I honestly can't see what the fuss is about, and I'd say that regardless of the political hue of the people currently in hot water. If the bookmakers are twat enough to run a book on something that some people already know the result of, then more fool them. If they offered odds on where Mr Stabby is going on Monday, then Mr Stabby would have a punt on it.

I suppose it's rather like England's goalkeeper placing a huge sum on a bet that England will lose their next game Mr Stabby π Rog

That Denise Coates woman who runs Bet365 is the best paid woman in the UK, and earns about Β£650 million a year. If someone can find a way of nicking a Monkey off of her then I'm not going to get too bent out of shape about it. All of these High Street and internet betting chains which relentlessly advertise on prime TV, destroying the lives of the feeble-minded are worse than heroin dealers.

The betters had privileged information and sought to gain financially from their position of trust.
It's more the lack of intelligence I find disgusting, but the greed and contempt for the rest of us is close I suppose.

ETA I suppose I shouldn't be surprised ... it's the same contemptible, selfish bastards who were partying whilst demanding we locked ourselves away.

Getting you back in the EU are they Jim? You've been crying like a slapped arsed baby for the last 8 years after being on the βlosing sideβ!ππ Are you not ashamed of winning by cheating and lies. Brexit is sooo old hat darling, the genuine majority have moved on, seen sense and would not have voted to quit if they knew then what they know now. Where was the cheating and what were the lies? This countries growth and trade expansion compared to the E.U. stagnation and bitter infighting is starting to disprove the conyinuously whinging remainers.

I voted for Brexit then and I'd vote for Brexit again tomorrow. In a heartbeat. As an HGV driver who gets his hands dirty every single day I'm as Working Class as it's possible to be and Nigel Farage has done more for me than any Labour politician ever has. You are a Middle Class rentier clown whose employment serves little to no purpose to Society and only existed because of eu subsidies so I'm not surprised that you have a sad-on about your Gravy Train being derailed.

Anyway, back to the original post. I don't even know why gambling is legal. Heroin isn't legal, crack cocaine isn't legal, even the most addicted junkie can only get through Β£300 a day in smack or crack whereas a gambler can throw away a lifetime's savings in a day, and these gambling adverts are everywhere.
I suppose you could say that these gamblers are mugs who are fair game to be ripped off and Denise Coates deserves her salary for being bright enough to identify these poor wooden-headed saps, but the purpose of Government should surely be to protect victims regardless of their stupidity. Or you might as well say that the bloke in the internet cafΓ© in Lagos deserves everything he can get.

I really can't understand why gambling advertising is still legal.

I guess because it makes huge sums of money for the government, like alcohol and tobacco.
Perhaps in a more enlightened age we'll look back in amazement , rather like we do now at bear baiting or cock fighting, and wonder what the hell !

Gambling advertising often goes along the lines of 'sign up here and get a free bet' - get em hooked type of stuff. I'd be happy to see alcohol and betting advertising banned.

So would I. But personally I've never found any attraction in betting, and the fascination with alcohol wore off some time ago. I find it difficult to understand why anybody would allow themselves to get fucked up by either but there you go.

I'm someone who likes minimal government interference but if it is to interfere I'd agree on gambling being one the better priorities. As for alcohol, it's often used as a temporary 'escape'. It was heavily used in communist Russia. Indeed, sold at a loss by the government.
