[The Daily SPACER] Slingshotting affected as betting hub is off the grid….

Eros has been the classic open betting hotspot of the belt with it’s trademark slogan “Everyone is a winner on Eros!” for a century now while many other belt stations have tightened the restrictions on betting, handing out limited licenses to big corporate entities only or banning this form of betting altogether.



Slingshot and pod racing, two forms of little regulation / high risk / high reward entertainments are currently suffering from the outage of their main business hub in the belt.



Quite a few popular racers such as slingshot ace Corvus Train have postponed already announced and promoted attempts. It seems that risking to pay excessive docking fees in preponderation seems worth the wait until the official betting industry will be back on track, to compensate the losses.



However, Ceres and Vesta based sources are reporting a noticeable increase in illegal back-room betting on both stations where unlicensed betting is a punishable offense.



Some even say this is a chance for smaller and even riskier operations who have just better connections into the underworld on both stations and expect a noticeable shift in the hierarchy of who controls slingshot and pod racing earning in the foreseeable future. This situation is expected to solidify even more should the Eros blackout continue for a longer time.



What is your opinion on slingshotting in general and do you enjoy placing a bet now and then?

Would you risk to go beyond the local regulations to cater your guilty pleasure?
