The Remote Gambling Decree was presented to the parliament, along with two different letters filled with answers responding to questions that had earlier been raised at the previous parliamentary debates. The major points of discussion were in regards to extending the cooling-off period by six-months and whether or not to prohibit the advertisement of online gambling services. At the end of the day, the cool-off period was extended and the proposed ban on advertising was denied.

MLB Betting Picks – New York Mets at Washington Nationals

MLB Betting Picks – New York Mets at Washington Nationals

The NL East is a mess early in the abbreviated season and the New York Mets are a big reason why. They ended a five-game losing streak on Monday avoiding a sweep at the hands of first-place Atlanta, but they’ll navigate the remainder of the season without Yoenis Cespedes, who failed to show up for Sunday’s game and later opted out for COVID-related reasons. The division has been hit hard by COVID with Florida, Philadelphia and the Washington Nationals having games postponed. That leaves the Mets with the second-most wins in the NL East, though they are just a half-game out of the cellar.
