I've been using Betway for 6 months now.
I would like to use Bet365, however being from Canada, Bet365 doesnt actually accept the bank I use. So I ended up on Betway.
They have this offer on their app thats called the prize wheel
daily chance at small winnings, resetting every 24 hours.
One of the winnings is three free spins on a slot machine
I gave it a go and didnt win anything. Whatever no big deal.
Check my balance later and I have lost 15 dollars.
I was confused and when contacted support they said I lost it during the slot machine.
I told them that their prize wheel offered me three free spins this must be a mistake.
They said they cant prove it on their end and asked me if I recorded the event on my device.
I said no because why would any regular person do that. And they said sorry cant help.
​
So be careful with this site.
All Im saying. 15 dollars is whatever. But I just dont like the way they handled things and I would rather ppl not lose more money in similar situations.

Lump on. That is what the Football Association would like you to believe Kieran Trippier told his friends shortly before his move to Atletico Madrid. It implies a ring, a sting and big, big rewards, hence his 10-week ban. It was nothing of the sort.
Transcripts reveal a more earthbound reality. The circle trying to win a few quid, the player trying to be a pal. One of Trippier's mates asks if he should 'lump on' — the first time the phrase is used — and gets the reply: 'Can do mate.' Later, pressed, Trippier adopts the same turn of phrase. 'Lump on if you want mate,' he advises. It is the tamest of endorsements.
Yet, as the friends swiftly discover, lumping on really isn't an option. Bookmakers don't want anyone lumping on a transfer bet because the only person who would enter such an unpredictable market with cash and confidence is in the know. Nobody is betting big money on a hunch.
So it's a win-win. If the move collapses the bookmakers keep the cash, and if it delivers they have the safety net of football's governing body to do their dirty work, if betting patterns indicate prior knowledge. So one of Trippier's friends had his stake 'massively restricted', and another got £300 on, but only at odds of 1-6, giving bookmakers a liability of £50 and a red flashing light.
Some of the other bets were laughable: £8.75 at 1-2, liability £4.37; £20 at 1-2, liability £10; £20 at 1-3, liability £6.66; £25 at 8-13, liability £15.38. The biggest bets were undermined by short odds: £100 at 5-6, liability £83.33; £120 at 5-6, liability £100. Another bet of £300 at 4-11 gave the winner £109.09, while £80.34 was wagered at 3-10, a return of £24.10.
The significant numbers here are not being made off book-makers. 'Levy just wants £500,000 more,' Trippier told his acolytes at one stage. According to FA evidence, the fee was finally agreed with Tottenham for £25m, which rather puts that £4.37 into perspective, or even the big hit, £109.09. As does the £482m Denise Coates was paid as chief executive of Bet365 across two years between 2017 and 2019.
And, yes, it's the principle that counts, not the profit. Trippier should not have been sharing privileged information with people he must have reasonably assumed were using it for gambling purposes.
Yet, why, exactly? This isn't a match. He isn't affecting the outcome and therefore the integrity of a competition. Bookmakers have chosen to make a market on his life, and in doing so have placed him in jeopardy.
Who makes significant career decisions without discussing it with family or friends, without taking counsel, or offering progress reports? Trippier did not ask for this book to be opened, and receives no revenue from it. Maybe that is what should change.
The only way these bans and fines would be fair is if book-makers had to seek permission from the individuals involved, who would receive a cut of the revenue as part of their image rights. Then, if a player was found to be manipulating the market, or offering the inside track, it would be fraud and he could be penalised accordingly.
This is just the FA acting as bookies' muscle. If they didn't pursue cases against players such as Trippier and Daniel Sturridge, the gambling houses would soon tire of losing and the problem would go away. It is the FA that facilitates this by acting as enforcer — as if the grubby charade is any of their business.
This is now being tested. Atletico Madrid have challenged the ban which is suspended, pending appeal. The club will go to FIFA and then the Court of Arbitration for Sport if unsuccessful.
Their case is simple. They bought a player. They had nothing to do with a betting scandal that took place when he was still under contract to Spurs, or a punishment handed down from a different country. Had Trippier served it as administered, he would have missed 13 Atletico matches including the home Champions League fixture with Chelsea. As he would not even be allowed inside the training ground before March 1 — or to attend a game — his place in the Madrid derby scheduled for March 7 would have been in jeopardy, too.
And this is a huge season for Atletico. They top the table with a two-point lead and games in hand on Spain's big two. They could win LaLiga for only the second time since 1996 — and Trippier is their first-choice right back.
Certainly, it did not escape Atletico's attention that his ban did not impinge on any international fixtures, leaving the FA and English football unscathed. Atletico protested and FIFA listened. It could mean, if the punishment is delayed but upheld, that Trippier misses the European Championship. That leaked this week as if the FA were trying to put the frighteners on.
Yet, so what? It's their trumped-up ban. Given the friend-of-the-right-back's-cousin's-best-mate's-cleaning-lady source of transfer gossip is such a familiar trope, how preposterous is it that the FA make passing information a crime? Equally, why are they prioritising protecting the sanctity of an artificial betting market created to separate mugs from their money?
Unless some mug knows somebody, of course. Then, they'll refuse to pay, turn the source over to the beaks, and the FA will prosecute as if they've cracked the crime of the century. Strange, isn't it, that they're so fascinated by £4.37 — but rarely with the part where the real money gets made?

