New York City’s Brooklyn abruptly stopped running

Понедельник, 09 Сентября 2024 г. 13:53 + в цитатник
The historic 97-year-old wooden roller coaster stopped during a run with amusement riders aboard. Several people were helped off the coaster after it was deliberately stopped while making an ascent.
 
Luna Park, the corporate entity that operates the largest amusement park in New York City, said the Cyclone was disabled after a damaged chain sprocket in the ride’s motor room was detected. The event resulted in riders being assisted in walking down the tracks.
 
At Luna Park in Coney Island, safety is our number one priority. Thorough testing happens daily before Luna Park opens and throughout the day as necessary,” Luna Park officials said. “The Coney Island Cyclone is a 97-year-old roller coaster that is meticulously maintained and tested daily.”
 
The NYC Department of Buildings issued Luna Park code violations for failing to maintain the ride and not notifying the city agency promptly about the Cyclone’s issues.
 
The Cyclone is three blocks east of where a consortium of gaming entities wants to build an integrated resort casino called The Coney. The group is one of 10 bidders seeking to acquire one of the three downstate casino licenses the New York Gaming Facility Location Board is expected to issue before Dec. 1, 2025.
 
Casino Seeks to Bring New Life to Coney Island 
Coney Island has seen better days. Once a popular seaside resort town for Manhattanites, Coney Island’s appeal peaked during the first half of the 20th Century. Now, it’s perhaps best known for its annual hosting of the Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4.
 
Numerous revitalization efforts over the decades have largely failed to bring economic prosperity to the neighborhood on Brooklyn’s southern end along the Lower New York Bay. Today, one in four Coney Island households live in poverty and the median household income is just $44,800.
 
The Coney, a proposed $3 billion undertaking from Saratoga Casino Holdings, the Chickasaw Nation’s Global Gaming Solutions, Legends Hospitality Group, and Thor Equities, says the casino resort would bring new life to the area, give a new reason for visitors to visit, and create thousands of good-paying, full-time, year-round jobs.
 
Coney Island’s unemployment rate of roughly 10% would be reduced, and the casino consortium says it’s committed to becoming a community partner by supporting local businesses by allowing rewards members to redeem points at neighboring restaurants and shops. The development group has also pledged to invest in infrastructure to ease congestion and work with NYC’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority to establish express subway service and expand ferry routes to and from Coney Island.  동행복권파워볼
 
Local Opposition 
Despite The Coney’s economic and community upgrade pledges, Community Board 13, which represents Coney Island in an advisory role on land use and zoning issues within the New York City government, opposes the $3 billion investment. In May 2023, Community Board 13 passed a resolution formally opposing the casino by a 23-8 vote.
 
Board members cited typical concerns associated with gaming developments, including the possibility of increased crime and other societal drains like problem gambling and bankruptcies. CB13 Chair Lucy Mujica Diaz also questioned whether The Coney’s jobs would pay too much and result in some community members losing their housing subsidies and rent vouchers.

Thailand’s controlling political party, the Pheu Thai, continues to pursue the authorization of casino resorts.

Should slot machines and table games come to the Southeast Asia nation that’s home to nearly 66 million people, new research formulated by a special House committee reported this week that the overwhelming majority of patrons would likely be Thai people.
 
The committee chaired by Deputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat reported to the cabinet that about 90% of casino guests would presumably be domestic residents.
 
The study used data analytics based on Macau, the Chinese Special Administrative Region where six casino operators report that about 90% of its patron traffic comes from local residents and people from the mainland. Using those gauges, the Thai House committee concluded that a similar forecast should be expected in its own casino resorts.
 
Local Focus
The study committee assumed that about 10% of the Thai population aged 18 to 75 who are not national welfare cardholders and therefore, would qualify to patronize a casino, would do so. That would equate to about 3.7 million people.
 
With Thailand attracting roughly 11 million foreigners a year, and the committee assuming that 10% of that population would be willing to gamble — or 1.1 million travelers — the report resolved that the possible casino customer base would total around 4.8 million people.
 
The committee believes its estimate is conservative, as global gaming industry research has concluded that about a quarter of adults gamble worldwide. Gambling has also historically been more a part of Asian cultures than in other parts of the world.
 
Gambling in Thailand is currently limited to horse racing wagering and the state-run lottery. However, illicit gambling like underground casinos and sports betting rings is rampant throughout Thailand.
 
Newly minted Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who assumed the office earlier this month after Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin resigned, is carrying on Srettha’s belief that regulated casinos would eradicate underground gambling, provide an economic and tax boost to Thailand, and increase tourism.
 
Srettha resigned effective August 14 amid political pressure for hiring Pichit Chuenban to work in his office. Pichit served jail time for attempting to bribe Supreme Court officials in 2008.
 
Casino Details
Paetongtarn’s Entertainment Complex Policy Committee will determine the precise regulations that will govern casinos in Thailand should the Senate vote to authorize an initial allotment of up to five resorts.
 
The regulatory committee continues to field public input, but has previously recommended charging casino operators a five billion baht (US$150 million) licensing fee renewable annually for one billion baht. Licenses would be good for a minimum of 30 years. 동행복권파워볼
 
The committee recommends that casino floors occupy 5% or less of each resort’s overall footprint. Locals, or Thai residents, would face entry fees to gamble, but the Entertainment Complex Policy Committee has suggested such tolls not exceed 5,000 baht, or about $150.
 
