Sports betting is the oldest form of gambling in the world. In the beginning, it was simply a leisure activity. We are currently talking about a multi-billion-euro deal. The sports betting industry has changed more in 15 years than in the last 50 years. In the 1950s, sports betting began to enter the world and almost nothing changed until the beginning of the 21st century. However, with the onset of the new millennium, online betting has changed the landscape dramatically, and is now developing at a faster pace than ever before. The future is always unpredictable, but we will try to imagine it based on current trends in sports betting. 

Sports betting has thrived in the last decade. From a niche market to 1 billion $ industry, sports betting is now compared to traditional sports in terms of revenue. As such, sports betting is similar to traditional sports betting. Players can bet with real money on their favourite team or on other different events from the game.

Sports betting represents the anticipation of the result of a match and the bet of a sum of money on that result and if the result at the end of the match corresponds to the bettor's prediction then he will collect a sum of money directly proportional to the bet, otherwise the bettor will lose his bet.

Much of the betting change is due to the new ability to place bets during the game, which came with online bookmakers. Most bookmakers have already reported taking live bets from the market, bringing companies already a higher turnover than pre-bets.

Operators are already aware of this and are adding new doses of fun to live betting. Almost everywhere, every live match has live stats added to the site, and many companies have already started adding live videos from that site. Thus, watching sports is no longer occupied by the territory of television. Major betting sites have a turnover large enough to allow them to claim rights to major sporting events.
