Abstract

Although international interest on e-gambling commerce is steadily increasing, studies about the online sports betting sector in Greece are very rare. Based on a web survey the present study, attempts to address this gap, by shedding light on the active sports bettors characteristics, preferences and patterns in Greece. A thorough analysis of 325 internet sport bettors reveals contingent relations between significant variables, while conclusions are drawn about the size of stakes placed and the punters motivations.
