The hypocrisy from them is quite staggering...they had a call in a while back on Jim Whites show where gambling addicts were calling in and telling their tales, people who’d lost everything due to it...punctuated with ad-breaks littered with betting companies.This is something that's always bothered me and I guess this thread is a good place as any to mention it.
I started listening to talk sport in the mornings on my commute to work and I can't remember a single day (when Alan Brazil) is on that he does not mention drinking or gambling. That sound he makes (pulling is finger on the side of his mouth, making a popping sound) when he's referring to champagne is just cringe worthy and he's always taking about putting bets on.
The point is, there is much more that can be done to assist some people from taking this path or even those trying to get out of it
I no longer listen to that shite station, which is a shame as he used to have some good guests on there
It would be funny if it wasn’t so fucking sad.
