Mechanics of betting

Ok, so i'm applying for graduate jobs at the moment, and i'm struggling on a couple of questions from a particular site... whilst i have answers, i worry they're shit.

The first question is:

Please detail your knowledge of the mechanics of betting and how statistics and probability can be used in conjunction with it? (250 words max)...

And the main issue is:

What websites could you use to help you in this role? (250 words max)

What the hell is Q2 on about, and is Q1 really as easy as it sounds, it just seems really horribly worded.

Cheers x

It's ok, i got pissed off with the questions anyway and just submitted a load of drivel... which was pretty similar to what you suggested.
