If there is a profit to made from our weaknesses, foolishness, or addictions, it will be done. This is a mistake for both the individuals who will be lured into gambling and the NFL as a whole. A scandal involving the fixing of games is a certainty.

The Rise of Sports Betting Kiosks in Casinos and Sports Venues

The Advantages of Kiosk Betting Sports betting has been around for decades, but the introduction of betting kiosks has completely transformed how people can place wagers. These sleek self-service machines allow bettors to quickly and easily make bets right from the casino floor or sports venue without having to wait in line. Kiosk betting offers numerous advantages over traditional window or teller betting. Convenience and Speed With waiting in long lines a thing of the past, kiosk betting puts bettors in control of their betting experience. They can review odds, place multiple bets, check balances and cashout tickets all from the touchscreen interface at their own pace. Since most transactions are completed within a minute, kiosks allow people to place bets right up until game time without having to rush. This level of convenience has turbocharged the popularity of in-game live betting on key moments as well. Wider Betting Menu While tellers can only handle so many bets at once, Sports Betting Kiosk have no such limitation. Their software integrates with the latest betting markets, props and exotic wagers for all major sports. This gives avid bettors access to niche or highly specific bets that tellers may not be equipped to take. Kiosks also sync with mobile betting apps, pooling all the operator's offerings in one spot. Self-service Flexibility Rather than waiting for an available teller, kiosks empower bettors to manage their action on their schedule. Want to browse odds during half-time without holding up the line? No problem. Need to cashout a winning ticket at 3 am when the cage is closed? The kiosk is always open. This degree of autonomy has resonated tremendously with a new generation of bettors who expect self-serve functionality. Popularity Amongst Millennials and Gen Z Speaking of younger demographics, they have wholly embraced kiosk betting due to the seamless customer experience. Where older bettors may prefer interacting with a teller, touchscreens are second nature for those weaned on technology. Kiosks play into the autonomy, connectivity and immediacy that millennial and Gen Z consumers value. They've helped attract a new wave of bettors who interact with gaming through their phone and are less tethered to physical locations. Kiosks Bolster Operator Profits For sportsbooks and casinos, sports betting kiosks have proven a profit goldmine. Their operating costs are a fraction of employing human tellers yet they can handle far more volume. Some estimate kiosks serve four times as many customers per hour. By improving bettor throughput and eliminating idle cashier time, more money cycles through to the bottom line. Kiosks also cross-sell promotions, generating valuable player data to boost marketing ROI. It's no wonder their deployment across the industry has snowballed in recent years.

"Drop Charges onBookmakers But Collect From Club," Kingston Whig-Standard. May 9, 1933. Page 2. ---- At the next meeting of the City Council, the Property Committee will ask that the action taken at the last meeting of the council, on the recommendation of this committee, to impose a charge of $100 per day on book-makers attending the harness horse races at the Fair Grounds, be rescinded. In its place the committee will ask that a charge of $25 per day be made on the Kingston Gentlemen's Driving and Matinee Club for the use of the Fair Ground sand the race track other than for races held in connection with the Fair Association.

This action was taken at a meeting of the committee held on Monday afternoon, after a deputation from the Driving Club, composed of E. J. Metcalfe and George Veale had been heard. The members of the deputation stated that the fee of $100 proposed on bookmakers would mean that they would not attend the races, and that on this basis neither the city nor the driving club would be able to make any money.

The chairman, Ald. Stewart, presided at the meeting, and all the members of the committee were present, including Aldermen Reynolds, Chown, Ferguson, Sparks, Rowland, and Percy.

Mr. Medcalfe stated that at a meeting of the directors of the Driving Club held on Friday evening last,the fee of $100 on book-makers had been discussed. The fee was regarded as too high, and deputation had be appointed to wait on the committee in regard to the matter. He said that the club had been spending considerable money in keeping the track in good condition, and was doing everything possible to promote harness racing in Kingston. The club was quite willing to pay the city a reason-able fee if the club realized sufficient money on the races held. He said that last week the club spent $30 on the track. The club could not make any money on the present plan,and that as a result there would be no money for the City Last year for the special one-day meet the club held a book-maker paid $75.

Ald. Sparks said that he thought that the book-makers should pay a fee for the privilege of attending the races, and he did not think the fee of $100 was too high.

"But they do not always win," remarked Mr. Metcalfe.

Ald. Chown felt that the bookmakers should pay for the privilege; he was of the opinion that the charge of $100 was not too high. He wanted to know what the Driving Club had to suggest that would bring about an equal revenue for both the city and the club.

