the great cull of internet punters

Not defending it I stress but was that not largely the case pre-exchanges anyway...on course Horse Racing the exception..

in terms of internet punters specifically it was always the case..

Except bookies wanted to ban winners

Government want to stop losers.

indeed...so that's probably not the worst idea..

if it was a fair environment where bookies hadn't taken the pi$$ with over rounds, over promoted no skill betting (slots, virtual slots etc) and not banned virtually everyone that could turn even a modest long term profit...we maybe wouldn't be at this point and I'd feel differently as someone that is pro choice and pro personal responsibility..

Government want to stop losers.

It's all driven by activists that want to stop gambling.

if that's the case tobermory, why just sports gambling ?

I don't understand who that table is restricting Tobe , what does it mean

who is depositing that kind of money ?

They are sh yte Brent , fine for toilet business if caught short while out

'tis their best use indeed Sir.

are all propped by massive income from FOBT

The bookies used to mostly sell mary jane, many enjoyed it regularly, and most of the country might have a puff of it on the grand national.


Then the bookies found they could sell crack in the form of FOBT's

should have stuck to soft drugs...less related deaths..

So going by the final stage , if you had 3 lots of £ 1000 on the premier league outright over 3 days that is it for 90 days .
