    Gambling is an endemic that needs to be dealt with but when it comes to child gambling the issue doesn't lie in football bets but in the form of loot boxes and microtransactions (in-app purchases) in video games (mobile games and console/pc games), it targets children unaware of the value of money they are unknowingly pay US with their parents credit cards.

    I work in a bookies and some of the customers we have are just heartbreaking. People come up, angry and frustrated and tell us to put more money on the roulette machine from their cards. The main issue with that is that we can't say no. We can ask if they really want to, ask if they wanna take a break and calm down, offer advice, but if I wanna keep my job I can't just tell them to stop. In April, the roulette / slot machines will be set to a limit of £2 per spin, which is LONG overdue and should be a real help to these people who can't stop themselves. The real issue is online gambling, because not only are there no spending limits with online gambling, but that's also where the children bet. In the shops, we ID every single person who walks in who looks even a little bit young, but obviously that can't be done online. Online gambling should either be heavily limited, or banned full stop. In-shop betting isn't nearly as big a problem as online betting.

      Because many parents accounts are linked to their child’s iPad or phone. You can’t download apps without an Apple ID so many parents will sign in and then the child will receive push notifications or in games pop ups which they may press and inadvertently make a purchase.

      Did this as a child, of course I couldn’t see the consequences. I’d blow all my savings on fifa points and open packs. I’d see my favourite TH-camrs (W2S, KSI, CHRISMD, JMX etc) open packs and wanted to be just like them. That’s the worst part - public figures whom kids look up gambling and promoting it. Hope this changes over the next decade. I’m 17 now and understand the consequences thoroughly as I have half a brain whereas at age 12 I did not. Sad reality. Companies like epic games have already refused to include gambling in their games, hopefully EA take notes. Fifa isn’t the only one, same story for e.g COD although it’s rated an 18 so I guess it’s different.

    1:01. Both side was trained to learn the enemy's language so they can understand them when confronted. It was also arranged by Germans singing the Autrian version of silent night. Then the British started to compete with the germans but it turned into a synthesized song. After that, during the next day in broad say light, British and German troops started to come out of there trenches giving a trust to the enemy side. After that, each celebrated Christmas by trading goods each has like, cigars, chocolate and warm cloths. But it couldn't last till new years eve and the war started again. Some sectors lasted.past that but it would be the only peace agreement of WW1. Never even thought upon in the later years and in WW2. Rest in peace to the soldiers of our side, and the enemy. Because both side was neither good or evil, only fighting for their country for freedom.

    I'm the Manager in a Betfred and I can confirm that when I bring up to the Regional Management about problem gamblers they tell me to try and increase the time and amount of money they spend in my shop. It's not just football and horse bets either. The slot machines in our shops are a tragedy. It happens every week. You get someone who comes in expecting a big pay out and they end up spending £5000 in a few hours and they leave with nothing. The government have put something in motion to try and help though. Next April you will only be able to spend a max of £2 a spin on slots and roulette. At the moment people can spend up to £50 a spin. I've seen people lose £1000 in 10 minutes. It truly is a massive problem in this country. It's like the lottery. Few people win and most people lose.

    I took my brother to his 1st United game at Old Trafford and it was the 1st home game of the 2011/12 season against Spurs. Won 3-0. He was only 5. He asked me if he could chant anything. I said yh. Thinking he was gonna chant already existed chants. 1st half Van Der Vaart goes to take a corner. In some footy magazines they have puns like calling Van Der Vaart, Van Der Faart. My bro is right next to VDV. He goes “yoryt Van Der Faart. Shit yourself yet”. Then he starts chanting, “he shat himself, he shat himself, Rafael Van Der Faart, he shat himself.” Shit you not, with 10 minutes left of the match, about 80% of the ground was chanting my brothers chant.😂😂😂
    Unfortunately when we go to OT now, there’s not much to chant about. Jose Out.

    0:40 stopped the war for a little, but then the troops were replaced and ended up fighting elsewhere. But it was still a good moment that reminds us that not all enemy soldiers are evil, or disconnected from us. What they stand for is wrong, what fight for is evil, but not all bad people think that they're bad. And both sides understood that that night.

Eventually he went to rehad got help and managed to stop, even got a court order so that gambling companies couldn't contact him. Then, one day when he was on holiday, he got an email from a betting company advertising a new deal. Sadly he old habits kicked in and he started again. However, he was so ashamed of himself he ended up taking his own life, whilst still on holiday with his family.

      Had it's upsides though, being a sort of dogsbody-cum-mascot to a dozen 15 year olds I did get to see a few pairs of tits long before I probably should have and I developed a penchant for pot from all the blow backs they liked to direct my way.
