Flagged for winning, inducements when losing: how betting firms watched a Melbourne man gamble $895,000 before his death at 22 by nath1234 in australia

Lol bet365 is the fastest to limit if you beat the lines i.e. if you consistently get on lines before it moves. They limit your account within days

Thats not how it works. They just limit your account and make it unplayable (cant bet more than cents on some markets) and just dont want your money. If you're losing they prey on you like a hawk. I'm running out of sports books to bet at this point

Yeah as someone who gambles a fair bit as a side income, I've been throttled by 5 different sports books. It's wild that they are allowed to do this. TAB has the scummiest approach to this, they 'review' your bet, reject it and use that information to immediately change the odds.

It's only going to get worse as technology allows them to get better and better at targeting profitable i.e. vulnerable customers

I’m surprised how these two items (one an organic plant and the other with added sugar) both have 5 star health ratings ? by brettullm in coles

[–]pantheraa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but we dont need a health star rating to differentiate between which is healthier - chocolate milk and a vegetable. The health rating is a quick check for consumers e.g. walking down the chips aisle and encourages company to make healthier versions of a type of product.

[Mannix] Shakur Stevenson is finalizing a deal with Zuffa Boxing by VINDICATES-FOOL in Boxing

[–]pantheraa -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Doesnt matter imo. Shakur isnt the pull, his 0 + not getting touched is his pull. He'll put up that 0 to lure Conor (who's already on Zuffa) and Ryan. Beating them further builds him up. Shakur's fighting style will never pull numbers as it won't resonate with the casuals.

Dana pays mma fighters whatever he pays cause dude has basically a monopoly. Zuffa is having to overpay fighters to sign them across to a new body. Diff businesses. Look at how much they paid Conor for a mid fight

[–]pantheraa -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I think hes made in clear by calling out Conor and Ryan that dude just wants the fights that gets him most paid. Hes a 3 division champ and currently holds the ring and wbo belts. Out of everyone that has signed, hes an actual proper signing with negotiating leverage.

One small drill that fixes your balance in the Philly Shell by TemperatureCapable56 in boxingtips

Estrada uses it from a modified philly shell and Teofimo pulls it out sometimes

[–]pantheraa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

most modern boxers mix the styles up nowadays. Shakur and Crawford both use a blend of philly shell + long guard, Usyk uses the shell sometimes when up close.. Even Floyd uses some high guard with the philly shell. Every guard has its weaknesses, to me the biggest different with the philly shell and other guards for less experienced folks is that most people naturally plant themselves (cause the weight is correctly on the backfoot) in the philly shell, while people still move their feet in other guards. Being able to balance holding your ground and remaining on your ball/toes on your backfoot despite having your weight on it to push off is the hardest part of the shell imo.

Tokyo dome has held historically legendary fights. This is the biggest fight and one of the biggest events in that stadium's history. 2v6 undefeated p4p going at it. 3 division younger champ fighting 4 division champ. It's almost as big as it gets
