For me this is the greatest 5 minutes ever given to the discussion on gambling regulation beautifully edited by Chris Fawcett

@jranoyes Anyone who believes pubs/alcohol are are social good over people having a bet with a tea or coffee must live on a different planet (or country in your case). God help us all if we have three years of MP's or the SMF pontificating on subjects that do not acknowledge reality.

@mat_rickard Doesn't the article ignore the fact that one motivated person could vote 60 times through all three voting mechanisms? So only 160 people would be needed in this example.
@alexmarshall81 Great article but as there are three different ways to vote in Eurovision each person could have voted 60 times last year. So your figures of people needed to sway the vote could be reduced by a third.
@JamesMakesStuff Doesn't this article miss the point that voters can use three different voting mechanisms, so one person could have voted 60 times last year and 30 times this year? So the number of people needed in each country to run such a campaign is much smaller than suggested.
@leedsrhinos Why has IMG been paid thousands of pounds to create a comprehensive grading criteria just to ignore it when expanding the league? And doesn't it de-legitimise the competition having teams competing against each other who have been selected on differing criteria?
One for a future thread @Golfpunter1 Bookmakers pricing up markets without one of the favourites (was fourth fav with Betway) and then settling all bets as losers?
Hi @SkyBet. You have settled a market for a cycling race today where you have not priced up the winner, surely the market for this should be void rather than making every selection a loser as you have done? Is this "fair and open" @GamRegGB
@Golfpunter1 There was no banner at the top of the market stating "others on request" but I did request the runner with them but they didn't reply (Betway replied within six minutes pricing the selection up). Asked them 48 hours before the off.