3 AM in Montreal, Quebec. Felt nice reading these posts knowing I am not alone. 10 years ago when I turned 18 (legal age here to gamble) my friends brought me to the casino in Montreal just for fun. Even though I was iffy about it and had a bad feeling about this place, I went to check it out and played $5 for the heck of it. Second time, went back with some close friends and hit that $125 "jackpot" at War and that was it. It turned the switch in my head. So many wins and losses mostly losses. Changed to blackjack one day when my brother taught me the game and lucky me had won about $1500. Followed by more losses. Some big wins (7-8k) then lost it all. Fast forward 10 years with so often on and offs, digging holes, getting back up and so on. My ex at that time left me and I don't blame her. Got myself a second pizza delivery job to pay some of it off. 2017 got a new gf, told her about some of my problems and promised to not do it again very supportive and helped me pay it off when i got a new job at the bank. 2019 when things were going, I gambled again and maxed all my credit after having it cleared after years that really fd me up, so I turned to making quick money to fix this. 2019 ending, got fired from my job. Mentally fd me up even more so I turned to gambling. Luckilly found a decent job in finance and decided to never gamble again. Everything once again going well with maybe only 15k in the deep from gambling (very fixable). Started trading stocks in March through August. Little did I know my gambling nature would impact my trading decision started taking big risks and thought of big WINS. During that time while losing in stock, friend showed me bet 365, was just betting small amounts for the fun of it. September 2020, I had ordered a ring for that same gf who supported me soo much and looking at my finances, stocks not soo good. So this one day in September I played a round of online blackjack after being free from card gambling for almost 10 months. I made 7k which would cover my gfs ring and told myself im going to take time off and not go back. September to October 26th while I kept telling myself I wont go back I was on my hottest winning streak of net $50k. I had lost my head, my whole life was uphill, I was living the life. I had enough to pay all my debts, my car , my motorcycle and still have a little left. Heck Come Ocober 27th, overnight I lost it all. Then it had hit me, I needed change, self excluded myself right away on bet 365. Started applying to new jobs and stayed busy with the interview process. December 24th, got an offer for a job but I was still unhappy about having lost all that money which could have given me a different life. Told my fiancée it was through stock trading and I would not do it again. During the holidays I saw an ad on casino.com, couldn't resist the thought of having that same streak on bet365 and fixing all my problems. Made 8k wow was feeling great. Nope, 2 days later all gone and another 15k on cc maxed out on top. Went through depression for the 10000th time. Told myself new job pays well and ill get a second part time job which to my luck oncd again a local mikes needed a driver and schedule works good. On last Thursday got an email, after self excluding from stupid casino.com, from casino tropez. I am so fked financially about 40k deep and supposed to get married in June, told myself IF ONLY I can make it back. These fkrs took another 2K of money I needed and have had to borrow. 20 and 20 I have, machine gets 21 with 4 cards and followed with 3 blackjacks in a row. Just some examples. Anyway I self excluded from all these online sh1t sites and hoping to work hard and pay off this mess and live peacefully with my partner who deserves much more. I'm tired of being depressed, sad, anxious and stressed. I wish gambling were illegal. Anyway I don't think anybody will read this because it's long but felt good to share this here and for everyone going through this, there will be better days.

Preface
Let's take a quick journey back to March, when the absence of major-market sports caused degens everywhere to turn to betting Korean Baseball, Madden Sims, and even weather markets to get their gambling fix. Among these, Russian Table Tennis emerged from the depths of the motherland, becoming popular on books of all sizes.
Nobody knows much about these games. Are Russia Liga Pro games fixed? Probably. Personally, I theorize that the games aren't necessarily fixed, but that each night, the Russian Mafia feeds winning players while the others watch. Why else would they be motivated to try? The league has no playoffs and no apparent prizes for top performers.
The games feature players from apparent grandpas with white hairs and knee braces to young boys who hardly look old enough to drive. They are played in a small room with tarped walls, with only the scorekeeper and players in view. The league is practically made to be bet on, and with over 100 twenty minute games a day, there's plenty of opportunities for aspiring degenerates to get the rush of gambling without sitting through 90-minute soccer matches and three hour-long tennis matches.
Now, why should you take advice from me? I've maintained about a 78% record on my Russian TT picks, and have doubled my bankroll multiple times over. I've been banned from a few books for "sharp action," and had my table tennis limited on others. Feel free to PM me to get access to the discord where I post all my picks for free ;) But enough of that, let's talk about my betting strategy.
Step 1: Narrow Down the Slate
Before you even sign in to your book, I recommend narrowing down the upcoming games within the next ~3 hours on Flashscore. Don't worry about the odds at this point, simply pick the games that stand out to you. Go down the list, and click on each game to view the stats for the matchup. When you see a game you like, simply click the checkbox next to it and it will be added to the "My Games" section for easier access. When looking for games to bet on, I look for two main criteria. In order of importance:

• Head to Head Results - This is my most important criteria when selecting games to bet on. In most cases, I only take games where one opponent is clearly dominating the H2H category. I look for games where one player has won AT LEAST 4 of the last 5 games head to head, and preferably at least 8 of the last 10 games head to head. As a rule of thumb, if the recent H2H look solid but the longer-term head to head is split between the players, avoid betting that game. If there are less than five previous meetings between the players, I recommend avoiding the game. Remember, we want to bet high-probability games to beat the house edge. If you are unsure about a matchup, avoid it. There are plenty of other games to bet on, so don't force it. Here is an example of a game with a great H2H record. Molodstov has won all five of the recent meetings, and nine of the previous ten. Here is an example of a game with a bad H2H record. While Poletaev has an advantage having won six of the previous ten meetings, Nikiforov has won three of the most recent five. Avoid betting on games like these!
• Overall Form - Once you've checked off the head to head category, check out the players' recent non-H2H games. Look at their most recent ten matches rather than just the previous 5. If their form is mostly similar, such as this example where both have a similar number of wins in their previous ten, then the bet meets the criteria. Another possibility is that the player that has dominated in H2H is in significantly worse form than their opponent, such as here. In this situation, avoid betting the game. The best-case scenario is when the player who has dominated H2H is in significantly better form than their opponent, who may have a losing record over the previous ten or be on a losing streak. In this example, Kutuzov has dominated head to head, and is in significantly better form than Migalov, who is on a 10 game losing streak. We would take action on Kutuzov here. As a rule of thumb, never bet on a player on a 5+ game losing streak to win, and vise versa.

Go through the slate and look for games that meet these two criteria. Don't worry about the odds at this step, simply short-list the games you'd like to bet!
Step 2: Making the Bets
Once you have your shortlist, it's time to place your bets. One important thing to keep in mind is that it's perfectly fine to take a juiced line to get a bet you're perfectly confident in. Often times, I play lines that are as low as -270 to get a moneyline bet that I like. When we're betting heavy favorites, your win percentage should be at least 70% to stay consistently profitable. I typically bet 2 units on most straight plays, though you can play around with your unit size to see what works best for you. Consistency is key!
Often times, you will find that the lines on the games you've picked simply have too low odds. In this case, don't give up on it yet! There are a few strategies you can use to still take action on these games while not having to risk a significant amount. Keep in mind, not all books will offer these options. Bovada is one of the worst books to use for table tennis! Bet365 is my favorite, as they have the most options for action beyond only moneyline bets.