Las Vegas-based Wynn Resorts has publicly declared its interest in Thailand. Wynn remains bullish on foreign investment as it continues to construct Wynn Al Marjan Island in the United Arab Emirates, and is still heavily invested in Macau.

Director Jeon looking at the GSW Dynasty's main player Lee Jeok

Понедельник, 09 Сентября 2024 г. 12:12 + в цитатник
Mark Jackson talked about the transfer of Tamson.
 
Former Golden State coach Mark Jackson talked about Clay Tamson on "SWAY'S UNIVERSE" on the 9th (Korea Standard Time).
 
A one-club man star is one of the most romantic in the sports world. Michael Jordan was also a Chicago Bulls one-club man until his second retirement, and Lionel Messi also left for the U.S., pursuing his European career only at FC Barcelona.
 
Golden State is a team that built a dynasty with its own drafts. Stephen Curry, Clay Tamson, and Draymond Green, also known as the Curtamg Trio, are all players they have selected and nurtured.
However, the Curtamg trio officially disbanded last season, as a member of the team, Tamson, left Golden State and joined Dallas.
 
Golden State fans wanted them to be on the same team until the end of their careers, but unfortunately, it didn't happen. In the sports world, where many interests are intertwined, transfers can happen at any time. Curry and Green also expressed their understanding of Tamson's transfer.
 
Mark Jackson, a former Golden State coach and head coach when Tamson joined, talked about the gap between the ideal world and reality. He said not every player can retire from a team.
 
"In an ideal world, Clay Tamson would have ended his career at Golden State," said Mark Jackson. "But don't you know what this is like? Loyalty works in one direction and the sports world does not blame Golden State. Not everyone can stay in the same team until the end like Derek Jeter. In fact, looking back, we had no choice but to let Tamson go as much as he excelled." 메이저놀이터
 
Jackson supported Tamson by saying that he will leave Golden State unfortunately, but he will still be proud of him.
 
"Clay Tamson is going to be fine, and it's a good choice for Dallas. Unfortunately, he's not ending his career at Golden State, but I'm proud of him. I'm proud of him as a coach and as a friend," Jackson said.
 
It is expected to be on Nov. 13 that Thamson will visit the Chase Center for the first time since his transfer. It is also interesting to see how Golden State fans will greet Thamson wearing another team's uniform.
 

Is Son Heung-min playing 'free transfer' to Saudi Arabia?Tottenham reporter, "If both sides want, renew the contract."

Понедельник, 09 Сентября 2024 г. 11:40 + в цитатник
Alessdare Gold, a member of the British media "Football London" and a reporter exclusively for Tottenham, exchanged questions with fans through the media on the 8th (Korea Standard Time). Through this opportunity, fans were able to ask Gold questions about Tottenham and hear answers within the possible range.
 
Gold is a journalist dedicated to Tottenham who tries to grasp all of Tottenham's every move. He is famous for maintaining a close distance from Tottenham to the extent that he followed Tottenham around the two countries when Tottenham conducted preseason tours in Korea and Japan this year as well as in 2022.
 
One of the questions Gold was about whether Son Heung-min would renew his contract. "Do you think Sonny will get an offer to extend his contract soon?" one Tottenham fan asked, asking if Son Heung-min, who has only a few days left on his contract, could extend his contract with Tottenham.
 
Gold said, "I hope so," adding, "It's not clear whether Son Heung-min will be able to renew his contract with Tottenham, but he hopes Son Heung-min and Tottenham will continue."
 
Gold said, "Tottenham knows how much Son Heung-min means. Despite entering his 30s, Son is still a great player and biggest star. Son seems to be enjoying his captaincy," adding, "Tottenham has an option to extend Son's contract by one year, but if both the club and the players want it, it will definitely be done."
 
Gold's answer is the most positive prospect so far, with Son Heung-min's future with less than a year left in his contract. Until then, multiple local media predicted that Tottenham is more likely to trigger a one-year extension option than renewing his contract with Son Heung-min right away.
 
Son's age was a stumbling block. Born in 1992, Son, who is now 32, is no wonder at any time his skills have plummeted. No matter how living a legend he is of Tottenham, renewing his contract with a 32-year-old player carries risks.
 
Son Heung-min's age issue has also been pointed out recently.
Football London in the U.K. predicted the worst possible scenario for Tottenham ahead of the North London derby. The prediction combines the current situation of Tottenham and what could happen in the future.
 
Football London said that Tottenham's three main players might not be able to recover from injury. The three players are defender Mickey van der Pen, striker Dominic Solanke and Hisalisson.
 
"If Tottenham wins against Arsenal, they will be able to change their perception of the early days of the season," the media said. "To this end, coach Anji Postecoglou should mobilize all efforts." "However, new coach Solanke missed two matches due to ankle injury, and Van der Pen and Hisalisson were also unable to accompany him on the trip to Newcastle due to problems. Postecoglou will be hoping that the three players will be able to play in the match against Arsenal."
 
The other thing the media pointed out was that the main player was injured and returned from the A-match. The player worried about "Football London" was none other than captain Son Heung-min.
 
"The player Tottenham is most careful of is captain Son Heung-min," the media said. "Son Heung-min regularly travels around the world representing South Korea. Son Heung-min, 32, has played a tremendous amount of games over the past few years, but he has kept himself relatively injury-free, but he will be a growing concern as he gets older."
 
