To anyone who doesn’t know what Who Knows Wins is - it’s a football betting app. Someone creates a “league” and picks a list of matches, and everyone joins the league for say £1, and makes their predictions on the match. Whoever makes the most correct predictions wins the cash pot. The more people that join - the bigger the pot. So you don’t need to get every prediction right to win - you just need to get more right than everyone else!
Could be good fun imo.
EDIT: I’ve decided to create a league for it. See here - https://www.reddit.com/SoccerBetting/comments/k8jvpe/rsoccerbetting_who_knows_wins_league_08122020/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Hey everyone! I've been really geeking out on finding problems that I think could be turned into meaningful businesses. I'm sharing all my ideas here if you're interested. Here's what I've been thinking about lately -

Keeping track of betting lines is a pain

“I love sports betting but it’s hard to keep track of the betting odds on all the different betting apps. I’ve created a spreadsheet and do it manually, but I still need to search through all the sites to get the information. I’d definitely pay for something that did this automatically.” - Anonymous sports better seeking a solution.
Market Background/Opportunity Size:
Changes in sports betting law have created amazing entrepreneurial opportunities! It's like the goldrush here given how young this market is and how quickly things are changing in the US.
On May 14, 2018, the United States supreme court ruled the federal law prohibiting states from authorizing sports betting, protection act PASPA, unconstitutional. It is now up to individual states to decide if they want to authorize and regulate sports betting in their state. 18 states have fully legalized sports betting with 4 more passing bills just this year to legalize it (they aren’t operational yet).
Even though less than half of the US has legalized sports betting, the market cap was sitting pretty at $104.41 billion and expected to reach $155.49 billion by 2024 (this is an estimate, it was tough to nail down). This market is much larger if you include other global players like the UK, Australia, etc… who have already legalized sports betting. It’s clear that trends for this industry are going in the right direction and there’s still a strong opportunity for the first-mover advantage to take place.
Major Players:

• Draft Kings
  • Founded in 2012
  • 700 employees
  • Publicly traded
• Fan Duel
  • Founded in 2009
  • 1,000 employees
  • 412.6m raised
• Bet 365
  • Founded in 2000
  • 4,500 employees
  • Bootstrapped (if anyone has more info on this, please share)

Note: there are over 100 sports betting services on the market
The Opportunity:
As mentioned above, there is a huge problem with keeping track of all the different betting lines that exist - resulting in many people (unsuccessfully) using a spreadsheet. Here’s an article that explains why tracking betting lines is important.
The TL;DR is this, placing your bet on a site that has the most favorable odds results in you getting the highest return on that investment. Most people are doing one of these two things:

1. Nothing. Rather than checking to see where they can get the best returns, they are just using their core betting app and taking the odds they are given. Depending on the bet size, that leaves hundreds of dollars on the table.
2. Manually tracking the odds each betting site is offering and compiling the odds in a spreadsheet. This results in a lot of time spent switching between sites and transposing numbers.

Current Solutions:

• Manually tracking betting lines in a spreadsheet or on paper
• Smart Lines
  
  • Founded in 2018
  • 2-10 employees
  • Price: Free
  • Notes: They don’t aggregate betting lines from any of the major bookmakers.
• Action Network
  
  • Founded in 2017
  • 53 employees
  • Price: Free
  • Notes: At their core, Action Network is a sports analysis and media company. One of their features is line tracking across all the major bookmakers but it’s relatively hidden and poorly advertised.

How to Get Your First 10 Customers:

1. Define Your Early Adopter: Your TAM is anyone who participates in sports betting, but I’d focus your efforts on finding people who acutely experience this pain. People who are spending a lot of time and money on sports betting have the most to lose. More specifically, hunt for people who’ve already created solutions to this problem themselves - like those using homegrown spreadsheets.
2. Look for CDIs: When looking for channels to find potential users I ask myself “where do my potential customers hang out?”. In this case, I’d look at online communities like Sports Book and Sports Betting subreddits. By simply asking the question, “How do you track betting lines?” you’ll be able to start conversations with potential users about unmet needs.
3. Create an Online Ad: I’d next test an offer to see if you can acquire potential users to sign up for your service. This can be as simple as creating a landing page (using marketing language from the conversations above) and run a paid ad to your target audience to collect emails.
4. Build a Wizard of Oz Test: Now that you have a list from running the ad above, I’d see if you can monetize it. Contact people and charge a small fee to run a small wizard of oz test - you could manually pull lines based on the bets they're watching and send it to them in a daily email. Or, there’s likely a no-code tool you could use to scrape the data from existing sites and organize it for them.

