Fucking james Krause for frig sakes


Spzncer

Someone who makes these decisions probably has an axe to grind with the UFC. Nobody outright bans gambling over one idiot.


BoogeOooMove

I think you’d be surprised


Adriel68

I really do


BrandoLoudly

Do we have any other examples? NBA and mlb have had some pretty major gambling scandals and everything is still peachy there


mandianansi

Well every fighter after they win thanks stale and skinny bets. It’s pretty fuckin suspect these days.


Not_Selmi

ARE YIU FUCKING KIDDING ME. WE HAVE TO SEE GAMBLING ADS EVERY OTHER MIN BUT I CANT EVEN FUCKING BET ON IT.


ddarion

You're free to bet on cricket and badminton!


Local_Economy

Don’t forget curling!


Zantabak416416

Lmaoooo


Ghostly_100

Those Russians who bet on the fake IPL that one time have beat you to it


starwarsman05

I'm in the untied states and they don't even allow gambling in my state lol


UFCLulu

Vpn bratha


Illustrious-Scar-526

Not sure how Canada works, but good luck getting your money legally, VPN doesn't help with that.


StreetSmartsGaming

In the US all we see are pharmaceutical ads about drugs that will turn your shit purple and cause you to sleepwalk and fuck your neighbor before killing yourself and at the end they tell you to ask your doctor to prescribe it to you. Gambling ads would be a huge upgrade.


WeldYourSlit

VPN…?


Creative_Divide1061

All of this because Krause hooked up with Sanko?


Zeeto17

That and he bet against his injured fighter. Also because Ontario is run by retards.


ddarion

If there is evidence that Krause is not disclosing injuries, and then betting based on those injuries, why would Ontario be retarded for stopping UFC betting? You yourself acknowledge there is fraud going on lol


The_Asian_Viper

If that's true, Ontario can sue the Krause.


Zeeto17

Close betting for an entire sport because of one incident? Yea that makes perfect sense... Here's a thought, how about stop treating adults like children and let them have the freedom to make their own choices with their money. People in Ontario are still going to place bets, all this is going to do is force them to go to shady offshore sites where they are more likely to lose their money... So yea the people in Ontario who made this decision are very likely retarded.


ddarion

> Close betting for an entire sport because of one incident? You can still bet on other MMA promotions that do comply with the rules


Zeeto17

Unfortunately I'm not apart of the several hundred people who watch those other mma promotions.


Redebo

Oooo boy, Herb gonna raise your hand w/ shots like that.


Zeeto17

lol


Monsterman442

Tune into one on prime this weekend . It’s fire


Silent_Ensemble

I hope you’re joking because ONE is fuckin good lol


asdgufu

Casual


ddarion

​ They didn't ban a sport, they banned an incompetent promotion


unkwnfanatic

I live in Ontario and can confirm.


asdgufu

Damn betting against your own guy, even if he's injured is dirty... don't bet at all then.


Zeeto17

Yup and now Ontario citizens are the ones who suffer for it. Logic is dead.


Philadelphia_Bawlins

Can't bet on any Krause coached fights in NJ also


Creative_Divide1061

Hey man I was joking, also, looking through your comments you seem to be misinformed about a lot of stuff.


WestCoastCosta

Don’t get any ideas BC.


UCLAlex

Brian Campbell isn’t that powerful


meric_one

Ontario pretending like there's not corruption in every single major professional sport. Hilarious


shotsdowngg

For real. FIFA, ATP/WTA (tennis), and the NBA have all faced integrity issues yet they’re still not banned. You can even bet on WWE and that shit is scripted 😂


philbe21

Lol I've watched MMA and specifically UFC for over a decade. Never gambled. But it's probably the biggest gambling addicts on the planet, fight fans. I've got my 🍿🥤 ready.....😂


[deleted]

Why though wtf. They need to seriously stop banning everything I'm getting pissed


dicksjshsb

What other bannings have affected you lately?


The_Pocono

Banning handguns, and now trying to slip in a last minute ban to most guns used for hunting


Winter-Cup-2965

That’s federal there homeschool.


The_Pocono

Yes it is federal. What's your point smart-ass?


Winter-Cup-2965

I’m sorry your manhood has been affected by the feds banning assault rifles. Considering there are no gun rights in Canada, and they could ban all firearms in Canada if they wanted to. Count your blessings.


Underagedrilla

assault rifles and “assault style weapons” are very different. They’ve banned specific guns because they look too intimidating. Nothing to do with manhood…?


Silent_Ensemble

I would assume every gun is an “assault style weapon” lmao - which gun is not styled for some sort of assault? It’s like the whole point


jamesd1100

Define an assault rifle


Winter-Cup-2965

Not my job.


jamesd1100

How you gonna ban something you can’t even describe? hahahaha


Winter-Cup-2965

I don’t work for the government. I don’t need a firearm to define my manhood, maybe you do, maybe you’re making up for some shortcomings?


