Other activities are not left out
To sports betting they also take place in the competition format. Instead of betting against the House, bettors bet against each other. This format is very reminiscent of exchanges, as is the case with Betfair .
Betting either on the final result or on the score of sports, bettors consume chips and accumulate points for the final ranking.
