What I don’t get is how does the CBC run ads for “illegal” gambling sites at the same time as running ads for the govt. run sites which shit on the illegal sites. So stupid

Mr.Money 10-26-2023 05:24 PM

gambling sites like stake is pretty great imo for being "off-shore"


but dont gamble.. its way too easy to lose your ass if you're not smart. i've always checked these off shore gambling sites and they are in the 8 to 10 billion in net worth.. and i always watch people on my discord do there summer savings like 4,000 dollars to lose it all on one bet..


FeelsBadMan Shit is better to stay away from unless you're an expert at calling UFC fights... some people are.

I’ve always only used Bodog, “illegal” but has been 100% reliable in every bet and cash out I’ve ever made

With that said I have friends that have lost 6 figures gambling and I don’t think the CBC of all avenues should be the ones promoting it.

Both AB teams lost 3-0 tonight. Oilers are 1-5-1, Flames are 2-5-1 ... Someone is going to get fired.

Double double.

I suck at gambling. I picked up some free credits when there were promos and even that, I kept picking the wrong teams to win.

I'm too discouraged now, I don't even bother redeeming the free credits anymore.

I bet on sports once like 15 years ago, got fucked by bad refereeing. Never again. Would have won a lot of money too

68style 10-27-2023 07:16 AM

Did you guys hear Podkolzin got super fucked up the other night? Scary shit... similar to how Matheson threw Petey down to the ice in his rookie season but way worse... Podz got tossed down and then apparently he was convulsing having a siezure on the ice for several minutes before they could stabilize him and get him to a hospital.

I haven't heard much updates on his condition but wow... poor guy had 6 goals in 6 games up to that point too, finding his confidence.

Fortunately, seems like he'll be ok.

I've always wondered for that no gambling rule in sports, how do you even enforce that if you have friends or family bet for you?

With the litany of betting sites, I'd imagine that would be pretty tricky to track in any meaningful way.

Hondaracer 10-27-2023 04:39 PM

They said on the radio this morning NHL players can bet on anything they want outside of anything to do with the NHL or relating to the professional league so presumably farm teams etc.

If they use licensed partner apps like Draft Kings and what not, they are tracked with extreme precision. They know who is betting, where they are when they bet.. If your sister bets, they will probably track your phone and see if you were nearby.

Maybe you can get away with it using burner phones and whatnot.. Or use underground betting apps using bitcoin... But why bother? Still a chance you get caught. And these guys are betting like hundreds or thousands of dollars like any jabronie.. It's such a waste.

if you are on a track record with big wins -say 40 grand. they'll send your winnings but need a bank record of where the money came from first. if they see its deposited from your friend a number of times on record... your winnings are forfeited because "Account sharing" and against terms of service you agreed to using the site.


lot of stupid people lost this way while getting the account completely shut down, it's all legal.

It's not the Winter Classic, but Heritage Classic this Sunday. Coined the Battle of Alberta, lol. They should rebrand it to the Battle of the Losers.

Went to the game last night, the new Jumbotron is pretty incredible, pictures don’t do it justice how big it is.

People always shit on the aqualinis but I’m sure A) this thing cost a tonne, and B) it’s so big that it’s virtually impossible to move out of the way for concerts etc. so they very clearly prioritized the Canucks experience over everything else

The new opening video is cringe to the max though and I don’t see it lasting more than half the season it’s like this avengers knock off thing that lasts wayyyyy too long lol

They were doing that cringey Avengers thing last year already when I went to the Bieksa retirement game. It's probably around to stay, it was so embarrassing.

Did it have like the dystopian AI head talking to the crowd then too? Lol fuck it was badddd

The refs are a joke in this game!!

Blatant penalty on the Rangers player during OT.

That player stuck out his leg to trip up Petey.

Rangers get a 3 on 1 odd man rush to score the OT winner.

They called it a freak accident on the news, but man, that didn't look like no "accident" Who falls like that?
