Euro 2016: Portugal Reach Semis Without Winning a Game

Portugal has qualified for the Euro 2016 Semi-Finals for the sixth time, more than any other international side, after beating Poland on penalties after the teams drew 1-1 after 120-minutes of football.

Portugal will face Belgium or Wales for a place in the final of Euro 2016 despite failing to win a single match in 90-minutes throughout the entire tournament.

In 90-minutes of football, Fernando Santos’s side has drawn against Iceland, Austria, Hungary, and Croatia, at these finals. A last minute header from Ricardo Quaresma sealing the win in a dreadful Round of 16 tie against Croatia, and he was the hero once more scoring the winning penalty in another lacklustre Euro 2016 tie.

Poland came into the match with only one defeat in their last 13 games. Unlike Portugal, they had a few wins under their belt after beating Northern Ireland and Ukraine in the group matches. They defeated Switzerland in the Round of 16 via a penalty shoot out.

Brexit Vote Sees Surge in Racist Violence And Why I Turn to Poker For Hope

With the nation’s press running daily stories of increased violence in the United Kingdom in the wake of the LEAVE Brexit vote, Lee Davy explains why in his time of need he looks to poker for hope.

“Bunch of English C*nts!”

It’s 1992, and the Swedish star Tomas Brolin has just scored a screamer in the 82nd minute. England is heading home early from the European Championships, two years after we should have won the World Cup, and that was my friend Paul sharing his love for the English.

Paul is Welsh; a Valley Boy. Born and raised in a community of just over 3,000 people. He was sitting on my parent’s couch, in my parent’s home, next to my very English parents.

Russia gets third online betting site, plays whack-a-mole with unauthorized sites

Russia witnessed the launch of its third officially approved online sports betting site this week.

Winline, which operates 11 retail betting shops in major Russian cities, launched its Winlinebet.ru site this week. The site follows Liga Stavok and 888.ru, which launched in February and June, respectively, as the first authorized sites under Russia’s new sports betting regime.

Like those other two sites, Winlinebet.ru processes its payments via the TSUPIS centralized hub, which requires a three-stage registration process. To open a Winline account, punters have to first sign up with the betting site, then register online with TSUPIS, then physically present their passports at a Euroset mobile phone retail outlet, after which they’ll be allowed to make their first deposit – by check.

‘Cloud purchase’ sites allow China’s masses to skirt online lottery ban

China’s gambling masses have found yet another inventive way to circumvent their government’s restrictions, although the authorities are likely already readying their ban-hammer.

The latest pseudo-gambling phenomenon to take China’s netizens by storm is the rise of so-called ‘cloud purchase’ websites and apps. At their core, they resemble a traditional online marketplace, except the goods up for sale aren’t really for sale. Instead, users buy the equivalent of raffle tickets that offer a chance at winning anything from an iPhone to a Mercedes Benz.

The cost for a ticket can be as low as RMB 1 (US 15¢) but, like any raffle, the likelihood of holding the randomly selected winning number depends on how many other people are vying for the prize.

Some users try to boost their odds of winning by purchasing ever greater number of tickets. The low cost of entry lulls some users into buying massive amounts of tickets, including one Guangzhou tech worker who claims to have spent RMB 160k ($27k) in six days before he snapped out of it.

Spain revives BCN World project, reduces planned casino space by half

Spain is attempting to restart its stalled BCN World integrated resort zone with a new name and 50% less casino space.

On Thursday, the government of Spain’s autonomous Catalan region unveiled its revised plans to develop a tourist-friendly resort zone in the villages of Vila-seca and Salou on the Costa Daurada.

The long-delayed project, which had operated under various names (EuroVegas, BCN World) since it was first announced in 2012, is now operating under the decidedly unsexy umbrella of the Center for Recreation and Tourism (CRT).

Under the latest plan, the CRT will now feature a maximum of two casinos, down from six in the original scheme. Furthermore, the total amount of space occupied by these two casinos has been halved to 30k square meters, equal to about 4% of the overall tourist zone, which has also been scaled back from 1m square meters to 750k.
