Personally, I don't want you, the government or anyone else telling me if I can gamble and what I can gamble.

So why read the thread then, if you can do what you want.I doesn’t apply to you. Good.

Thought I’d call out a bloke who, in your words, ‘had a problem’ with gambling, thinks it’s a good idea to encourage others to do it.

It's in my blood horseracing but I limit it to the NH season proper October to the following April. Flat racing at the top level It's like premiership football crazy prize money for basically animals racing against each other.

2014 something had to go if was going have a decent standing of living later on in life & it was gambling on the horses. Since then I've never had a gambling account or been in a bookies. Had odd bet that someone with an account put on for me I'd say less than 10 bets in 10 years.

Regardless of anything else you may post from time to time, good for you for realising you had a problem and doing something about it.

howdy do you honestly believe that gru could encourage people on here to gamble. **** Pop into town early & have a look in the bookies at all the dole men spending their hard earned dole money, gru worked for a living & bets with his own money not state hand outs. Stop being a bully howdy you are better than that.

More name tags. A bully now. FFS. Grow up.

He posted, Lump on? How’s that not encouraging people to gamble? How do you know how regular posters, who might have a gambling problem, might react to that.

I can only think you know the guy. The guy that said we need govt intervention.

So you’re after a dig at me or you’re missing the point.

You can do better.

🍿 Popcorn anyone?

Lump on it's only a gambling term born from confidence from me from the tip I've given. I doubt hardly anyone on here will be interested in the odds of 8-15 it's showing! I've virtually packed up giving tips on here in case anyone places money on them I don't want to lose anyone money.
