Liverpool are awful

All this is really hard atm as I've 'lost' my son to gambling.

He doesn't speak to me as he says that I'm 'not there for him'.

What this really means is that I won't lend (give) him any more money to fund his gambling addiction.

If I give him any more money, in my eyes, I'm enabling his addiction but it's tough to handle as he's gonna be out on the streets because he's gambled his rent money on the footy, horses whatever.

I know that he's trying to make me feel guilty, the little sod, but until he's ready to quit voluntarily or via rehab, there's not a lot of hope for him.

It hurts me every time I see or hear a betting advertisement.

Sorry to hear that pal. Shame him a bit as asking your parents for money if you are over 12 is a tad embarrassing or should be

Feel for you there.

Must be a terrible place to be.

Thanks for that, pal.

He’s actually had a place on a rehab course then pulled out at the last minute.

Proper frustrating.

I've seen at first hand what it can do. Hope he gets some help, mate.

I made about £18k doing matched betting over 2 years. In my spare time. As Traf said it needs discipline. 

Since I had my second kid my free time disappeared and the offers dried up anyway so matched betting got binned. 

Still have the occasional bet but eye opening during lockdown one, the only sports you could bet on was table tennis or Belarusian super league. Who the fuck was betting then?

If he lost money sports betting in lockdown one hes got big big issues. 

Unless he was on slots / casino I suppose. Very easy to spunk thousands in minutes when you can do £200 spins on the slots. 

Lee Dixon making it seem like Hungary are world beaters. England have been decent and created a good chance. Can't expect all teams to be as shit as weekend's opponents, but Hungary aren't that good.

He sounds like an impatient bolton fan. 

Grealish is a sight to behold in full flow.  A couple of his touches this evening have been phenomenal.

I put it on just after they scored

What did the comms refer to that was happening in the crowd

I know the goal is to win money but if I were to have a bet I’d like to bet on something I had an interest in and ideally watch

My mate could and would bet on the Peruvian conference league

Saka is awful and Henderson oh my god. Worst player for us was Mount

England ruined my acca

Always felt Saka is best on the left, and it wasn't Mount's best performance. Seemed very congested in there. 

Saka is shite at this level, he gives the ball away too often & makes too many mistakes - he’s just a poor mans Dapo.

Henderson brings fuck all to the table for England, never has, never will.

Bloody racist Eastern European’s again!! 
 

Wait a minute 🧐

Best of luck in getting him off it mate. I saw some report the other day that there are 333,000 gambling addicts in the UK.

Never affected me that way - I don't find it difficult to leave it alone for a few months at a time.

I went through a bad stage of, betting ridiculous amounts on anything I could. I tried to go down the route Traf did but like he said you can’t become emotionally involved which I did. Betting on the Indian Navy v the Indian Army at stupid o clock in the morning was one of my strangest bets! 
 

Anyway I digress, a good mate of mine, Mark murray is doing great things with an outfit called Whys Up, if you drop him a line/e mail he will give you some advice and hopefully he can speak to your lad as well. He helped me out a lot.
