Is it time for football to cut ties with gambling?
As the government ponders gambling reform, we discuss betting advertising in football.
Whether it鈥檚 through sponsors on the players鈥� shirts or advertising around the big games, the betting industry and football have never been closer.
Yet with the government鈥檚 imminent white paper expected to loosen that grip, we assess the pros and cons of football鈥檚 relationship with gambling.
Does sponsorship and advertising glamorise a dangerous vice that can foster addiction and ruin lives? Or is it merely reflective of a popular modern pastime that millions enjoy?
Would a total ban pave the way for more ethical brands to invest in the game - or leave a hole in the finances of football鈥檚 cash-strapped clubs?
