Well, for me a gambling license is a valid gambling license. If you switch to Malta, it might have something to do with bank accounts or other deposit options.
Since we live in the crypto gambling world, I think a license from Curacao will be enough to run your business. More cheaper solution could be to run it From Costa Rica jurisdiction.
I see that Real Madrid manages to catch Atletico, the match ended in 1-1. So competition is still open.
Maybe the 1.45 value was not as good as was written 

ya.ya.yo!