• Parlay Favorites - You can parlay two of your selections together to get it down to very good odds, and often times even plus-value odds! Some books will only allow you to parlay games from the same league (Liga Pro), others will only let you parlay from separate leagues (ex. 1 game from Setka Cup, 1 game from Liga Pro). If your book lets you parlay Table Tennis, you have a great tool at your disposal, use it! If you usually bet 2U on your straight bets, I recommend betting only 1.5 on parlays, as you are spreading the risk over two games instead of one, even if they are heavy favorites.
• Play -1.5 Sets - Be careful with this one! Most books will let you play -1.5 sets at odds between -105 and -145. Make sure you look at the H2H scores before placing a bet on this prop. If the player you're betting on usually wins 3-2, avoid this bet. If he is winning 3-1 and 3-0 the majority of the time, then this bet makes sense. Use your judgment here! For this bet to hit, you need your player to win with a score of either 3-1 or 3-0.
• Play the Under - Most books will give you an oveunder on total points. If you're really confident on your player to dominate, you can take the under (total will typically be between 72.5 and 76.5). This is usually the riskiest of the options, as even a set score of 3-1 can hit the over if the game is close. I typically do not recommend playing the under, unless it is a particularly high number (74.5 or above) and the player typically wins 3-0 in head to head.

Step 3: Enjoy the Games, Reverse Jinxes are Key!
Unless your book offers you a live stream, it's often hard to find a good stream to watch Liga Pro games. If you're hell-bent on watching the game, I recommend using sportplus(dot)live, though they are inconsistent with their TT streams working. I usually keep track of the live scores on FlashScore. Now, when you're watching these games, NEVER, not even for a second, get confident that your bet is going to win. This is how you get screwed. I cannot stress enough how many times I've seen -300 or lower favorites go up 2-0, only to blow a 9-5 or such lead in the third set and get reverse swept. If you want to win your bets, you must be consistently reverse-jinxing Vladimir or Pavel or whoever you've bet on. He's up 10-5? Screw him. He's going to choke. He gives up a point? Screw him and everything he stands for. This mindset will work you wonders, trust me. No positivity until your bet wins. The moment you become confident, they fuck up - it happens every time!
Closing
I hope this guide is helpful to my fellow degens out there. I will likely publish a second edition discussing Live Betting tactics and other betting strategies I use to pick lower-juice plays in the near future, but this should be a great starting point for anyone looking to make some money betting Russian Table Tennis. As always, best of luck! Feel free to PM me or comment with any questions.

My step dad passed away in May 2018 before he passed away he said to me look after your Mum Jo, don't let her sell the house, she has enough money in the bank to enable her to cut down her hours at work and she can take it easy, if she sells she will have to pay out money that she doesn't need to as they were mortgage free.
Now my Mum is a stunning looking woman, very glam and I just knew the vultures would descend and 1 vulture in particular is an absolute scumbag.
Now let me give you a picture because for a while I thought am I the arsehole here but to have the validation that other family members also picked up on the red flags was enough for me to realise I wasn't being unreasonable.
Let me make this perfectly clear I want my Mum to be happy, but I know my Mum better then anyone and know she lacks a massive amount of confidence because she isn't very educated, she has alot of common sense (some of the time) but because she never did well at school this has made her lack confidence so she has always relied on me or my step dad to help guide her, but its this lack of confidence that makes her very easily manipulated.
My Mum works as a cleaner and the company she works for one of the warehouse workers took an interest, at first she rebuffed him and I said to her Mum you are still grieving for Dad its not the right time to go rushing in just yet give yourself some time because you can put a band aid on grief in the hope it will just disappear you have to see it through.
I was also trying to get her to a point of self sufficiency so she could start having some confidence about doing things for herself.
However to my disappointment she pursued this arsehole and on their first date I found out he spiked her drink.
He didn't spike it with pills, basically she ordered a Brandy and coke and he had a shot of vodka put into it.
This prick thought it was hilarious and he told me it was to loosen my Mum up.
Is he for fucking real? I mean if you are already drinking Brandy for god sake what possible reason do you need to put a poxy Vodka into it.
Anyway Mum was hanging onto his every word and laughing with him and I have my head in my hands thinking men can actually get arrested for this shit.
Following on from that were numerous other red flags ranging from

• Accusing my mum of chatting to men on Facebook and he chucked her out of his mums home.
• Calls her an excessive amount of times during the day my uncle and me counted he called her 9 times in one day.
• We can never have a 1:1 conversation with her, he needs to be included and put on speakerphone
• Found out she loaned his daughter £500
• He encouraged my mum to part exchange her brand new fiesta for an Audi on finance when she didn't need to do that meaning she now has a huge £347 a month bill coming out.
• Very forceful with my Mums dog, found out he even smacked him on the nose... makes my blood boil my mums dog is the most chilled out dog you could ever meet and he is tiny.
• I believe because he was so forceful with my mums dog the dog developed a skin condition through stress and he was refusing to take the dog to the vet because his daughter said it would clear up... I want to scream right now.
• Claims he pays my mum £1000 towards bills which is a lie found out he was paying her alot less
• Because he transfers money for bills, everytime they do something like go for a meal he says to my Mum pay for it on the halifax card jan meaning the money he is supposed to contribute towards bills isnt actually paying the bills.
• Excessive betting every day, my uncle spotted that he went out with £100 and came back with nothing.

Now I have tried speaking to her god knows Ive tried but she gets on the defensive and attacks me.
Thankfully though I think a few things started to come to light and she started calling me on the quiet and complaining about things she had noticed.
Last Sunday however my mother rang me up in a state because she found out this wanker stole almost £2k from her bank account on Gambling.
The devious arsehole convinced her to let him download the bet365 app to her phone register her bank card while he deposited £200 into her account.
He then went on to not only spend his money but also clean out my mums account leaving her with £7.50
As you can imagine I was raging not only at her stupidity but at him for the level of manipulation.
My mum was determined it was over and was packing his bag, I’m selling up as soon as my house is decorated in order to be closer to her and it killed me that I didn’t live closer I can’t begin to tell you the anxiety I felt not being there. I told her to stay strong, I found the betting app and the log in and deactivated the account and told her first thing on Monday go to the bank and get the account changed.
During this time the boyfriend aka Scumbag was at work, I said to her you don’t even let him in just leave his packed case outside. Sadly it didn’t pan out that way and to my complete shock later that evening when he returned to my mums home the boyfriend managed to sweet talk my mum and he never left.
To add insult to injury she went Facebook official with their relationship the following day while I was here stressed to the max worrying sick about her.
I also found out shes now blocked me from Facebook too.
My family are all shaking their heads because we dont understand any of this, she has rejected her friends and family for this man and the only possible reason they want her in the family fold is because what she has, shes mortgage free has money in the bank.
This fuckwit she is with is 57 years old and has nothing to his name, he was living with his mother for god sake and all his money goes to the bookies.
Shes clearly getting something from them that she isnt getting from us or is it just how grief has manifested in my mums case.
I dont understand why we are the enemy when all we have ever tried to do is support her.
I am completely heartbroken.

