When is the last time you have invited someone into your home to sit down and dive into the parts of life that go deeper than everyday conversation?If this isn't something that you do, or have done recently, what's holding you back? Is it space? Is it clutter? Is it fear of what people might see when you let your walls down?For me, at one point or another it's been all of those things, and I know I'm not alone in that. That's why I'm so excited to share today's conversation with Victoria Duerstock.Victoria Duerstock is a creative, an author of multiple books, and has over 20 years of experience in interior design. Today we are talking about the richness that letting our walls down and literally opening up our doors has on our lives---despite what they look like, how big they are, how much laundry we have piled up, or how our kids behave.This conversation has come at such a perfect time because over the last year or so, Corey and I have chosen to finally get rooted in a town and intentionally dive deep into the relationships around us. We desired to find a community that we could do life with, and go beyond simple conversation and small talk. God has been so good in blessing us with that in His timing, and honestly none of these deep relationships would exist if our friends had not let their walls down, and invited us into their worlds and their homes.The richer our relationships get, the more I see this lacking in our generation as a whole and it's something I truly believe we desperately need. I can only say this because I went years believing that growing roots in a community and connecting deeper with other people outside of my immediate family had no value. How wrong I was!Victoria is so full of wisdom even in this short conversation. Not only does she share truths about the importance of getting past trying to “appear” a certain way, but she gives tactical tips on how to style our homes and make them more inviting.I hope you leave this conversation today feeling inspired to invite others into your world, and make your home a mission field.Episode Highlights: Victoria's journey to where she is now.The heart behind her new bookMaking your Home a Place of Mission with Victoria Duerstock.How to be more mission-minded when it comes to our homes.Things we can do to become more connected in this crazy world.Simple ways to re-decorate with what you already have!More on Guest:Victoria's WebsiteGet Guard Your Heart and Home HEREConnect with Victoria on InstagramLinks Mentioned in Episode/Find More on A Force to Be Reckoned With:Jointheforce.usFollow Bethany on Instagram @bethanyadkinsFollow Corey on Instagram @mrcoreyadkinsFind us on Youtube!Email Bethany at bethany@adkinsmedia.co This show has been produced by Adkins Media Co.

Don Martin and Ernie Manning reminiscences on the days of SP BookmakingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Illegal bookmaking operates in the shadows, offering bettors credit, anonymity, and better odds than legal sportsbooks, but at the risk of brutal enforcement by organized crime when debts go unpaid. Despite the rise of legalized sports betting, underground bookies remain popular due to the personal relationships they build with clients and the lure of untaxed, unregulated profits. As the industry evolves, many operations have moved online, using offshore servers and cryptocurrencies to avoid detection. High-profile busts, like the 2024 international sting that dismantled a massive betting ring, show that law enforcement continues to fight this illegal trade, but its adaptability ensures its survival.(commercial at 9:46)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Ep. 90 features Malcolm Wilkinson and Steve Steck from We The Bookie, which is Ireland's only truly socially-responsible bookmaker. Hear them discuss: Integrating social impact into stigmatized industries, including gambling Their unique model that sees We The Bookie share its profits with customers that have a losing month Why they picked Ireland as their go-to-market jurisdiction to prove out the model before expanding internationally Their experience going through the process of selecting a platform vendor, and the challenges associated with it Why We The Bookie "won't ever have online slots" Gaining experience pitching at industry conferences and events, including this week at SiGMA Malta Learn more

In this special episode, I am joined by friend of the show, Anthony Kaminskas (AK) to talk about his new online bookmaking website - akbets.bet and his shift from being a high staking, winning punter to that of bookie.AKbets was launched in early March 2023 and has attracted a lot of interest from punters due to AK's desire to do things differently to the large 'corporate' bookmakers and to offer better, more personal customer service and to accept bets they might otherwise refuse.In this chat we explore all aspects of how AK deals with smart punters, with some specific examples of when and where he is happy to lay bets, especially when the information is useful to him and the market is liquid enough to take it on.We also discuss his disdain for 'arbers' and why he can't and won't accommodate people who are in his words 'taking the mick' and why he does his best to engage and explain his decisions on what he will and wont take to customers. That in itself is a mightily refreshing take on bookmaking and he speaks with honesty and transparency about not only this, but his business, why he decided to be a bookie, including the decisions he made on skins, licenses, technology and more.Starting out as a licensed bookmaker, especially online is a intense, costly business but if anyone can, AK can and my thanks go to him for being so open and honest about the reality of betting and bookmaking. If you are interested in learning about bookmaking and more on whether you should open an account with him, this podcast will tell you all you need to know.Discover More:Learn more on the Smart Betting Club and how we help winning bettors at https://smartbettingclub.com/ Visit AKBets and open an account: https://akbets.bet/AKBets Twitter account: @AKBets87Podcast feedback - contact SBC on twitter @sbcinfoRead more about each SBC Podcast episode: https://smartbettingclub.com/the-smart-betting-club-podcast/
In this latest episode I was joined by David Lovell, one of the brothers behind the Welsh based bookmaker, DragonBet on the reality of running both an online and on course bookmaking operation.With a long established on course bookmaking presence as begun by their father, John Lovell, David and his brother James recently launched their own website - DragonBet to take bets online.Dragonbet is one of a growing number of smaller, independent firms branching out into online offerings and David talks frankly about all aspects of this, from using a white label solution, to the intense work involved to maintain it all and how its an all encompassing job.We also get into how they approach sharp money and laying bets from smart punters and their desire to be an approachable firm that does things differently, both online and on course.With a strong presence in Wales and the promise of top of the market odds on Welsh sport, they are also hoping to appeal to punters both based in Wales and with an interest in betting on teams and events based in the country.All told, its a fascinating insight into the reality of running a bookmakers and the challenges it poses operators in 2023.

