Ireland just beat England.

[Skids]

They were paying $10, the poms were $1.06.

I think Newcastle are a great bet at $1.90 to beat Aston Villa @ St James park, a venue Villa haven't won at since 2005.
The Magpies are in their best form in years. Fresh off a win against Spurs, I can't see them not getting the 3 points.

[Skids]

A lovely result. After my nice collect on the nags yesterday I doubled my bet on the Magpies and also went exact score bets; 3-0 @ $11 & 4-0 @ $15

[Skids]

Took Arsenal 4-0 @ $12... they win 5-0.

‘Gamble responsibly’ message ditched from betting ads

https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/gamble-responsibly-message-ditched-from-betting-ads-20221101-p5buqg.html

"A suite of up to seven taglines will instead be required to accompany gambling advertising across TV, video, digital, radio, print and social media, as well as platforms such as outdoor advertising and promotional materials.

The new taglines include: “Chances are you’re about to lose”; “Think. Is this a bet you really want to place?” ; “What’s gambling really costing you?” and “What are you prepared to lose today? Set a deposit limit”.
...

In a research report to the government, consultants Hall and Partners tested 10 taglines before whittling them down to seven. It found “rotating different messages in market reduces the likelihood of [consumers] ‘tuning out’ to the message in a short space of time, as was an often-reported response to the ‘gamble responsibly’ tagline”.

It found of the seven taglines: “Chances are you’re about to lose” showed the broadest promise “with application to a range of formats and media, and potential for its own campaign”.
...

According to government statistics, Australians have higher gambling losses than any other country on a per capita basis at $1276 per year, while the rate of problem gambling among online gamblers (3.9 per cent) is three times the rate among pokies gamblers (1.4 per cent)."

Wowee... Oz's odds haven't blown out. I'd have expected longer odds than that (8.50 -> 10.00).
