[00:01] the channel, first of all, I want to say a huge thank you for the fact that despite my long absence, you not only did not unsubscribe but also continued to wait for my new videos. This is really nice. Thank you
[00:13] This is really nice. Thank you guys, guys, I'm a regatta. Until had advantages: videos exposing financial pyramids and publicly flogging those who advertise them. But ceramides are just the tip of the iceberg. The Internet is
[00:27] full of other fraudulent schemes and we will definitely go through them all, but unfortunately, not right away. I suggest first of all drawing your attention to sports betting and everything related to them. Why this particular topic? Yes, because what is
[00:41] person who sometimes places bets, simply blows my mind. It's worth the topic of football or, God forbid, also football predictions, as those same friends start breaking into housing with an offer to buy a forecast or some kind of
[00:56] express with cosmic odds. I am also annoyed by mommy copiers who spam everywhere possible with an offer. They try to foist their forecast on you, they ban them, they create new pages, and so on, everywhere and endlessly. Anyone who is interested in
[01:10] football or betting is sure to encounter similar things every day. School to peers. Good day, dear subscribers, this is the first release of the project, forecasts from a schoolboy, offering all the remakes of new videos. To figure it all out and finally
[01:24] answer the question: is it possible to make money on bets and how much does it cost to buy sports forecasts? Before we begin, I would like to immediately analyze all the possible popular questions that you will have while
[01:36] watching my videos. We are diving into a new topic on my the comments why exactly this way and not otherwise, I decided today to record a separate video for you with an analysis. The topic is actually a sharp concept. Fraud is very
[01:51] closely related to legal work. Therefore, in order to get to the truth and publicly call someone a scammer or their accomplices, you need to fully understand all aspects of the process. To figure this out, and how much I don’t know the
[02:04] figure this out, and how much I don’t know the essence of the matter. Wandering the vastness of the Internet, I often come across different opinions from both bloggers and unknown commentators. Some say that betting is Evil is a scam, and so on, and others, on the contrary, defend it
[02:17] by bragging about astronomical winnings. What do I think about all this? Let me share my subjective opinion with you. Overall, I consider sports betting to be a perfectly adequate form of entertainment with a right to exist. Betting at
[02:30] bookmakers is not prohibited by law, and bookmakers are officially financial pyramids, bookmakers have every right to operate in our territories of legality of a bookmaker, simply go to any search engine and enter
[02:46] example, on this website, we can see which bookmakers operate legally in the Russian Federation. If that's not enough, we can even go and check the bookmaker's presence on the
[02:59] Federal Tax Service list. We go to official websites and check, for example, for this bookmaker, 1xbet, which belongs to the company Bookmaker Pub. We enter the company name in the search engine
[03:12] and voila, we see the company's name in the list of registered companies. Now, if someone says that this blogger or some other site advertised this bookmaker, they supposedly support scammers. Know-it-alls, that's not true. They kicked out, or
[03:26] rather, some of the videos on your channel for advertising bookmakers. These companies essentially intimidate people out of their money. I thought it was normal. This bookmaker, in the eyes of the law, is a completely
[03:41] legal company to advertise and it's not a disgrace. I think you have a question about its hypostasis. Many financial pyramids also had various documents, certificates of registration. In your eyes, they weren't entirely legal. That's
[03:55] right, guys. In the case of financial pyramids, documents were often forged. And those who did register companies did only half the job, because registering with the tax authority only meant that the company pays taxes. What does the
[04:09] regulates your activities? God knows. Cash Take, for example, but didn't have a license from the Federal Securities Commission. That is, in theory, they had no right to issue loans or collect money from the population. That
[04:25] is, they worked illegally. They couldn't work legally, a priori, since they were a And as we already know, financial pyramids are prohibited by law. Vodka with Barry had to disguise itself as a credit institution. Bookmakers,
[04:39] unlike The pyramid schemes don't disguise themselves as anyone and they don't need it. They are not prohibited by law and the ban only applies to those who are not registered in the Russian Federation. Licenses for bookmaking activities in Russia are
[04:51] issued by the Federal Tax Service. Tax revenues from the gaming business go to state budgets and are used for physical I think we've settled the legality issue.
