It's quite refreshing to have someone as genuinely interesting, intelligent, well-travelled on a football messageboard of all things. We are lucky to have you.

A general observation observed by many. At least hes mixed it up this time. Its usually "Down my local....."

The U.K. will ban gambling companies from accepting credit cards for bets from April 14, as the government continues to tighten regulation of the industry.

Seems a good decision ?

---

A good decision re: credit card because they cant gamble whats not theirs, but plenty of people gamble without getting addicted so the government need to be careful how much they clamp down on the gambling industry.

Would people who enjoy a drink without being addicted like it if all sorts of restrictions were put on them just because some people are alcoholics?

And you’ve cracked it at last. Withdraw the cash from the hole in the wall for f*ck all, take said cash out with you, whether to the bookies, pub, club etc, leave card at home, when the cash is gone retire gracefully, having spent what you could afford, no temptation whatsoever to keep flashing the card which, as alluded to by other posters, may result in you having a rude awakening when next checking your balance. Even the most sensible of people can get carried away when they aren’t emptying their wallet of notes, credit and debit cards are faceless plastic and that’s exactly what the leeches who are bleeding people want.

I cracked it when I first read your post. Calm down.

I was just saying it's not that simple for everyone these days and gave examples, for some reason you didn't like that.

And the removal of the ease which cards can be used will help irresponsible people who can’t resist the temptation.

Blimey. Yes, YES , we know. WE KNOW.

Then there's the other side, and that's all I've highlighted.

Think that's us done now. Crikey.
