I consider you one of the best posters on TWTD.
Right up there with guthers, something, stokers, ry, rom, herbs...
To be honest it would be easier to nominate the sh.it. They know who they are. |
That's more sarcasm right?
...only joking! Aww Dollers, thank you. I think the same about you 
Getting a bit too feels in here. You knob. That's better. |  |

Is anyone here actually arguing for a ban on gambling or decimating the industry though? You seem to agree that there are lots of problems with the industry, as does Rommers, and there's broadly consensus on that. I have seen people suggesting tighter regulation, particularly in relation to FOBTs, and better support for problem gamblers. Again, not sure there's much disagreement on that either.
People will always have a pop at the industry because, let's be honest, it's mucky AF. It's not alone in that but it is an industry that profits off people's misery, that has historically lobbied hard to protect its ability to do so, and that rigs the game so it always wins, not just through FOBTs but also through restricting the capacity of those who can beat the system to actually do so.
As it's an industry you and some others are close to and profit from I can see why attacks on the industry might feel personal, but take a step back and surely you can see why people see it as problematic, and when you unpick what those problems are you seem to broadly agree. |
Most of the gaming industry's profits come from "problem gamblers" or those with addictive personalities. The gaming companies pay lip service to the rules, but Ray Winstone barking "Gamble responsibly!" isn't going to deter the addicted punter. Football's willing association with gambling is purely down to greed. If the FA had an ounce of moral responsibility, they would ban all gaming sponsors (only shirt fronts to be banned eventually) & forbid "official betting partners". |  |

When I joined TWTD I wasn't argumentative. This place made me. |  |

My apologies.
I don't think we have ever been referred to as the good guys in the debate!
Not sure we have ever had a reaction like that.
Sorry again. |
Yeah, we're so used to only slings, arrows & mudpies in these threads, maybe you were in shock?! |  |

"This place made me. "
Now there's a very scary thought. |  |

Is this where Gav appears with an ominous smile to tell us we're not real, just characters in 'The TWTD Show'?  | |

It’s been 10 years of the Sky Bet sponsorship aswell, so that’s another reason as to why. |  |
