Today I have done a translation task about sports betting. I’ve never done this kind of translation, so I consulted some materials and got knowledge about sports betting. It is a legal or illegal action to bet upcoming matches. It has a long history and the coverage of betting is very large, including football matches, basketball matches, tennis, golf, racing, motorcycle race, boxing, baseball, swimming, etc. In fact, most of sports betting is often used in football matches.

Now, I would like to share some vocabularies about sports betting. There are English vocabularies, Chinese name and English translation to vocabularies.
