Question What is making you happy today?

I feel an obligation.

People trust Ray Winstone.

Lots of them. bet365's enormous success (they were a Stoke bookmaker with 59 shops and no internet presence just 15 years ago) is based a lot on their marketing. product is very good too of course, but the mind boggles really.

I've not got a problem with people gambling but I don't think people should be allowed to used credit cards to do so....

Agreed with you there and would never use one myself.

As a point of fairness, I should add that credit cards can't be used in shops, only online. But it's still not really on.

I have a mate in the business and he says the second he hears about someone sticking a big punt on an unfancied horse he is straight on his phone putting money on it. He says the whole game is crooked.

I imagine sports betting is less so but do people really make a living out of it?

I know a couple of people who have quit their jobs as traders / odds compilers to go it alone. They do make it pay but it's really hard work and getting up at 4am to sit in front of a laptop and try to win money on the Bangladeshi Premier League doesn't strike me as a dream lifestyle.
 
Also, it always rise an eyebrow when you visit certain illicit streaming websites and you're hit with pop up adverts for a multitude gambling websites.

I imagine that unless you diversify you are only a couple of losses away from going under as well.

And as a point of interest if you use an interest free credit card and don't pay the full amount, they will charge interest on your most recent purchases if they are for gambling.
 
The score last night. Also looking forward to finishing my Hobbit marathon (24 hours in 4 days) and the Marvel Civil War trailer just dropped. It looks awesome.
 
I've just seen an email that was sent to the whole office explaining the year end performance review process, and how to input everything on the system, knowing full well that it doesn't affect me one iota.

For me, that is the best part of being a contractor.