I can see a freemium model working for this as well, so you may not need to monetize immediately. One great option would be to charge the bookmakers a fee for every bet you send to their platform.
Challenges:

• Is there a problem worth solving? Although this idea logically makes sense, there are flags raised because no company has solved the problem yet. Typically, you can validate some form of demand based on market signals or other competitors, but this seems like a blue ocean (both a good and bad thing). Follow the plan above and you should be able to tell quickly if you’re on the right track.
• Can you build it? The technology to create a product as this exists. That said, it may be difficult to pull data from the major bookmaker’s sites. The fact that Smart Lines doesn’t work with any of the major bookmakers left me scratching my head and wondering why.
• Legal Challenges? Sports betting is highly regulated like most industries that are birthed from law changes. Even being associated with this space is likely going to create some challenges. I'm not an expert in this space, so it's hard to say exactly what legal challenges may arise, but getting accessing other bookmaker's data and facilitating the betting process are two great places to start your investigation.

Additional Opportunities:
There appears to be no shortage of companies trying to become the next big bookmakers. But, there’s plenty of opportunities this burgeoning market has opened up beyond just being a bookie. With this market in its infancy, you can bet (pun 100% intended) that there’s going to be a lot of room to expand your offerings. Whether it be sports betting tips, predictions, tools or even becoming a bookie yourself, there’s money to be made here.
While doing research on this, I found many people are struggling with keeping track of their bets and recording their results. This could be an easy addition to a solution to tracking betting lines. Here’s what some people said -

BetWinner is one of the world’s largest online betting sites, and they offer everything, from an online sportsbook to an online casino. They’re known for offering an extensive selection of markets and also have unrivaled customer support. Their bonuses are also great, and you’ll be able to find great BetWinner promo code offers available to new customers.
In this BetWinnerreview, we’re going to be giving you an impartial, honest and in-depth look into this popular bookmaker – and what they have to offer when it comes to esports. For example, we’ll cover the BetWinner app, BetWinner esports markets, payment options and more. Let’s kick things off with a look at our editor’s review of the site, following by looking at the main BetWinner bonus offer, available to all new customers.
​

EDITOR’S REVIEW

BETWINNER

• Esports Offered
• Customer Service
• Deposit Options
• Player Value

Summary
BetWinner is a major name in the eSports betting industry and for good reason. They offer a vast selection of markets, but it’s not just their eSports that make them so desirable.
They also offer a substantial number of other sporting markets and events, with coverage all over the world. They offer more than 140 different payment methods (so there’s something for everyone), and their well-made, secure and reliable website makes betting easy. They also have a mobile app, which we’ll talk about later.

BETWINNER BONUS OFFERS

BetWinner’s new-customer welcome bonus is one of the most generous around – and you’ll be able to enjoy a 100% matched deposit bonus up to 100 EUR! It’s incredibly easy to claim the bonus; all you need to do is register an account and top up your account with up to 100 Euros. Your bonus will then be credited to your account automatically. Please note, the minimum deposit required in order to claim the bonus is 1 EUR.
You also may need to “agree” to receive the bonus, depending on which country you reside in. This can be done within the “Account Settings” page, or directly from the “Deposit” page.
The bonus comes with wagering requirements of 5X, which is pretty good overall. You also need to include at least 3 or more events in any accumulator bets, and at least 3 of these events must have odds of 1.40 or higher. You can read the full bonus terms and conditions from BetWinner’s main “Bonus” page.
Along with a hugely generous main welcome bonus offer, BetWinner also offers a wide variety of ongoing promotions. These are subject to change at any time, and they tend to bring out new offers weekly – but it’s common to see money-back specials, BetWinner promo code giveaways, and more. You can view full details of any ongoing (or upcoming) promotions from their “PROMO” tab which is found on the top-most navigation menu on their site.

BETWINNER ESPORTS BETTING MARKETS

A major part of writing this BetWinner review was taking a look at their esports betting markets. BetWinner offers a fantastic selection to choose from, and you’ll find everything from WarCraft III, PUBG, CS:GO, Dota 2, King of Glory and Rainbow Six.
Many BetWinner esports markets also offer a comprehensive selection of betting markets for you to choose from. For example, let’s take a look at one of their events: CS:GO. ESL One Road to Tio – Winstrike vs Syman.
Of course, you’ll find yourself able to bet on the overall match winner, but there’s a plethora of other markets available too. For example, you can attempt to guess the correct score – with lucrative payouts if you manage to do so. There’s a “Total Maps” market, and a “Total Maps Handicap” market. You’ll also find a “Total Maps Even/Odd” market providing even more betting options.
You can also put esports bets into other types of bet, including accumulators, system and chain bets. You’ll often see “recommended” bets further down the betting page when you enter a specific event page.
One of the things we really like about BetWinner is that they make it really easy to view even odds. For example, when they’re running lol events, you can easily and quickly view lol betting odds right from the main “esports” page. You can then click on a specific event to view a more comprehensive breakdown of the specific bet types which are available for that event.

HOW TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH BETWINNER?

BetWinner makes it very easy to open an account. They have a one-click registration process for players from certain countries. You can also press the “Registration” button to open your account using a phone number.

• Step 1: Choose your country, currency and enter a promo code if you have one.
• Step 2: You will then receive your username and password.
• Step 3: Add your email address and you’re ready to bet!

