Whilst I think anyone should be allowed to basically say anything on here I would like to say that the constant references to gambling odds bothers me a great deal.it serves to legitimise a remorselessly destructive industry,particularly in its online form.the big gambling companies are up there with big tobacco and big alcohol,they are a cancer on society generally but particularly in sport.they have irretrievably taken over virtually all sport and commercialised it beyond recognition.apologies if a little negative on a Saturday morning but I felt it had to be said
I see it as just a bit of fun. I could easily say discussion of travel arrangement legitimise unnecessary travelling destroying the planet, however I actually do believe anyone should be able to say anything they like here, if you don't like, it don't read it and give others the same choice is the way I look at it. Hence I have never had a problem with what anyone has said on a forum ever.
Gambling is already legal anyway. Discussion of the odds here is merely an aside and is far better than being down the bookies on a fixed odds terminal, something which really is a problem, and if you are driving people down there you are not helping anyone. That is how I see it anyway, just harmless discussion.
