possibilities, explore every avenue you can. |

While footie teams never seem to have trouble getting sponsors, it is not often we see the rugby lads getting sponsored by the big sports betting brands. The English rugby league club Salford City Reds, has just cut themselves a deal with Betfred. Betfred operates an online sports book, casino, bingo, poker, lotto and mobile gambling site, as well as a high street retail sports book business. Salford City Reds were founded in 1873 and they currently play in the Super League. This is top-notch professional rugby football league club competition which features twelve teams in total, from the UK, from Wales and from France.
Fred Done is cofounder (with his brother) and who the company is named after; their very first establishment was a single bookmakers shop in Ordsall, Salford, established in 1967. He is notorious for losing £1 million to bookmaking and online casino competitor Victor Chandler. They placed a bet on Manchester United against Chelsea, man U lost, Victor Chandler won! Fred Done is obviously a massive Man United fan as he made history when he paid out early to punters on a Premier Manchester United win over Arsenal. However Arsenal pipped Man United to the finishing post by only one point.
Nevertheless, all that having been said, the Salford City Reds now have a sponsor for their stand, and for the duration of the sponsorship – the 2011 season, the club’s Shed; which is its stand at the Willows stadium, is to be renamed ‘Fred’s Shed.’ This is the last season Salford will be at home in the Willows Stadium, it is their 110th and last year – where they have played host to the Salford teams' faithful fans for many generations. They move next year to Barton-upon-Irwell and the new fifteen thousand capacity City of Salford Stadium.
Fred Done said he was proud of this sponsorship and the fact that it is taking place in the Salford Red's 110th year, because he is proud to be from Salford, as well as have his name on their shed. He also said that it would be an emotional departure from Willows Stadium, but that he was impressed with the new stadium and what John Wilkinson has planned for the rugby league club in the future. John Wilkinson was also dead chuffed to have the Betfred brand on the Shed for the final season, and believes this is a fitting tribute.
Betfred sponsors the Haydock Park Racecourse which includes an on-course betting shop, and they are the backer for the Group 1 Betfred Sprint Cup in September. They sponsor races at Kempton Park and looking to another fast four-legged animal; they are the main benefactors at both Owlerton Stadium, Sheffield and Nottingham Greyhound Stadium.
As we were saying earlier, the footie gets tons of sponsorship and Fred Done is a Manchester fan; Betfred is also the Wembley National Stadium official betting partner; recently extended for another 4 years. Just to balance out their rather busy marketing department, Betfred.com is the current sponsor of the World Snooker Championship. |
