Oh every footy league in the world mate. As I roughly said somewhere it’s like booze or smokes used to be and is as destructive.
Agree.
I enjoy a bet or two (lost money today) but I do not need it rammed down my neck. Gambling is worse in many ways then the other two vices as it often destroys families, leaving them penniless and in debt, while fuelling crime from addicted gamblers and third party fixers/organised crime syndicates.
I'm really surprised the UK is so happy to see it marketed everywhere. While NZ and Australia are bad, the UK is appalling. I can only imagine what places like China are like.
A lot is illegal in China. Hence all the advertising of internet Chinese gambling through EPL clubs shirts and match day signs to web sites that are nominally based in the Philippines. The link is to a video explainer by a Hull City fan who has a soccer channel:

The US has had a year or two of legal sports gambling so that’s all about to explode in sharke as well.
In Japan, shame of shame, the great switch hitter and pitcher Shohei Ohtani has had his translator steal from him to pay for a gambling habit.