In fact, Son Heung-min is one of the players who feels a lot of physical burden every A match period at Tottenham. Although there is a direct flight from London to Korea, it is difficult to fly the plane itself, and considering the jet lag and the fact that he starts almost all games and plays full-time, Son must feel a lot of fatigue.
 
Therefore, local officials believed that Tottenham could first activate the one-year extension option, which is included in Son's current contract terms, tie him up until the 2025-26 season, and then re-sign Son or sell Son depending on whether Son maintains his skills or declines
 
It is true that the treatment is not appropriate for the club legend, who has devoted nine years to Tottenham alone and more than 10 years if he keeps the entire contract period. However, it is not strange to let an elderly veteran go at the right time from the club's point of view entirely.
 
In addition, Tottenham have already had this experience several times before.
 
Tottenham didn't leave much regret when they said goodbye to Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen, the Belgian center-back duo that brought the golden age to the club in the 2010s, or when they sent Hugo Lloris to the United States last year. Even if Son Heung-min is higher than other players, there is no guarantee that Tottenham will be sad.
 
In this regard, it seems quite positive that Son Heung-min and Tottenham are likely to renew their contracts. This is especially true because recently, there has been a prospect that Son Heung-min will be recruited from Saudi Arabia when his contract with Tottenham expires. 토토사이트 추천
 
British media outlet "Kurt Offside" said on the 6th that Saudi Arabian clubs are watching Son Heung-min, adding, "Saudi Arabian clubs expect to recruit Son Heung-min as a free agent (FA) when his contract expires in 2025.
 
The media said, "It will be interesting to see if Tottenham renews its contract with Son Heung-min in the next few months. Son Heung-min is an indispensable asset for Tottenham. Losing Son Heung-min will deal a big blow to Tottenham," adding that the situation could change depending on whether Tottenham and Son renew their contracts.
 
The British 'Sports Mall' also reported on the 8th that Saudi Arabian clubs are still watching Son Heung-min, and Saudi Arabian professional league clubs are planning to recruit Son in the summer transfer market in 2025.
 
The name of the team that wanted Son Heung-min was also specifically mentioned.

Macau's VIP business is struggling

Среда, 04 Сентября 2024 г. 10:32 + в цитатник
The VIP game business is in such a big competition with Southeast Asian operators that Chinese gamblers cannot repay their gaming debt. These issues have been reported by the Front of Macao Gaming Group of Macau Gaming Group and the local Gaming and Entertainment Promoter Association.
 
Among those who have closed rooms is the famous Golden Group. David Group, another major operator, appears to have only one VIP game room left. The venue is said to be in Win Macau, a large scale reduction from the seven rooms they originally operated since early 2015. The company has not commented on the matter so far after denying such reports in early June.
 
According to Le Kuok Keong the Front of Macao Gaming, the VIP group is quickly losing money as the operating costs of VIP rooms are so high that gamblers are unable to pay back their debts. 파워볼사이트
 
Ray said there were about 3,000 resident employees affected by the closure of VIP rooms this year, with 40 to 50 guest rooms. Last year, Heng Sheng Group, which has more than 700 employees and 11 VIP rooms, is a case in point, and it is known that the company currently has only four rooms left in Macau and the number of employees has been depleted to about 100.
 
According to Mr. Ray, the closure of VIP rooms should continue because there has been no sign of the VIP industry going up in smoke. The slowdown in China's economy is affecting many parts of Macau, but it's having a big impact in the VIP gaming sector.
 

10% at the close of trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange

Среда, 04 Сентября 2024 г. 10:03 + в цитатник
Galaxy Entertainment Group rose the most, with a 7.4% gain, Win Macau gained more than 6%, and MGM China Holdings, Sands China, and SJM Holdings gained more than 6%. The gains helped push the benchmark Hang Seng index up 3.2 percent.
 
Li Gang, head of the Chinese government's local liaison office, told local broadcaster Teledipusa Oder Macau that China would introduce new measures in the coming months to support Macau amid the current "economic adjustments."
 
Continuous anti-corruption campaigns affecting global smoking bans and junket operations, along with a slowdown across China's economy, have hampered growth in the former Portuguese region, which still has nearly seven times the revenue of Las Vegas. Key junket operator Neptune Group recently noted that it may abandon the Macau market unless some form of sunshine appears soon for the HKex-listed company, which lost $106.8 million in the six months to June 30. The company posted earnings of $19.2 over the same period last year. 파워볼사이트
 
"Any potential action to help the Macao visit could be a big boon for the industry as casual gamblers are becoming a key pillar of the industry's bottom line amid weak VIPs," Bloomberg reported in a note. The report includes that Chinese cities can offer individual visas and multiple entry permits can be introduced.
 
Other local media reported that the government is also working on other ways to boost local tourism, with the number of Chinese national holidays, known so far as "Golden Week," almost flat in casinos. Historically, Golden Week ranked second in Macau in terms of number of visitors and casinos, following the Chinese New Year period.

SSG's flagship hitter Choi Jung has a lot of worries in baseball this fall.

Среда, 04 Сентября 2024 г. 09:23 + в цитатник

It's because my body condition is not perfect condition yet. Due to thigh pain at the end of the regular season, he was excluded from the first division entry and failed to play the last four games. Choi Jeong said, "The accumulation of fatigue accumulated so far seems to have led to injury due to the chilly weather.

The moment I got hurt, I thought, "This season is over." Rather, I felt comfortable, and the recovery speed was fast, he said.

