The 'people on here' who like a bet are constantly accused of having gambling problems. It's just something you lot come out with to get a pat on the back from others who don't like it. We've had people on here in the past who couldn't go a day without mentioning their alcohol intake. How many people questioned them? How many gambling threads do you see on here? One a week on average, if that.
Most of the known people on here who like a bet fully support a vast crackdown on the gambling industry. FOBTs are the worst and they've been targeted (but the laws don't go far enough IMO). Sports are also a big issue. What he says about following the sun is a common thing. Chopra spoke of betting on matches in Brazil.
I'm all for tighter restrictions on gambling sponsors and tv advertising. |  |

Should do what F1 did with tobacco sponsorship and ban betting companies being involved in football.
When I used to have a ST, a whole group around me used to spend the match on their phones checking the scores across the country to see if any of their accumulators came in. They might as well have sat at home with Soccer Saturday on. |  | | |

As you say, this faux 'concern' for complete strangers is just cover for a cheap dig.
People would do better for minding their own business sometimes. |  |

I am a recovering gambling addict. I can say 1st hand what gambling has done for me and my family. It almost destroyed everything I ever worked for. It changed me, i was out of control, the addiction was so strong I spent every minute of everyday on my phone. The ease of online gambling and thinking these massive figures I was gambling wasn't real as you don't see the actual money just figures. I went from a person doing a few quid on accumilators to £10k at a time bets. If anyone wants to know the danger of gambling then you found the right person. |  |

Respect for continuing to recover from your addiction. I am not denying that gambling is dangerous. I am simply tired of having to defend people who like a bet on here because we're an easy target.
People need to understand that many people can enjoy a bet as they enjoy a pint. Safely and in moderation. The attitude on here is anyone who likes a bet is clearly an addict in denial. If you say anything in your defence it just adds to the people saying you have an issue.
Again i'll say we all support much tighter restrictions on the gambling industry.
Hope you continue to make progress. | |

I hate that 'maybe I hit a nerve' line.
Again, usually aimed at a complete stranger among some random information. You could literally just chuck that into anything.
Not to mention it's pissed me off because I have actually developed a toothache over the past week and it's driving me crazy.
I never buy Sensodyne but it was on offer so I got a couple of tubes. Since I started using it, one of my teeth is murdering me. | |

It's straight out of the playbook for previous threads on this subject. If you don't reply it's because you know deep down you have a problem. If you do reply you are protesting too much and they've hit a nerve.
Oh well.
Hope your tooth feels better. Stop using the bloody Sensodyne! | |

I need to buy some different toothpaste tomorrow.
I wouldn't mind but I dislike the adverts for it and normally refuse to buy products whose adverts annoy me.
Though I hate most TV ads though which can make shopping difficult sometimes.
I really really really really really really really really really really really really fecking really really really really wish some of them would go away. | |

There only seems to be around half a dozen adverts on tv at the moment.
It's the same few over and again.
That fecking Asda one, which I actually can't watch cos it gives me the hump, oh and bloody Schofield.
The Lloyds one seems pointless to me, how many ways can they think of incorporating a running horse into these ads? *
*and no Gordon, I know they are not selling horses. | |

Please don't worry on my account, I can assure you that I can afford to lose the £1 to £10 or so I've been gambling on the horses every Saturday for the past 13 years. Have stopped now actually, as racing just isn't the same for me without the crowds and atmosphere.
I can assure you many of us gamblers would like to see adverts for bookmakers/ betting at football & other sports events banned completely, since people (including kids) can't avoid seeing them. The moving pitch perimeter ones are particularly intrusive. | |

I completely agree i have nothing against people who like a bet and can control it, wish as a compulsive gambler could be the same. If you have an addictive personality like myself it is very dangerous. The bookies are scum they prey on compulsive gamblers with setting you up a VIP account and account manager, if haven't bet for few days they give you 'free bets'. | |

Bookies prey on everybody - they restrict the accounts so much of those who consistently win, even on a small scale, that it's hardly worth their while betting - allowed just a few pence each way. That's why the exchanges were set up.
You make some excellent points, particularly re "addictive" and "non-addictive" personalities. Feel for you being in the first group, that's unlucky, must be ennervating being constantly challenged/in stress. Some are just lucky to be "non-addictive" - even in my teens /early 20s I was able to smoke a cig or two sometimes for a few days or weeks, then not be fussed re leaving it.
Kudos to you for keeping away from it. | |

You've probably tried regular rinsing round with a very strong salt water solution, but just in case you hadn't ... often works for infections & even abcesses. | |

The bookies are scum, I absolutely agree. I've been restricted with the vast majority, banned from offers from most and a few have come to a 'trading decision' to close my account while refusing to tell me why. I believe my name is on some sort of internal list as well as about half of the accounts I try and open with new bookies these days I get instantly banned from using their site.
Their whole business model is corrupt and the rules of the game are rigged. | |
