Game on! Mobile sports betting can start in New York on Saturday

 Get ready! New York, Saturday: Mobile betting on sports can begin


Wanna bet? Put your money where it's at.


New York's Gaming Commission announced Thursday that you can place sports bets online or mobile starting Saturday morning.


It means that bettors may place wagers for the National Football League's last week and for the upcoming playoffs as well.


The Gaming Commission announced that four licensed Mobile Sports Wagering Operators -- Caesars Sportsbook DraftKings FanDuel Rush Street Interactive, FanDuel, FanDuel and FanDuel -- were approved by the Gaming Commission to accept sports wagers after 9 a.m. on Saturday.


All four operators indicated that they would accept wagers Saturday.


Caesars funded a TV ad campaign to alert New Yorkers to the fact that they are ready to play mobile sports betting.


"We are delighted to be able offer millions of passionate New Yorkers DraftKings online and mobile Sportsbooks," said Jason Robins (CEO, co-founder, chairman of Board, DraftKings.


New York anticipates receiving $10 billion annually in sports betting, with nearly $1 billion of expected profits shared between the state government and operators.


New York already has $200 million in mobile betting license fees. Mobile sports operators have also agreed to pay 51 percent tax on gross earnings. This is a far larger share than what they get in the rest of the states that allow online gambling.


Proponents of mobile betting on sports said they were thrilled New York would have the program in place before the Super Bowl.


New York state gamblers were unable to place wagers at the casinos upstate. This made it difficult for many residents downstate. Many city residents just open mobile accounts to place phone wagers in New Jersey.


"Finally, it's possible to stop riding over the George Washington Bridge on Sundays and place a bet over-the-phone. Matt Lane, 28, of the Lower East Side stated that she knows this will make her happy, especially if she wins.


Critics worry that sports phone betting could lead to gambling addiction and even death.


Jen Sharpe, a 31-year-old Lower East Side resident, who works in marketing, stated that this "smells trouble for New Yorkers suffering from addiction issues."


DraftKings pledged to run background checks to verify that people are not placing large bets.


"This is great timing. It's a win in New York," said Joseph Addabbo Jr., a state senator from Queens, chairman of the Racing, Gaming and Wagering Committee.


"Mobile sports betting will generate additional revenues for the state, including education and it will create job opportunities."


He also announced that $6 million will be available annually to fund gambling addiction programs.


"This is very good news. It's certainly a good timing. We had stated that we wanted mobile betting to begin before the Super Bowl. We're ahead on schedule," stated Gary Pretlow (D–Mount Vernon), Chairman of Assembly Gaming and Wagering Committee. You Need a Sports Betting Program - A System!

Once you understand the rules of craps and the odds, you will find that certain bets are good (like the pass line which has a house edge just 1.41%), while others such as boxcars or 12, which have a houseedge of 16.66%, are dangerous.   Poker players are not always patient, and may throw away bad hands one after another.

Dalam ratusan undian lotere A.S., ditemukan nomor pemenang yang identik. Apakah gambarnya acak?

 Dalam ratusan undian lotere A.S., ditemukan nomor pemenang yang identik. Apakah gambarnya acak? Undian lotere paling menguntungkan di Amerika, di mana komputer secara acak memilih angka yang akan membuat beberapa pemenang yang beruntung menjadi jutawan instan, tidak acak seperti yang terlihat. Banyak nomor pemenang dari Amerika Serikat dihasilkan dalam berbagai permainan. Terkadang, mereka dihasilkan dalam gambar berurutan. Pejabat lotere, termasuk mereka yang sebelumnya menyatakan keprihatinan tentang lotere nasional, menyatakan bahwa angka yang berulang tidak lebih dari kebetulan. Patricia Mayers, juru bicara Lotere Wisconsin mengatakan, "Meskipun pengulangan seperti ini jarang dan tidak biasa, tetapi tidak ada alasan bagi kami untuk mencurigai bahwa angka-angka ini ditarik secara tidak masuk akal." Namun, pengkritik pengundian nomor acak mengklaim bahwa pengundian serupa serta catatan yang mengidentifikasi masalah di beberapa negara bagian menggunakan "pembuat nomor ...

Ini adalah 5kesalahan paling umum saat bermain lotere

 Berikut adalah 10 kesalahan umum yang dilakukan saat bermain lotere 1. Permainan lotere yang salah sedang dimainkan: Ada pilihan yang berbeda tergantung di mana Anda tinggal. Anda perlu mencari tahu permainan lotere mana yang menawarkan peluang tertinggi. Bayangkan jika satu dari 175.000.000 adalah kesempatan Anda? Jika ini masalahnya, membeli tiket untuk memenangkan lebih banyak uang daripada satu juta dolar bukanlah ide yang baik. Meskipun peluang menang hanya 1 dalam setiap 1.832.600, kemungkinan menang akan meningkat meskipun hadiah Anda lebih rendah dari yang sebelumnya. Anda dapat memenangkan pemilihan yang sama di mana pun Anda tinggal. Ada permainan kecil dengan hadiah kecil, seperti permainan tiga, lima, enam, dan enam bola dengan pembayaran jarak menengah. Tetapi ada juga permainan multi-negara besar yang memiliki peluang luar biasa melawan Anda. 2. Nomor pilihan Anda bukanlah hari jadi atau tanggal khusus lainnya. Ini romantis dan imut tetapi tidak berguna saat Anda ber...