BETWINNER MOBILE APP

A big part of writing this BetWinner review was looking at the BetWinner app. It’s designed to let you place esports bets while on the move and is available to download – free of charge – on all iOS and Android devices.
The BetWinner app is smooth, well-made and easy-to-use. There’s a handy navigation menu positioned in the upper right-hand-corner of the screen, and this lets you work your way around. It’s possible to register an account directly from the app if you’re a new customer. If you already have a BetWinner account, you can log into the app using TouchID once you’ve entered your username and password once.
We tested out the app extensively while writing this BetWinner review. We really like the way you can search directly for events. Esports are far from being the most popular betting market offered at bookies today, so you won’t usually see them featured on the home page. Thankfully, using the app, you can search directly for the markets you want. Placing bets is also simple, and once you’ve added selections to your bet slip it’s a one-click process to confirm the bet amount and place it.
We should also point out that you don’t have to download BetWinner’s mobile app if you prefer not to. They also have a fully-functional mobile-optimized website, which allows you to place bets through your mobile device’s internet browser. It’s worth keeping an eye on their mobile promotions too, as there are sometimes special BetWinner bonus offers for mobile.

IS BETWINNER LEGIT?

In our opinion, BetWinner is one of the most trustworthy and reliable esports betting sites. For the purpose of writing this BetWinner review, we wanted to find out more about their licensing – and who actually regulates them. BetWinner holds a valid online gambling license from the Government of Curacao. This ensures the bookie adheres to strict rules and regulations and allows them to offer their services to customers all over the world.
This sportsbook website is also very secure. They use the latest HTTPS technology alongside state-of-the-art encryption. Not only does this make the overall betting experience faster, smoother and more reliable – it also ensures that your personal information/sensitive details are safe and secure.

