Amazed the regulator permits this.

£375K investment in a party for contracts in which they personally received £5.2m for.

Decent profit earned from the vulnerability of their actions. Scum.

It will all come to head this in the future and we will look back and think how did we let this happen. Its like milking cows for the gambling industry sponsor games,teams,cups,pundits and stadiums. Its either ray winstone, kammy, mourinho or jeff stelling stalking you before during and after games with the adverts. Penetrated into all corners of the game and probably too big to control. Personally i dont gamble but having tried to get a few friends to realise theyre pissing in the wind i cant imagine what it must take to rehabilitate someone whos addicted.

People have an inherent interest in gambling