"But it's only about 70-80%." Choi Jung-eun, who resumed training on the 16th, was able to earn time to recover her condition as SSG confirmed third place in the regular season the next day (17th) and went straight to the semi-PO. "Thanks to my colleagues, I'm glad to have time to prepare for the postseason," he said.

However, he smiled awkwardly, saying, "The return match is PS (the most important)." Choi Jeong is one of the best hitters to represent Incheon baseball. He joined SK in 2005 after receiving the first nomination, and has a career batting average of 0.287, 458 home runs and 1,454 RBIs. He has risen to the top of the KBO League's personal record this season, and if he adds 10 home runs next season, he will surpass Lee Seung-yeop (467 home runs) to rank No. 1 in the KBO League.

The new record of double-digit home runs for 18 consecutive seasons, the most in Korean professional baseball, is also in progress. Choi Jeong also recorded a batting average of 0.297 29 home runs and 87 RBIs in 128 games this season, ranking first in home runs and RBIs in the team. He won the title with a batting average of 0.548. Perhaps because of her poor physical condition, Choi Jeong showed a lack of confidence during the interview, saying, "I don't know." "If it's a regular season, it's okay because there's tomorrow even if I can't do it today, but PS is a short-term game, so I'm worried. "It feels different from last year," he said. But he showed off his fierce batting performance in his first PS game of the year.

He hit a leadoff hit in the top of the fourth inning when he faced NC 0-0 in Game 1 of the semi-PO on the 22nd. He advanced to second base on a hit by Guillermo Heredia, but failed to score due to the failure of a follow-up hit. Choi Jung followed with a sacrifice fly that chased 1-2 in the eighth inning with one out and runners on second and third bases.

NC Ryu Jin-wook's cut fastball confidently turned his bat to create a sharp ball in front of the left field. Choi Jung himself is anxious, but SSG coach Kim Won-hyung and fans showed why they still believe him. In the second game held on the 23rd, he had no hit in four at-bats, and SSG lost 3-7. Choi played in 75 games for PS and posted a batting average of 0.274 (68 hits in 248 times at bat) and 12 home runs and 39 RBIs. In last year's Korean Series (KS), he played with a batting average of 0.476 (10 hits in 21 at-bats) with two home runs and nine RBIs, leading SSG to an integrated victory. In the regular season against NC, he was very strong with a batting average of 0.341 (15 hits in 44 at-bats) with six home runs and nine RBIs. Choi Jeong remains cautious. "I wanted to do well at KS last year. "I thought, 'I should do it,' but now..." he said.

"I hope Hanyu Island will continue to play (at the end of the second half)." Han Yu-seom, who only hit 0.203 until August, hit .425 with three home runs and 27 RBIs since September. He ranked first in batting average during this period. Choi Jeong said, "You-seom did well in the second half, so I hope you do well until the end," adding, "I hope Park Sung-han and Jihoon Choi, which were somewhat sluggish compared to last year, will also go crazy (in the PS). I hope Ha Jae-hoon, who turned from pitcher to batter, will also become a crazy player."   메이저사이트

Choi Jeong feels a great sense of responsibility while hoping for his juniors' performance. "Big games are always burdensome. "I think the result will vary depending on how cool you are," he said, adding, "I hope I do something." SSG was on the brink of losing two in a row. SSG's main hitter seeks a counterattack once again. Choi Jeong was the strongest in the team with a batting average of 0.375 with four home runs and six RBIs in six games against NC in Changwon this year.


SD brought GG shortstop for 2 consecutive years

Среда, 04 Сентября 2024 г. 06:55 + в цитатник
Ahmed was released by the San Francisco Giants on July 11 and moved to the Los Angeles Dodgers, but was released as an FA on the 23rd of last month and was looking for a new team.
 
San Diego strengthened its shortstop depth by signing such an Ahmed.
 
"Amed signed a contract with San Francisco during the spring training and played 52 games. He played in 17 games after moving to the Dodgers," MLB.com said. "He played for Arizona for 10 years before this season and won two Gold Gloves in shortstop. With Kim Ha-sung still recovering from inflammation of his right shoulder, Ahmed brought the necessary depth."
 
Ahmed's contract was signed on August 31st local time, so he can play in the postseason as well as the big league.
 
Ahmed was selected by the Atlanta Braves as the 85th overall pick in the second round in the 2011 draft, before joining the Arizona jersey through a trade in January 2013. He played for 10 years after his debut in 2014.
 
He played in 888 games for Arizona and posted a batting average of 0.234 (678 hits in 2,897 at-bats) with 70 homers and 322 RBIs with an OPS of 0.664. In particular, he hit 16 and 19 home runs in 2018 and 2019, respectively, winning the Gold Glove in the National League Shortstop category for the second consecutive year.
 
However, there was a downward trend. Ahmed, who did not display as good performance as before after shoulder surgery, was released after receiving a transfer nomination (DFA) in September. 토토사이트 모음
 
He made a comeback by signing a minor league contract with the San Francisco Giants ahead of this season, but his relationship with the San Francisco Giants was short-lived. That's how he moved from Dodgers to San Diego.
 
Ahmed appeared in 957 games in 11 seasons in the major leagues, batting .23472 with 339 RBIs and an OPS of .658.

"Acnyc718" Chang emerging victorious to capture the bracelet and $161.286.44 first-place prize.

