With an history going back to Ancient Times athletics has always been a keen betting sport with so many events to choose from it’s sometimes seems difficult to decide who and when to bet on someone. So remember this golden rule: athletics is no different than any other sport class will out and top athletes can last quite a few years and with the middle and long distance runners they can dominate events for quite a few season’s.

Indoors as well as Outdoors

Track and field events are held indoors in the winter months and outdoors during the spring and summer period. However limited space means some outdoor events can't be staged indoors, these are usually the Javelin, Hammer and discus. The other major difference is the 100m sprint is changed to the 60m sprint.

The Arena: a full sized track measures 400m in circumference, it has six or eight lanes and encircles a sports pitch that contains specific areas for each field sport. The track is made of synthetic rubber or polyurethane which enables all year round use. Indoor tracks are usually 200m in circumference have four or six lanes and steep banked turns to accomodate bends that are far tighter than on an outdoor track. Athletes always run anti clockwise. The order of track and field events are determined by a random draw at each meeting.
