A business that preys on peoples addictions taking the moral high ground – pathetic

Agreed. I know for a fact that this particular shower have a policy of closing any telebetting accounts that run a consistent profit.
I think most people know that gambling is a mug’s game, even serial punters. No-one who bets frequently ends up quids in except for the few with really good insider information that they can farm out to their mates to stick on cash bets, and even then it can go belly up. Even the occasional person you hear winning ten grand on a silly accumulator will probably have lost that much before, or will loose it in the future. You never hear about the slips they’ve torn up.

Only relatively high ground compared to the Paddy Power billboard, not a high bar to clear….

It’s smart brand management by Boyle Sports part.
That whole sentence made me throw up in my mouth a little.
or does it just say they’re tagging along – next to nobody will see this compared to PP’s ad. It firmly plants boyle’s as an at best tag along brand.
This “ad” relies on people thinking of PP first.
Paddy Power though… SOME people. Cheap and nasty company.
Works for Ryanair!
