Also from a philosophical perspective, what a 22 carat tosser you really are Glen.

Haha, what part of my philosophy is bad

Saving dumbass punters from themselves or saving dumbass punters from themselves ?

Lemme know and confirm if you're a 'have' or a dumbass punter like me

What about people who buy cars that depreciate 30% as soon as they leave the showroom, or hair growth cream, or £400 trainers?

Alcohol & fags?


Priority boarding?


Are we banning those too?

I'd definitely prohibit the sale of hair growth cream. My fine head of hair is one of my USPs. Most of the above involve some exchange of value.

A better analogy would be to ask if we should prohibit scam selling of financial investments to people with mental health issues.

Plenty of things are prohibited and we all draw our line somewhere on whether we think that is a good or bad thing. I'd draw my line on gambling the other side of where the line is today. It's not that extreme a perspective

You said a blanket ban, you're backpedaling already.

Back-pedalling?

You said a blanket ban, you're back peddling already.

Scam selling of financial investments to anyone (including those with mental health issues) is illegal, so no back pedaling here.

Also Tom, reading and not putting words in people's mouths is one of your strong points:

'As far as possible'

'Some exceptions'

'Hurdles much higher'

Not seeing 'blanket ban' in my post.

[nirvana]

Haha , pointedly spelt pedaling correctly to see you've now corrected :-)

Glen, you are so erudite that everything you write sounds like it's gospel, but sometimes it's just well presented bollocks.

Well, the odd exchange like this does invigorate and entertain (me) and bollocks or not it's still my perspective, very happy for people not to share it.

Well you've already reduced me to obscenity rather than rebuttal.

I'm going back to re-read what you said before I comment further. We don't need two of us making me look daft.

Ok. It's the "As far as possible" bit that lets you down.

It is of course possible to make all forms of gambling totally illegal. (Apart from the kind you enjoy obv) Is that what you are advocating?

If it was a binary choice id choose to prohibit all gambling.

Cant imagine that ever happening so very happy to see regulation that puts more hurdles in peoples way and gradually regulate it out of existence, like smoking.

So what about playing the stock market, raffles, pensioners playing pinochle, whist and euchre for pennies, £1ew once a year on the Grand National... ?

I obv wrote to my local MP regarding this issue and stated similar that i make a living in the very skilled world of sports betting which under these new rules could effectively be stopped whilst i could easily punt off 6 figures on the stock market or bitcoin with no regulation at all.  #whitecollargamblingisfine