What is Golden Matrix?
Golden Matrix Group GMGI is a very unique part of the online gambling industry that doesn't get much recognition compared to the actual sports betting companies and casinos, such as Draftkings DKNG or BetMGM. Draftkings for an example is a front-end operator Business to Consumer (B2C), they are what the consumer sees on the app. Where on the other hand, GMGI is the back-end white labeled software platform, Business to Business (B2B). GMGI has everything provided to convert a land based brick and mortar casino to an online casino, including everything from data analytics, games, game management, payment gateways, currencies, languages, 24/7 tech support and more. So what I'm trying to say is Golden Matrix has everything required to setup an online casino or sports betting application. With what's going on in the world today, an online presence is a must. So this is how GMGI and GAN type companies differ from the rest of the online gaming world, as their work is mainly behind the curtains, but are needed in order to run an online casino or sport betting platform.
Seeing Golden Matrix is not a front-end B2C retail casino, they do not have to pay hundreds of thousands or even millions to advertise. As a matter of fact they don't have to pay anything, which in turn keeps the operating expenses nice and low. They make their money by setting up operators at no cost and make their money licensing the front-end casinos, usage, and providing services. It's much more low key, and they don't have to be the bank like all the front end companies such as Draftkings, BetMGM, Bet365, etc...
Continuous Revenue Growth
Here's a brief summary on Golden Matrix's more recent growth. Just since last January (2020) they have grown their operators (Casinos) from 150 to 457 of them today, a 205% Increase, and Registered End Users from 1.5M to 3.9M today, a 160% Increase in the same time frame. Those numbers to me show solid company growth, and the quarterly financials reflected from this growth as Q1 Revenues were $882K, Q2 $1.04M, Q3 $1.49M, and Q4 is expected to exceed $1.7M as quoted by Golden Matrix. Those quarterlies show me that they have grown their revenues by nearly double in the year 2020. I'm expecting these revenues for last year will total approximately $5.1M+ and can do another easy double in 2021 if not more $10.2M+ On top of all this solid core growth GMGI has also been able to maintain profitability for the past nine consecutive quarters, while growing out their top end numbers. The gross profit last quarter (Q3) was 58% and the net income was only roughly $40K. In my opinion this is a good thing considering the competition GAN who trades in the Nasdaq, lost $4.1M during that same third quarter. Profit is profit, which is an complete rarity in this sector. I'm looking forward to seeing the Q4 numbers on or before the March 15th 2021 deadline.
Nasdaq Capital Markets
Golden Matrix filed an application to uplist onto the Nasdaq Capital Markets on August 27th 2020, and are still currently pending approval as it seems to be a very complicated and tedious task jumping all the way from OTC Pink Sheets to Nasdaq. Us GMGI long shareholders have seen many tasks from the company performed over the past 5+ months that come out in 8K filings, such as amending financial reports to Nasdaq formatting, and even creating a audit committee to meet qualifications just as of last week (01-26-21). As for now Golden Matrix is still a hidden gem as much of Wall Street doesn't know about GMGI or can't trade GMGI due to many buying restrictions. I think soon this will change and no longer be hidden with the arrival of up list.
Playtech and Golden Matrix Deals
Playtech and Golden Matrix went began a collaboration agreement around the end of November 2020 that is set to kickoff sometime this month (February). You can find this easily under recent GMGI news right on the company website. What the deal consists of is beneficial to both of them, as Golden Matrix newly designed and built a Esports betting app, Peer2P Betting Games, and a new Artificial Intelligence System (AI-X). Golden Matrix is letting Playtech PTEC.L use and distribute these applications and software exclusively to all of their new and future customers. Playtech is a market leader when it comes to gaming software and technology. Playtech granted non exclusive rights to distribute their most popular games including live dealer games, slots, table games, bingo, and poker to Golden Matrix's 450+ current operators throughout their APAC Region territories. This deal will be very beneficial for Golden Matrix as their foot print will reach the U.S. and European territories through Playtech, who is all over the world, and some states in the U.S. including very popular New Jersey. I expect we may see a significant increase in the top and bottom line growth for Golden Matrix through this significant collaboration deal.
Amelco Sports Betting Distribution Deal
One more recent larger deal was made with Amelco who's out of England U.K. and basically it gives Golden Matrix distribution rights of their premium sports betting software platform where they will offer it throughout their territories in the APAC Region to their 450+ Operators and future ones as well. I think this is a major deal because they will now become a stronger company by providing both Igaming and Sports Betting software vs just having igaming alone. I think this will not only attract more usage from the current 457+ operators and 3.9M end users, but will also have more future operators wanting to do new business with Golden Matrix being a dual distributor of both Igaming and Sports Betting. More customers equals more revenues, which is what we all want to see from any good growing company.
GMGI Obtained a European Gaming License
Golden Matrix recently acquired a Alderney Gaming License in which their CEO Brian Goodman sold to the company though another privately owned company that was holding this license. He sold this license at cost to Golden Matrix. From my understanding there's many benefits to owning this license, and it's not easy to obtain. Playtech their newly partner also holds this same gaming license, along with many other big name casinos. It seems as if GMGI will be expanding from just the APAC Region alone, and now into the European Region as well. Us shareholders didn't receive a lot info on the exact game plan, but it sounds like some expansion into the European Region. I'm looking forward to hearing more about their game plan hopefully in the near future. Europe is the largest gambling market in the whole world, and right under it is the Asia Pacific Region. Let's see what this European Alderney Gaming License has in store for us in the near future.
$5 Million Equity Investment
Just last week Golden Matrix announced they received a $5M equity investment from a strategic Swedish based gaming investor Knutsson Holdings AB. They purchased one million units which consists of 1M restricted shares at $5.00 USD each, and a warrant with a exercise price of $6.00 a share. They only can exercise the warrants once the GMGI share price exceeds $10 a share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days. This was all announced when we were trading around $5.50 a share and will only only dilute the outstanding share count from 21.7M shares to 22.7M shares (4.4%) which is minor. This deal brought me that much more confidence in GMGI, because not only did this investment firm valuate the company currently over $5 a share, but they know its worth more as they have been around the block dealing with gaming companies since 1963 (50+ years). They are also the largest shareholder of popular company NETENT who was recently acquired by Evolution Gaming, and are invested in many other gaming companies. Check them out. This deal puts GMGI outstanding shares to 22.7M with a super low share float that's under 12M shares and a low market cap around $116M USD while currently trading in the low $5 a share price range. Ask yourself this one question, if Knutsson Holdings doesn't even get to purchase their other 1M shares for $6M until the price exceeds $10 a share, don't you think they have good confidence GMGI will surpass this price in the near future? I very well believe so, as they have solid growth, and many new business deals into play for this Quarter (Q1) and beyond.
Possible Acquisitions On The Horizon
I personally have very high expectations for Golden Matrix this year including a up list approval onto the Nasdaq Capital Markets Exchange, major new revenue growth from the partnerships mentioned earlier, and of course building their core business stronger then ever. Also if you checkout all the last dozen press releases from the company, the CEO has mentioned several soon to be announced partnerships and possible synergistic acquisitions many times. Now with Golden Matrix sitting on a pile of cash on hand ($10M+) and staying profitable for the past nine consecutive quarters and counting, they could be in a great position to acquire something beneficial for the companies overall top and bottom line growth. I'm keeping my eyes peeled open short term to see what they do on their next move with $10M+ cash, no debt, and being cashflow positive, which is a rarity in this sector as most are bleeding millions of dollars in losses quarter after quarter! I believe with the current $116M Market Cap, 22.7M Outstanding shares, Low <12M share float and the anticipated future growth, this share price around $5.00 is undervalued and a true bargain BUY.
My Position
I hold a long position of GMGI here, and plan to continue holding for the next 3-5 years as the online gambling industry is expected to grow exponentially for quite some time with more and more legalization throughout the U.S. and many other locations. Online gambling will only continue to grow larger and larger yearly. Do some DD on GMGI and you may become a long shareholder like myself.

