Emster23 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 A good number of EPL teams are sponsored by online betting, and hoardings also attempt to lure in bettors ("first 5 pounds free!"). Why is this crackdown such a high priority compared to all the scams, robberies, domestic violence, road carnage, etc etc. ? Easy pickings I would guess.

balo Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I also placed bets this week on Premier League matches but I did it safely in front of my laptop. With all the online options available today its strange they carry on with this type of gambling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
