Betting advertising
Anyone else a bit uneasy about the current spate of advertising for bookmakers and gambling on the TV? I know it's mostly to do with the football but there are loads of bingo adverts as well
It can be a serious addiction and they seem to be ramming it down people's throats at the moment. I know that they only changed the rules a few years back so that they could advertise on TV but I think they should look again and ban the adverts. I know the same could be same with booze but the difference to me is gambling is easier than drinking what with phone/internet betting whereas if I wanted to drink I would have to walk to a shop/pub and it would sold to me by a 'reponsible' shopkeeper/barman (Ok, responsible is another debate, but I think you know what I mean). All these adverts seem to be normalising an activity which can bring misery to people's lives. I know this sounds a bit serious and is nothing about any religious beliefs or personal experiences, it just makes me feel uneasy. |

Re: Betting advertising
Agree its making it very easy fer young uns to get sucked into Gambling.
 Seems ironic to me,Fags are now hidden behind closed shutters/doors, Yet Gambling can also be really harmful.

Re: Betting advertising
I was a bingo addict at one time.
When I see the bingo ads I cringe to think that I was classified with the low life thickos that their ads depict and aim at. So, the ads are 'aversion therapy' for me
