Sports

as opposed to individual sports? like, how come team sports can draw in a lot of the audiences’ attentions, while at individual sports (excluding boxing, MMA) recieves a small fan base?

Watching sports on the go has never been easier. Watch all the big games, match highlights and player interviews live on any computer!

Hi, as part of a research project, i am trying to write a paper on the online gambling industry (not pure play gaming). Sites where you can wager money plus bet on sports events etc. I need the size of the industry by revenue, # of players, # of employees. Also challenges faced by the industry, the technologies they use and what services they provide to the users – what some use to differentiate from the others etc. Any help is greatly appreciated.

While there are many ways to gauge the size of any industry—by the number of employees, the output of products, tax receipts or customer count—the most common comparison is by gross revenues, or sales. When gross revenue is used to gauge the size of the gaming industry, it is a measure of how much consumers spend—or the operator wins—on legal gambling games. This appears to be an easy question. But the answers vary widely. For example, a Washington Post columnist claimed that "Legal gambling takes in" about $637 billion yearly.

It seems the history of most team sports dates from the mid 1800s. Why weren’t there any team sports prior to that time? I know people participated in games but all the modern ones seem to have this same time frame.

I believe it’s because around that time there was a greater influx of wealth and leisure time which led to people seeking to have extracurricular activities, such as sports. And because people had more wealth and were not as worried as getting by, they began paying to see people playing sports too.

This mostly happened because of the Industrial Revolution which led to better transportation, factories, materials, etc.
Hope I helped!

I want to do some small gambling just for fun but I am on student visa and i don’t want to be in any legal trouble.

Online poker is perfectly legal for the end user in the U.S. with the exception of Washington state. The only illegal issue is for banks, and has nothing to do with us as individuals. So feel free to enjoy yourself.

If you have more specific questions regarding poker feel free to pm me.

It appears the sports officials from Badminton and Karate are flexing their muscles against their players and coaches. The fans know, the players are motivated by their coaches and not any of their management officials. The players and lower ranking coaches only kow tow to them because of the strong power they yield in their position. Its time the Sports minister kicks out all these political related management officials and place professionals for the future of Malaysian sports to ever reach and maintain international standards. These officials are making a mockery out of sports and its sportsperson. Politics out – Professionals In or Mediocre standard In – International Standard out. Choose. The players should unite and kick these officials out or protest and don’t participate. There must be some sacrifices or our sports will either go down the hill or teams will get sacked like what’s happening in Singapore. Disgusting officials.
Yes I am, but I am referring to Badminton and Karate for now. Not the disgraceful sepak takraw team.

—arent you the guy who asked abt sepak takraw…?

You need a license to run an online casino, but do you need a license for an online sports gambling site?

The answer is simple. I am in the US and run a few gambling websites. As long as no money is exchanging or bets taking place on YOUR site, it is 100% legal. As an affiliate I send players to a DIFFERENT website, to deposit money and that company pays me for sending them new players. But NO bets take place on MY website.. so its fine.

Example: I own http://onlinecasinos-usa.com

What is a fantasy sports team?

It’s a game and you have to join a league with other players.

ESPN.com, NFL.com, Yahoo and CBS are all places you can start a league and team.

What is the difference between a sports team being a "team" or a "club? For example, soccer teams are called football clubs, baseball teams are called baseball clubs, but football teams are just called teams.

A sports club, athletics club or sports association is an eclectic institution oriented to multiple sports, which fields many teams and in several sports, working under the same umbrella organization. In a larger sense, it may also refer to any sports institution, even those that have only one sports team or a single sports department. In order to differentiate a single-sport institution from a multi-sport one, the term multi-sport club is used. The term athletics club may either mean a sports club or a club for the sport of athletics outside of the United States and Canada.
Examples abound of sports clubs that are in effect one sports team. Each team from the NBA (basketball), NFL (American football) or MLS (association football) American sports leagues, can be called sports clubs, but in practice, they focus solely on a single sport. On the other hand, American varsity teams are generally organized into a structure forming a true multi-sport club belonging to an educational institution.

Let’s say I passed college and got sports management as my major, but if I couldn’t find a job dealing with athletics, would I be in trouble? Would I be able to get any other kind of job?

its in demand. so u will get a job

I really would like to join the basketball team at the university I will be attending this fall. The only problem is I have no basketball experience what so ever, but I just recently started getting into the sport by watching games on TV. I dont want to go to the tryouts and embarass myself because I literally never played any sports in highschool and have no idea what univeristy sports will be like.

I really need help with this…thanks.

Your avatar looks so sad.

Most of the people on a "university" team are there on scholarships so no you probably wouldn’t be able to just "join" without crazy b-skill before hand.

If this "university" is actually on the same level as a community college the yes there is defiantly a large possibility.