Mr. Metcalfe said that if the club were asked to pay a percentage on their net receipts it would be the fairest way to deal with the matter.

"The city is giving the club the free use of the grounds, and I think the book-makers should pay for the privilege they get," said Ald. Sparks.

Ald. Ferguson suggested that the fee for the book-makers be reduced to $25 per day.It was finally decided to drop the fee for book-makers.

Ald. Ferguson later moved that the driving club be charged a fee of $28 per day for the use of the Fair Grounds and the race track for races other than those held in connection with the Kingston Fair.

Ald. Chown then moved an amendment to charge the Driving Club $25 per day for the use of the race track for ordinary meets, and $50 a day when meets are held on public holidays.

Aldermen Chown and Sparks supported the amendment which was lost, Ald. Ferguson, Percy and Rowland voted in favor of the motion to make the fee $25 per day. Ald. Reynolds was called out of the meeting sometime before the vote was taken, so his vote was not recorded.

The committee received an application from Nick Lungal, for permission to erect a bathing house on the southside of the Front Road at Lake Ontarlo Park; but no action was taken.

Midway At the last meeting of the City Council, on the recommendation of the 21st Battalion for permission to allow a midway on the Fair Grounds free of charge from June 19 to 24 be allowed, subject to the charge fixed for midways, namely at the rate of $25 per day, with a maximum charge of$100 a week.

Alfred Tugwood, president of the club, asked the committee to reconsider its action, pointing out that the club was bringing the midway here to raise the sum of $159.08 balance due on the club's memorial erected in the City Park.

The members of the committee felt that a midway should pay the fee decided on, and decided to take no further action in the matter.

Last year the council, on the recommendation of the Finance Committee,passed the following resolution;"That the sum of $600 be granted to the 21st. Battalion Club towards payment of the account to the McCallum Granite Company Ltd. for the memorial, this grant to be given when the club has paid the balance of the amount of this account.

William Peters, market clerk, was appointed to act in the carrying out of the by-law recently passed by the council providing for the licensing, regulating and governing of transient traders. The license fee was fixed at $250. The committee will recommend that the market clerk be allowed $100 per year for running expenses of his car

It was decided to arrange for some necessary spring cleaning in the market building.

Principles of Psychic Prediction for On-line Sports Gambling!

[copperbadge]

The UEFA European Championship, the "Euros", is a major soccer championship, with viewership second only to the World Cup. It's starting up this week and I decided to put a few bets on since a number of the Handsome Lads of AS Roma are playing in it along with my favorite Fire player, so I signed up with an online sports book that has a relatively user-friendly app.

(I can hear the "Sam, gambling can be super addictive" comments now and I agree but I promise you of my impulse control issues, gambling is not one of them. I am betting in $2 amounts for fun.)

One of the weird dualistic tensions of online gambling is that by law they have to do allllll this stuff to remind you that it can be addictive and help is available while also doing everything they can to suck you in deeper; social media has nothing on sports betting. There's a clock that tells you how long you've been in the app, which is meant to make sure you take breaks but is actually very stressful because I keep thinking it's timing me like I'm taking an exam; on the other hand it won't let you sort your bets by date so you can easily see what's coming next and then log off.

But I'm not here to talk about manipulative apps or betting or even footie. I'm here to talk about...

table tennis

Because one way they keep you on the site is to offer limited live streaming of sports you can bet on in real time and i miei amici, at the moment there is a table tennis championship tournament in progress.

It's like watching some kind of absurdist performance art unfold. You can see plenty of finals matches in nice venues with audiences and high res filming at YouTube, but what I am guessing are the prelims are played in a small rather dimly lit room with a single fixed camera at a distinctly "surveilling the inmates" angle. There's a game table, the two people playing, and a nearby desk where the referee sits. And then they play table tennis with the focused determination of military snipers.

This is a screenshot of what is actually a nicer video than the streams at the sports book (which doesn't let you screenshot) but you get the idea.

Don't get me wrong, I respect table tennis as a sport requiring skill and dedication I don't personally possess. It's not the ping pong of it all that gets me. It's the weird utilitarian grimness of the visual, like it's footage from a military experiment in a dystopian thriller film. It's what I imagine the filmed aesthetic of the Russian Sleep Experiment creepypasta would be.

I'm not betting on the games but I'm not gonna lie that I haven't watched a few matches. These men certainly come to win.

Just a thought, you know that Canada would drag his family into ice sports with him.

Figure skating? France would love the artistry.

Curling? England would appreciate the strategies.

Hockey? Time to bash America into the boards.
