That’s more than just a gambler’s natural optimism. Despite the big losses that e-commerce ventures have racked up lately, analysts and stock pickers are betting on gambling sites. When Flutter was looking for second-round finance in June, its offer was oversubscribed fivefold. Among its backers: Swiss bankers UBS and French luxury-goods concern LVMH.

Fear is a familiar feeling to many of these athletes, whose daring has been critical to their success. They include downhill skiing star Picabo Street, whose reckless charges down the mountain have twice derailed her career with serious knee injuries; figure skater Michael Weiss, for whom a missed quad jump can become the equivalent of a 10-foot spill onto concrete; skiing aerialist Joe Pack, who does triple flips and spins from a height of 55 feet; snowboarder Chris Klug, who faced a liver transplant last summer that could have meant the end of his career; and skeleton champ Jim Shea Jr....

Russia’s month-old Chechnya operation has been a disaster for the army – and its commander in chief. Boris Yeltsin was in political trouble already, thanks to a sinking economy and the perception that he has given in to both the mafia and the hard-liners.

Murray (37-4-1, 17 KOs) was ahead 116-111, 118-109 and 118-108 on the judges’ cards after an ugly 12-round bout. “We knew he was tough, we knew he was rugged. I just needed to keep a cool head," Murray said of Garcia. “We knew he’d come in low. I needed to put the rounds in the bank to win it, which we did easy.” Both fighters were cagey in the opening round, then started trading punches in the second....

But in reality, music fans were mostly confused by Chris Gaines. That’s probably because Gaines wasn’t actually even a real person, but a bizarre idea concocted by country music megastar Garth Brooks. The fact that Gaines played alternative rock and had an Australian accent only served to further confound fans. For the fans fully invested into the strangeness that was Chris Gaines, Garth’s performance today provided ample opportunity to reference the misguided alter-ego concept on Twitter....

The notion of an upcoming gas boycott has begun to circulate on TikTok, with participating users calling on consumers to not buy gas from July 3 through July 5. The date range was chosen to coincide with the Fourth of July, since extended holiday weekends are generally viewed as times when more Americans are traveling and gas prices rise accordingly. One video in the trend, which was posted on June 16, has been viewed over 14 million times, with the topic overall generating over 400 million views across the platform....

According to AAA, the national average gas price reached $4.252 on Wednesday.

Milan took a commanding lead in their Europa League last-32 tie as Patrick Cutrone, Ricardo Rodriguez and Fabio Borini found the net in Bulgaria, extending the Rossoneri’s unbeaten start to 2018. But Gattuso was far from satisfied with the victory due to his belief that the result did not reflect the visitors’ poor performance. “I wouldn’t call it the perfect performance as we could have played better, even if it’s always difficult in Europe,” he told Sky Sport Italia ....

The Democrat took to Twitter after a federal judge in San Diego, Roger T. Benitez, found the ban to be unconstitutional. In his ruling, Benitez compared AR-15 style weapons to a Swiss Army Knife. “Overturning CA’s assault weapon ban and comparing an AR-15 to a SWISS ARMY KNIFE is a disgusting slap in the face to those who have lost loved ones to gun violence,” Newsom said. “This is a direct threat to public safety and innocent Californians....

The day’s biggest sale, $14,950, was an autographed copy of the plea for 1920s murderers Leopold and Loeb by Clarence Darrow, the renowned leftist lawyer. A letter from anarchist Bartolomeo Vanzetti, executed for allegedly killing a factory officer, went for $5,060....

General anesthesia also poses a risk of life-threatening issues such as a condition that can lead to organ failure. Thankfully, most people have no issues or only minor ones in the hours and days following their surgery. While severe reactions are rare, they do occur. Some people are at greater risk for side effects of general anesthesia than others....

Davis, 21, now has the job Clinton coveted long ago. But in other ways his story, surroundings and outlook couldn’t be more different. There is no war or draft to give politics life-and-death urgency. Race remains an issue, but in a less sweeping, more personal way. There were incidents of intolerance on campus last year–a menorah was toppled, racial and anti-gay graffiti were scrawled on walls. Davis, a diligent, soft-spoken African-American from Oregon, won as a symbol of unity....