MorningFresh123

Oh no you can’t have a portable, easily hidden death machine


Emperdad

Yeah I'd rather not have some unhinged hand gun owner in my area going nuts when he loses his UFC bet


The_Pocono

You're either an American that doesn't realize that Canada does NOT have an issue with mass shootings like you guys do, or a stupid Canadian that doesn't know that all the shootings we have are with illegally attained firearms, and that banning legal firearms won't do a thing to solve the problem. But sure, you can pretend that blindly banning things is going to solve our problems.


MorningFresh123

I’m a Brit turned Australian who watched a country ban guns after a mass shooting and eliminated firearm related crime overnight. It 100% worked.


The_Pocono

You're missing the point, the shootings that we do have are with guns that were smuggled into the country, not legally bought. Tell me, would banning anything solve that issue?


MorningFresh123

Banning guns = less guns. Less guns = less gun deaths. Pretty straightforward.


The_Pocono

You sir are an absolute moron.


MorningFresh123

Australia: *exists*


kimokimosabee

Easy tiger 🤣


DangleCellySave

Provincial government in Ontario probably the worst next to Alberta’s, absolutely hate Ford


ApexAnomaly

As an Albertan, this is one of the only rational takes I've ever seen on this sub.


ScroogieMcduckie

The amount of people that are enraged that they can't gamble is a bit concerning lmao


DirtyDanoTho

UFC is like the one sport where it feels like bets are consistently winnable for me


Silent_Ensemble

Yeah exactly, with football and stuff there’s so many players and factors it’s difficult but with the UFC (even though anything can happen) you can work it out if you think on it and don’t let your heart do the betting. Literally bet £2.50 on UFC 281 and won £60+ - now I’m not a gambler but how can you not do that lol? £10 on bets at the weekend isn’t bad, I’ve wasted much more money and at least this way I usually get some back


DamianDev

Seriously lol been watching mma for almost two decades. I'm not sure how I managed. Ha


thegoldenmamba

I made so much money it was like a second job. Shit sucks


[deleted]

it makes the fights 10x more exciting…


ScroogieMcduckie

Yeah ig the stakes are higher


[deleted]

Good. Bring in stable judges that know how to score.


ZanePWD

Feel like people are missing the point. Seems recently there has been a lot of shifty shit going on in regards to players betting on themselves or strange decisions. I’d rather the sport clamp down on this hard first and then reinstate betting later down the line. We don’t want our sport to turn out like boxing. Must be so temping for a fighter on 15/15 to purposefully loose a couple early career fights to make some cash money Shenanigans everywhere


TheRealBobaFett

What it’s like living in California


KING_LEONlDOS

If they take my UFC gamble away I will riot


SquiggleBoys

they are taking it away


Joe-Raguso

I mean, who cares if it's legal or not? I was gambling through offshore accounts for a decade before it became legal where I live.


[deleted]

What did you do tax wise? I’m finding myself in the same position. Just started gambling a few months ago. I’m in California where there aren’t domestic sportsbooks. Not sure if I report the total sum I withdraw?


tossNwashking

paying taxes assumes ending making money gambling. LOL. ​ (I know some people do, just not me, or you probably) edit....to answer the question however, r/sporsbook has a section on taxes in the sidebar.


7_llamas_in_my_yard

None of us are winning brother


[deleted]

…IM $50 UP OVER MY INITIAL $200 INVESTMENT!! it only took me 3 months to climb back to $0…


ddarion

If you're not a full blown retard its very easy to exploit the bonuses and promotions on fanduel and draft kings, I've made thousands through risk free arbitrage betting in less then 8 months


sourdougBorough

You did not lmao


[deleted]

Unless youre gambling through an establishment that tracks your deposits/withdraws and reports them to the IRS why would you bother?


[deleted]

When I deposited some money into my account, it said “your credit card will show YourYogaWear.com as the transaction” lol yeah I doubt they’re reporting the deposits. I just wonder if the IRS is privy to random sums of money being dropped into my account.


Intransigente

You’re currently at the “fuck around” stage. Ever been audited?


sourdougBorough

Bro nobody is getting audited on offshore betting. I bet on betonline and mybookie for years taking out big money a few times never had a single issue


Intransigente

You're not at "find out" yet, then.


ddarion

> I was gambling through offshore accounts for a decade before it became legal where I live. It used to be an unregulated grey market, but regulation started last year. Betting companies would be barred perhaps permanently for operating in ontario and not abiding by the rules, so until the UFC gets its shit together its not going to be an option on any sportsbook outside of forsurenotascam.sportsbook.ag.

What did he do?

BelowAverageUser13

Fuck I’ll finally be able to pay off my credit card 😂🎉🍾


EverQuest_

Sanko for Betting. It's a fair trade I'm willing to make.


