Why do they spend millions of pounds on advertising if it has no effect then?Myself, looking for a new site to join with a signup bonus. Not because an advert or football kit sponsorship told me too...

Correct. Bollocks to common sense or morality. Let's set up an advertising agency for Nazis and drug dealers. Think of the money we will make.Every business advertises to make themselves known. They don't force anyone to give them custom...
It is though. It's hours later and you still haven't acknowledged any of the truths that make your position ridiculous; most basic being that gambling addiction ruins lives and that footy advertising successfully targets vulnerable markets.
If you're aware that stopping drinks marketing has reduced that life-ruining addiction, which is well evidenced, then you should have put forward a reason why you think that ban is wrong (you haven't) or explained why you think a gambling ban is any different (you haven't).
All you've done is claim you're impervious to marketing, which is impressive if 100% accurate, but insanely unlikely if you're a human.
I have. I hadn't heard of them until they sponsored us. I've self excluded from so many gambling sites that hearing of a new one was just the trigger I needed to sign up.
I've since self excluded from the dafabet account.
Nearly all sports were played before TV, I see your argument but you could use the same one for any tv or film production...advertisements all overI'm a bit jaundiced to the whole situation but I've come to the conclusion that sport only exists as a vehicle for generating income through advertising for the broadcaster and gambling companies.
Jesus i've just opened a betting account... wonder why that happened.
Probably the same reason im eating this Big Mac.
I am so weak minded.

Bugger the morality.
Would you by any chance be a Capitalist?
UKIPer alert - you enjoying 'aving your country back?I'd bet my house Softcock Corbyn would make another u-turn at the first whiff of power.
Betting doesn't you scerosis of the liver, or lung cancer!As bad for your health as tabs and booze.

You enjoying turning a blind eye to Amazon and Starbucks paying next to no tax while we focus on cutting disability benefits and hounding out hardworking Polish chicken factory workers... you having fun watching none of that really impacting your life but enjoying it all the same?
Straight out of wiki, but what a depressing read this isNearly all sports were played before TV, I see your argument but you could use the same one for any tv or film production...advertisements all over
Thats because you have loads of spare money now that you've stopped Investing in AfricaShit.... I must have those adidas trainers on that casual classics advert.... ARRRRRRGH!

You've just done exactly what I've mentioned you doing, again, in response to me pointing out you keep doing it. You're completely oblivious to the fact that football shirt sponsorship does directly lead to life-ruining addiction, because it entirely ruins your point.And that's come about recently?I have merely said that targeting shirt sponsorships is not going to help solve the problem.
As far s drinking is concerned... would you not agree that pricing has probably had a huge impact and the fact we are living through hard financial times, in which most people on low to middle incomes have had to cut their cloth accordingly. I know I have. I only get so much spending money a month, so I'm not going to piss it all up the wall.
If I want something that bad, I go and look for it myself, I don't give a shiny shite what advertisements are put in front of me.
It's the fundamental question that you are unable to answer. It undermines your entire argument.

Instead, you again go back to talking about yourself, which was never the issue in the first place, but since we're on it; you're f***ing deluded if you think advertising doesn't affect you. But that's part of why they're so effective so I don't feel badly towards you for that.
It may not be a solution - same as with cigarettes etc. If they truly wanted to stop smoking they could ban them or regulate them through pharmacy only sales or something like that.My argument is that politicians are wading with a solution to solve a problem, that will not solve a problem, which is only a problem for a minority of the countries population. Why lay the blame at football clubs shirt sponsorship deals.

However, despite it not being a solution it's hard to argue that stopping advertising them via sports is anything other than a positive step.
Same with gambling why would anyone be against rules that seek to limit exposure to gambling.
You mentioned me, talking about me, on my post, when I posted it...
How does a football shirt alone cause a UK wide gambling epidemic? You're missing my point.
It alone doesn't. Is it a major factor? Yes. Personally I literally would never have heard of Dafabet still if they weren't a football sponsor. Same way I knew Chang before I ever went to Thailand. The clearest indication of how effective it is is the sheer money being thrown at it; millions per club per season, and I bet you can name at least 5 clubs sponsored by betting companies, if not more. We had the f***ing Dafabet cup ffs.
It's obviously not the only source of gambling advertising, but it is a huge one. That's why it's a headline in an article you've read. I'd be amazed if Corbyn didn't want stricter advertising guidelines across the board where addiction is concerned - I like that, you probably hate it, but that's a different conversation entirely. Football is huge in this country, I'm not going to do your reading for you but the numbers are all out there plain to see, that's why they're discussing it.
Yep fair do's, no beef. (Corbyn's still a don mind)I honestly couldn't and that's the truth, that's how much interest I take in shirt sponsors.
However, see my last post.
