General Gambling Questions
Q: Can money really be made in sports gambling?
A: Hell yes. We started this site with the ten grand we skinned a bookie for :) Also, it is the best bet there is. BlackJack is the second. The house is 52 to your 48% advantage. Sports gambling is "here is the spread, now pick one side or the other". That simple.
Q: How long has sports betting been around?
A: Realistically since early civilization, where aztec warriors would bet their lives on a game that resembled soccer. But modern sports betting with point spreads has been traced to the 1940's. Underground sports bet takers would handicap a team by assigning it a point spread. Legitimately, the Vegas casinos were taking action in the late 50's and it really became popular in the late 60's. The first nationally followed sports spread would be Super bowl 3, where Jimmy the greek assigned a huge point spread of 17 to the favorite Baltimore Colts. And we all know how that spread faired ;).
