NOT!

Look at this face. Isn't he a sad case? Poor man has been forced to gamble and now he is taking the bookies to court. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the headline "Gambler sues bookmaker for taking his bets"

Whatever happened to personal responsibility? Look matey if you have a problem deal with it. Get help but don't blame others for your lack of self control.

Meh, even if he wins the money will soon be back on the bank account of William Hill. There is no way he will win though.

He is suing the bookmaker for the £2 million he lost after he asked to be barred. “If I’d known I had the problem and didn’t do anything about it, I would see myself as being 100 per cent responsible,” he told the BBC.

“The fact is that I did try to go through the right procedures and I was let down.”

Failure of duty of care by the bookies!

If the dickhead wins, (and I suspect he won't), then I'm going to sue my ex-bank for forcing bank loans on me

I am going to keep an eye out on the stock market value of several companies. I need to know which one to sue for making chocolate bars!