Tony Defies His Father’s Life Lessons

Season 6, part 2, depicted Tony as a heavy gambler, one who risked far more money more often than had ever been suggested before. While he always profited significantly from bookmaking and loansharking enterprises (his own and those of his crew), his personal wagering was limited and low-key in the first five and a half seasons, consisting mostly of casual card games or the odd day at a casino or racetrack. He certainly had never been depicted as the kind of man who gambled enough to endanger his liquidity or to necessitate six-figure loans just to stay even with his bookies, which describes the state of affairs in the episode Chasing It.
His gambling problem becomes so significant in that episode that it’s even addressed in therapy. Tony admits he’s been sending “good money after bad” but quickly defends the practice. “If you couldn’t lose, what’s the fuckin’ point, huh? See, you need the risk,” he tells Melfi. She asks, “What are you chasing? Money or a high from winning?” His shake of the head indicates that he doesn’t really know the answer to her question.
Many viewers couldn’t provide an answer either and felt this sudden gambling crisis reflected a writing failure, an attempt to manufacture drama by imposing unnatural or contradictory behavior on a well-established character. I felt a bit that way myself until I began to consider the gambling in light of Tony’s contemporaneous, burgeoning, and subconscious anger towards his father at that point in the series. In that context, the gambling began to make perfect sense, and, once again, it all goes back to the night of the incident involving the cleaver.
That was the night when Johnny emphatically imparted to Tony the lessons that gamblers are scum and that gamblers who borrow money and fail to make timely repayment are even bigger scum. If, in the last half of season 6, Tony’s subconscious was stuck on the cleaver incident as the true genesis for his life trajectory and was subtly pushing him to rebel against his father 35 years after-the-fact, then borrowing huge sums of money, gambling it all away, and shirking the responsibility to repay the loans would be a natural, safe course for that rebellion to take. Making Hesh the victim of his irresponsible borrowing would be a bonus, since Hesh’s age and relationship to Johnny and to Tony himself make him another natural father figure.
Of course this is exactly what happens in Chasing It. Having already borrowed 200K from Hesh in the prior episode, Tony visits his home one night. In a near-replay of his gift to Beansie, he brings Hesh a Cleaver hat while expressly denouncing the movie itself as unfit for viewing, a blatant self-contradiction reconciled only in that it signals Tony’s ongoing subconscious preoccupation with the movie’s cleaver logo and themes of violent retribution against a father figure. In any case, Tony shares gossip about Phil’s “boss” party from which he’s just returned and offers an almost stunning sentiment when Hesh questions why he left the party and the company of his crew so early. “I look at my key guys . . . what’s number one on their agenda, you know? They’re all fuckin’ murderers for Christ’s sakes,” Tony jokes, only you get the feeling he’s more serious than not. “What I’m tryin’ to say is, it’s nice bein’ here.” “Here” of course meant in the company of a guy who he fancies is able to put friendship above business, who makes his living under the auspices and protection of the mob but without directly participating in its violent aspects.
The warm fuzzy feelings disappear pretty quickly, however, when Hesh reminds Tony of the outstanding loan. Even though Hesh makes clear he is only wondering about repayment of the principal and is not looking for a “vig”,” Tony unreasonably seizes on this debt reminder as grounds for judging Hesh to be a stereotypical, money-grubbing Jew. He insists on paying Hesh a vig anyway and rubs two quarters together in derision when Hesh stops by the pork store the following week. Suddenly Tony is offended at the notion of folks collecting debts and profiting from gambling loans, something he’s unapologetically done himself directly or indirectly all his adult life. Then again, his subconscious is in a different place than it’s ever been before, fixated on the pivotal events and people in his past that contributed to him becoming what he is instead of what he’d like to have been.
The always-prescient Hesh ominously notes that this is not the usual Tony. “He’s all worked up, or something. I don’t like the way he talks. Hostile remarks. It’s not like him. Makes me worry.”
A secondary thread in this episode deals with Vito Jr. experiencing behavioral and social problems in the wake of Vito’s death. He dresses full tilt “gothic” with black lipstick, overturns headstones for fun, kills a neighbor’s cat, bullies a handicapped girl at school, and craps in the gym shower as revenge on hateful peers who tease him because his father was gay and notoriously died with a pool cue rammed up his butt.
Marie Spatafore asks Tony for $100K to move far away where Vito Jr. can start with a clean slate. Reluctant to give her that kind of money, Tony tries first to make Phil, as Marie’s cousin and Vito’s executioner, assume financial and quasi-paternal responsibility, with predictably bad results. Underscoring yet again the fatheson/surrogate theme of season 6, part 2, Tony tells Marie, “It’s not easy to substitute for a dad. I know. But maybe I can fill in here.”
Tony does talk to Vito Jr., employing a tact reminiscent of his intervention with AJ in Johnny Cakes and polar opposite of the one his father undertook with him after Satriale’s. He tries to plant or reinforce in Little Vito’s own mind a fundamentally good self-image by praising that he’s always been a “good kid.” Vito rejects Tony’s presumptuousness, noting that Tony is such a stranger to their family that he often mistakenly calls him “Carlos, Jr.” instead of “Vito Jr.” Still Tony tries to accentuate the positive. “Look, all I know is I couldn’t shut your dad up about what a good kid you were,” he scolds. “We were friends you know.” “But buddies?” Vito asks sarcastically. After excusing the zinger, Tony offers some genuine compassion for what it’s like to lose a father you loved and yet who caused you shame or disappointment at the same time. “I’m sure you miss him . . . a lot . . . whatever he was.”
Obviously this encounter is included in the story for what it says about Tony, not for what it says about Vito Jr., an inconsequential character in the overall scheme of the show. Tony’s counsel reveals his own latent conflicts, that despite what Johnny Boy was, and what Junior was, they were his father and uncle, the most important men in his life, the men who were around him throughout his formative years and who provided what measure of paternal love he knew. Not all of it was bad. Very much like what Tony recounts regarding Christopher’s childhood -- holding him as an infant and riding him around on his butcher bike -- there were endearing memories and experiences, enough that he could still love these men despite all the harm they caused him.
Little Vito is correct that Tony has no idea whether he (Vito) is an intrinsically “good kid”, and we have no idea whether Vito Sr. ever said or harped on that fact to Tony (probably not). But it doesn’t really matter whether either is true. Tony says these things because he intuitively recognizes how damaging it was to his own psyche and self image as a kid to hear his father euphemistically tell him after the cleaver incident that he innately possessed the sadistic, evil, or predatory nature to do what he witnessed in Satriale’s. He knows at a core, unconscious level that living up to his father’s concept of him was more important than living up to his fledgling concept of himself, a self-concept which, stripped of his father’s corruption, is revealed in all its relative innocence and idealism in Join the Club. That Tony is a mild-mannered salesman, loves his wife and kids so much that he sabotages his one chance at an illicit affair with an attractive woman, is naturally uncomfortable with minor credit card fraud, and is positively stunned at a level of violence in which another person merely slaps his face. So his effort to make Vito Jr. think of himself as a “good kid” and to internalize his father’s ostensible view of him as the same is Tony’s effort to help Vito Jr. avert the self-doubt and sense of innate moral inferiority that paved his own path to a life of crime.
Though I don’t think Chasing It asks us to make this juxtaposition, I can’t help but recall another, early episode featuring Hesh, Denial, Anger, Acceptance. There the Hasidic motel owner tells Tony he is a “golem”, a “monster, Frankenstien”, prompting Melfi’s question near the end of the episode, “Do you feel like Frankenstein . . . a thing, lacking humanity, lacking human feelings?” We don’t hear Tony’s answer in the therapy room, but it’s provided years later in his Test Dream when Tony the “mobster” (“monster” minus an “n” plus a “b”) runs from a torch-bearing, lederhosen-clad mob. Yes, he feels like Frankenstein, a monster, albeit one created by other people, against whom we can presume he bears a serious grudge.

