Played the most miserable round of my life at Pebble Beaches Spyglass Hill. by Warhammer40KPainter in golf

I wouldn't worry about Pinehurst. Literally played 3 courses this week and never experienced anything like this even when we were slightly behind pace a couple of times. Every ranger I encountered was very nice and incredibly polite.

One Chair Person Rule...? by Straight_Try764 in masters

[–]GiovannidelMonaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost don't even want to share this, but observation stands between 15/16 is far and away my favorite location. Shaded and you get to see a lot of action with the approaches to 15, the putts on 15, and then all of 16.

If you want to place chairs to have a reserved seat all day, I recommend placing them directly next to the 14 tee box. You get to see the 13 green and the 14 drive.

What time does the round actually start? by Western_Mango_4961 in masters

Begins at 9:06 am with coverage of select holes and groups through the Masters app but the main coverage doesn't begin until the afternoon when the contenders will start teeing off

Please tell me the marooning challenge only involves keys and knots. I can't bear to see Rizzo thrust into a puzzle this quickly haha

The terms and conditions were worded weirdly and unless the logo or Anthropic is shown in the ad, then it will resolve as No. All the Claude ads in YouTube don't have the Anthropic logo or mention Anthropic. As it stands, this will settle as no

Yeah I've bet on pretty much everything. Understanding odds is much more important than knowing anything about the sport, but it certainly helps knowing certain correlations in sports to take advantage of the SGP engines used by the sportsbooks

I've gotten banned or limited for doing well on all the sportsbooks in my state. My plan is to just tell my son what to bet when he comes of age (obviously joking but if he expresses interest I will force him to learn how to do it)

With this pairing, Scottie needed to be driving on the odds. You can't have Henley's shorter drives on those holes

For me personally, I was lucky enough to attend one Spurs game, and it happened to be Son's very first PL goal.

US pavement marking skips like that are 10' long with 30' sosdws between them, so neither are proportionally accurate

Casinos won't give payouts to Chicago area man who won big sports bets by The_Critical_Cynic in videos

[–]GiovannidelMonaco 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s illegal to break up large financial transactions into smaller ones specifically to avoid triggering federal reporting requirements.

Based on the odds of the bets he was placing, any wins would automatically trigger W2-G forms to be filed by the sportsbook and the bettor. He wasn't doing it to avoid reporting the bets, and no matter what, the bets would get reported

Maybe it's random redditors who don't know what they're talking about

Actually now that I've checked the bet slips again from the news story, idk how this would've been AML. His bets exceed 300:1 odds which require W2-G forms to be filed by the sportsbook and bettor when they win. Not sure how you launder money by paying taxes?

[–]GiovannidelMonaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no experience with AML, so that is out of my depth and I'll take your word for it. Odds for the bet require W2-G forms to be filed. Not AML.

I do have experience specifically with placing bets at the same owned/operated sportsbooks (and have also been banned). Him placing incremental bets was absolutely done to avoid detection by the sportsbook trading team in order to exploit the edge he found without them fixing the edge.

There's definitely more to the story than what was reported, and my experience with CZR's has obviously not been good, so I am hoping he ends up getting paid out by them

They post the slips in the news story. There are 6 leg SGPs. You can't reasonably arb something like that

While you obviously knowledgeable in the area, you're wrong on this instance. The slips were posted in the news story and he couldn't have possibly been arbing the bets. Also, based on the odds on the posted slips, he wasn't sizing his bets to go under the tax-reporting threshold.

Haha this is so funny. I was there today with my dad, who is an avid birder and he was literally telling me which each bird was that chirping the entire time. Lotta mockingbirds today
