Or Alcohol, or Macdonalds, Coca Cola, Mars Bars, Lard.

Who determines which 1 is bad and which isnt.
Gambling > fags > alcohol > fast food if you want me to determine.
At least in terms of danger of addiction.
 

Sky sports app is full of skybet odds and advertising but that is fine it seems. I couldn’t name three clubs with gambling sponsors as I pay no attention to them. I think the advertising on football shirts is nothing in comparison to the actual gambling advertising in other parts of the game.

Spot on, especially when sky tv are practically begging you to bet.
 
Let me get this right in my head, betting companies sponsoring football clubs is so harmful that it has to be banned but the Grand National is a national treasure. People are so gullible that if they see the name of a betting company on a football shirt they will get addicted to gambling but television companies can televise the very events that most people are betting on and the very same people won’t notice.
That surely makes sense to someone.

2 of these things are demonised, 2 of them arent.

Thats the issue for me, everybody loves a drink, so aint nobody ever coming for the biggest and worst, for me.

For me gambling can be done in secret, people
You don’t expect, drifting towards bankruptcy in silence without family member knowing it’s going on.
You will know more gambling addicts then alcoholics but you won’t suspect them. Relapsing as gambling addict is higher than most other addictions
 

This really needs to be done, but they need to go all the way, this has to be the start of it.
Unless people have seen it for themselves they don't understand how many lives have been destroyed by gambling, especially in cities and working class areas.

We all have our life experiences, mate.

As I say, gambling has never impacted my life, but Alcohol issues with certain people in my life certainly has.

Im not saying 1 is worse than the other, but as a "smoker", its always wound me up how drinking is acceptable, yet people look down their noses at the evil "druggies", but hey, for another day.
 
Given this news I can't believe that the BBC used West Ham instead of Everton in their picture. Missed opportunity to do a bit of Everton bashing.

Sky did as well. It’s almost like the press don’t exclusively target us. West Ham fans must be furious at the clear bias against them…


The Guardian too!