Greetings for all.
I had a telegram group where i share 'fixed matches'. There were around 25 people in it, some of them made profits, some of them couldn't. But so many of them gave me tons of headache. They were showing me some coupons they've made, they were complaining about my loses, sharing any other opinions etc.
First let me tell you what i do. First, i copy all of day's matches pre-start odds on excel. And then i compare each one of them among the all popular betting websites and Turkish national betting website. I'm 32 years old and i've never watched a football game from start till the end. I don't like football, i don't like to talk about football, i don't like the people who has strong passion about football. I believe %80 of the matches are fixed. Betting industiry became so big in the last years, big guys doesn't want to leave this industiry to 22 players hands. Otherwise wouldn't be so easy? Put Liverpool, Barca and Bayern on the same coupon, bet 1k usd and double up. I'm %100 sure, professionals like me thinks the same way.
I believe betting according to odds instead of the teams, team's position in its league, injured players etc is way way more profitable. Just think about the last Liverpool - West Bromwich match. What did Liverpool lose? They are still 3 points ahead. But just think how much did they get by setting up that match. Also search Liverpool's historty for how many other set-up matches like this. And one another thing, they are trying to keep first 1-2-3-4-5th team's points close to heat up competition. More competition means more bets, more money for bookies etc.
Anyway, i want to keep it short but there are tons of topics to discuss. What i'm saying is, im not a regular better. I always bet according to odds, trying to find these kind of set-up matches and i have straight rules to keep me tight.
So what happened to the group? Why did it fail?
There are 2 things u MUST control in betting. 1- Bankroll management, 2- Your greed. If you lose any of them, you will fail. I'm just a stranger for my clients in that group, trying to share so-called 'fixed matches' I share 4+ odd, they bet big and it fails. Then i share +4 odd, they bet big (this time with frustiation) and it fails again. Then i share one more +4 odd but this time they think that im a scammer and they don't bet it or bet less. This one hits this time, but they couldn't make any profit. And after they complaining, i'm afraid to share +7 odds when i see any. If that +7 hits, i can't explain how much i got tilted.
So, i don't want to deal with 25+ people. My aim is to get 5 people till the next friday. What these 5 people must do is:
1- Cash-in exactly 100 euros on their betfair or bet365 accounts.
2- They must bet exactly the amount that i told.
3- They can't bet on their own, this is not gambling, this is business.
4- They must show me every bet when they did it.
5- They must show me how much they've got in the account, or their betting history when i ask.
6- They must be ready to bet as soon as i share the match because all the matches are live. (Weekdays between 7-11 pm, Weekends between 4-11 pm)
7 -They must send me 50 euros whenever their bankroll reaches 500 euros (first 4 cash-outs. Then 100 euros when it reaches 500). Cash-out 350 euros, put it into their pockets, and continue with the left 100 euros.
If one of these rules is broken, deal is off. And you may think that 100 euros is too much for 400 euro profit. Because i know you smart guys gonna create another account and bet bigger in there as soon as you see this is working like a clock.
You pay me 50 euros for the first 4 cash-outs, and then 100 euros. You follow my rules. Rest, you can do whatever you want. You can sell my matches, share them with your friends (for a percentage etc) i dont care.
One another thing, My matches are not %100. There are %100 matches out there yes, believe me. But there is almost no chance for us to get them. Their prices usually +5k usd. But even if you pay that money, you can't be sure whatever you do. My offer is a long running business. I can't make you rich in 2 weeks.
And last of all, why am i doing this? If i'm this sure that i'll win, why im not doing it myself?
Guys im living in Turkey where 1 euros is 9.5 liras. And betting is illegal in Turkey. Because of the our lovely goverment, i can't even login into any betting websites (yes i've tried vpn, tor, paid vpn, dns, etc) and even if i can login, i can't create any accounts. There are only illegal betting websites in Turkey, But i got scammed 43k Liras (around 4.7k euros) total last year. So i need a %100 SAFE platform like betfair and bet365. And this 5 people is gonna provide it to me.
So why are they putting the first 100 euros by themselves? You put it?
Guys i've spent 3 years for this. There are 3 monitors in front of me, searching for bugs among 10-15 websites all the time. My job is to do this hard work, your job is to invest that first 100 euros.
If you think im a kind of scammer, GREAT NEWS! YOU ARE SMART! And smart people also knows there are none easy money in the world without any risks. The risk you take is the possibility of losing that 100 euros. Now just sit and try to calculate what and how much are you gonna win if it works?