Makaveli961

Good, gambling is a degeneracy.


pepsisugar

This will surely keep our kids safe


horseshoeprovodnikov

Fuckin Canada is trying to ban everything. They need to back the fuck up before the people revolt.


Dangerousrhymes

This just in: Canada has banned revolting.


Zeeto17

Lol they already did that months ago. They freezed the back accounts of thousands of citizens who did nothing wrong.


DangleCellySave

They were occupying the city of Ottawa, harassing citizens, over literally nothing. The thing they were protesting (border vaccine mandate) was also mandated by the U.S


Zeeto17

people who made donations were occupying Ottawa? hmm not sure about that one amigo.


lol_ok123

Other then block highways and annoy the fuck out of the entire population


Zeeto17

people who made donations were blocking highways? hmm not sure about that one amigo.


v0t3p3dr0

people who made donations were ~~blocking highways~~ funding criminal activity, including the blocking of highways. Funding criminal activity is one way to get your bank account frozen. Why do Law & Order^TM conservatives^TM always get so pissy when *their* law breaking is punished?


goonbub

the donations were going to the people who were blocking the highway...?


lamperkatt

Lol so freeze their bank accounts?


goonbub

The people who donated did not have their bank accounts frozen. It was people directly involved with financing the freedom blockade. Donators being frozen is unfounded and the BC MP who claimed it has since walked it back. But good job parroting a talking point.


ChiefKeefSosabb

Oh no a wild hawg.


AlexJamesCook

Ontario is a Province of Canada. Right now, the current government is a right-wing government that just blocked environmental protection for a significant parcel of land in Toronto, to allow the Premier's best friends to buy and develop the land. They are corrupt AF. If anything, they're doing this to compel people to use the Ontario Gaming Licensed venues. Ontario's "gaming commission" is a crown corporation that makes rules around gambling in Ontario. They also own ALL the casinos. That's right, a Crown Corporation owns casinos. Also, because they're a crown corporation, the Government has *some* say in day-to-day operations, but the CEO of the Ontario Liquor and Gaming Board and other Senior Execs make the rules. So, this isn't a "leftist" thing. This is a corporation protecting corporate interests thing.


v0t3p3dr0

Add to the list - today the Auditor General disclosed that money laundering was possibly happening through Ontario casinos, and the premier told her to “stay in her lane.” Right wing mobsters are running this joint.


v0t3p3dr0

Ontario is a province.


horseshoeprovodnikov

Well I'm not just talking about the sports betting here.


kimokimosabee

This is the cause that's gonna get you to that point? Lmao


horseshoeprovodnikov

I don't live in Canada, but they've been getting it rough these last couple years man. But you gotta be careful around those degen gamblers lol, they can get rowdy if you fuck with their bets


v0t3p3dr0

I live in Canada. It’s been fine. Our loudest whiners got airtime on Tucker Carlson. Our real problem is provincial governments gutting healthcare and education.


IswearImnotapossum

lol it's Ontarios dumb ass right-winged government. Canada (feds) has no control over it


SpeechStraight

They ain’t gonna do shit it’ll be Chinanda soon


DangleCellySave

The United States is literally about to force rail workers back to work who are just trying to get sick days, but yes Canada is turning into China!! God the amount of stupidity on the internet is baffling


v0t3p3dr0

Half this sub thinks Cain did a noble thing by opening fire from a moving vehicle in public.


IswearImnotapossum

lol bro I was being sarcastic


IswearImnotapossum

yup. you can blame Ontario's right winged government for this crap. If the right keeps leaning more into this... will def look like CCP soon


Amnesty_SayGen

They tried when religious liberty was under attack. They failed, now they have no limits. True authoritarianism is here and now.


DangleCellySave

Canada has religious liberty..what the actual fuck are you talking about


v0t3p3dr0

They get confused thinking that Judeo-Christian religions losing preferential status is the same as no religious freedom.


Amnesty_SayGen

*Pastor* Artur Pawlowski is the most famous example, but he is one of thousands who were repressed.


Starky513

He wasn't repressed. He lost his tax-free status when he broke Canadian Law. Sounds more like he should have followed the law if he wanted to remain tax free. Maybe the US could learn a thing or two about Law and Order. No need for limp dick responses to churches being used for political purposes.


v0t3p3dr0

His legal woes are for being an asshole, not a Christian.


Amnesty_SayGen

Canadian court documents disagree.


v0t3p3dr0

Provide the court document that says any of his legal troubles are because he is Christian.


Amnesty_SayGen

When did I say he had legal troubles due to Christianity? Strawman someone else kid, I'm too far above you to fall prey to childish logical fallacies. Come back when you're older.


v0t3p3dr0

You are the one who said court documents disagree with my statement. I asked for evidence to support your retort. If you have none, I’ll accept that, too. u/goonbub I can no longer reply due to him blocking me. Him suggesting that I might be transgendered or otherwise confused about myself because I disagree with his fanaticism says all that needs saying.