Chris’ Displaced, Murderous Rage as a Precursor to Tony’s

In Walk Like a Man, Chris finds himself “ostrafied” by his mob cohorts because, in his effort to stay sober, he spends very little time with them at the Bing. When he does see them, he is ridiculed for drinking non alcoholic beverages and witnesses his once-favored status and earning opportunities in Tony’s crew being usurped by Bobby Bacala. Chris seeks Tony’s understanding for the fact that he inherited alcoholism from his mother, making sobriety especially difficult for him to maintain. But Tony doesn’t buy this “excuse”.
Tony: I know a crutch when I see it.
Chris: So my dad? You obviously musta knew he had a crutch.
Tony: What the fuck are you talkin’ about?
Chris: Com’e on, Tone, huh? Between the coke, the vodka, whatever the fuck else he was squirtin’ up his arm. Let’s be honest about the great Dickie Moltisanti, my dad, your hero. He wasn’t much more than a fuckin’ junky.
Tony is speechless. He doesn’t know what to think or say in the face of a son calmly debunking a lifetime of false paternal myth and hero worship and replacing it with naked, unvarnished, and unflattering truth. He is undoubtedly also disturbed to see the pedestal he built under another of his own father figures crash to the ground so suddenly and emphatically.
Elsewhere in the episode, Paulie provokes a squabble with Chris over stolen power tools that ultimately results in Chris beating and throwing Little Paulie out of a second story window and Paulie driving his car like a high-speed plow over the expensive new landscaping at Chris’ home while Kelly watches in terror. Tony forces a truce, which Chris seals with a drink to placate Paulie. This sacrifice and effort to fit in is rewarded when Paulie mocks Christopher’s drunken soliloquy about his daughter and makes her the butt of two cruel jokes in front of the crew. As Chris’ “friends” convulse in laughter, and especially as he absorbs the depths of betrayal written in the broad smiles of his “father figures”, Paulie and Tony, Chris storms out of the Bing and to the home of JT Dolan.
There’s a natural symmetry to him showing up in that moment at the home of the screenwriter who helped him express his covert hatred of Tony Soprano in a movie script. But on this night, the hatred spurting out of him is far more urgent and tangible. He threatens to “bring everybody down” by revealing sensitive secrets, like the truth behind the murders of Ralph and Adriana, and notes the rewards of the Witness Protection Program. He even mentions that Sammy “The Bull” Gravano is “living large” in the program in Arizona, a remark with some portent for the next episode.
JT repeatedly warns that he doesn’t want to hear these things that could get him killed and is unmoved by Chris’ plea for sympathy. “You know my father abandoned me,” Chris cries. “I thought you said he was shot,” JT fires back coldly before trying to shock Chris back to the realities of the life he chose: “Chris, you’re in the Mafia!”
Clearly Chris doesn’t subscribe to the “don’t shoot the messenger” theory. He impulsively draws his gun and blows a hole through JT’s head, but driving the action is the anger accompanying his sense of paternal betrayal and abandonment. It’s a transparently displaced act of rage reminiscent of the beatings Tony administered to Georgie through the years when the motivating anger was actually aimed at others or at himself.

