Look, there's live betting possible on the Slovakian U20 volleyball championship

 

 

Quite a big selection is possible, including who will win each point and stuff like how many points each team will get per set

I love how some sports federations are trying to geoblock viewiers from some countries from their broadcast on youtube because they sold the rights to some tv  channel 

 

For example in theory FIVB broadcasts all women's OQT games live on youtube, but they are geoblocked in many countries. The Result? There have been like 5 additional live streams of the previous match Netherlands-South Korea, one of which had at one point about 8k viewers, whike the official one had at the same time about 3k And there as I said have been a few other streams... so basically they didn't only create larger audience for the TV transmission, they did not make profit either from a wider audience watching on Television, or on their channel where they could have had like four times more people watching, either. They just helped to create a bunch of pirated streams 

 

I know that's probably part of their deal with television, but they really should have learned something by now

Today I went to the "open days" of the Dutch air force, which always has a rather big air show. Guess what, one of the demo's/shows was done by a Slovak air force MiG-29 and it was an awesome one
