Steve How Hard? Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I'm led to believe that there is a distinct possibility that this could be emblazoned upon the forthcoming seasons shirts. kevinhectoring and uttoxram75 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance. Dave would have to cut mine and Boycies wages to afford that sort of sponsorship. Oh, wait a min, Boycies just messaged me summat about opposing fire and rehire practices.....?

G STAR RAM Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Has anyone ever started gambling on the back of seeing a betting company sponsoring a football team? I mean really? Dont think is anything to do with morality, Preston spat the dummy because we got the star player (or whatever it was called) deal didnt they?

I mean really? You’ve got a point. Though I think the in play advertising causes many people to bet too much But as others say above, the sector needs much more regulation. All this sponsorship and advertising means the betting companies have clubs, media, players, pundits etc in their pockets. The whole sports industry has a vested interest in sports betting being successful. I reckon that largely explains why the politicians don’t want to get tough.

I mean really? The liberalisation in general and the football advertising in particular has totally normalised betting in this country. You cannot watch sport without a betting ad showing the lads having a punt and some bantz over their bets or some other fun message about what a great social activity it is. That has made a massive difference. Betting used to be treated like hard liquor. Then it went the other way, as though it's no more harmful than shandy. See it everywhere, get it anywhere, fun for all the family. IslandExile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What really annoys me (as much as the actual harm gambling can cause) is the 'tightening' link with sport, the constant suggestion that football/sport can't be fun or exciting unless you bet money on it.