Hey Reading fans. I am an Australian that has been following Reading FC for a long time as my family are from there. It is very easy to follow the Premier League here but very hard for me to find Championship games. For aud$15 (£9 approx) a month I can stream all Prem League and Champions League games and replay on demand. And some mobile phone plans get it for free, so I don't even pay for it which is amazing for my football viewing.
I have been able to watch a few live Reading games from streams online (that I can't mention here) but most of the times they don't work and I have to follow bet365 live updates.
I am looking at the ifollow subscription for aud$34 (£20) a month and just wanted to see if people think it is worth it. I know for UK the price is probably normal but it is very expensive juat to watch 1 team in Australia.
Can you Chromecast to your TV? Is the service reliable?
I will probably just try 1 month to see but wanted some feedback from other fans. Is seems to be a season I don't want to miss, and hoping to connect with some other fans online as I don't have any others in Melbourne Australia.
URZ!

There are tonnes of others - but these are the Fab5

1. Repetition - spray it, coat it, laminate it, sugarcoat it but within all the variations, repeat some themes, some rhymes and your message is C4ed on site A of people's brains - Hotel Trivago
2. surprise - tap tap anothermotherbrother - no this ain't the spanish inquisition, but swooping the feet tekken style gets the guy listening - Ollllllld Spiccccceeee Powerrrrrrrrrrrrr - tu du du du du du
3. interest - what's in it for me - from a kid to a grandma everybody asks MeMeMe 24x7x360 - 15mins at geico might save you
4. contrast - kachow - isn't this surprising that a specie that groups things by similarity makes room for variations - contrast the tone, the look, the colors, tonnes of choices- the joker outfit with the SEALs
5. impact - no this isn't the font, although the font is aptly named, big and bold, clear and crisp, nothing gathers more attention than a good ol loudspeaker - XXXX beer ads - only viewable banner ad in the stadium maybe along with bet365s (contrast) bright green n yellow where people are writing essays

Another Example - Elon's naming his models S3XY - apparently Model E was taken - gets the naughtiness (interest) across while being triggered friendly - really FCUKed his audience - although that had a lot of british backlash back in the day, which is normally considered free media
​
Look I'm not a professor of advertising though I've a read a lot from 1920s principles of advertising, 1950s Rosser Reeves to contemporary blogs and videos of Chuck Porter of CP+B, I'm not saying this to flex my knowledge but to add some credibility to my unorthodox methods of approaching advertising, I do not like to sell CRM, SEO, CPA, CPC & WTF I sell results and impact
What not to do - big bank - wtf do those words even mean to an average person - don't even sound believable with all the bailouts and scams that pop up every Tuesday
What to do - hawk over a satellite dish - that hawk was actually sitting atop it a few moments ago - missed my chance - nobody's watching tv anymore, everythings OTT, not quite in india, the buffer is real
​
Advertising is not marketing speak, it's people speak, it's expressive, styleful, cocky, arrogant, wacky, zany, it's about a chinese cameraman in alabama, it's either that or a 5min break to piss off - wallpaper, not the phone's but of a forgotten abandoned old man building which makes ruins look like the Taj Mahal - it is one of those all or nothing things in life
Not quite even shitty ads repeated long enough work as long as the VFM(value for money) quotient is positive - I've seen shitty therapy sessions selling at 5x ROAS. short of you selling death, heck some of these depressed millennials will eat those tide pods all day long, most of your chairs and earphones just need a marketing lift. Most great stuff will reach it's audience, but to get there coastingly, coolly, and with some swagger I'd recommend advertising, it's just money on the table, why leave it.
A lot of this people in this sub sometimes throw up starter questions like how much will a primary level MVP level app for messaging or 2005 facebook cost, and they do not know of wordpress like services but for apps which could use broadcast and enter realms of public knowledge, Advertising has been often deemed ineffective, it sways public opinion like all media - although it's the leicester of medias rather than liverpool or madrid, madrid has fallen a lot imo so spanish inquisition is a bit out of the prospects, advertising has boots to fill, but it is the filler that's bound to be ignored but by the most too much free time likes of people like me, so hire me to do an advertising campaign that delivers.

I see that sites such as bet365, bwin and 1xbet don't work. I found fortuna, but can't change language on it.

K-pop, K-drama, K-lit (or "K-literature" if you want to be decent), K-beauty... things that start with K are pretty popular these days[.]() But can any of them really compare with K League?

Why watch

Here comes the marketing spiel. If you follow K League, you'll get throw-ins like THIS, headers like THIS, and epic knee-slides like THIS. Are you not entertained?
The best practical reason for following it is that you can get live football at a time of day when there's not much other football on - afternoons in East Asia, mornings in UK and Europe, and evenings or nights in the Americas. It's also a summer league, so you'll never have to go without club football from ~June-August again.
The highly scientific and not-at-all-questionable IFFHS rankings also has K League as the best league in Asia by quite some bit, and the 20th best league in the world. If the 20th best league sounds like something you might be interested in, carry on reading. If not, also carry on reading.