Четверг, 29 Августа 2024 г. 17:16 + в цитатник
According to HendonMob, Chang has $215,567 in live tournament earnings including a career-best $49,039 for finishing seventh in the 2010 Borgata Spring Poker Open Championship Event. As for the WSOP, his prior best finish was 15th in the 2012 WSOP Event #52: $2,500 10-Game Six-Handed for $9,481.
 
After Shawn "shades927" Stroke bubbled in 127th place, the in-the-money eliminations came at a steady pace. Among the notables to cash were Katie "katelin" Lindsay (113th - $1,622.60), Bo "proudpatriot" Cappello (91st - $1,703.73), Melisa "NJ_Melisa" Singh (75th - $$1,947.12), Event #2 champ Louis "PokeThese" Lynch (50th - $2,758.42), Stephen "sixsixsix" Jones (37th - $3,164.07), Aaron "FrankDux" Massey (13th - $6,896.05), Michael "itwasthator0" Gagliano (12th - $8,680.91), Ryan "Protential" Laplante (11th - $8,680.91), and Greg "ClickingBtnz" Himmelbrand (10th - $8,680.91).
 
Chang began the final table as the chip leader, while Quintin "AA_QTiP_KK" Trammell and "charliefrog" were the two short stacks. Not surprisingly, they were the first two to go before John "Slapshot1085" Forlenza followed them out the door in seventh place when his ace-queen failed to get lucky against Alex "ShadowFiend1" Condon's pocket queens.
 
Condon then bowed out in sixth place when his ace-king failed to win a flip against Chang's jacks, and not long after "married" jammed with deuces down only to run into the pocket kings of Chang. 파워볼사이트
 
The short-stacked "iseefoodtuna" then ran ace-deuce into Philip "tomte" Yeh's pocket aces to bust in fourth place, and then Chang dispatched Felipe "McBain" Leme in third place when the latter's king-nine suited fell to the former's ace-king.
 
Chang took a 3:1 chip lead into heads-up play, but Yeh put up a tough fight, even taking over the chip lead at one point. However, Chang was not to be denied as he reclaimed the lead and set about whittling down Yeh, who would jam with eight-six. Chang called with queen-jack and the paint cards prevailed to eliminate Yeh in second place for $99,708.77.

Annarin in 2021 and Yoo Hae-ran last year, Korean golfers' acceptance as the top contender in the Q Series failed for the third consecutive year.

Четверг, 29 Августа 2024 г. 16:30 + в цитатник
Lee has been at the top of the list for six days, confirming her competitive edge in next year's LPGA Tour.
 
Sung Yu-jin also secured a full seed to participate in almost all LPGA Tour events next year after staying in the top ranks for six days. Sung reduced her pars by two with four birdies and two bogeys in the final round, and tied for seventh with a total of 19-under 411. Im Jin-hee (13-under 417), who tied for 17th, also succeeded in advancing to the LPGA Tour next year.
 
Lee So-mi, Sung Yu-jin, and Im Jin-hee were among the top players in the KLPGA tour. Lee So-mi has won five games overall in Korea, although she has not won a title this year, while Sung Yu-jin has garnered two wins this season. Im has grabbed four wins this year alone to become a "multiple winner," and was ranked the highest among the players who participated in the event at the 40th place in the world.
 
Due to the aftermath of COVID-19 and the qualitative growth of the KLPGA tour, Korean players in recent years have tended not to challenge themselves to the next level. Some expressed a sense of crisis as Korean players in the LPGA tour were sluggish for a while and generational changes were not smooth. However, as three of Korea's top players advance to the LPGA tour, the LPGA tour will gain more momentum next year. It is also possible to imagine Korean players competing for the Rookie of the Year award.
 
After the tournament, Lee So-mi vowed, "I was disappointed at the end (of missing the senior pass), but I will try to repay the LPGA Tour with a good performance next year."
 
The Q Series is called the "seed match" of the LPGA Tour. About 100 players who have no full seed will participate in the "Death Race" through 108 holes for six days. Top 20 players will be given a full seed to participate in almost any LPGA Tour event, and those ranking 21st to 45th will receive conditional tickets to participate and secondary tour seeds. A player who ranks within the world's top 75 can advance directly to the final match of the Q Series, but those who do not have to participate in the preliminary match will have to play in the preliminary match first. Sung Yoo-jin, who was outside the world's 75th, took part in the final match of the Q School Stage 2 in October, ranking fourth. It is not an easy choice for Sung, who had a stable seed in the KLPGA tour. However, she took part in the preliminary match because she had a spirit of challenge first.
 
Sung Yu-jin, who contacted Sung before boarding the plane to return to Korea, said, "I put more importance on my dream than stability. My dream was to play on the LPGA Tour at least once during my career. I am happy just to achieve this dream and feel that I will continue to enjoy my career," Sung said. "Of course, I thought I would be embarrassed if I failed in the Q-series, but I thought I would regret it later if I didn't try it now." Sung said, "It's not that I'm ashamed to fail, it's that I'm ashamed not to challenge myself," so I encouraged myself. 메이저사이트
 
Im Jin-hee, who announced her entry to the LPGA Tour at the peak of her career after winning multiple titles this year, said, "It's my choice to become a golfer for a long time," adding, "I want to challenge myself to become No. 1 in the world by passing the LPGA Tour Q-Series and performing in the U.S. It's been two weeks since I came to the U.S. for this tournament. "It's so difficult mentally and physically," Lee said. "I didn't win the rookie award in Korea, but I will challenge the rookie award in the LPGA Tour." This is why I'm looking forward to seeing rookie players who "head to the ground" for their dreams without weighing back and forth.

