17.10.11 Bingo

What is the obsession with gambling these days?  Bet365.com allows us all to bet on pretty much anything, but sure whether Ronaldo will fart while kicking a ball within five minutes of a goal in his next European match is rather irrelevant.  Equally irrelevant is whether the little ball lands on red or black at the next spin of a wheel.  Every sporting event is there to be 'second guessed' via a selection of betting options, from horses to boxing to rugby.  Online poker is also out of control now.  How many versions do we need, and how many more lives will be fucked up by gambling?  However, it will not be anyone's fault other than the stupid participant who did not know his or her own limits, and did not properly study the information at gambleaware.co.uk.  The stupid gambler was probably pissed when the last few bets were placed, and had fallen foul of the guidelines on the drinkaware.co.uk website.

Where's the website for plonkers - twataware.co.uk - which could help people avoid being a complete idiot?  The nation seems hell bent on slipping down the toilet in so many different walks of life, and gambling is just another on the list.  For reasons of conscience, it seems there are a few websites to cater for idiots, so that governments and industries can claim to care.

Where's the kidaware.co.uk marketing to tell idiot teenagers not to get pregnant?  As if there are not enough problems in the world, there's now a concerted effort to promote bingo to ludicrous levels.  The poor old housewife, or if the pushers of debt had their way, the not-so-poor lady of leisure, is now supposed to get her kicks from the array of bingo outlets.  They are all over the place.

Winkbingo, Sunbingo, Foxybingo, Williamhillbingo, Bet365bingo, Redbusbingo, Lightscamerabingo, and whatever the fuck Jackpot Joy is offering.  These are just a few of the shitty time wasting, money eating, leach sites that offer nothing but trouble, playing the percentages so that the population is taxed.  There's just too much shit online.  Soon you'll be able to hang washing online! [Sorry, that was awful . . . ]

Whatever next?  The way things are going, there'll soon be a needless second lottery game to rival Camelot's Lotto.  To make it different, and to appeal to our collective better nature, it'll probably donate money to subsidise health.  It wouldn't surprise me if it's called the Health Lottery.  Let's face it, it would need to be called that because the NHS is in fact now a National Health Lottery, where you take your chances in getting care.  Not content with taking 12% or 13% of my wages for fuck all, the cunts will no doubt expect me to get excited about helping them nick 20p out of every extra pound I spend trying to win when the odds are slimmer than an anorexic's clit.  Oh . . . . Brian Blessed has just launched The Health Lottery - well there you have it. 

On line Tiddlywinks next!  Beats bingo.
