No Ghost-o, do you have a cheeky bet on it?

TS can talk all they like about the problem but will they stop the in-game and half-time odds updates?

I realise the station needs revenue from all available angles but they could do more to cut the publicity if they wanted.

That was the point of the fred. It's the only time I've heard gambling mentioned negatively, and it will likely never be mentioned in that way again.

Heard the Press Pass and was an interesting debate for TS. Saggers said he will do a debate in the close season on gambling and will include the station as well. Will see if it airs. As per here: https://talkforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f ... 5#p1091215

They were actually musing if there's a huge problem with gambling these days and even Klopp-o got it in the neck from Tony "doesn't like certain Rupert Murdoch owned media outlets" Evans for being on the betting ad.

It was only a short segment but amazing to hear it on TS

Evans also called those silly little machines in Betting Shops .