2020 season recap

I started writing a separate 2020 season recap, but I didn't get past a gif of Jesse Pinkman shouting "He can't keep getting away with it!", where in this case "he" is Jeonbuk and "it" is winning the league. However, I've now some time to compose myself, so here goes my mini summary.
First some "best of" videos

• [Best backheel]()
• [Best volley]()
• Best hug https://www.instagram.com/p/CASZ4EmBbbV/?igshid=16dfhmn1ubvdv
• Best assault https://www.instagram.com/p/CASYdCGBX0y/?igshid=11omtuzrsli8a

The reason I wanted to scream like Jesse is that Jeonbuk just weren't that good - they regularly dropped points to teams in the lower half of the table, scraped wins, and played most of the season without a competent striker. This feeling that Jeonbuk were a bit pants was verified when Jeonbuk were knocked out of the Champions League at the group stage for the first time in ages. So why couldn't anyone take advantage of that?
The answer lies in Ulsan. Ulsan lost out on the 2019 league title on the tiebreaker of a single goal scored, and there was real determination to get it done in 2020. In 2020 Ulsan were great. They spent the majority of the season at the top of the table, were crowned champions of Asia in an unbeaten run, and only lost to two teams all year. Unfortunately, one of those teams was Jeonbuk, and they lost to them three times in the league. If Ulsan could have just drawn ONCE, they would have won their first league title since 2005. But they didn't. They came runner-up, trailing Jeonbuk by 3 points. To rub salt into the wound, they also lost to Jeonbuk in the FA Cup final the week after the league finished.
As for everyone else, in order of finishing:

• Pohang were good but not good enough. They did score the most goals out of everyone though.
• Sangju Sangmu got their highest finish ever, and could have got Champions League football for 2021 if it weren't for them technically disbanding at the end of 2020 and reforming anew as Gimcheon Sangmu.
• Daegu sneaked into a Champions League spot, in what will be their second appearance following their 2019 debut.
• Gwangju exceeded all expectations
• Gangwon didn't meet expectations, but they did the double over Jeonbuk which makes them absolute heroes in my book.
• Suwon Bluewings were terrible until they sacked their moron of a manager, and when the replacement was finally hired they looked quite good.
• FC Seoul went through one manager and two or three caretakers and looked rubbish under all of them.
• Seongnam almost threw it away in the final run of games but held on and deservedly stayed up for another year.
• Incheon were considered relegated by most halfway through the season - because they hadn't even won a single game by then - so the fact that they weren't come the end of the season is a miracle.
• Busan were kind of meh all season, and when relegation looked possible their manager simply gave up and resigned instead of sticking around to fight it out. They got relegated.

From K League 2 Jeju bounce back after just one year, possibly thanks to promotion specialist Nam Ki-il, and Suwon FC won promotion with literally the last kick of the season to ensure we'll see a Suwon Derby again in 2021.
Also since it was the "big thing" in 2020, I'll give a small mention to coronavirus. Due to an abundance of caution, crowds were absent for most of the season, but not a single positive case among K League 1 clubs occured, which is just incredible.

The off-season

AFC Champions League

After the domestic season was finished, there was the small matter of almost an entire Champions League campaign to play in Qatar. There were 4 teams representing K League.
FC Seoul arrived at the competition with yet another caretaker manager, this time it was a scout from their backroom staff because they couldn't find anyone else with the correct coaching license that the AFC requires. They continued their domestic form and went home early, finishing 3rd in their group.
Jeonbuk also finished 3rd in their group. In their defence they did have a lot of their usual starting XI missing, but the Jeonbuk of yesteryear would have still managed. They just weren't very good in 2020.
Suwon Bluewings were perhaps the darkest horse at the tournament, and despite turning up with an all-Korean squad and without their captain, showed a will to scrap for every single ball and a self-confidence that was quite terrifying. They played in what was my personal favourite game of the tournament, a win over the then-reigning J.League champions Yokohama FM which included a lob from the halfway line. Unfortunately they had to play the majority of their next game with 10 men. They still pushed it to penalties, but didn't get lucky. If you count a loss on penalties as a draw, they still left Qatar unbeaten.
Ulsan... well they won it. Well done them. Their manager headed into the competition knowing he wouldn't have a job afterwards regardless of outcome, but they still bossed it. They lifted the trophy undefeated for only the second time in the competition's history. The first team that did it was themselves, in 2012.

Club World Cup

During Ulsan's rebuild, they had to jet off to Qatar again to fight for the title of champions of the universe. Literally half of the players who played in the Champions League final in December did not make the return trip to Qatar, either due to injury or having left the club, and the manager and 5 players were making their debut for the club. Expectations were not high, and they met those expectations by losing to Tigres and Al-Duhail. However, the trip wasn't totally pointless, as they managed to score this ^offside [goal that some said was Puskas-worthy]().

Transfers

The transfer window followed the familiar pattern of the previous season's best talent leaving for richer (but not necessarily better) leagues abroad, and an influx of Eastern Europeans with exotic names.
One notable pair of transfers is Seongnam's signing of forwards Park Yong-ji and Sergiu Bus. Will they be any good? Who knows. But the prospect of Park and Bus playing up front is the reddit comedian's wet dream.
Considering they came within touching distance of the league 2 seasons in a row and were just crowned champions of Asia, Ulsan are undergoing a massive rebuild. The new coach has minimal club coaching experience, and hasn't managed for over three years, but is apparently getting rid of anyone over the age of 30. Among the departures, captain Shin Jin-ho went to their East Coast Derby rivals Pohang, but the biggest shock is their striker Junior, who just had the most prolific season in K League history, being let go on a free to China.
I won't go over the other couple of hundred transfers that happened, but here's a list of all the foreigners in K League this season so that you can see if you recognise any journeymen:

Matchday 1

The season kicks off on Saturday, with reigning champions Jeonbuk hosting FC Seoul. The fixture is known as "the legendary match" (it's purely a Korean word play, it's not really that legendary), and FC Seoul haven't won this tie since 2017. FC Seoul have however had probably the most promising transfer window of anyone this winter, so putting an end to this record wouldn't be that shocking.
The times are admittedly not that convenient for UK viewers, but after the clocks change and the kick-off times shift to later in the day to avoid the daytime heat, you can still have a long lie-in and catch the whole match.
The K League 1 matchday 1 kick-off times are as follows:
Saturday 27th Feb

• 14:00 local time (05:00 GMT)
  • Jeonbuk vs FC Seoul
• 16:30 local time (07:30 GMT)
  • Daegu vs Suwon FC

Sunday 28th Feb

• 14:00 local time (05:00 GMT)
  • Pohang vs Incheon
• 16:30 local time (07:30 GMT)
  • Suwon Bluewings vs Gwangju

Monday 1st Mar

• 14:00 local time (05:00 GMT)
  • Ulsan vs Gangwon
• 16:30 local time (07:30 GMT)
  • Seongnam vs Jeju

How to follow

There is only one place ^{on reddit} to follow all the K League happenings - KLeague. Over the past year, we've grown by about 350 subscribers over 45% (wow!) and now have image flairs that work across old, new, and mobile reddit. It's your go-to place to ask "stupid" questions and seek terrible advice on who to "root for". If you check the subreddit wiki you'll find plenty of info on how to get into it and how to watch the action live or highlights.
There is no Supercup/Community Shield in Korea, but the first match of the season is arranged to be the previous season's League champions vs the FA Cup winners. This means it's Jeonbuk vs Suwon on Friday. The smart money will be on a Jeonbuk win, but the dollarydoos will be on Suwon. Given that nobody's played a league match since 1st December last year though, everything's a bit unpredictable.

