Hello everyone! I'm a huge football (soccer for Americans) fan and I'm looking to improve my English vocabulary specifically related to sports and sports betting.
I already know some basic vocabulary like "penalty", "foul", "corner kick", etc. But I want to learn more advanced terminology so I can better understand sports commentary and analysis. I also want to learn common betting and gambling terms so I can participate in sports betting conversations.
Can anyone recommend good resources for learning sports and betting vocabulary? Are there any books, websites, YouTube channels, podcasts, etc. that focus specifically on this type of vocabulary?
I'd ideally like resources that provide:
Common words and phrases used in football commentary and analysis
Clear explanations of betting-related terms like "odds", "spread", "parlay", etc.
Coverage of other sports too like basketball, baseball, etc.
Audio clips or conversations using the vocabulary in context
Quizzes or exercises to test understanding
Let me know if you have any recommendations! I'm open to suggestions for online courses, apps, books, or any other resources. My goal is to significantly improve my sports and betting English vocabulary over the next few months.
Looking forward to your ideas! Thanks!
