Happy Friday afternoon! As you may have seen today, Paddy Power have created a bit of mischief around the Six Nations clash this weekend.

I hate Paddy Power. Is he’s not trying to get down with the kids, he’s got a team of puppets drumming up laddish ideas to squeeze every last penny from the most vulnerable.
what Charlie said
What Janet, I ate my avatar agrees with.
I’d not be making that statement in the real world Pee Pee, it’s complicated.
Fine.
hahaha :)
I hate them as well, but to be fair, that is top quality trolling.
Comes across as unpleasant and nasty, really.
Ooh a fan club!
You should charge a membership fee.
Noooo they took my fans!
that’s because you are humourless
Agreed. It is a predatory and exploitative industry. The lack of any kind of effective regulation in this country is a disgrace and speaks volumes about the spineless policy makers in power.
not as funny as they think they are
They don’t squeeze money off anyone. So long as people have an appetite for making money the easy way, not the hard way – Paddy Power and its ilk will exist.
Tell that to the 13 year olds that bet online because PP sells gambling like it’s sexy. And tell it to the 100s of thousands of those in the lower income group who like a pint. It’s no coincidence that there’s regularly a bookies within throwing distance of a pub. PP are the slimey leeches that prey on these people and sell them false hope.
And their bad side is?
Really? They’ve been fined for exploiting vulnerable players while restricting usage for successful ones. https://www.irishtimes.com/business/retail-and-services/paddy-power-fined-2-2m-in-uk-for-inaction-on-problem-gamblers-1.3665215
but isn’t £2.2 million just ‘slap on the wrist’ stuff to a company that makes £480 million in profit a year? It’s not going to address an endemic problem
So they ban the winners? What a shower of c%\|s
I hope their “Passport office” gets shut down immediately. They’d love the publicity though.
I hate rugby. Hope they get hammered. Rory Best is an out and out pastard for going to that rape trial.
The trial where no one was convicted of rape?
Weren’t convicted, no.
Rory Best’s presence probably helped with that outcome. Love their rugby up there.
Careful about commenting about Paddy Power, as we know, they study your online profile and behaviour. Anything to weed out those pesky punters who have winning form.
“Paddy Power Betfair is using confidentiality agreements to halt investigations into its treatment of problem gamblers and other customers who claim that the bookmaker is breaching their privacy rights, The Times can reveal.”

Pretty sure Paddy Power is hedging its own bets on March 29th coming and going without change.
Outrage!!!!!
*sips flirtini*
Seriously though, PP are a bunch of slags. And I don’t mean that in the nice way.
Would you like to expand on when or where within your world view ‘a bunch of slags’ is a compliment?
Just askin sista.
It is my favourite term of endearment for my pals. Yeeeew gorgeous slaaaaaaaag ;)
Seen on Reddit a short while ago, in the same vein. This time apparently taken out in the UK version of The Sun and The Star: Inflammatory much?
