Polls, forums and chat rooms online can show early swings in opinion before bookmakers pick up on them enabling shrewd punters to make a healthy profit on the markets by simply knowing more about them than the bookmakers do.

2006-12-04T14:26:00.000Z

Snooker free bets

Bookmakers have increased their snooker betting coverage in recent years as the game has seen its popularity rise and surpass that of its previous heyday - mainly through an increase in television coverage.

As well as the usual tournament and outright markets, and individual match markets, most bookmakers now offer frame betting, correct score betting, and highest break betting markets, among many other - and all often in running.

Bet on snooker withLadbrokes

The competitive snooker season usually runs from around August to May with the game's top players such as Stephen Hendry, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Mark Williams, John Higgins etc, touring to take part in major competitions and accumulate ranking points.

The biggest snooker event on the calendar is the World Championship which is held at Sheffield's Crucible Theatre at the end of each season. Previous multiple winners have included Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis.Perhaps the next biggest snooker betting event is the Grand Prix. Held in October in Aberdeen snooker fans are always able to follow coverage on television - as well as bet on it!

The popularity of snooker betting has also been helped by the introduction of Premier League Snooker. Sky Sports is behind the new concept which sees the games top players compete at different venues across the UK in a league style competition.

Boxing betting

2006-11-23T17:30:00.000Z

Boxing free bets

Love it or loathe it boxing is one of those sports that fans love to bet on and bookmakers regularly price up fights from around the world. The sport has provided some of the world's best known icons, such as Cassius Clay - aka Muhammad Ali - and the multi million dollar purses that go hand in hand with the big fights are the stuff of legend.

Boxing provides explosive action and that makes betting on it exciting. It has provided some of the greatest sporting spectacles ever - such as The Rumble in the Jungle and The Thriller from Manila - as well as countless other events that have made worldwide headlines. Such as Mike Tyson biting Evander Holyfield's ear off. Or Buster Douglas beating Mike Tyson. Or the epic clashes between Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank. Even boxing promoter Don King's hair makes headlines! The sport is certainly full of larger than life characters. You know what I mean Harry!

Bet on boxing withLadbrokes

Professional boxing bouts are overseen by numerous authorities, the main ones being the International Boxing Federation (IBF), the World Boxing Association (WBA), the World Boxing Council (WBC) and the World Boxing Organisation (WBO). Each awards belts to the world champions that fight under its auspices. Professional boxing bouts are held over 12 three minute rounds.

Boxers are categorised into weight categories which are decided by their weight. The idea is to make sure boxers of similar build fight each other. The weights go from strawweight to super heavy weight. Bookmakers provide odds on all weight categories but its the heavyweight one which attracts the most attention, the biggest purses and the most punters who want to bet.

Free bets for boxing fans

As well as the professional side of the sport boxing has a thriving amateur side. Amateur bouts are only three rounds long with the two biggest events being the Olympic Games and the Commonwealth Games.

Today boxing is big business and the big bouts are televised around the world, which in turn helps provide the staggering prize money on offer. The increase in live televised boxing has also led to bookmakers offering in running betting on boxing. UK bookmaker Stan Jameswas the first to offer in running betting and still leads the pack. Though betting exchanges such as Betfair. also provide strong in running coverage.

The History of Boxing
Boxing in some recognisable form has been around for thousands of years. Indeed, records show it was a competitive sport in the Olympic games in 668BC! But it wasn't until the Queensbury rules were introduced in 1867 that many of today's common boxing ideas were introduced formally. Such as 3 minute rounds, no wrestling and the wearing of boxing gloves and the ten second count.

Having introduced the Queensbury rules the British dominated the early years of the sport but the Americans slowly took over in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their dominance was so great that it wasn't until Lennox Lewis beat Tony Tucker in a WBC World Heavyweight title bout in 1993 that the British finally had another heavyweight world champion.
