Skilled player might think that it is a pretty easy task to make a bet in different betting offices, since all a person should do is to go to the booking office, ask a booking-clerk for a line*, choose a bet he/she likes and then wait in anticipation to win something! It looks so simple that even kids can understand that. Yet, the truth is that it is really hard. Sports betting sphere requires a lot of learning and practical skills, since it has dozens of nuances to know and understand.

Outcome – a result of a sport event that was assigned with a winning coefficient by a betting office.
