Bet that family member felt stupid losing 10k

Absolutely right. Aturridge likely just told a close family member that he might be moving to Italy, which is obviously a big decision in his life and one he might want to talk to family about, and one of them has stuck a bet on it.

How rich are these fackers?

I hate betting companies.

The fact that Sky Sports News pump out fake transfer rumours with the old favourite "Sky Sources" and then they advertise odds for these players to move to these teams on Sky Bet.

How is that anything other than a con?!

On the Sunday Supplement on Sky, it was claimed that of the adverts played during the course of a PL game, 95% of them are for betting, online or otherwise. Good luck to them that bet; for me it's a mugs game.

Any time Ray farking Winstone pops up with pwoppa nowty odds it makes me want to dissolve my own head

Jimmy,
I bet that Sky has got this wrong!

Its a primitive view about betting.

People who think they can bet their way to magnificent riches are the ones who end up disappointed and feeling mugged.

Betting is like a pint.

You do it for enjoyment but too much or more than you should is bad for you, same goes for everything else actually. It can be addictive, like anything else.

However, that doesn't make it a bad thing. Most people bet what you would normally spend on a pint or two and it provides a thrill, spices up the game no end and the possibility of making money while enjoying all that.

I placed a small bet on a City win because I wanted United to win or draw. When City won I made a few quid which was a little consolation and a good laugh.

Ultimately, most indulgences are neither good nor bad. It depends on you so it isn't about the game, its about the player.

The day I hear about a poverty-stricken bookie is the day I start gambling. Hell will freeze over first.

Its not the bookies fault that people are dumb.

Bet365 bint awarded herself a salary of 265m.

Utterly obscene.

The lady in question will be undoubtedly disappointed that the news of her salary has gone public.


If she's paying herself that much, how's she gonna feel when the taxman comes calling? She should be paying circa £104M p.a. Tax, at least. And what about the company? They're gonna be in a difficult place trying to convinceHM R &C that honest, they haven't made a bean!
