Sports they say,
but gamble they play.
Humans, horses, cars or hounds
contend in me for rounds and rounds.

A two, a three or many can play in me,
but alone I just don't know how it can be.

I can be oval, linear or any shape,
but once you join, do not escape.
Once you do, a greeting is for you,
nothing else but an angry boo.

Now, what am I?

Answer:

I'm a race.

Racing is a type of sports but can also be used for gambling. Races come in different types, from swimming, to horse-back riding and dogs.

At least two are needed for a race. You can race your own personal best but then that will not look like a race (from the audience's view).

It's more like a poem or a rhyme than a riddle. Anyway, nice job!

Hmm... nice teaser, but the number of syllables on each round seem to be a bit different... (not that I can write a better one XD)
