It is widely accepted that sports betting or gambling was practiced in ancient time by Romans and Greeks. In more recent years sports betting gained ground in 19th century through horse racing. This was considered a preferred way of making easy money by rich and poor alike. Sports gambling is a multi-billion dollar enterprise now.