A Reprise of Tony’s Paternal Guilt

Just as Christopher’s paternal hatred was exploding, Tony’s was imploding. And, once again, the explicitly acknowledged guilt Tony feels as a father and the unacknowledged blame he dispenses as a son are part of the same, swift current.
In Walk Like a Man, Tony has decided to quit therapy once and for all following Melfi’s demand that he honestly assess its value to him and whether he is serious about continuing. But before he can share his decision with her, Blanca ends her engagement to AJ, plunging the younger Soprano into a deep, suicidal depression.
When AJ cries that Blanca was “the best thing that ever happened” to him, Tony makes his most concerted effort of the series to boost AJ’s self-esteem and convince him of his intrinsic worth, telling AJ that plenty of girls would love to have a guy like him. AJ tearfully scoffs.
AJ: Yeah, right. Like I’m so special.
Tony: [earnestly] You’re damn right you are. You’re handsome and smart . . . a hard worker. And, let’s be honest, white.
I guess Tony had limited raw material to work with, but he did his best to sell all points.
AJ’s crisis causes a reversal in Tony’s decision to quit therapy, making his position in his next session paradoxical. On one hand he declares that therapy has been one big “jerk off” but allows that he is now “trapped [there] forever”.
The immediately striking aspect of this scene is that Tony is intellectually aware of the reasons for AJ’s depression: painful, personal rejection and the demise of his first, serious romantic relationship. That could happen to any young person in any walk of life with any kind of father or background and produce serious depression. But Tony’s awareness of this fact doesn’t stop him from feeling he is to blame for AJ’s plight.
Tony: Obviously I’m prone to depression . . . a certain bleak attitude about the world. But I know I can handle it. Your kids, though.
[His watery eyes and frangible voice betray the sincerity of his emotions as he continues.]
Tony: It’s like when they’re little and they get sick. You’d give anything in the world to trade places with them so they don’t have to suffer. And then to think you’re the cause of it.
Melfi: How are you the cause of it?
Tony: It’s in his blood, this miserable fuckin’ existence. My rotten fuckin’ putrid genes have infected my kid’s soul! That’s my gift to my son.
A long pause ensues as Melfi absorbs the importance of the moment. These words are almost a verbatim echo of Tony’s emotional outpouring years before in Army of One, the only time he came really close to condemning his gangster way of life and particularly its harmful effects on his son. His verbiage here is even stronger in that he speaks of having “infected [AJ’s] soul”, a metaphor with considerably greater moral and spiritual weight than implied by the innocent, biological conveyance of a defective gene for regulating serotonin uptake.
So, as before, this confession of guilt and sorrow is clearly about more than genes. It’s about more than Tony wanting to save AJ from romantic heartbreak. This is about Tony feeling an inexorable corruption of his own humanity and sense of worth by the influence and value system of his violent father. And it’s about his concomitant guilt for fearing that, as a man like his father, he has done the same thing to AJ.
Just as in Army of One, Melfi’s gentle tone of voice signals how much she’s pulling Tony to make these realizations while his angry tears show how much he’s pushing to resist them.
Melfi: I know this is difficult. But I’m very glad we’re having this discussion.
Tony: Really? Really? ‘Cause I gotta be honest. I think it fuckin’ sucks.
Melfi: What does?
Tony: [yelling] Therapy! This! I hate this fuckin’ shit!
And there, in a nutshell, is the problem. He can’t stand to feel sorrow or indulge the pain of deep introspection, a theme recurrent through the series and explored openly in House Arrest and The Ride.
It’s no coincidence that Walk Like a Man and a number of other episodes from the final nine essentially begin by showing Tony soundly asleep in his bed. It’s also no coincidence that, after waking in Walk Like a Man, he plods downstairs while singing a verse from the Pink Floyd classic “Comfortably Numb”, a song which also features prominently in the following, culminating episode. Remaining numb to his deeper feelings of conscience and humanity is both the secret to Tony’s success as a gangster and the reason why some of his most personal, tactile acts of violence have followed moments of great sorrow (e.g., belt-whipping Zellman, killing Ralph, viciously beating a drugged-out Christopher after the Adriana hit.) Psychological distraction and extreme sensory manipulation are the keys, whether achieved by adrenaline-inducing violence, compulsive sex, compulsive eating, compulsive spending/material acquisition, or compulsive sleeping. The objective in all cases remains to either feel anything but pain or to feel nothing at all.
Walk Like a Man brings these deeply repressed feelings close enough to the surface that Tony glimpses the price of dredging them all the way up. And it’s not a price he’s willing to pay.
He knows that in order to “grow”, to truly progress in Melfi’s office, he has to be willing to essentially condemn an entire lifetime of immoral choices and acts that inflicted immense suffering on other people. He has to be willing to experience the guilt and remorse associated with that process. He has to be willing not only to smash the pedestal he erected under his father and denounce his way of life and his example but to own the fact that he willingly followed in his footsteps as an adult, compromising the potential of his children and especially of his son. In short, he has to do what the monks in his coma dream were suing to make him do: take personal responsibility for his life and actions. No more blaming Livia consciously or Johnny Boy unconsciously. No more blaming Junior or Paulie or Dickie because they were equally poor surrogate fathers. No more “going about in pity for himself” because of his upbringing.
All of this is why the explicit admission never comes, the breakthrough never truly occurs. It’s too hard. It opens him up to too much sadness and regret and sense of waste and failure in his life. As hard as it is at times for him to live with the repression of those feelings, repression is easier than confrontation and all its consequences.
Of course the very fact that Tony has such feelings to repress has always been paramount for me. Though his actions grew increasingly dark over the course of the series, he always betrayed evidence of some conscience, some capacity for love, some capacity for sorrow and moral conflict, without which I can’t imagine that I would ever have been as obsessed with this show as I became. I cared about him and devoted so much passionate energy to trying to understand him only because his vulnerability and shreds of goodness made him, in my judgment, worthy of caring and understanding.
The humanity was often microscopic, but it was there, even in relation to some of the darkest deeds on the show: the way he was haunted briefly after killing Matt Bevalaqua, who he recognized was barely more than a “kid”; his reaction to the way Richie Aprile maimed Beansie; his long resistance to the idea that Pussy was a rat that had to be killed as well the way the murder troubled him well afterward; the way he uniquely (among the crew) was saddened by and took moral issue with what Ralph did to Tracee. We glimpsed his humanity in his red, grief-swollen face and defeated voice in All Due Respect when he instructed Chris where to find and bury the body of Tony B. We even saw it after he coldly ordered Adriana’s execution, both in the angry beating he administered to Chris (classic distraction from sorrow and punishment of Chris for having “created” the whole situation to begin with) and in his lumbering, emotionally oppressed frame and countenance in the closing scene of Long Term Parking.
So by the time of Kennedy and Heidi, even though there was nothing new about Tony killing people for whom he felt some form of affection, there was something entirely new about him killing a loved one without any trace of regret, sadness, or moral conflict. That’s why his seemingly remorseless, defiantly triumphant murder of the young man he thought of as a surrogate son forever changed the way I view Tony Soprano. Or at least I thought it did.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 76%. (I'm a bot)