Now we are living in the 'age of Manchester City'.

Четверг, 29 Августа 2024 г. 16:00 + в цитатник
 It was in 2008, the beginning of what is now Manchester City. The fate of the club changed when Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), took over Manchester City.
 
The huge power of "oil money" melted into Manchester City. Professional sports are money. Manchester City with money has exploded. The decisive power is to recruit the world's best players with oil money.
 
Who was the beginning? It was Hovinho, the first player Mansour recruited after coming to power. Manchester City's recruitment of Hovinho in 2008 was a shock. Why? There was a time when Hovinho was a highly anticipated striker, but it was because Real Madrid was the best team in the world.
 
He was 24 years old at the time. It made no sense for a player with a strong future to move from Real Madrid to a team of mid and low rank teams, just like that of the EPL. The impossibility has become a reality. It was the power of oil money.
 
At that time, Manchester City paid 35.2 million pounds (54 billion won), the highest fee ever paid in the EPL history, to recruit the striker from Real Madrid. This was the beginning of the greatest ever squad of the Manchester City dynasty.
 
At that time, the head of Manchester City was Mark Hughes. He, too, was surprised to see the signing of the j-hope as a miracle. He remembered like this.
 
"The club instructed me to make every attempt to recruit players. At that time, I heard from Real Madrid that I could recruit Hobby New. We made a tremendous effort to make that happen. I called the Real Madrid manager directly. Hobby New came. It was a crazy day. Hobby New crossed that line, it was a tremendous strategy, and it was the history of Manchester City. To be honest, Manchester City was in the middle and lower ranks at the time. I had to admit that Manchester City's offer was not an attractive offer. It would not have been a surprise to reject Manchester City."
 
Hughes also revealed an interesting anecdote about recruiting Hobby New. Coming to Manchester from Real Madrid is more likely to be considered "Manchester United" if you have common sense. At that time, Manchester United was an absolute team for England under manager Alex Ferguson.  토토사이트
 
As a result, there were rumors that when Hovinho actually moved to Manchester, he thought he was going to Manchester United. Here was Hughes' position on this rumor.
 
"There was a rumor that I thought Hovinho was signing for Manchester United. Maybe there is some truth to this rumor. I went out to meet Hovinho at the airport. Hovinho showed up, and obviously Hovinho didn't recognize me. Maybe Hovinho was expecting Sir Ferguson. He wanted to see Sir Ferguson. Hovinho would have been disappointed."

DC to delay hearings regarding legislation that would give two federally recognized Native American groups gaming rights in the Lone Star State.

Среда, 28 Августа 2024 г. 17:41 + в цитатник
HR 759 – the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and Alabama-Coushatta Tribes of Texas Equal and Fair Opportunity Settlement Act – passed the US House of Representatives in July. The legislation, introduced by Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas), seeks to give the two tribes full rights under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) of 1988.
 
The two tribes have been targeted by officials in Texas over their gaming privileges.
 
“Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, and Attorney General Ken Paxton have concerns with this legislation because current federal law prohibits gambling on tribal lands unless authorized by the State of Texas,” Cornyn wrote the US Senate Indian Affairs Committee. All three state officials he mentioned are Republicans.
 
Under Texas law, most forms of gambling are prohibited, including on Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and Alabama-Coushatta tribal lands,” Texas’ senior Senator added.
 
Cornyn requested, “In light of these legal and policy disagreements between the Texas state government and these tribes, I request any committee hearings concerning this legislation be postponed until these parties have reached a resolution or agreement.”
 
Legal Backstory
The Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas has been operating a Class II gaming facility in Livingston since May 2016. Paxton argues it’s in violation of state law, and has imposed a $10,000 per day penalty on the tribe – an amount that is now upwards of $12.4 million.
 
Here’s where the controversy stems: in August 1987, the two tribes agreed to Congress’ Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and Alabama-Coushatta Indian Tribes of Texas Restoration Act. The bill restored their federal recognition and sovereignty, but provided that: “All gaming activities which are prohibited by the laws of the State of Texas are hereby prohibited on the reservation and on lands of the tribe.”
 
A year later, IGRA was passed and gave all federally recognized tribes the right to operate Class I and II gaming on their sovereign land. Class III gaming – full-scale casinos with slot machines and table games – requires state approval through a gaming compact.
 
Texas’ only other federally recognized tribe – the Kickapoo Traditional Native Americans – were recognized in 1985, but were not bound with a no-gaming clause. The tribe has operated the Class II Lucky Eagle Casino for more than two decades.   
 
Tribe Response
HR 759 seeks to level the playing field and allow the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and Alabama-Coushatta tribes the same gaming immunity as the Kickapoos. 카지노사이트
 
Senator Cornyn’s letter represents the latest in a series of delays by some Texas elected officials, who appear to be prioritizing politics over equality for the state’s Native American tribes, as well as jobs and economic growth in East Texas,” Alabama-Coushatta Chairwoman Cecilia Flores said.
 
“We are a federally recognized tribe with sovereign rights, and we would like to assert those sovereign rights,” she concluded.

Sports bettors in Indiana will have a third option for a mobile application, as FanDuel will launch its online platform in the state.

Среда, 28 Августа 2024 г. 17:16 + в цитатник
The Indiana Gaming Commission (IGC) posted the notice on its Web site Monday morning.
 
