What is interesting about this event and what consequences it can have for the legal betting market in Russia?

so, "Sports Lotteries" is a new lottery operator on the domestic market, at the origins of which is BC League of Stakes and the Boxing Federation of Russia.

And this is very important, since relatively recently the head of the Russian Boxing Federation (FBI) Umar Kremlev (real name Umar Ali-Lutfulloev), appealed to the Prime Minister of the country Mikhail Mishustin with a proposal to liquidate the "Association of Bookmakers" and "First SRO of Bookmakers" together with the controlled by them CUPIS. Kremlin proposed to transfer full control over the betting business to a public law company - "The Unified Sports Forecast Regulator"

It was also proposed to create a Unified Center for Recording the Transfer of Rates under a public company, which will control all bets and bet payouts.

As conceived by the Kremlin, the development of a new platform must be entrusted to LLC "Sport and Fatherland", the founder of which is ANO "Boxing Progress Center", controlled by the Kremlin.

And here you can already see a direct connection with BC League of Stakes. The fact, that there was previously information about the Kremlin's connection with this bookmaker, what seriously worries market participants.

It is important to remind, what 7 years ago, businessman Suleiman Karimov became one of the shareholders of the Betting League BC. According to available information, then Karimov was assured, that this bookmaker will become a monopolist of the market due to SRO, League of Stakes created on the basis of BC

However, in 2013 Russia failed to monopolize online betting in a year. maybe, what now, with the advent of the "National Sports Lottery", there is a second attempt to capture the Russian betting market.

They say, that representatives of law enforcement agencies may be interested in monopolization and seizure of the betting market. In particular, the name of the head of the President's Security Service and the deputy director of the FSO, Colonel-General Alexei Rubezhny. Kremlin and Rubizhny have almost the same powers in the Russian Boxing Federation, and, perhaps, with the light hand of the last initiative of the Kremlin hit the table with Mishustin.

Chance to win the lottery

Often mathematics, teaching game theory course in higher mathematics, make fun of, that the chances of being hit by a car on the way to the lottery booth are much higher, than the likelihood of winning the lottery. Thereby assuring their students not to buy lottery tickets for the last scholarship. Trying to find the answer to the mathematically difficult question of the likelihood of a huge win, one should not forget a simple truth - if everyone could win a significant amount in the lottery, then the lottery business would not flourish.

In fact, complex mathematical models of game theory are reduced to, what with the ticket price, eg, 10 hryvnia and the amount of the expected winnings 100 000 hryvnia less likely to win 1/10000. Often, asking a person to choose between winning a million hryvnia with a chance 1/100000 and 1000 hryvnia with probability 1/4, many will immediately choose a million, although from a mathematical point of view the gain 1000 hryvnia at odds 1/4 more profitable.
