Problem gamblers are being encouraged to take preventative steps, such as putting blocks on betting websites, ahead of the annual Grand National horse race which runs on Saturday.
The Grand National race, at Aintree, Liverpool, is watched by an audience of around 600 million people, including those at the track and many more watching it on television. According to new analysis by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, the fiscal cost of harmful gambling to the UK is £1.4bn per year, linked to higher welfare payments and increased healthcare needs.
Real gamblers don't bet on the Grand National because they know the best horse on paper is vulnerable to interference from others, especially loose horses. This is a race for fun gamblers like myself.
'The highest paid director of bet365... founder Denise Coates, earned a salary of £213.4m [...] campaign groups such as the High Pay Centre hit out at the announcement, arguing it served as a reminder that “too much [money] is going to too few people” in the UK🇬🇧 economy💱.' ⬇️
