So... League of Ireland in the Asia Times, what could be bad about that

Data collated by Sportradar, an agency that monitors suspicious betting patterns, was passed to Uefa and suggested hefty bets were placed, via unregulated Asian online betting portals, on at least two goals being scored in the first half.

Longford were winning 2-0 at half-time.

And then, the data suggested, even more money was put on four or more goals being scored by the final whistle. And even more on Longford hitting the back of Athlone’s net in the final 10 minutes.

Longford went 3-1 up in the 87th minute – for the uninitiated, that’s three minutes before normal stoppage time.

Just before the final goal was scored, Athlone’s new foreign coaches changed tactics and placed Romanian midfielder Dragog Sfrijan into the center of defense. By all accounts, Sfrijan – one of the recent foreign additions – didn’t fare too well, making a laughably absurd mistake and … well, the Longford striker scored the late goal.

Every emotional blackmail trick in the book basically. I felt bad that she was upset, but nowhere near bad enough to cave in.

Mothers, eh?

My answer is the same. Betting markets are far bigger that your local Boyles or PP shop.

Boyles was a joke fyi, they wouldnt take £5 on a LOI game if odds over 4/1

Ya so just spreading money around a mass of markets to get it on!

My friend and his partner have 4 kids together. Before she died, his mother called me into her house one day and asked me to try and get him to get married (they had 2 kids then) as they were living in sin, wouldn't get into heaven, kids not recognised by catholic church, etc.

She is dead a good ten years now but I always start every conversation with friend by saying "your poor mother looking down from heaven wondering will you ever do the right thing and get married. And as for your poor kids, imagine how they will turn out"

Matloubi tried to bluff Ungar all-in for $32,000 on the river with a board of 3-3-7-K-Q. Ungar, who held 10-9, thought for a few seconds and said to Matloubi, "You have 4-5 or 5-6 so I'm gonna call you with this" and flipped over his 10-high to win the pot and bust Matloubi, who in fact held exactly what Ungar said he did.

Reading about Ungar today. Didn't recognise that hand when it was on Billions.

Just like most middle management, or, yes men as i like to call them.

Usually, the only people not afraid to call bullshit are the ones who cant slide down the ladder any further, because they are already on the bottom.

NHS hit with the ransom virus across the country. IT guy who works for them on reddit says it has spread pretty bad with loads of the computers on the network still using windows XP/2000.

Edit - looks like a worldwide attack with a tonne of companies affected. NHS still the major one. What a shitstorm for hospitals and patients.

WanaCrypt0r 2.0 is spreading using the recently disclosed EternalBlue/MS17-010 SMB RCE exploit (NSA tools). A hacking group stole a big treasure trove of previously undisclosed Windows vulnerabilities and hacking tools from the NSA. Said hacking group picked a vulnerability from the trove, wrote a piece of ransomware to take advantage of the vulnerability, and set it loose.

The security update was already released by Microsoft on March 14 - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/.../ms17-010.aspx

The British National Health Service still use Windows XP. Windows XP was end-of-life in April 2014 - no more security patches from MS. The vulnerability is patched in newer versions of windows, but not in XP (end of life!), so the ransomware is spreading like wildfire through networks with legacy machines - like those run by NHS.

A ransomware outbreak is wreaking havoc all over the world, but especially in Spain, where Telefonica — one of the country's biggest telecommunications companies — has fallen victim, and its IT staff is desperately telling employees to shut down computers and VPN connections in order to limit the ransomware's reach.

It isn't that easy though to target them unless you have access to something like the NSA had which was released by the hacker group recently. The virus itself has only been so effective this time due to that backdoor of sorts.

Agreed they have to shoulder a huge amount of the blame. Things obvious very bad but can you imagine the carnage this would have caused if it has been released before MS patched it up. Goodbye sweet world.
