Pro-democracy supporters raise banners that read: "Referendum," during a kickoff ceremony of an referendum on democracy under a plan of Occupy-style protest in Hong Kong, Friday, June 20, 2014. The Occupy Central protest calls for 10,000 people to take over the streets of the financial district sometime in the coming months if the government fails to come up with a satisfactory reform proposal to choose the city's next leader, who is currently picked by a committee of mostly pro-Beijing elites.

In this photo June 9, 2014 shows the officers from Hong Kong Policeâs organized crime and triad bureau display stacks of cash seized after they launched an operation with counterparts in mainland China to smash a cross-border illegal gambling syndicate days before the start of the World Cup finals in Brazil. While teams battle for glory at footballâs biggest event, the biggest winners may be Asiaâs illegal bookmakers, who are thriving because demand from sports fans to place bets is surging but legal options are few. Government monopoly operators offer legal sports betting in a handful of Asian jurisdictions but there are thousands more black market operators. Asia accounts for just over half of the nearly $700 billion in illegal bets placed worldwide each year, according to a sports monitoring group.