FanDuel already has a presence in the Hoosier State, as it opened two retail sportsbooks last month. According to the IGC’s order, the mobile application will fall under the license awarded to the Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City near the Michigan state line. The company also runs a retail establishment at the Belterra Casino Resort in the southern part of the state, roughly midway between Louisville, Ky., and Cincinnati. Both casinos are owned and operated by Boyd Gaming.
 
When it becomes available, Indiana will be the fourth state where the sports technology company offers online gaming, and the third implementation of it in as many months. Nearly two months ago, it launched in West Virginia. A month before that, it opened in Pennsylvania.
 
FanDuel’s King: Committed to Users
FanDuel is currently the top online sportsbook in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. At last week’s Global Gaming Expo (G2E), CEO Matt King discussed some of the steps the company took to become the mobile sports betting app of choice in its top two markets.
 
One of the ways FanDuel has pursued a customer-first strategy is by employing a single app that works across all states, unlike some competitors, which have individual apps for each state where they’re licensed.
 
That was an easy conversation internally. It was a lot harder technically, but if you think about it, you probably have 50 apps on your phone,” King said. “Name me one that doesn’t work outside of the state of Nevada. It just doesn’t happen.”
 
“I think it’s evidence of our commitment to putting users first to say we are in a regulated business. We embrace that. There’s a complexity that comes with that, but that complexity should be our burden, and not for some who use it. So, we look to make it as positive an experience for the users as possible, because that’s the way you’re going to maximize the market”
 
Indiana Sports Betting Reset
Sports betting became legal in Indiana last month. For September, the IGC reported a total handle of $35.2 million and adjusted gross revenues of almost $8.6 million.
 
All those bets were generated through the state’s retail sportsbooks. FanDuel’s two retail outlets combined for nearly $4.6 million of that handle.
 
The first online sportsbooks in the state went live on Oct. 3, with BetRivers, a Rush Street Gaming property, and DraftKings getting permission.
 
While FanDuel will be the latest, it certainly won’t be the last. Last week, Full House Resorts, which runs the Rising Star Casino Resort in Rising Sun, announced a partnership with Wynn Resorts for a mobile sports betting application. Previously, the company announced another mobile partnership with Smarkets. In addition, the company will use BetAmerica to run its retail sportsbook and offer an online app.  안전 슬롯사이트
 
Also last week, Spectacle Entertainment announced BetIndiana would operate one of its mobile sports betting applications for its casino in Gary.
 
Mobile wagering may really boost Indiana’s sports betting revenue. The state,15th largest in the US by population, is currently a sports betting island, surrounded by four states that have yet to legalize the activity. Three of those states — Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio — rank among the top eight most populous states.

The Houston Astros remain the World Series favorites despite losing at home in Game 1 to the Washington Nationals.

Среда, 28 Августа 2024 г. 16:48 + в цитатник
But, of course, their title chances are lengthening in Las Vegas as a result of the opening defeat.
 
Prior to Tuesday night’s first pitch, Houston was the biggest World Series favorite in more than a decade. FanDuel had the series line at Houston -240, Washington +200.
 
This morning, those odds are Astros -120, Nationals +100. On the new series price, a $100 bet respectively nets $83.33 and $100.
 
Houston starter Gerrit Cole was on a 19-game winning streak that dated back to May. But he wasn’t himself Tuesday, giving up eight hits and five runs in seven innings worked.
 
I think he’s been so good for so long that there builds this thought of invincibility and that it’s impossible to beat him,” Astros manager AJ Hinch said. “So when it happens, it is a surprise to all of us because we’ve watched for months this guy completely dominate the opposition.”
 
The Astros offense added a run in the seventh and eighth, but fell one short, taking a 5-4 loss. Washington starter Max Scherzer labored through five innings, giving up five hits, two runs, and walking three in getting the win.
 
The Nats weathered a two-run first by the Astros. Left fielder Juan Soto led the way, going three for four, including a solo shot and two other RBIs.
 
Game 2
The Astros won’t have to sit around long mulling their loss, and the Nationals won’t be celebrating long, either. Game 2 gets underway tonight at 8:07 p.m. ET in Houston, with another star-studded pitching matchup the headliner.
 
Future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander takes the mound for the home team, while Stephen Strasburg, another viable candidate for Cooperstown once his career is complete, will try and keep the momentum going for the visitors, who are looking to steal two in Houston.
 
The game moneyline is at Washington +158, Houston -184. The Astros are 1.5-run favorites over the visitors, and the over/under is at seven runs.
 
Verlander played in the 2006 and 2012 World Series with the Detroit Tigers, and won the Fall Classic with the Astros two years ago.  바카라사이트
 
Strasburg will be making his World Series debut, but the three-time All-Star has been dominant this postseason. The 31-year-old has given up just four earned runs in 22 innings against 33 strikeouts. He also tossed three critical innings in the National League Wild Card Game against the Milwaukee Brewers that kept his team’s season alive.
 
World Series Props
With Game 1 in the bag – and a rather surprise start with the Nationals win – prop futures are naturally reacting.
 
Prior to Game 1, the shortest odds on the exact outcome of the World Series was Houston winning the best-of-seven series in six (+290). Now, that line has extended to +370. Houston in seven has emerged as the favorite at +330.

Commissioner Jay Monahan explaining the paramount goal is to protect the integrity of professional golf.

Среда, 28 Августа 2024 г. 16:28 + в цитатник
The Tour is now amid its Asian Swing, and is in Japan this week for the inaugural ZOZO Championship. Japan is in the process of legalizing commercial gambling, with bids being accepted for a proposed three integrated casino resorts.
 