The brothers who own high street bookmaker Betfred are making millions from a business that provides treatment for health problems, including gambling addiction for public sector staff, the Guardian can disclose.
Its taxpayer-funded clients include multiple NHS trusts that also treat gambling addicts as well as staff working for MPs, some of whom campaign for tighter restrictions on gambling.
The contracts mean Health Assured's services are potentially used by tens of thousands of government employees, particularly in the NHS. The mental health chief of the NHS, Claire Murdoch, has written to the Gambling Commission this week to say the service should not be left to pick up the pieces from gambling firms' tactics to retain customers with addiction issues.
In the letter, Murdoch said: "As the head of England's mental health services and a nurse of more than 30 years' experience, I have seen first-hand the devastating impact on mental wellbeing of addiction and am concerned that the prevalence of gambling in our society is causing harm."
According to Health Assured's website, NHS staff can access counselling for issues such as "Reckless behaviour", including excessive drinking or gambling.
The Dones were asked whether or not they considered ownership of both a gambling company and a provider of gambling addiction counselling services constitutes a conflict of interest.

Either you are an Android user, IOS or WEB based client u can participate in every betting event that will occur. About the language support of the platform, Betbox will use English as the main language for the betbox User interface. The User of the Platform can earn rewards in the form of OX token in the following ways
Voting Reward

The Betbox Platform

Good day to everyone in this article I’m focusing on Betbox Platform about their OX-token, Events, and Program that participants can interact and participate within the platform.

Problem and solution of betbox platform

• End-user cannot verify the integrity of a service provider
• Cannot access the money flow
• Loss of the usage of decentralized bookmakers in the smart contract

Trust and Transparency- only participants are the sole decision-maker in all the process in the bet box platform using smart contracts to perform all money related action.
Service availability/downtime- even the server is out of action betbox smart contract will always be running.
Scalability of the ecosystem- betbox will deploy EVM sidechain (Ethereum virtual Machine) with POA consensus (Proof of Authority) and Distributed community nodes.

Ox token and Ox-Node program

OX token is the native currency of the betbox platform, it will be used as payment within the platform and can be used to participate in betting events.
Betbox platform will also have a NODE called OX-Node program where the holders of this OX token can participate in the staking process. They say that the availability of this program is only limited so better don’t be late if you target for buying OX token is to stake them. As in the Whitepaper stated that all commissions Produced by betbox platform in their OX-Sidechain will be spread proportionally to all participants of the OX-node program. So an investor that holds at least 100,000 OX token can or may apply to become a member of their consortium. For the application of the seat of the staking program, betbox will prioritize to all participants of their TGE (Token Generation Event). Being the TGE Participant of Betbox is just simply being the first Owner of OX token.
One thing that I Noticed that This OX token has no maximum supply, the question is how can we get another OX token? In the whitepaper, they concluded that in a minting consensus or they say the Proof of Activity token, there will be a new issue of this Ox token, they stated that OX token can be earned by participating in activity conduct on the platform in the way of betting. So the newly created OX token will randomly be distributed. There will be an election that the winner is based on RNG Ethereum public main net. So the chances of the participants winning a new-minted OX token depends on the particular betting contract in simplest way of explanation u cannot get a new OX Token if you don’t participate in betting because it’s the only way that a new ox token will be created.
The betbox platform will only create a 100,000,000 Ox token that will be divided for the following allocation program.
80,000,000 for their TGE
8,000,000 OX token for the bounty program and
12,000,000 OX token for the company reserve
Of a total of 100 million OX token that will be created see fig, below

Betbox Platform Buyback and Burn Program

Another Program of This Platform that I like is their Buyback and burn program, but most of the ICO nowadays have such strategy to increase the value of their Product, in Betbox platform this strategy is to moderate or to prevent inflation of the OX token another thing that this program is voluntarily and not mandatory for each holder of the OX token. The idea that came in my mind that they have this strategy because there’s no max supply of the OX token.

So how can you participate in this kind of event?

Holder will send their ox token to the previous published smart contract and these contracts have a timeframe before the buyback and burn will execute. The buyback and burn will happen 4x a year because every each quarter of a year betbox platform will conduct this event. When it comes to Transparency record, Betbox will publish it on their official channel so that there’s no malicious that will happen. The profits of this will proportionally be distributed to all that who participate.

The TGE Participants Ticket and how can you get one

This ticket is an ERC721 token that will be given for all lucky winners of the lottery event of Betbox. This ticket is very important because, without this, you cannot participate in the Private sale event because this is one of their criteria. So now how can you win this ticket? Simple, the user’s will gamble this using a Smart Contract that will provide by betbox.

