The advancements in technology have enabled online betting to become extremely popular.  You no longer have to go through a shady bookie, or go to the hassle of making a phone call or attending the event itself. With online betting, you can do it from anywhere, control your distractions and control the time it takes to bet, which gives you peace of mind. Betting can be a stressful activity but doing it online can be much more relaxing.

You can bet on a variety of sports like horse racing, rugby, football, cricket, tennis, golf, boxing, greyhound racing, badminton and more. If that doesn’t quench your gambling thirst, you can also play casino games online with real money. Every day, there are hundreds of thousands of betting enthusiasts all over the world willing to test their luck online.

However, there are a few things to consider before jumping in:

1. ***Know the law*** – Before you do anything, make sure you know the local laws about placing bets and wagering money online.
2. Pick the right website – Do your research and look up some reviews before choosing a betting website. Don’t base your decision solely on appealing graphics or pictures.  Read the website itself for payment methods, betting options and bonuses for loyal players.
3. Pick your poison carefully – Know a lot about whatever you are betting on. Whether you’re an expert on the horse racing circuit or a card shark at the casino tables, choose your strengths.
4. Most people lose – Betting is a form of gambling so there are winners and there are losers. The ratio of winners to losers is about 1/10, so don’t expect to rake in the winnings when you first start off. You may experience beginner’s luck but don’t get caught up in it and cloud your judgment because it may not last. Learn from the losses and how to play against the odds.
5. Avoid addiction – Despite contrary opinion, there is so much of a good thing. Gambling is one such example and a gambling addiction can become a serious problem. Don’t get wrapped up in a win. Bet what you can afford. Use money from your entertainment budget, not from basic needs such as food or clothing. Keep it fun. When you don’t enjoy it anymore, it’s time to stop

Gerard Cunningham, Betfair’s United States Head of Operations, left the company after a strategic review of the betting’s exchanges American business. He left to pursue other opportunities after Betfair announced a change to its coverage of the U.S. horseracing industry.

The company statement read: “We have decided that the strategy for the U.S. is to enhance our horseracing offerings and to support our global product development initiatives and therefore, at this point, [the company] want the U.S. horseracing and engineering teams to integrate more closely with UK operations. Given these changes, Gerard decided to leave the company to pursue alternative opportunities.”

So, why is Betfair making the change? It is it because of the uncertainty looming over the future of the U.S. online gambling industry? Was Cunningham getting out before it’s too late? Those questions wait to be answered as Barney Frank’s gambling legalization and regulation bill now has 66 co-sponsors.

Stephen Burn will now head Betfair’s U.S. horseracing sector and the Los Angeles office, reporting to Betfair’s UK-based managing director of exchange, Mathias Entenmann. Ravi Keswani will continue to oversee the U.S. engineering and product management teams and run the San Francisco office, reporting to Betfair’s London-based chief technology officer, Tony McAlister.

Cunningham was at the forefront when Betfair entered the U.S. market with the purchase of online wagering and TV racing network TVG in February of 2009. His other deals since then include a $5.5 million round of funding in Watercooler, a developer of fan communities and social games with more than 26 million users, and a deal with America’s Breeders’ Cup that allows Betfair customers to bet directly into U.S. tote pools.
