SHAME on Ray Winstone for advertising 365 Betting on prime time T.V.


Even more so for an actor ( guffaw ) who prides himself in his craft & is so obviously reading from an "auto cue" whilst spouting phony enthusiasm for various computations designed to draw money from desperate & deluded " punters "


I have no qualms in saying that I despise betting & the industry surrounding it, that it's advertised on our airwaves as a leisure pursuit sits very badly.



Odds on you agree with me.



W**F

Ray Winstone is in my opinion a fine actor. He may stick to the usual east end hoodlum but he does it well so who am I to complain eh. He was undeniably good in Sexy Beast and Henry The VIII.


It was suggested that Mr Winstone may be a viable choice to take on the role of 007 by another established forum member but I see this as a foolish notion. Ray Winstone's Bond would, without a doubt, eventually nick the Aston and flog it for parts.


I sort of agree with you about the betting industry but people will gamble on just about anything from whether Ray Winstone's Bond would rummage around in his victims mouths for gold teeth or if he'd headbutt M for confining him his mock Tudor home in Essex for insubordination. People will gamble, encouraged or not by glossy ads portraying the life of a gambler as that of a glamorous secret agent.

    • I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights. 
    • I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.
    • The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
    • Do you mean that there are only very few trades people and that all of their thousands of happy customers post glowing reviews but most of them have only ever posted once to recommend said trade person on the trade person's own thread?   If so, I agree it's mysterious.
