JF 694 Posted July 2, 2019 1 minute ago, hogesar said: They might make a casual like me have a flutter. Do they make problem gamblers gamble more or are they already gambling? If they are addicted then they are already gambling, the ads won’t matter. If they know they have a problem and want to face it they can self exclude themselves but obviously that won’t stop them going to a street bookie. The tv ads are likely targeting the casual gambler to have a punt on the match they are watching Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bonzo 198 Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) What a great opportunity for the keyboard SJWs to virtue signal. Many have taken the chance to showcase their moral superiority. Virtue signalling will eventually become passé once people realise that those who do it are doing so for somewhat narcissistic motives i.e. to show the rest of us the enormity of their moral superiority. But until then feel free to cut loose on the evils of gambling or whatever else it happens to be. In the old days virtue was silent. It was made up of deeds not words. Somewhat different to this nasty and rather vain modern habit of being so easily offended in order to claim the moral high ground.
