Abstract
With sports betting in Japan, the situation at present is that “Toto” (soccer betting) is the only form of gambling being promoted. Soccer betting, the sole form of sports gambling in this country, commenced nationwide from the start of the 2001 J-League season, and is now in its 8th consecutive year of operation. Participants (gamblers) get the chance to personally predict the results of the J-League games. Also with tickets priced from just 100 yen per bet, it is both reasonably priced and convenient. Furthermore, the media coverage of the recently introduced 1 billion yen jackpot has resulted in ticket sales successfully passing the 60 billion yen mark in the jackpot’s inaugural year.