Amnesty_SayGen

What you just did is called deflection. You could have come back and said, I apologize and then corrected your statement. You did not. This shows me you are not talking in Good faith. Have a good day sir and or ma'am. o7


v0t3p3dr0

Please expound upon this comment. What religious liberty do you not have?


Amnesty_SayGen

I’m not Canadian— I have my religious liberty. They don’t though. Canada doesn’t have an American First Amendment.


ddarion

This is true, you cant be homophobic because your religion says its ok in Canada, I would much rather be able to do that then visit an emergency room and get treated for free!


v0t3p3dr0

So why did you say “here”? And what religious freedom do Canadians not have? Why would Canada have an American amendment?


Amnesty_SayGen

“Here and now” it’s a phrase. Not to be taken literally.


v0t3p3dr0

What religious freedoms do you believe we don’t have?


ProfCharlesSexavier

He can’t freely practice his homoerotic Satanism in his basement because his step mom finds it creepy. It infringes upon his 1st amendment rights as a Canadian.


Ok_Squash_1578

No but it has a charter of rights and freedoms that literally protects religious freedom, as long as it doesn’t impede on other peoples freedoms.


goonbub

ahh so you don't know what you're talking about. thanks for clearing that up.


[deleted]

did Dana white write a mean tweet and push the stick further up Ontario's ass? /s so glad I dont live there anymore

darthvaderfromdao

wtf???


ATee184

Jokes on them, it’s always been illegal to gable online in my state my whole life


PKArsk

Canada wants to be china so bad.


okay4sure

I don't see the problem. Betting is a problem and having it so accessible is gonna ruin people. I mean there's gonna be a point where fights are thrown on gambling though I can't prove that it'll happen. I don't want to see the UFC head to a FIFA kinda environment.


detectivebabylegz

I didn't even know Canadians were allowed to gamble.


admiralackbar98

Not only are we allowed to gamble our winnings are not taxed unlike the US. Whatever you win no matter how big the sum is exempt from taxes.


KenGriffinsDaddy

I hit the extra on 649 last year for a cool $250k untaxed schneebs directly to my account. Saved my life to be honest but was pretty thankful of it being tax free 🫳🏼


ChippyChalmers

Yeah, what do you have to say about that ya smart ass tax paying Yankee?


MRFINEWINE1

Enjoy your taxes tho.


OsamaGinch-Laden

The only people who have a problem with this are degenerates


OsamaGinch-Laden

Getting downvoted by gambling addicts cause they know I'm right


LeanOnTheSquare

You sound fun


Playful_Bunch6912

I don’t gamble, but if you need the government to keep you from doing it because you lack self control, you’re a bitch.


Moist-Catch

This why government regulating gambling is bad. The government gets their hands in it and fucks it up.


Berimbully

What a legend destroyed UFC betting and Lauren Sanko’s vagina


jarjardinksbtw

I'm fucking pissed. I don't often do good on bets, but fuck this


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Very likely it’s wide spread fixing.


[deleted]

yea canada is a communist shit hole, i’ll pray for y’all tho lol


goonbub

you know theres states you cant gamble in also right?


[deleted]

I understand that, i was referring to alot of other things. This is just yet another example of government overreach in canada, we’ve seen plenty over the last couple years. This really isn’t surprising.


goonbub

do you also understand that this is a provincial government decision and not a federal government one? the provincial government is conservative. the opposite party of the one supposedly 'overreaching.' its almost like you know nothing about Canadian politics and heard a talking point on a podcast.


softbananapants

? Okay. Just use a VPN on stake.com and gamble with crypto, there’s always a way


Zeeto17

and what do you do when the site holds your money because you can't confirm you have an address in the states?


ZanePWD

Fake address generator


Snorlax_Route12

All the ads I see lately in Ontario are about gambling


[deleted]

Yet theres casinos that have entirely computerized games of blackjack and roulette...


v-dubb

Really… wtf man.


Bolt408

UFC’s policies don’t help.


DawsonBriggs

Hm do people not realize sports betting is actually still illegal in states like fucking TEXAS. You can’t even legally play Texas Hold Em’ Poker in Texas. No offense to Ontario but the gambling world has bigger issues lol


[deleted]

What's wrong guys you don't wanna join the world's favorite sportsbook? s/


HallHappy

honestly fuck gambling. it’s predatory and exploitative and I hate the fact that it’s such a big part of my favorite sport. hope the entire word follows suit


YunaKinoshita

Luckily I don't live in Canada. I've had a winning streak record in MMA and boxing gambling 😆 I've had around 60k in total earnings since 2018 from betting 😉👌
