This issue aside I think this country does need to look more at how pervasive gambling actually is here. Especially in sport. When you watch football it's almost every television advert, it's on the banners in the stadium, it's on the shirts of quite a few teams, it's even the stadium name for some of them and the biggest broadcaster of football games also has their own gambling services for which odds are shown during the broadcast (I think).

You go the highstreet and slowly each shop will be replaced by either a betting shop or a coffee shop. You pick up a newspaper and several adverts for betting in there too or a new mobile phone (from which you can bet in-play and right now!). It's crazy.
