Title: Re: Children hooked on gambling Post by: Graham C on January 14, 2011, 12:54:47 PM Not going to read the article in full, but people getting addicted to gambling is something I've thought about recently. Years ago when tobacco was advertised in sport and on tele. It got banned because people were smoking and health risks etc. Now days,there's gambling advertised everywhere. I'm amazed nothings been mentioned on it before. Every footy match has "the latest odds" shown during half time, lots of other ads for betting sites, poker sites, casinos, they all do it on the tele at the moment. Hardly suprising people are ending up in debt.
I'd rather people had bad health from smoking than families ruined from gambling problems.

True of course..the sigh is at the Daily Mail article Title: Re: Children hooked on gambling Post by: Cf on January 14, 2011, 01:02:33 PM I only realised recently that kids are allowed on £5 jackpot fruit machines. They're even placed amongst other arcade games. Seems a bit odd... especially as these machines can take a lot/pay huge.
Title: Re: Children hooked on gambling Post by: Skgv on January 14, 2011, 03:10:19 PM think its a good thing to outlaaw credit card gambling, many friends of mine an also family have got into debit with this addcition even without the credit cards as soon as they get paid they log on to play poker an get further into debt. An if not poker they play online slots ! My dad even hid the internet cable from my mum as she got hooked! Serious problem ahead an banning them would make alot more better off long term.