• User’s that will participate in this lottery games provided by betbox requires 0.1 ETH
• The Smart Contract for the lottery games will be published in Betbox Channel and can be accessed through Betbox alpha on https://betbox.app/
• The TIcket Supply Has no limit

The betting business has a critical idea in the hard and fast idea of the worldwide money related market. Many will probably agree with me that every individual is in vitality and various bookmakers use this inadequacy to us. The current fused models of betting associations are genuinely unrealistic and closed to customers. Most of the information on created by such associations is closed to customers, this fuses the improvement of coefficients, the Arbitrary Number Generator, the instruments for the withdrawal of earned resources, the general budgetary activity of associations. Likewise, with a concentrated model, there is a peril of blocking customers by the association and loss of cash related resources that go into the record. Regardless, excitement for the betting business is extending every year. The headway of blockchain development clearly in such way would altogether be able to change this industry and make it logically speaking to customers.
Defining Betbox
Betbox is a decentralized, open source event betting application dependent on the Ethereum blockchain. The decentralized model gives an open improvement of the coefficients, similarly as the quick and sensible movement of benefits right away. In like manner, customers in the application will approach throwing a poll limits if there should be an occurrence of inquiry, which explicitly shows that customers are of vital centrality on the stage. In order to expand the adaptability of the natural network and the probability of further test with united models, the application will send an EVM side chain with an understanding of POA and spread center points, which will give fast framework exchange speed and lively confirmation everything being equivalent. Limits that will be passed on in Betbox:
The Uniqueness of Betbox
The standard favored point of view of Betbox is the ability to set bets between something like two customers on a circulated reason, with the setting of the bet and an individual accord check. Here it is possible to orchestrate and relate the going with options: Russian Roulette, Shoot-Out, Crypto Raiiy (ERC-721 association), Rich Me and various others.
Betbox will be open to customers in the web variation, similarly as an application for Android and IOS clients. Token regard and token-bargain. The Betbox condition will have its own one of a kind Bull token, which will be used as a strategies for portion and as a betting cash for getting the Confirmation of Power scattered framework. In order to fabricate the estimation of the token and lessening extension, a part of the tokens of customers can be burned as an end-result of ETH.

Greetings to all significant crypto community! The rates industry has a significant share in the total share of the global financial market. Many will probably agree with me that every person’s blood is in excitement and many bookmakers use this weakness to us. The current centralized models of betting companies are rather doubtful and closed to users. Most of the information on the work of such companies is closed to users, this includes the construction of coefficients, the Random Number Generator, the mechanisms for the withdrawal of earned funds, the general financial activity of companies. In addition, with a centralized model, there is a risk of blocking users by the company and loss of financial resources that go into the account. But, nevertheless, interest in the betting industry is increasing every year. The development of blockchain technology of course in this regard can significantly change this industry and make it more attractive to users.
Consider a startup Betbox. Betbox is a decentralized, open source event betting application built on the Etherium blockchain. The decentralized model provides an open construction of the coefficients, as well as the rapid and fair distribution of funds without delay. Also, users in the application will have access to voting functions in the event of disputes, which directly indicates that users are of paramount importance on the platform. In order to expand the scalability of the ecosystem and the possibility of further competition with centralized models, the application will deploy an EVM side chain with a consensus of POA and distributed nodes, which will provide fast network bandwidth and quick confirmation of all operations. Functions that will be deployed in Betbox:

• individual rates;
• private P2P. The main advantage of Betbox is the ability to set bets between two or more users on a peer-to-peer basis, with the setting of the bet and an individual consensus calculation. Here it is possible to configure and connect the following options: Russian Roulette, Shoot-Out, Crypto Raiiy (ERC-721 interaction), Rich Me and many others. Betbox will be available to users in the web version, as well as an application for Android and IOS clients.

Token value and token-sale.
The Betbox ecosystem will have its own OX token, which will be used as a means of payment and as a betting currency for obtaining the Proof of Authority distributed network. In order to increase the value of the token and reduce inflation, some of the tokens of users can be burned in exchange for ETH. ICO details and token sales. Token symbol: OX Marker Standard: ERC-20 1 OX = 0.0004 ETH (discounts are available on purchase) Soft Cap = 4,000 ETH Hard Cap = 32,000 ETH Accepted Payments - ETH Today, the private sales stage is underway, the beginning of the public sales stage will be announced later. We will follow. According to the information posted on the Roadmap, the launch of the beta version on Android and IOS is scheduled for Q1 2019, but due to the downward trend of the overall market, the deadlines may be shifted. Well, let's see! Well, to summarize, I’ll say that the project is interesting to me personally, since I’m a passionate person and I often make bets, mainly on sports and I really know the problems of this industry, in particular, there have been cases of blocking my accounts and large amounts of winnings. If the project really creates everything that it has planned, then it will be interesting to many players. But here a big role will be assigned to the marketing company of the project. The information presented in the article is purely research in nature and is not an incentive for your investments. Make informed decisions based on your own analysis and experience.
