The Things That I Really Really DISLIKE Thread.

Any sport that is intrinsically linked to gambling will always get a big no from me.
If you banned gambling horse racing would collapse as a sport.
Cheltenham this week we’ve lost 3 horses and how many have gambled irresponsibly too? Putting their own welfare and family at risk of hardship.
Yes you can gamble on any sport, however ban gambling from say football and the sport continues as gambling isn’t the main catch.

The UAE has horse racing without 'traditional' gambling. I appreciate that the likes of the World Cup (I was at the inaugral meeting in Dubai in 96 which Cigar won) although not gambled on in the UAE is gambled on around the world.

I don't gamble myself (not since 1983), but if gambling was made illegal, punters would be offered criminally backed betting opportunities.
