Football Black Gold: 1 trillion speculation on underground betting funds

South Africa's World Cup fighting has reached a white-hot, on July 4 in the early morning of the four-strong all out, as the game advances how many black gold and gold in our unseen underground carnival? Recently, the report on the amount of underground gambling in China has become a hot topic for fans and the media. The 2010 South Africa World Cup group schedule has just begun, there are foreign media to make predictions: "During the World Cup, there will be tens of millions of people directly or indirectly involved in betting." The betting amount will reach 10 billion euros (about 84.4 billion yuan), of which more than 60% of the incremental gambling are from mainland China and Southeast Asia. "What is the concept of 10 billion euros?"　　The World Cup in South Africa costs about 3.8 billion dollars (about 25.9 billion yuan)--10 billion of gambling, can hold 3 such World Cup.　　The World Cup is crazy in every way! According to liberalised, director of the China Public Welfare Lottery Institute at Peking University, the amount of Chinese betting is equally alarming.　　She in China's illegal gambling site tracking research found that its 2009 years of trading amount up to hundreds of billions of dollars, if the similar large and small site transaction amount added, China's illegal gambling estimated to be nearly 1 trillion. A veteran fan said: "Our fans really have a massive exposure to betting, which is at the 2002 World Cup."　　That year, the Chinese team first appeared in the World Cup arena, all the fans cheered, excited, many people will be the result of the expectations of the game into chips. A senior gambler introduced: betting on a variety of ways: cash betting is one of the most elementary ways, which is similar to traditional gambling, which is now rare; the betting was popular 2002 years later, with punters making bets by telephone and by bank transfers or cash;　　With the rapid development of the network, the network gambling ball has gradually become mainstream, accounting for all the way of betting 95%, as long as the betting on the ball site to open an account, registration, can be anywhere to play the ball, and through the net bank transfer, can in a few minutes to achieve the transfer of funds. No matter how the form changes, the formation of the betting system is very simple: the dealer, the multi-level agent and the ordinary gambling ball. The banker refers to the company that hosts the betting, and the agency's duties are mainly to develop subordinate agents or direct gamblers, while the gamblers are the lowest in the chain. Gambling is prohibited by law in our country, so the agents ' activities are carried out underground. On the eve of the World Cup, the Pudong branch of Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau captured a total of 12 agents and ordinary gamblers on the chain of a gambling ball.　　The case clearly reveals how the interests of all parties are linked in the betting chain. According to media reports, in the case, Gamblers Chen is often in a website called "Wynn High", with a credit limit of 100,000 yuan betting on the ball account. A Hua, is the bottom of the agent, his staff include Chen MoU, including 5 players, each month, he will be betting on the amount of bets on 1% of the dividend, which is said in the line of "return to the water." Hwa's online is level twoDeputy "Small Jiangbei". He has a number of gambling site accounts, and assigned them to HWA and other different offline for them to carry out business. The biggest "fish" in the whole case is the first agent "Big Mao".　　He directly contact with the offshore gambling companies, to obtain the right to proxy, and then through the line, sit to enjoy the "return to water." Pudong police said, "gambling ball chain of the organizational structure and MLM similar to the introduction of acquaintances, and each level of agents and their own offline is a one-way link."　　Once a certain line is disconnected, the line will immediately realize that ' an accident '. The source of the betting chain, without exception, is the overseas gambling website. It is understood that at present there are more than 1400 gambling websites in the world, the top three are the Jibo of England, the win of Austria and the William of England.　　Foreign counterparts told reporters that a large gaming site, the number of registered users will reach tens of millions of, the same period of bets on even up to tens of thousands of strokes. In the 2002, offshore gaming companies saw a huge market in China. Although they are afraid of the restrictions of Chinese law and have been unable to enter, they are still recruiting agents in China through various channels and developing their own betting chains.　　Agents "return to the water" for profit, and the bigger winner is the gambling company. The increasingly hot gaming industry and the huge profits behind it have spawned a growing number of betting cases. In the 2006, the Italian football "telephone door", the world's football history, the most influential, involving the widest group of gambling cases. As Juventus club general manager Moggi and the referee between the telephone recording was exposed, set off a strong Italian football earthquake, the chairman of the Football Association, vice chairman of the resignation, the Juventus board of directors resigned, including AC Milan, Florence and other Italian football Serie A (after abbreviation Serie A) Giants team into " Match-fixing "scandal.　　Serie A, once a "little World Cup", has been on the wane after the scandal. The harm of betting is not simply the creation of "match-fixing". It is reported that China's annual loss of funds through betting can build 400 Shanghai Disneyland, liberalised has also thrown "2006 China's network outflow gambling as high as 600 billion yuan" argument.　　These two figures are too big to pay attention to, but the use of "billion" to measure the size of Chinese gambling is already the consensus of the industry. At the present stage, illegal gambling has caused serious harm to our society and economy. "Liberalised told reporters," the large amount of funds in the illegal market flows, especially the outflow of funds, to China's financial regulation, financial security poses a great challenge; on the other hand, for the individuals involved in gambling, many people are either unemployed or in debt, as a result of gambling separated even on the road of illegal crime; Because of our country's illegal gambling behavior of sentencing standards are very low, the organizers of these illegal betting activities, including all levels of agents and market makers, may be driven by profiteering, not only illegal gambling industry will become increasingly rampant, more likely to spawn usury, triad and other criminal organizations, affecting social stability.　　