When your only friends are parasites like this scumbag, you know as an industry you are f*cked.
Gambling is not evil, and a Restore Britain Government will reduce taxes on the industry.
Adults should be free to make their own choices about how they spend their own money - a wild thing for a political party to say, I know.
Britain has a successful gambling industry that supports local economies all over the country.
In my constituency alone we have horse racing, a greyhound stadium, plenty of arcades and more.
We should be encouraging responsible operators to thrive, not taxing them into dust.
Problem gambling is an issue and should be properly addressed. But punishing an entire industry, costing thousands of jobs, for the actions of a very small number is not the answer.
Restore Britain will back British gambling.

Insane interaction with Betfair Exchange this weekend.
Been on a bad run recently, down ~£12k over the last three months.
I get an email saying my account has been severely restricted until I call them for an RG check.
I get through to someone who asks whether I'm comfortable with the losses.
I say yes.
She asks me to explain what happened.
I say bad variance, pointing out that the account is still up £7k this year, even after the recent losses.
She asks whether I have a betting strategy.
I say bet when I think the line is wrong.
She tells me that unless I can explain my strategy better than that, she'll have to impose a £1,500 monthly deposit limit.
I ask why I need to explain my strategy when I've been profitable this year and over the lifetime of the account.
She says there's nothing she can do. Limits imposed.
Betfair Exchange is basically the last place in the UK where people can still try and win. Now, seemingly, even that's becoming impossible.
I'm in a WhatsApp group with around 10 serious/sharp bettors, and probably two can still bet freely on Betfair.
Regulation feels broken

He went 15 for 15 picking every NFL winner.
Then FanDuel offered him $2,277 to walk away from $6,705.
He took it. The Falcons won.
Here's why that button exists 👇
I wouldn't say this is my favourite of Ben's interviews, but it's certainly in the top 1

Do you worry about maintaining income as a professional gambler?
What type of person inspires you?
How do you handle bad runs?
It's a cracker of a Top 10 episode this week, as @BenStarSports is joined by pro punter @nickgoff79! 👇
Abysmal stuff. More like the dickhead dudes

But it’s not actually expanding the market, is it?
You are delighting in the downfall of the regulated market. It’ll just push more people towards an already expanding black market — where there’s less regulation, fewer protections for consumers, and no tax being paid?

Finally home after Bet Bash. Think I need a week to recover minimum. Might never look at a beer the same way again either
Bet Bash delivered again. Brilliant people, great connections, first class organisation. Major +ev move attending. Liver might disagree though.
My casino streak lives on. Another Bet Bash, another trip with exactly $0 wagered on the tables.
Both a major hacking conference and gambling conference at the same time in Vegas. Never has there been such a big gathering of pasty dudes...
I'll bring the spf50
There are some seriously strange people out there.
Expect a high correlation with those who like the band 'James' too.
Looking forward to attending Bet Bash next week.
If you're involved in a betting group, syndicate or originator, id be pleased to meet.
Always happy to discuss opportunities, share ideas, and connect where there’s a good fit.
DM's open

2 of the G7 leaders are Everton supporters (Andy Burnham 🇬🇧 and Mark Carney 🇨🇦). #EFC
Based on how it looks outside, the world might be ending today just as England have a chance of making the final. Typical
