So, what are anabolic steroids? When you see those huge muscle bound body builders and weight lifters, I'm sure you're thinking what I'm thinking. How do they get so big, so fast? (And is their junk really small?). I'm sure that many of them work real hard in the gym. And follow a very strict diet. Blah, blah, blah. But let's get real for a moment. Many of them take anabolic steroids. Let's have a look.....

It enabled customers to self-exclude their bank cards from use on gambling websites. Furthermore, if they change their mind, then they'll need to wait 48 hours until they can play again.

Drugs in horse racing? Really? When you think of drug abuse in sports, it's easy to focus solely on the steps taken to reduce illegal doping. And that's an uphill struggle. So imagine the horse racing industry for a moment. It's still rife with doping abuse.

To win the lottery would change everything. Think of you sad and pathetic life. All the hard luck that has befallen you. You're short and ugly. That's already hard to recover from. You're alone. You're broke. Living in your mom's damp basement. She wishes she'd had you aborted. And it's probably started to rain.

Well, there's a new record for US sports betting markets. They're on the up. This is thanks, in part, to last years Supreme Court rulings allowing betting in more US States, the handle for all online sports betting saw an increase to $1.4bn. Both public perception and the political will has also been a main drive in sports betting becoming more acceptable. But as the industry rapidly expands, some industry players are going to struggle.

Why bet on wrestling? You don't have to listen to online sports book news to know that WWE wrestling is a scripted sport. That's right, the outcome has already been decided before the match begins.

Was the gladiator death rate really as high as we imagine? In the 2000 Ridley Scott epic, Gladiator, the fighters are slain left right and center. Whether by gladius or trident, entrails were torn from living bodies as fighters lost limbs and life and all in a bloody sacrifice to the Emperor, Lucius Aurelius Commodus. In this respect, the movie is no different than most modern media. We are meant to believe that all fights ended in a gory death. But just how bloody were these combats and what was the real rate of attrition?

Wanna be a slot machine service technician? The gambling industry around Las Vegas would come to a screeching stop without slot machine service technicians. But not the Vegas Crest Casino. Customers can’t play machines that aren't working. Then the broken slot machines have to come off the floor for repair. While they’re out of service, they don’t earn the casino any money.

Transgender athletes are cheats. There, I've said it! In the movie " A League of their Own", the star Tom Hanks says that there's no crying in in baseball. And that should also apply to cheating. When a natural born man is allowed to take part in a woman's sport on the basis that they identify as female, well, sorry to tell you, but that's nothing more than cheating.

The oldest casino in the world stands on the waters of Venice in Italy. When we think of casinos today, maybe we think of online ones like Casumo. Or the gaudy images of Las Vegas or Macau probably spring to mind. But the very first casino was a very different affair. After all it opened in 1638.

Here are some useful phrases for the casino. When you think of a casino like Free Spin Casino, James Bond is probably the first person to come to mind. Roulette is probably the first game. Though the rules of the game appear to be very simple there's actually a lot more going on. It's hiding in the jargon.

Sorry, but betting websites in Hungary are few and far between. With the Hungarian government and their friends controlling most of the betting market place, the choices are both frugal and limiting. As with all monopolies, they just get fat and lazy as the incentive to grow isn't of importance. Most foreign online bookies have much more to offer.

The sport of cricket, for whatever reason, still remains tied to gentlemanly ideals and the myth of “fair play”. There is a rule that states, "it is an offense for any player to take any action which changes the condition of the ball."

The face of grey hound racing betting is changing. Unfortunately the sport appears to be on the decline in the US. This is mainly thanks to greater awareness of animal rights. But both Ireland and Australia have started taking animal welfare more seriously, leading to a resurgence in the sport.

Even though there has been a decline in number of UK child gamblers, prepare yourself. Tiss the season for a slew of horror stories about child addicts. That’s because it’s the time of the year that the Gambling Commission puts out it’s annual report on young people and gambling. The Daily Mail, never one to tone anything down, had to jump in. It wrote, “Now 55,000 children are gambling addicts - quadruple the number of only three years ago”
