    The Sting (2022)

    in General Discussion

    A bunch of hicks from rural Western India pull off an elaborate online betting scam on Russian punters betting on cricket matches:



    www.theverge.com
    Indian farmers streamed fake pro cricket matches to Russian bettors for two weeks
    Bettors waged thousands on the fake tournament.

    Vaguely reminds of the movie The Sting (1973):


    en.wikipedia.org
    The Sting - Wikipedia

    The common theme is that it's a fake betting racket involving advance/line feeds and live commentary, and the mobster(s)/bad guy(s) get conned in a reversal of roles. In the Indian/Russian case, they even had live Youtube feeds from a fake live cricket match held in a field somewhere, complete with the sweaters/jerseys of real cricket teams.


    It's just too damn funny.

    OMG. Totally true, I MET Paul Newman. One of my college roommates was a member of the University of Pittsburgh race team. I am not sure, but I think PN sponsored the team, or helped them get their car or whatever, but he SHOWED UP at a race. My roommate Andy was totally chill, just chatting with him, and I was standing there in a stupor, and we were introduced. I said something like “I’m so nice to meet you.” Or something equally stupid. He was as beautiful as you’d think.
