Why are these feckers ,many already grossly wealthy ,encouraging all and sundry, especially the young ,into the world of betting .
Why is it that some people have to bet on a football game ,knowing the odds on winning are slim .
Why is Robbie Savage tweeting Coral adverts on his page and why has a former great player in Alan Shearer signed up as an ambassador for Coral.
We ve got a generation of 11-16 yr olds with addiction PR problems given how easy it is to chuck away money like this ,offering a bright reward for their state but in reality they simply chuck wir money away .
We are sleep walking into a public health storm .
Football and spit is now sadly saturated with betting and this is not good ,folks ,at least not on my opinion .
Try keeping reppnzes respectful eh |  | | |  |

To make more money - they don’t give a feck about any consequences | | | |

Many of the pundits had serious gambling issues so sadly another case of money / greed being priority over any ethical responsibility. Gambling responsibility guidelines are a complete joke. The betting industry use any tactics to make customers who can't afford it spend more. |  | | |

Serious post boys.
Gambling is a curse . Used to do it as a young man and it did me some harm .
We allow this curse ,we nurture it and make it more assessable for often poor people to lose shay money they have ,by offering them a way out of poverty or a lack of " treats"
I'm amazed socialist Politians do not fight tooth and nail to protect working people from this disease wrapped up as a business. It's only function is to screw people and the younger and more naive the better ,like smoking ,get them hooked ....but we allow it . We glorify it in many cases or make it more palatable . It's a nasty business .
Horse taxing ? a sport ? Just please. A billion pound industry led by the filthiest degerates alive,oligarchs, Royalty, Aristocracy , Landowners all employing people to breed horses ,race them sometimes killing them ,in the name of " sport" . Glorious Goodwood and Royal Ascot , Cheltenham festival, Grand National.
We ve had the sense to try to eliminate smoking from good ol working class pleasures now we ve got to do it with gambling ,drinking and sugar coated crap . We re killing our kids .
Thanks | | | |

Betting on football has been going on for many years, gambling on horses even longer.
Haven’t you, on here, been an advocate of personal choice by saying things like if a person wants to drink 10 pints a day or smoke 40 cigarettes a day that they know full well the circumstances and it’s down to them.
Could the same be said for gambling? |  | | |
| Gambling and the Pundits on 10:13 - Jun 16 with 2030 views | Neath_Jack |
Same as most things in life, if done in moderation it's fine.
Trouble is, many people have addictive tendencies, be it drugs, alcohol (as evidenced on here), betting, etc etc. |  |

Where do I infer labour is complicit in this specifically. Tommy. I could say the same to you about not being able to help yourself . With respect matey
All politicians as a whole over the years have done nowt to stop this relentless surge of gambling .
I'm actually not having it that Labour do not have members that are not involved in promoting gambling.
I can't help myself when I see and hear already rich ex footballers touting themselves as ambassadors for this evil industry .
To make it clear to you and others,frankly, I am no Tory boy, nor vile scum , and have no political allegiances whatsoever . I have contempt for all . Distrust too. Hatred in many cases.
I see myself as classless and refuse to be labelled and this Industry is dangous to all social sectors but particularly damaging in low wage homes. I have sympathy for the families of rich families to lose homes etc but more for those coming from low wage homes who are encouraged to feed the gambling industry in the hope of a few extra quid .... Fook, I'm sounding like a socialist | | | |

I find her stance on this hypocritical. She opened the refurbished Gala bingo hall in Morriston some time ago. A place that actively encourages gambling. I seem to remember her being quite defensive of this when challenged on social media too. | |

I'm good at trapping Tom.
I can only repeat ,I go my own way. I respect your views . I share some myself.
I m so apolitical you wouldn't believe .
I would actually close betting shops in areas of depravation as I would refuse licences for McDonald, KFC and Burger King who prey on young employees to feed those who really should not be allowing themselves to eat themselves to death ... Make no mistake, obesity kills | | | |

All sorts of things have been going on for years Riger but doesn't mean they should now.
Gambling is a curse and young people clearly being targeted to perpetuate it all.
It's appalling. | | | |

If anyone wants a tip today - I like Kuzmova to beat Flipkens at odds of 2.25. Starts at 12pm, Semi Final of Hertogonbosch |  | | |

It heightens the buzz of whatever sport you follow. Plus some people are good at betting.
However those that start chasing losses are the real victims.
I've lost many a bet, but with some of my wins I've been able to afford things I wouldn't normally have been able to.
Maybe that is the key? If you win well have something to show for it. |  | | |

So because the stakes aren't so high, means that it's ok? Surely it's relative to how much someone is able to afford/no afford to gamble? | |

| Gambling and the Pundits on 13:06 - Jun 16 with 1829 views | Shaky |
I agree with you somewhat Perch.
Many gambling addicts mention that one of the motivating factors is the perceived machismo of betting rituals.
Grow up, boys. |  |

It's certainly too cheap and too accessible.
Let's be honest, there s nothing good about it,nor s,prong nor gambling
Think our Welsh non conformist preachers had a point
Burning hell | | | |

They could, of course, ban online gambling, and also make bookies shops cash only. |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

I'm fed up of being lectured to about gambling just because a bunch of weak willed half wits have no self control.
If you don't think you can control yourself don't gamble, but stop whining about those who do have a measure of self control and enjoy the odd flutter as well as those who enjoy topping up their earnings on a regular basis by frequenting betting shops and online gambling sites.

I'm fed up with seeing and reading the grotesque adverts for betting being supported by multi millionaires with no thought than for their bank balance .
Odd flutter? Why do it anyway. Excitement ? If so you need another outlet .
I'm sick of people making excuses for having cheap fags ,booze and betting shops in e middle of our high streets and all of our sink estates | | | |

Another fair point
You can keep lambasting her for trying to do something positive to kerb this though.
And I’ll praise her for trying to help
