On their phone betting apps
On some social media garbage. It's all about the likes.
My 18 suddenly started doing multies on the football . I don’t gamble , never talk about it. What ever they have been doing has worked.

It is more and more noticeable. Talking to mates from the UK they think it’s abhorrent how our national sport and its media has sold its soul to the gambling industry.

The Liberal party is full of shady pricks who get kickbacks from the gambling industry, so no chance.

But if it did you have no problem with playschool at 3pm inserting a scene where noni and the guy from wolf creek bang each other?
Yes that's comparable with putting on a bet.

But it's not up to the censors, isn't it all up to the parents to educate the kid?

Your mates sound a bit clueless then.
8 Premier League Clubs have Gambling Business sponsors as their main shirt sponsor.
How many AFL clubs have one for their major sponsor?
Also for people saying "it is the parents responsibility to teach their kids" that is all well and good but kids learn a huge amount from sources other than their parents. They learn about the world just by being in society, going to the supermarket with their parents, watching TV, spending time with friends at school. Kids get socialised in society in ways that we don't even know.
An example a professor at university used when I was there was when she was fixing some pipes under her sink because one of them was leaking, and her 4 year old son came up to her confused and asked her why she was doing that since fixing pipes was a mans job. Now, neither her or her husband had ever taught their son such a thing but somehow he had picked up that plumbing was a traditionally male profession and internalised that belief.

Fairly certain Lions are the only one with Neds as their co-major partner.
Something new to be offended about. So boring I reckon. People are always going to gamble, always have. The companies want you to bet with them, it's pretty simple. I do laugh when Sportsbet post the big multis or whatever on their social media almost encouraging people to keep having a crack at those unrealistic money wasters. But like most things, it's more of an intelligence and discipline thing, the people without either of those will succumb to another vice regardless.

Yep it’s embarrassing, should be banned. And I love betting.
But it’ll never happen, they’re party donors. To both sides.

BF is a cesspool generally, but every now and again a post like this shines through, thank you.
You never know they might run a book on the odds of which window they are going through for that day. I'm putting my money on the Arch if I can get good odds

And that same kid still thinks it's a man's job? Or did she get taught from her parents that that isn't the case?
Weird argument.....

I love a punt more than most.
In fact I've been nominated for the Most Degenerate Punter of the Year award on the cherrfooty Punting board three years straight.
But I would be delighted to see the punting advertising curtailed. It has gotten way out of hand.
There's a lot of people in this thread who don't seem to understand what is being discussed here.
We're not saying we want betting banned.
We're saying we want the advertising -- especially during games -- banned.
It won't happen, too many snouts at the trough.
Still a good idea for a thread, cheers to the OP.

As much chance as me being able to turn up to the footy at the MCG with an expected crowd of 20,000 and sit wherever I want
