Gambling facilitators have been manipulating outcomes in several ways, since the beginning of time. Let’s now be naive about it.
Gambling site pays team tens of millions to have their name printed on the teams’ kit, and at the same time, thousands of people bet on that team’s matches outcome in that very same site.
I still don’t understand how this isn’t considered a conflict of interest, at the very least.
This is a bit BS, isn’t it? I cannot remember any time I stayed in any hotel in Spain, where they didn’t ask me for my ID (which they promptly photocopied), and a payment card (which they kept on file). So they already had the data, and from what it seems, they were illegally storing it, i.e. they weren’t following GDPR.
The difference is that all that data should now be uploaded to a government website.
Thus the problem here is that, since they won’t invest in protecting travellers’ data, they are now shifting the blame to the government.
I used to think Reddit users were too negative. Then I joined Lemmy.
I’m pretty sure you didn’t “explain” anything, but alright.
But again, there are so many recent examples of influence-peddling between gambling sites and teams and players, it’s not even a matter of why, but when.
