. I have been told that a few BCers have actually placed bets (money) in some internet betting sites. Question: How many BadmintonCentral members have placed bets (money) in Badminton matches before? I am just wondering because Badminton matches odds are now shown in some internet betting sites. .
No. I have never done online bet. Now, I do wonder if the house changes the odds when it is CHN vs. CHN. Seriously, BWF should ask LYB this question
Yes, One Hundred Plus in the most common wager. About the real bet, I wouldn't do it now when CHN can do the "manipulation" especially when it involves LD.
. I have discussed this with Loh before (in another thread - forgotten which one), but I remember telling Loh that when gambling is involved in sports, it could do harm to sports (via match-fixing). I shall do a search to find out in which thread we were talking about this matter. .
hehe when hobbies become a betting the love and passion toward badminton will become eager to win the bet dont think it is wise to try haha
there is no live coverage here where i live. so i have to rely on betting website for live coverage. i was made to put in £10 deposit so that i can watch badminton live on this betting website. just for fun, sometimes i would put £1 to bet a player i really like to win. my £10 deposit is not making any interest anyway and i'm not likely to top it up ever. my biggest win was betting sho sasaki to win against chen jin recently. the odd was 1:6. so I won £5 for that bet, sorry Chen Jin. i also made few winnings betting LCW to win straight set, that was very easy too because he is in form at the moment. my £10 deposit has grown to £23 forgive me for i have sin but i think it's nothing harmful as long that one doesn't get greedy.
Match-fixing legislation likely to become law (in Australia) . Match-fixing legislation likely to become law (in Australia) http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/story/518613.html?CMP=OTC-RSS ====== * ====== start article ====== * ====== Match-fixing legislation is on its way to becoming law in Australia after state sports ministers agreed at a meeting in Brisbane to adopt the measures proposed by sporting bodies. The proposal, which may include penalties of up to 10 years' jail for those found to be involved in match-fixing, was pushed along by cricket administrators, via the Coalition of Major Participation and Professional Sports (COMPPS), following the game's long and pained history of shady dealings between players and illegal bookmakers. The ICC has been watching developments closely; the Australian federal sports minister Mark Arbib met with the ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat in January to discuss the matter of government support in the fight to preserve the integrity of the game. "We do monitor these developments and I had met at the beginning of this year with the Australian Minister of Sport to discuss the issues," Lorgat told ESPNcricinfo. "If requested by governments or our member boards, we can provide the benefit of our experience in this area. "We have always stated that the fight against corruption is the responsibility of everyone concerned and this includes the ICC, member boards, players, governments and police. Indeed, as we have seen recently, corruption in sport is not limited to cricket and, as a world leader in this field, we are willing to share our experience and assist other sports to tackle the issue." Lorgat said any legislative support that could be put in place to help pursue those who would fix matches, was very welcome. "A regulatory framework with appropriate laws to deal specifically with sports corruption is better than no legislation and is something that we would support," he said. "As a sporting body, our code - and our mandate - covers only players, officials and other support personnel. We are not a law-enforcement agency, so if there are ways in which nations' legislative framework can help us to maintain cricket's integrity then naturally we would encourage and support that." James Sutherland, the Cricket Australia chief executive and the chairman of COMPPS, described the decision as historic. "Australia loves its sport and fans deserve the confidence of knowing there are robust governmental protections in place nationally to protect sport from corrupt influence and match fixing," Sutherland said. "We have been seeking these protections for many years and congratulate Federal Minister Arbib and his state and territory counterparts on today's historic decision to seek uniform national laws. "The foundation and strength of this policy is the unified approach used to create it, within the sports industry and the government. COMPPS is built on the mutual understanding and shared goals of Australia's sports bodies and today we have seen the power of this collective approach to the welfare of Australian sport." ====== * ====== end article ====== * ====== .
