Tax Free Betting

It was Gordon Brown and company back in 2001 who changed the British tax law to allow punters bet tax free. Before that, bets were charged a nine percent tax on any bet placed in the UK and that tax was replaced with a tax on the bookmakers’ profit of fifteen percent.
This tax was difficult to collect and blocked may foreigners from betting with the UK bookmakers. This then stopped the expansion of the market for the bookmakers so they agreed to more tax so they could be accessible to a wider market. Serious investments then became part of this expansion for the industry and around this time was when online betting exchanges showed up. The law change allowed this and certainly quickened the process.
The gaming industry was alarmed and felt the Gaming commission was not protecting the public but they added addiction treatment referrals to the online text as this was a compliance the web sites needed to do. This new law also allowed for more money to circulate and thus help the economy as it also created jobs for sports book managers, bookies and offline customer service.

Books about Betting

There are only two type of betting books in the world, one being the sportsbook and the other is all the books written by generations of punters offering their knowledge and experiences.
The sportsbook is where the oddsmaker has done the math for you giving you a better chance to make a profit. The odds that they offer are published although you cannot look inside a sportsbook. They guard their formulas and margins well so you can only help yourself by reading some of the leading betting books available out there.
If you got to your local book store looking for these books, you will find the selection hard to chose from. To save you the money of buying too many books, go online and find out from betting forums which books are recommended by others. The book written by a well known writer will offer little of what you actually need compared to someone who has been-there-done-that and wants to tell you about it. Other books to look for would be odds guides and not memoirs and even team specific books like a coach’s biography could offer insights that might sway your choice.
