RE: Paddy Power Sports Betting Firm. Controversial But Effective
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
The problem with the bookies' ads is that they are too effective. I watch A LOT of sport on Sky throughout the year and every ad break has at least 1 ad from these guys. I am the father of 2 young boys (6 & 1 years old) and they pay little to no attention to the TV when the sport is on but as soon as a bookmakers ad comes on they are transfixed! My eldest can already do a pretty good Ray Winston impression!

Yeah its a big problem in Uk and Ireland. The problem is not just the bookies. Its games like FIFA as well. 12 years olds Buying packs off the fathers credit card to get the best players . Its gerring scary
You don't realise how many facets of life actually incorporate gambling until you stop and think. Back when I was a kid, instead of FIFA it was football stickers - essentially that is priming kids for a life of buying scratch cards!
Speaking of gambling, check out my latest blog for a Premier League sweepstake