Talking with the AFP news agency, Monahan said the PGA Tour is embracing sports betting in an effort to increase engagement and bring new fans to the sport.
 
It’s all about engagement,” Monahan explained. “When done right, it gives fans the opportunity to engage with your sport over a longer period of time and have more interest in what’s happening across the entire player field.”
 
Tiger Woods is leading the field after round one of the ZOZO. He’s tied at -6 with Gary Woodland. But local fan-favorite Hideki Matsuyama sits one back, and has the shortest odds in Las Vegas of winning the tournament at 3/1. Woods and Woodland are at 4/1.
 
Golf and Sports Betting
There are concerns among the golf world that betting on the game will lead to rowdier fans. The game known for its calm “golf clap” has become more boisterous in recent years, spectators annoyingly yelling “mashed potatoes” and other random comments as players tee off.
 
Some players have recently teed off on those rowdy patrons.
 
“What is going to happen is you will see more of this heckling stuff occurring because there are going to be those who have bet against you,” world No. 2 Rory McIlroy opined in August. “They’re going to want to try and alter the result because they will potentially either make or lose money from it.”
 
McIlroy’s comments were in response to Ian Poulter having a spectator removed after the patron rooted for his golf ball to find the bunker. 파워볼사이트
 
Integrity Paramount
Monahan didn’t reveal specifics as to how the PGA Tour’s gambling product might operate. But he maintained that it will come with safeguards that will only better protect the game’s integrity.
 
We’ve put the right systems in place, both in terms of an integrity program and monitoring activity,” the commissioner stated. “I think when we come forward, you’ll see that we’ve taken significant steps to address that.”
 
Last month, IMG Arena – a sports information technology company headquartered in London – reached an exclusive deal with the PGA Tour to obtain its official real-time data. The arrangement includes ShotLink data, the Tour’s proprietary platform that collects and disseminates scoring and statistical data on every shot by every player.
 
Las Vegas-based Scientific Games has already signed on to buy the feed from IMG Arena. Scientific plans to circulate the golf data to its sports betting partners, including William Hill, Caesars, and Paddy Power Betfair.
 

In doing so, they’ve reclaimed the status of favorite to win the MLB title.

Среда, 28 Августа 2024 г. 15:36 + в цитатник
Houston pitcher Jose Urquidy struck out four and allowed just two hits in five shutout innings, and Alex Bregman went 3-for-5 with a grand slam to lead the visiting Astros to an 8-1 victory over the Washington Nationals on Saturday night.
 
After losing the first two games at home, the Astros have now made this a best-of-three series. On Sunday night for Game 5 at Nationals Park, Gerrit Cole will take the mound for Houston against Max Scherzer. It’s a rematch of Game 1 that saw the Nationals get to Cole for five runs and hand him his first loss since May.
 
Houston’s ace, who is 19-1 with a 1.79 ERA in his last 26 starts, is hoping to redeem himself.
 
I hope I go home with nothing left in the tank,” Cole told reporters Saturday. “Whether tomorrow is the last time I pitch or I get the opportunity to pitch another time after that, I just hope that I’m just absolutely dog-tired by the time I get home.”
 
Cole-Scherzer II will be one of two strong pitching matchups looming in the next two games. On Tuesday, when the Series reverts to Houston, the Nationals Stephen Strasburg will go up against Justin Verlander, a rematch of Game 2.
 
With the road teams winning the first four games, it marked the first time that’s happened since 1996.
 
Game 5 is set to start at 8:07 pm ET and will be televised on FOX. President Donald Trump is expected to attend the game.
 
Oddsmakers Backing Houston Sunday
Despite being the home team – or perhaps maybe because they’re the home team – the Nats find themselves back to being underdogs in Game 5. That’s the same place they started the World Series.
 
Houston with Cole is the -150 moneyline favorite at DraftKings to take a 3-2 lead back to Houston. Washington with Scherzer, a three-time Cy Young Award winner who struck out 243 batters in just 172-1/3 innings this season, is offered at +132. As 1.5-run favorites, the Astros odds are +117, while the Nationals are -136 in getting the runs.
 
The over/under is seven runs, with the over currently priced at -107 and the under at -114. Only one of the games has seen less than seven runs scored.
 
FanDuel’s odds are similarly priced, with the moneyline -150/+130. The 1.5-run run line is +118 for Houston to -140 for the Nationals. The seven-run over/under is even money for over and -122 for the under.
 
Series Odds Come Full Circle
Houston started the World Series as the heaviest favorite in 12 years. However, after the Nats took the first two games, oddsmakers reversed course. 홀짝게임
 
Now, they’ve reversed the reverse.
 
FanDuel opened the Series with Houston as -240 favorites. Now after the last two wins, it’s made the Astros the -270 favorite. Washington’s odds, meanwhile, are +215 to win two of the last three games.
 
DraftKings is offering the ‘Stros at -250 and the Nationals at +200.
 
Both books believe Houston will win the next two games. In betting on the exact series outcome, FanDuel is offering +115 odds for Houston to win in six games. DraftKings offers +130 for the same outcome.
 
Those who think the Nats can win in six can get +575 odds at DraftKings and +600 at FanDuel. A seven-game series win for Houston is +210 (DraftKings) and +230 (FanDuel), while a Washington seven-gamer is +430 and +370, respectively.
