In the European space as well as in Romania, the sports betting industry is a regulated one and has a major impact, whether we are talking about an economic impact, or a social or psychological one. Our intention was to observe the impact that this industry has on sports and fans. The aim of this article was to present some of the results of a quantitative research based on a sample of subjects who frequent bookmakers. We wanted to observe their behavior as fans and see if we can identify a common profile of the Romanian bettor in his relations with society, family and sport or his favorite team and also to observe the economic impact of the sports betting industry on sport.
