Not even a Virgin or two? lol very good. They and TDK are probably the only Palace sponsors who have ever had a pound out of me, and neither were due to them being the sponsor.

We need to regulate it for sure. The advertising is everywhere with football. It was impossible to get away from it during the World Cup, with over half the adds seemingly being gambling adds. Personally, I think gambling adverts should be banned till after the watershed, and in play gambling needs some sort of regulation. That regulation exists elsewhere in the world. You do know that they can only advertise during sport on TV before the watershed? They were only allowed to start advertising on TV 11 years ago. Of course government approved betting, i.e. the lottery, didn't and doesn't have to abide by either of these things.

My son (age Not because it's a betting company, but because he wants his shirt to be the same as the players. There is not a chance he could place a bet at his age, even online, he wouldn't know what to do, and he doesn't understand it. When he is 18 he will be sufficiently educated to make up his own mind. It's a bit nanny state to not let kids wear such a logo on their shirt. Particularly as when he is 12/13 he will fit the small adult shirts that do have the betting logo on (just like all the 12 year old kids at Oxford had Singa beer sponsored shirts!) Fair enough that the government stopped smoking advertising, kids are a target market for tobacco firms, but I don't think betting companies are remotely targeting kids. Sick of Ray Winstone though, get him off my screen!! No one should bet with them anyway, they are owned by Stoke city's owners.

I couldn’t care less because as Ray Winstone says, I gamble responsibly and when the fun stops, I stop!! If they suddenly stopped all gambling advertising today, it wouldn’t make a bit of difference, because it’s out there now, it’s so easy to do on our phones, so why worry, if a weak or desperate individual can’t control it, it’s their problem!!

I often shop at a supermarket run by Chinese and they have laughed or chuckled when they saw last seasons sponsor on my Palace shirt. I asked them to explain but they couldn't, except that there seems to be no inference to betting. If Chinese people think it's meaningless or funny, and we don't know what it means either, then I'm not keen on it at all.... unless it is minting us enough to pay players wages etc. The Chinese writing on this season's shirts somehow ruins them more than last season's, giving them a very tacky *cheap and nasty* look imo.
Mine's a light and bitter. |

Our sponsor is Filipino.

They possibly used some crude translation tool for "man" and "bet" and it come up with human and gamble or person and chance, or it could be an amalgamation of differing Asian characters for all I know. It really doesn't bother me that it's foreign or advertising gambling if they offer the best deal for the club. It'd be nice to be British and a well thought of brand but you'd be over a barrel if they were you're only options.

Got a mate from there who is both the calmest person and the person I'd least like to get into a serious argument with. Edited by Stuk (07 Aug 2018 10.02pm)
