    "Its terrible", "stop advertising", "increase regulation"....

    I wonder are they going to have their weekly, betdaq sponsored gambling segment after it?

    Nah it was actually interesting enough tbh. Will probably be on a podcast to listen back to. But tbf if you've heard one before there wouldn't be be anything new in it. They were generally all on the more regulation line though.

    Watched a program on BBC recently, this womans husband was addicted to the machines in the shops & later committed suicide, she trying to understand them, etc.

    It showed another guy addicted to the machines having his brain scanned while using a mock app, it was the anticipation of it that his brain was responding most to. Winning or losing didn't really matter to him - going by the scan.

    Actually seen a similar link to the anticipation years ago somewhere about people bidding on eBay items

    They mentioned something similar with the mobile apps. Its not so much the winning or loosing but when you see the event you've back being suspended, that's where most of the thrill comes from
