Hockey bettors are no longer limited to betting on NHL games. Punters can bet on almost any sporting event no matter when or where it takes place. One of the benefits that the internet age and the subsequent proliferation of online sportsbooks have given to sports bettors is a drastically increased number of betting options. They just have to turn on their computers or mobile devices and they can place their wagers in a matter of seconds. No longer do punters need to meet their local bookies in a back alley to place their bets. The internet age has certainly had an impact on the rise of sports betting and gambling in general because it is now so easily accessible.
What was once an activity that was often associated with criminals and degenerates is now socially acceptable and has blossomed into a huge industry that happens to make billions of dollars every year. Sports betting has evolved by leaps and bounds over the past century.
