t’s good that the true dark side is tolerated, just a little eye opening that this conversation face too face with ‘punters’ is easy to understand while here online on a forum where ‘punters’ don’t know me, have taken it personal with denial.

No one is denying there is a dark side to gambling, thats a fact which everyone is aware of, and many as EightBlack has stated have experienced it.

The point everyone is trying to make is that it is pointless haranguing a lowly paid call centre worker for it – what will it achieve other than to make him feel a bit more depressed.   I’m sure there are members of this forum who have worked in that environment and have taken shit on a daily basis for the actions of their employers.

If an individual is pissed off about gambling losses or the impact of the gambling business, write to someone who has power or influence, don’t take it out on some 19 year old lad who may have only started that day in the first job he has every had !

Your absolutly bang on here dune I worked in call centres for years on the phones and email support and the amount of people who give you a grilling for something fuck all within your control is uncountable, in fact I know many people who had to leave due to depression stemmed from the things people would say. One company was for loans, do you know how shit you feel when somebody blames you personally for having their possessions taken away? Or has lost their accommodation due to debts? I was just doing my job to avoid the same situation but those cunts still made my days longer.

Mr B.. You have done exactly that and blamed an innocent party for the faults of an entire industry… Now how do you know that person hasn’t been affected by suicide? Either lost a loved one or feeling like it himself, so for you to put the blame of destroyed families and suicide on him is nothing shy of disgusting.

The dark side of gambling is sitting in a dark room with no electric, no food, an exhausted supply of debtors and the memory of gambling more money than you own in a desperate attempt to save the situation you put yourself in, through gambling… In my experience anyway

I don’t personally relate to any of the Bandits videos doesn’t stop me enjoying them, I can’t deposit a grand and play on 2quid and if he was depositing 20quid at a time and spinning on 20p like I do I’d find it boring as fuck

I really like the mega high stake videos personally

I AM NEVER WRONG!

ALSO: You’re focusing on so many stupid things, no wonder you’re not getting anywhere! Holy.. It’s not that hard to stop derailing with stupid details that don’t really matter in the grand scheme of things, but even y’all in the comments here are derailing about stupid little things, and then complaining about the politicians doing the same. You’re buying into their way of tricking you.

This entire process is very straight forward, but politicians are trying to make you think it’s complicated. It’s not. Just stop sending your money to the EU and stop taking in immigrants. Show the EU the finger and voila, you’re out!

Goddamn there are too many stupid people in the world.

I voted leave and strongly believe brexit means brexit. I’ll be marching in London for that very point,

but it’s isn’t quite as simple as stop immigration and stop sending money as much as I wish it was
