Message: [QUOTE="Jeba, post: 2486843, member: 1827"] I'm not a Tom Waterhouse fan and I don't care about live odds being banned but if the government thinks that live odds during sports telecasts is the root of problem gambling then they have showed once again they have NFI. Every study shows that a massive majority of problem gambling stems from poker machines and a very minute percentage comes from sports betting. These companies aren't there trying to attract new gamblers. They are trying to bring customers over from competitors. So in TW's case - he wants customers from Sportsbet, Sportingbet, bookmaker.com.au etc to come and bet with him instead. Taking live odds off telecasts won't make one little bit of difference when they are available on demand via smart phones, internet, tablets etc. Again - not saying that the banning is bullshit - just highlighting another example of why this Government has NFI when tackling the core of a problem.
