Gambling in football: FA ends deals with gambling firms including Ladbrokes
Think the pressure will continue to grow on the game to reduce the amount of gambling exposure there is around our national game.
People need to accept gambling is an addiction just like drugs, drink or smoking some can control their urges but others can't and the consequences can be devestating.
Is it right that gambling is pushed on us constantly when watching sport with stadiums named after betting firms, shirt sponsors adverts before, during and after games. I'm not saying it needs to be completely banned but it certainly feels like it needs to be reigned in a bit.
