They are all absolutely horrendous -

- aimed at a 'dumbed-down' audience - whose only 'skill' is that they know which way up to hold a Mobile.

They will be gone once the paedo hysteria has died down and the papers need to write up on the FOBTs destroying homes and bookies on every corner of impoverished areas etcetcetc

The bookies have gone about it COMPLETELY the wrong way...they are trying to dress it up as the jovial 'come and hav a bet lads its all fun and games LOOK theres chris kamaras ass on show he loves it its all a bit of craic'

The bookies have desperately tried to veil their guilt on trying to attract and create problematic gamblers to the table by making it idiot friendly and full of banter'

BALLS i say.... the truth will out and then the idiotic bookmaker adverts will be pulled because its absolutely reeks of deceit.

Why couldnt they take a more serious or sophisticated approach?

Serious and sophisticated punters are not allowed to bet.

They are just trawling for the stupid, the lazy and the not the bright - the dumber the better...

Yeah totally agree Millhouse

What makes it worse is that bookmakers are being so f*cking blatant about trying to attract the idiot hordes who will drive themselves into blameless poverty.

WHO will then put the dough into the high street FOBTs and football multiples?

Bookies are just trying to grab and secure AS MUCH cash as quickly as possible before the gun is turned on them.

Shameless ...

SURELY they could ensure a future with nationwide gambling by genuinely making an attempt to act responsible and promote a safer gambling environment rather than trying to bury people with a double digit IQ creating mass negative ripple effects in society by directing their downfall?
