If you were to take all of the village idiots from all the villages, put them all into a village of their own, in that village full of village idiots, you would be the village idiot.
good one

Totally agree, it drives me crazy, Ch 7 do the same thing when commentating the tennis.
If it becomes any more prevalent than it already is I am pretty sure I will throw a stubbie through my tv screen one of these days.
i've said it before in the dragons forum.. gambling is a curse on the game.
not only does it ruin lives (yes, people can 'bet responsibly', but just spend 5 minutes with a gambling addict....) but it has the potential to put clouds over strange results..
what was once a marvelous comeback by a team could potentially be tainted that the opposition threw the game (i think i just coughed up a chicken feather)..
the more money at stake, the higher the risk of corruption..
the game would be better off without it.

like ive said b4, if they want 2 announce them as sponsors, go ahead. But we dont give two sh*ts about the betting odds all the wat thru the game over and over again. Say it once at the begining, thats it, enough of our time wasted on useless betters wasting their money away.
And the crapolla cross promos can piss right off.
Gambling does ruin lives. There's no doubt about it. But so does alcohol. Should we stop letting them advertise and serve drinks at games?
:lol:I think Clintdogg makes a good point. In the same regard, Clintdogg should be allowed to promote DJing as a music format on this forum, but he shouldn't be allowed to advertise or talk up Clintdawwwg himself.

bingo.
They are forcing you to consider placing bets and then say, bet responsibly.
If NSW Gaming practices were employed more strongly, they'd get into trouble for advertising/promoting gambling via media.
Clubs and pubs aren't allowed to do it, why should tv stations?
LOL...''forcing''
No theyre not.
I can watch footy, and see the odds broadcast for the live betting but Im in no way compelled or even feel the urge to think about or consider having a punt.
I do that when I look at the w/ends round, whos playing etc.
Its the same reason cigarettes are still sold, except they have the 'smoking is bad for you' on it.The thing that irritates me is that betting is all they talking about, then chime in " Bet responsibly...... "
Actually, its good to see the odds during the prime footy night on the footy show. Its helped me out a few, are you going to say that i can't be offered the privilege of watching the odds simply because you or the other people that don't bet don't like it? Thats called being selfish and a self-centered fat boy that indulges in too much choc cake.this is my original point.
while im watching the footy, I Dont want 2 see or hear these useless odds or bets that dont mean a thing to me. Those people that is does mean something too, can do it in their own time nite mine.
Meaning if successful, all games will be broadcast live due to weight of demand from bookies and punters.meaning if successful, all NRL games will take 4 hours to telecast because there will be 2 hours of ads to incorporate into the broadcast
