Titanbet.com is holding a WC prediction competition and I'd like to participate. According to the site's terms, it's off-limits to residents of the USA; I'm American, but lucky me I'm not currently a resident of the USA.

But AFAIK gambling is generally illegal in Korea. I'm betting only a very small amount of money ($1, the required minimum for participating in the WC prediction competition), but of course the potential prize is very large.

A) low limit games like that have so much variance that good players almost never win, it's luck of the draw type stuff.
B) it's legal gray area, I won't bore you with a wall of text, research it yourself.
