Gambling in Sport

Further detail on the Tonali case. Turns out it was a betting ring involving other players and a jeweller effectively acting as a clearing house to get debts settled.

It's not in the article below but I hearf elsewhere that some players could get their debt reduced if they introduced other high-rollers into the betting ring. Murky stuff.

I saw that. Bookies are scumbags really. There is gambling advertising all around us with so called ‘free bets’ offered which is a total scam. It’s about time these companies were regulated back to the Stone Age.

I'd like to see the industry wiped off the face of the earth. Thing is, that would in turn wipe horse racing, which I've always loved off the same face.....

And I don't care if people say, oh but I enjoy a bet from time to time. Fuck it, a sick industry.

I’d gladly see horse racing wiped with it. It’s an industry that wouldn’t exist without gambling.

Unfortunately the bookies are with in their rights to wait the outcome of the IHRB investigation( which seems to be dragging)

...and an underground version would be a hell of a lot better?

I get you're probably talking in total hypotheticals but the demand for gambling will always exist.

Spoken by a man who judging by your some of your posts enjoys a drink from time to time, do you not think that is a bit hypocritical or would you also like to see the drinks industry wiped off the face of the earth?

Yeah it's a disgusting industry built on the backs of the poor by and large . Can't understand how they are getting away with so little regulation, well I can really, lots of bungs being paid out no doubt.