[05:07] definitely talk about what some bookmakers are already doing internally in a separate video. Now the main thing is to understand that video. Now the main thing is to understand that nine of all known ones operate legally in the Russian Federation. I think we've sorted this out, so let's move on. Selling
[05:24] sports predictions. I think this is the biggest topic. I'm sure after what I heard today, I changed one hundred percent about one thing. But please listen to the end. I believe that selling sports predictions is not
[05:39] fraudulent activity. Yes, yes, guys, you heard everything correctly. It's not fraud in the form I called it. Why? It's simple. Selling your knowledge somewhere is not illegal. It's
[05:54] considered illegal to deceive for profit. That's the whole problem. To understand this properly, let me tell you. I'll give you a simple example. There are two boys, Petya and Kolya. Petya is well versed in football. Place your bets on the registered
[06:08] territory of the Russian Federation. Bookmakers publish open, honest statistics The average pass rate for loop predictions is 70 percent. Petya is always in the black and, naturally, makes good money on this. Kolya also bets, but
[06:22] his business is already so bad that he can't bet on them. He's always losing. already so bad that he can't bet on them. He's always losing. says, "Hey, you're cool, you don't do anything, you sit at
[06:37] bookmakers." I want to bet like that too, but understand, I'm a complete idiot. Let me give you some money, and don't just tell me where to bet. Equip it, it's easy, and I have n't deprived you of it. Petya spins
[06:50] around and says, "Come on, there's no such thing as extra money. These guys have already started making money with Petya. 5. He gives Denis good predictions and bets on them himself." Everyone's making good money. These guys are our legitimate business. At that
[07:05] moment, the second boy, Kolya, saw that Petya was getting rich on BK, and people were flocking to him. He started making up statistics for himself. At that moment, the fraudulent actions took place. Kolya started telling everyone he was a cool
[07:18] guy and was making up statistics for wins of 90 percent. At that moment, some Maxim came along, pretending to be a Potassium statistician. He started singing statistics, saying, "What the hell, if you have a 90 percent win rate, let me give you some money." We discussed
[07:32] not only where to bet, but Kolya, naturally, gave Maxim his lousy predictions. Maxim lost everything and left in despair. Kolya continued to lie about statistics, still making up the same 90 percent. He was looking for a new sucker. You see, the
[07:46] money-making schemes are very similar, but in one version, it's the same honest copper-based business that takes place. I tell some that it's legal, and in the other, it's outright fraudulent activity. Even
[07:58] the article under this heading is a scam for the purpose of further profit. Unfortunately, many of the bloggers on YouTube and who suddenly started to trash this area, trash it and as if all activity is illegal, this, my dears, is not it and this is not worth fearing in the
[08:13] next videos, we will definitely touch on this topic in more detail, but for now, I think you got the point, so we can move on.
[08:27] Perhaps by this point you have a question. Stasya, do you bet on "you," Santa? I admit, I myself sometimes like to throw money on this or that team, because, you must admit, just watching football is not so interesting. When you bet,
[08:40] love for your team directly begins to depend on the amount of money bet on them. The more money you bet, the more interesting it is to watch the matches, the more you begin to root for your team. Well, in the event of a victory or defeat for your
[08:54] team, the emotions are much greater than just watching the match. But don't think anything like that. For me, this is nothing more than pleasure and entertainment. As an amateur, I have long ago managed to both drain and win back. I bought
[09:09] forecasts from scammers at the dawn of their appearance. I even managed to find people who gave more or less adequate forecasts for a long time. I 'll say this: I'm not a professional in this area, but believe me, I have something to
[09:21] tell you, and I sincerely want to share it with you today. I hope we've finally dotted all the i's and crossed the t's and are ready to begin further analysis of the situation in this market, but in more detail, I advise you to subscribe to the channel
[09:34] so you don't miss anything, because it will get more interesting later will get more interesting later [music]
