Do gambling institutions have a duty of care to their customers as other vendors do?
Should gambling firms sponsor football OR any sport they make money from?

I don't think sports like snooker etc have any alternative but to use them as sponsors, football clubs do have a choice tho, especially the tops clubs. Just greed i'm afraid. |  |

& apart from them not honouring their obligatons it does open the door for the sort of problems cricket has had to face | | | |

With so many teams sponsored by betting companies and the advertising boards pitch side at games showing an almost constant stream of betting company adverts, I doubt much attention will be given to this claim. Betting companies must make many millions from football betting to make this level of advertising worth while. |  | | |

And to the best of my knowledge English football opens itself up to gambling corruption in a big way. I heard a report on the radio a while ago that said one person allocates a referee to a game and it is often the case that referees allow lino's to make very limited decisions, on many occasions the referee will dictate everything on the pitch. We often see at PR a referee overruling a lino when he is in a much worse position that the lino to see what actually happened. This makes it easy for a potential bribe to two officials to influence a game. Apologies if this info is out of date or incorrect now. | | | |

I agree with you, I often watch highlights with the thought "who is paying him' because some things that happen a so blatantly wrong they can't be normal errors | | | |

I believe that is still the case. It's down to the ref to discuss with linos who will take the lead in certain situations. Some refs ask the linos to follow their lead on anything other than offsides, others are much more hands off and leave calls on thrown ins and free kicks to the lino. I think.
We've a resident ref or two on TWTD who would be able to confirm. |  |

Do you ever get the feeling the TV channels want ref's to make silly errors so as to give the pundits hours of arguing time? | | | |

Isn’t it the responsibility of the government to educate its people on the ills of gambling, and then these firms would go out of business ?! |  | | |
