I am not a betting man. It saddens me that the internet seemingly has drawn more people into betting and its addictive nature. I am not a killjoy and acknowledge that many can bet “sensibly”. Many cannot and I would prefer that the club were not part of the betting world, normalising it and projecting it as an attractive, fun thing to do.
The Church is against all gambling of any kind, including lotteries (see Handbook 2: Administering the Church [2007], 21.1.19). The reason we’re counselled not to waste our time and money on it is simple: “Gambling is wrong. … It is addictive and can lead to lost opportunities, ruined lives, and broken families. It is false to believe that you can get something for nothing” (For the Strength of Youth [2011], 41).

Until you find yourselves back in the EPL and skint and W88 wave a big, fat cheque. Hypocrites.
