Another pretty standard week; bookies affiliates are in trouble, football is addicted to gambling and the gambling industry’s image is in tatters:

• Bookmakers use affiliates who provide dodgy tips
• Bookmakers target the vulnerable
• Bookmakers bearing gifts to MPs; surely not
• Paddy Power takes to blasphemy to promote their product
• A poor way to run a democracy
• Football is addicted to gambling
• A profitable bookie ruined by bad practices: In red
• Gambling industry feasts on the poor and vulnerable
• Tipsters recommending Bet365 are up to no good
• Football needs to clean up its act ; gambling adverts seen by kids
• The gambling industry’s reputation is in tatters says 888 CEO

The following are all the links to the media coverage proving we’re not making it up.

ps:  Does NOT include all the media coverage of violence and robberies in betting shops.  From memory there’s been about 4-5 incidents this week, so back to regular levels.
