@CompusetJack @VaughanLewis1 It's underlining an interesting contribution to the debate from someone who knows the industry way better than most. That's not the same as an endorsement.
English
@VaughanLewis1 @nickluck This is incredibly disingenuous. They may have been used previously, but affordability checks and restrictions are now increasingly being used interchangeably, and punters are the ones paying the price. Shame on you and shame on @nickluck for endorsing this.

Chris makes the key point here. Bookmaker restrictions have existed for decades. They existed during racing’s strongest periods.
They’re frustrating, but they’re not new and they’re not what’s driving this crisis.
What IS new is affordability checks that treat every punter like a suspect, tax rises that strip value from every bet, and a regulatory precedent that effectively makes it a compliance risk to accept a winning gambler’s money as source of funds.
Punters are always trying to win. From other punters, whether via bookies, totes or exchanges. That’s the game.
Restrictions are part of it. But the enemy here isn’t the industry that puts £350m a year into British racing. It’s the policies pushing punters towards a black market that pays no tax, funds no racing, and protects no one.
Racing working with bookmakers isn’t optional. It’s fundamental to the future of the sport.

For decades off-course bookmakers have restricted winners. That has always been the reality. But before affordability checks racing punters still had liquidity on Betfair, could get proper bets on and could actually WIN. That gave the market confidence, liquidity and strength and kept serious punters involved in racing. Everyone involved in racing should be fighting the over-regulation and over-taxation of gambling. That means fighting the anti-gambling lobby, the Gambling Commission and the DCMS, not the industry that puts £350m a year into British Racing. Making bookmakers the scapegoat helps nobody except people who fundamentally hate gambling. Bookmaker restrictions are not the reason racing is facing a crisis now. Those restrictions existed during racing’s strongest periods as well. Affordability checks alongside a potential advertising ban would be a disaster for the sport. Racing should be fighting both before even more damage is done.

Great to join @BenKentish on @LBC last night to discuss the markets after an extraordinary day. Support for Burnham in the next PM market, but he’s got a big battle in Makersfield first - expect more market moves soon!
English
Our tolerance levels evidently differ, but this is beside the point, which is that - for better or worse - bookmaker advertising has afforded racing a disproportionate amount of network TV airtime for 20 years. This has sustained the sport's relevance and maintained a (just about) workable turnover. I respect your disapproval, but can't see your viable alternative.
English
@nickluck @GregSaveall Nick have you thought that the public don’t want to be bombarded with bookies ads? Sky Racing a perfect example of saturation, I get dozens of casino games emails every week. I’ve yet to see any responses who disagree with me, you’re out of touch with the public
English
Good about time someone said it. Bookies ads should be banned especially for casino games, I fully support this. It’s got nothing to do with racing
Chris Fawcett@chrisgambler247
'Prohibit gambling advertising, promotion, and sponsorship to prevent exposure, especially to children and young people.' Andy Burnham signed. British racing needs to get ahead of this. brent.gov.uk/-/media/files/…
English
@GregSaveall @DubaiAce Thanks for that, Greg. While you put the genie back in that particular bottle, there will be no network TV coverage. That's simply a fact. The shortcomings of the industry have been well underlined elsewhere.
English
@JonasLeng @BarstewardsThe Jon, I think the arguments surrounding Skill vs Chance & GPT vs Turnover have all been v well articulated. But my point was specifically about the folly of supporting a blanket ban on betting ads. Legislation upon legislation - racing won't keep getting a bye from govt.
English
@nickluck @BarstewardsThe Nick, maybe it could be an idea that racing could do it's own adverts, pointing out the value to be had playing the horses against casino games where you cannot win? Of course the gross profits tax situation means that clued up followers would kill the game, so forget it eh?
English
Punters not allowed to win = no Racing Tv, no Timeform, no Racing Post, no Proform, no TPD, more soiling of the word gambling = plummeting turnover - good night, already turning the lights out!