"This year, China's action to combat yellow gambling virus in full swing, there are media reports that only the Beijing police have cracked the network gambling case 100, the net gambling related gangs 16." "Internet gambling is rampant, the key is gambling and gambling transactions electronic, difficult to investigate evidence." NET gambling liquidity is large, easy to destroy evidence of crime-criminals can delete computer records, cancellation of bank accounts and other ways to make the evidence missing, the police can only grasp the evidence seen in the investigation. In addition, the Internet without Borders, the police can only close gambling sites in the mainland rented servers, and now often originated in the outside, the formation of an inability to collect evidence, can not eradicate the situation.　　"Liberalised is deeply concerned about the effectiveness of the game against gambling. South Africa's World Cup began more than 10 days, the domestic has cracked at least two of the money involved in the amount of more than billion illegal gambling cases.　　In accordance with recent World Cup, the European Cup and other major soccer games during the rampant history of illegal gambling activities, in the domestic public security departments under the policy, the World Cup next and after the end of the period, there should be more betting on the case of the ball broke. However, the results of the crackdown is often lack of sustained effect, to the next World Cup, the European Cup at the beginning of the domestic large-scale illegal gambling activities will likely be revived, or even intensified.　　Industry insiders recently told reporters that the domestic illegal gambling activities repeated, the country spent enormous manpower and material resources repeatedly, but can not eradicate this social "cancer", largely because only plugging, and such a policy is clearly difficult to cure. Because the domestic regular football lottery game way can not meet the players, fans in football guessing entertainment needs. Liberalised has long been engaged in the field of gambling in England, America and other countries. Work and research, and as the executive chairman of the World Lottery Research association based in Macau, China, she said that in the more developed countries, soccer betting is very rich in the types of football betting, the fun, interesting and participatory nature are very strong,　　This is precisely the extent to which illegal betting activities in these countries are far less harmful than China's main cause. "In the final analysis, football lottery is a commodity. Liberalised said, "a commodity if the design is not in place, the natural will not be favored by consumers." "The Chinese football Lottery has been launched for nearly 10 years, but the game, which is mainly played by the winners and losers, remains at the level of 10 years ago."　　According to liberalised, the world's mainstream form of football betting has already entered the era of real-time guessing, and China's large number of ordinary people and fans are keen to participate in illegal gambling activities, largely because of illegal gambling is more entertaining and stimulating than the regular football lottery. But behind the entertainment and irritation, it is the huge social harmfulness implied by the illegal gambling activities. Liberalised said that the first is illegal gambling activities involved in the amount of money is often very large. According to her, some of the domestic illegal gambling activities involved in the amount may be more than 100 billion yuan, equivalent to China's sports and welfare lottery total annual sales. Every year, there are thousands of domesticBillions of dollars or more are invested in illegal betting and gambling, and huge sums of money are flowing out of the world, and illegal betting and gambling have become a bottomless hole to devour social wealth. Illegal gambling activities also seriously affected the social stability, resulting in a tragedy. Liberalised said that due to illegal betting activities on the gambling no cap, and provide the first bet after the payment of the credit service, it is easy to cause gamblers lost rational blind gambling, and formal, legal betting activities are usually in these areas have strict restrictions.　　Illegal betting activities are often linked to triad societies and criminal syndicates, and are a potential threat to social violence. However, only by the severe blows of the public security organs, it is not really possible to eliminate illegal gambling activities.　　In fact, years of practical experience in the country have embarrassed evidence that, after every crackdown, illegal betting activities are often a comeback. This is reminiscent of the 2002 Hong Kong government's forced announcement of the legalization of football betting after years of ineffective action. Liberalised said: "The fight against illegal gambling activities need a package of plans, and not unilaterally rely on the intervention of public security organs." The lesson of Hong Kong has shown that in the fight against illegal gambling, congestion is the only way to achieve the best results. "In fact, any country with a well-developed soccer betting industry is also a country that has a better grip on illegal betting activities," he said.　　China and Southeast Asia and other countries and regions are the hardest hit by illegal gambling activities, where the development of football betting industry is lagging behind. Liberalised said that the more effective means of dredging to deal with the wild illegal gambling activities in the country, the Chinese football lottery in the management and marketing level put forward higher requirements. Although foreign experience has shown that countries with market-oriented football betting tend to have higher levels of football betting, it is still a problem for China at present how to further improve the current level of football lottery development-whether it is to continue to be run by the government or by market-based means.