Michael Torosian has spent his life taking photographs, interviewing great photographers, and making fine press photography books. He's in the process of making another entitled Lumiere Press, Printer Savant and Other Stories to commemorate the establishment of the Lumiere Press Archive at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library in Toronto. It's full of life lessons and back-stories illuminating each of the twenty-two books he's published over the past four decades. We sat down in his workshop, behind his house in Toronto, to talk about the book. Topics covered in this first installment of a two part conversation include: photography, bookmaking, relentless exploration, 'general aesthetics,' cultivating aptitudes, the blossoming of the photography market, Edward Weston, Aaron Siskind, decoding visual language, composition, respect, paying homage, the Ninth Street Show, Gordon Parks, learning as the key to existence, making every word count, the Paris Review's Writers at Work series, capturing the voice of the artist, the book as the medium of photography, and more.
It's an episode with a difference today as my guest is Simon Nott - a man more used to posing the questions then answering them via his very popular Betting People interview series.Simon is someone steeped in betting having worked in the ring for several on-course bookmakers for several years and now perhaps most famous for his interviews with some of the biggest movers and shakers in the betting world.We explore Simon's vast experience working on course and the buzz this used to generate for both bookmakers and punters alike with the need for quick thinking, excellent math skills and a very thick skin.Simon also discusses how bookmaking has changed these days and the challenges on course layers face, yet also why punters might wish to consider venturing back to the racecourse to get their bets on and some of the up-and-coming firms trying out new approaches.He also shares his thoughts on the Betting People series of interviews and some of the guests he has had on, how it all began, the guest he most regrets not having on and the plans to develop it further in the future.As well as being someone with a wealth of experience in the betting world, Simon is also one of the nicest guys you would ever hope to meet and so it was an absolute pleasure to spend time talking to him for this episode.Discover More:Learn more on the Smart Betting Club and how we help winning bettors at https://smartbettingclub.com/ Find Simon on Twitter @SimonNottHis website: https://www.simonnott.co.uk/Simon's book Skint Mob available on Kindle: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Skint-Mob-Tales-Betting-Ring-ebook/dp/B00HUWR8REPodcast feedback - contact SBC on twitter @sbcinfoRead more about each SBC Podcast episode: https://smartbettingclub.com/the-smart-betting-club-podcast/

When is the last time you have invited someone into your home to sit down and dive into the parts of life that go deeper than everyday conversation?If this isn't something that you do, or have done recently, what's holding you back? Is it space? Is it clutter? Is it fear of what people might see when you let your walls down?For me, at one point or another it's been all of those things, and I know I'm not alone in that. That's why I'm so excited to share today's conversation with Victoria Duerstock.Victoria Duerstock is a creative, an author of multiple books, and has over 20 years of experience in interior design. Today we are talking about the richness that letting our walls down and literally opening up our doors has on our lives---despite what they look like, how big they are, how much laundry we have piled up, or how our kids behave.This conversation has come at such a perfect time because over the last year or so, Corey and I have chosen to finally get rooted in a town and intentionally dive deep into the relationships around us. We desired to find a community that we could do life with, and go beyond simple conversation and small talk. God has been so good in blessing us with that in His timing, and honestly none of these deep relationships would exist if our friends had not let their walls down, and invited us into their worlds and their homes.The richer our relationships get, the more I see this lacking in our generation as a whole and it's something I truly believe we desperately need. I can only say this because I went years believing that growing roots in a community and connecting deeper with other people outside of my immediate family had no value. How wrong I was!Victoria is so full of wisdom even in this short conversation. Not only does she share truths about the importance of getting past trying to “appear” a certain way, but she gives tactical tips on how to style our homes and make them more inviting.I hope you leave this conversation today feeling inspired to invite others into your world, and make your home a mission field.Episode Highlights: Victoria's journey to where she is now.The heart behind her new bookMaking your Home a Place of Mission with Victoria Duerstock.How to be more mission-minded when it comes to our homes.Things we can do to become more connected in this crazy world.Simple ways to re-decorate with what you already have!More on Guest:Victoria's WebsiteGet Guard Your Heart and Home HEREConnect with Victoria on InstagramMore on The Millennial Mission/Links Mentioned in Episode:Follow us on IG: @bethanyandcoreySign Up for exclusive discounts, benefits, and top secret info only our podcast listeners get!www.millennialmission.coPress Inquiries/Contact: bethany@millennialmission.co

Traditional sports betting dates back to the Ancient Greeks and the Olympics. In Ancient Rome, the practice was formally legalised. Esports is only possible through the development of interactive technology and so it follows that bookmakers would follow the innovations. As esports has developed into a global phenomenon, what are some difficulties that esports bookmaking has needed to navigate due to location specific laws and cultural norms and what can the practice offer the growing industry? On this week's special episode, Craig Levine, Co-CEO of ESL Gaming; Marc Brody, Vice President of Business Development at Bally's Interactive; and Daniel Schnapp, Partner at Sheppard Mullin, discuss the current state of bookmaking in esports, gambling's role in adding additional revenue streams, and how wagering can work with fantasy esports to spread awareness of the industry's potential further and much more. This is the third episode in ESI Focus's series on Law in Esports, presented by Sheppard Mullin, hosted by Esports Insider's Head of Multimedia Content, Kerry Waananen.
