Apuestas Futbol

In Spain football betting (apuestas futbol) is a very popular pastime. The Spanish love to gamble and for them to be able to combine it with their favourite sport is just too good an opportunity to pass up.

Spanish people love sport; they live and breathe it, especially the men. Despite their mañana reputation, the Spanish are in fact a very energetic people. If you have ever been on holiday to Spain that soon becomes obvious, they never seem to go to bed. Every town holds at least one full fiesta a year, and during those fiestas, they do not appear to sleep. For a week, everybody goes to bed in the wee hours. At the weekend, it is not uncommon for people to still be partying at 6am for 2 or 3 nights in a row. The Spanish have energy to spare and they use it to play sports, especially football.

Every Spanish town with a population greater than 4,000 has a full sized football pitch that is ran and maintained by the town hall. These pitches do not sit there unused, many of them are floodlit and it is not uncommon for games between local town teams to start at 10pm.
