Q&A With Steven Sandor

Don’t be afraid to cash out early. Prediction markets are changing the way that we are looking at betting. Not all bets are absolute; they are in constant flux. If your team is leading 2-1 late, don’t be afraid to cash out early and take 80 per cent of the potential winnings.

I am not like other writers because I don’t like writing in peace and quiet. Slayer’s “Reign in Blood” is prime writing music.

Always read the fine print when visiting gambling sites. Where are they based? What are their withdrawal and deposit rules? These are the basics when doing research.

Luckily, Alberta’s government has been fairly transparent when it comes to the iGaming industry, so the birth of the regulated iGaming industry here has been transparent.
