I’ve recently moved from paid Spotify to the free version with ads.
Monday to Friday I get adverts for herbal tea and highways agency advice on preventing hedgehog deaths caused by litter.
From about 7am Saturday and Sunday. I get near constant ads and offers from the friendly Irish sounding bookmaker who have the very calculated “great banter with the lads” social media slant.
I got onto the whole matched betting thing about ten years ago. I’m glad I did. Not because I took the ****holes for a risk free few grand. But because it taught me how they all operate.
Not only are the odds massively stacked against you (basically like offering heads or tails paying out at 1.5), but on the odd occasion the punter gets lucky, they’ll restrict accounts and make withdrawing funds difficult to say the least.
They’ll apply the opposite tactic to a big loser and target them with offers to tempt them back.

More evidence that local councils have little power to prevent this plague