The off-season

The main transfers that I can remember include

• Korean NT goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu returning to Japan after playing for Ulsan for just 6 months and taking a throw-in
• Korea's other main goalkeeper Cho Hyeon-woo transferring to Ulsan from Daegu
• Lee Chung-yong returning to the K League after a long spell in Europe, joining Ulsan
• MLS champion with Seattle Sounders Kim Kee-hee joining Ulsan. Ulsan really going for it here
• The transfer with the highest publicly-disclosed transfer fee was last season's highest-paid player Ricardo Lopes going to Shanghai SIPG in China for about £5 million
• Jeonbuk got their main transfer business done early, signing last year's MVP at Ulsan, Kim Bo-kyung

Ki Sung-yueng almost returned to the K League but talks broke down due to some weird contract clause that FC Seoul still had over him, leading Ki to write this very mature message on his instagram and head off to Spain:

Hurt me with a lie and I can hurt you with the truth...stop playing with me u ain't gonna like when I play back

There were of course many many more transfers in the winter window, but none that would interest most people reading this.
What everyone should be interested in is the K League mascot "class president election", a popular vote for the K League's favourite mascot. It was a two horse race between Daegu's adorable Rica the hedgehog, and the prince of darkness, Suwon Bluewing's Aguileon. Actually I'm not sure which one the prince of darkness is. To my dismay, Aguileon managed to take 1st place, leading Rica by over 1,000 votes. Although he only came 7th, I also want to give special mention to Jeju United's orange.
There were big changes in the lower leagues, as three divisions were merged into two, sorting out the confusing naming schemes, and removing barriers to promotion and relegation throughout the pyramid. The two new divisions are semi-pro, called K3 League and K4 League, sitting below the professional K League 2, and above the amateur K5 league. The long-standing target of having pro/rel with K League 2 "within 5 years" now actually looks possible.

How do I watch it?

Watching live
Watching K League outside of Korea used to be tricky and in Western markets the rights were typically hoovered up by sites like Bet365.
Interest abroad for K League rights are heightened now, so this year there are at least some countries that have been confirmed to broadcast K League, mainly in Asia and Eastern Europe. There are rumours of France, Germany, Italy, Australia, and USA (ESPN?) being interested in the rights, but nothing confirmed yet.
If you don't live in a country that has broadcasting rights, there is still a way to watch online from a proper source. If you can get yourself a Korean IP address, i.e. using a VPN, it's very easy to watch many of the matches in a (mostly?) legal way. If you're using a browser simply head to the Korean web portal Naver (https://sports.naver.com/kfootball/index.nhn), and when there's a match on, it will appear at the top of the webpage, usually with some indication that live video is available. Click on it and start watching. (Note that I haven't checked if it's this straightforward on desktop; I don't own a computer. There's a chance you might be asked to install a browser add-on or something - you can ask in the comments here or on kleague if you need help). An alternative if you're on mobile is to install the "Naver TV" app and find a match in the Live tab. You can also watch back full matches that were shown on Naver if you miss it live.
I won't share less-legal ways to watch here, but if you head over to kleague and look at recent posts you might find something won't find anything so don't even think about it buddy.
One thing to consider about live matches is the time difference - in the winter months, matches kick off around 5am or 7am GMT. In the summer months, kick off is ~10am or 11am GMT. However, for the first couple of weekends the kick-off times are spread throughout the day, so you should be able to catch a game wherever you are.
Watching highlights
If an inconvenient time difference is putting you off, you can still enjoy K League even if you don't watch live. Every single match gets a high quality ~10 minute highlight video produced that is region-free on YouTube. Just imagine you're watching MOTD but without the bad punditry. The official K League channel, should be hosting these videos again this year, but I should include the disclaimer that there's a possibility that the rights to show highlights might have been sold this year, in which case you'd have to find out who has those rights in your country. Highlights are usually uploaded 30 mins – 2 hours after the end of a match, although I did read that AI in their new media centre will be producing highlights within a few minutes of the match ending...

Choosing a team

If any of you want to pick a team to support, if you give some criteria in the comments I can help by suggesting a team, but I'll leave some info here based on what I think could be some common ways to pick a team.
If looking good is your primary concern, here's an imgur album of all home and away K League kits. This album has the kits from both K League 1 & K League 2, so of you're only interested in the top flight you'll have to ignore a few. If looking good is really important to you, there's one particular corner of the internet that has already given their seal of approval to Daegu FC.
This short hype video also serves to show all club crests if you want to base a decision on that.

TLDR: after relapsed, I have won huge and I’m now in doubt of what I shall do. What do u think, or what would you do ?
Okay, so I relapsed just after 7 days clean.. I had deleted my bet365 app, my livescore app, my stats app and strategy sheets, thinking, this time. I’m fucking done.. it destroys me..
But I sat at work.. thinking a lot about strategies, and how I could overcome my losses with filters and rules to my self..
So I downloaded my strategy sheets and live score app again, just wanted to paper bet to test the strategy I had come up with on tennis and soccer..
But it was difficult, because these apps don’t offer the same perfect UI like bet365 have. So I downloaded bet365 AS WELL.. fuck me.. so I saw I had an offer I haven’t claimed. Only 20$ though.. I thought, well, let’s just do extremely small bets to test this strategy.. and after a while and a few days, after having applied the strategy, I found myself to have multiplied this offer 20 times, giving me 400$ to work with. So I deposit another 2.000$ so I have 2.400 in total. What could go wrong now?!
A few days more goes by, and here I am. Sitting with an account totaling 17.500 $ . After having applied my strategy, being disciplined to my rules and concept..
But it also leaves me with this feeling, that, I still have this serious ‘problem’, but what if I can control my problem and continue down this glorious path? Being a controlled gambling addict?!
Would you take the winnings, stop completely again , or withdraw some and see where it could go from here?
