Before , during and after football games !

The Remote Gambling Association (RGA), which includes Bet365, Ladbrokes and Paddy Power, has struck a deal to stop adverts during live sports broadcasts.
It follows political pressure about the amount of betting advertising on TV.
More than 90 minutes of adverts were shown during the football World Cup and anti-gambling campaigners say sport's use of adverts "normalises" betting.
There are also fears it contributes to the rise in the amount of problem gamblers - with a Gambling Commission report suggesting 430,000 Britons can be described as such - and helps fuel under-age gambling.
The deal follows extensive talks between firms - also including SkyBet, Betfred, Betfair, Stan James, Gala Coral and William Hill - to ensure no adverts will be broadcast for a defined period before and after a game is broadcast..

The proposal is similar to those made by the Labour party and, importantly, will include any game that starts prior to the 9pm watershed but ends after that time.
The RGA has previously said it was "very mindful of public concerns".
Horse racing will be exempt from the restrictions - given the commercial importance of gambling on its viability - but all other sports will be included.
However, it is the impact on football where the ban will be felt the most, especially given the financial value of the sport to both the gambling companies and broadcasters.
Nearly 60% of clubs in England's top two divisions have gambling companies as shirt sponsors.
Final ratification is needed from the Industry Group for Responsible Gambling (IGRG) before the ban comes into force.
That should be a formality, according to industry insiders, and could come as early as this month or in early 2019.

Sure all the shytehawks that feature will find more unsavoury free money opportunities these types always do.
Just read on HR forum this doesn't apply to racing what a surprise.
They purport to want to take bets on Horse Racing but restrict almost immediately if you aren't a gambling addict,in the game,protected racing media,celebrity or sportsperson.
Racing is a loss leader for casino/games free money,the reason those in the game haven't tumbled and swallowed the lie that nobody's interested in betting on the game is because they aren't subjected to the same treatment as those outside the sport who aren't clueless.
Just been doing a winter clean of old accounts making sure they're closed had 3 that went after 1 winner biggest concern is all the sensitive info that's been sent to retrieve the money this year,any half decent hacker would have a field day I'd imagine.

Deregulation (1995, iirc) was the start of all this, add the GC (2007) and between these 2 occurrences Peter Savile's work in making Horse Racing an expensive product, and see that independent bookies have been priced out of the betting industry. In turn making betting a bit corporate.
Add in the load of marketers and ex-students running the bigger firms, then the online and lower cost operations in Malta, Alderney, Gibraltar etc,
and the result is what we now have;
Too much racing, too few horses (open to dodgy dealings)
Greedy Betting firms (want "as many events as possible" aim for 1 a minute)
No bets of any size being taken (markets no longer driven by bets, more by BF)
People betting on everything (Not just Horses as it once was)
Not much televising/media coverage of racing (all sports carry betting news now - thanks in part to the advertising)
More problem gambling than ever before (mostly FOBTs, but figures welcomed by the GC as it keeps them in wages)
Much of what's wrong could be undone and improved. Getting rid of some ads is a start (not enough though) and at least it will make the world a tiny bit less irritating.

Can't disagree with that STUDY would add on something which is the most annoying and wrong which is ridiculous betting restrictions to those not involved in the sport especially.
The main reason I joined the BF forum was to highlight this so had many long criticisms on the HR forum in the first few months on here to no avail the sport as it was is damaged in my eyes to the point where I don't watch anything to do with it other than replays for form purposes and don't go racing anymore.

It's all about marketing and selling "products" Denzil.
Racecourses (now parts of big chains) are mostly interested in selling beer and after-racing concerts, and using their land for weddings and functions. So the racing is less important and the on-course bookies struggle as they're priced out of business, with the courses charging them so much.
The big betting firms are also very demanding (as I mentioned earlier), and they want more and more racing. The courses want their money so they oblige and as a consequence the whole industry is diluted.

Should exempt greyhound racing as well, the same applied
Personally I would deregulate the lot
We need liquidity to have any chance gambling, so the more the merrier in my opinion

The problem is that these ads aren't enticing mugs into the markets where we want to see them - e.g. the plain, old-fashioned match odds markets.
Instead, they're being encouraged to bet on things like the name of the next goalscorer with a 140% overround.
That's no use to me.

screaming is right about those football bets highlighting their blatant methodology of free money from muggy gamblers get them onto bad bets then casino and milk them,all in the name of entertainment - when the fun stops stop that itself tells you the type they target yet want to back a horse at a price goodbye.
