Peter Shilton Slams EFL Gambling Deal That Sees Clubs Use Fans Losses

Antar is a convicted fraudster who faces the prospect of additional prison time in November for a scheme in which he cheated friends and relatives of money he used to feed his compulsive gambling habit.

Dr Cecilia Melendres, a pediatric sleep expert at Johns Hopkins University, told DailyMail.com that the rise in video game supplements was 'definitely is a major factor' in the current sleep crisis facing among US children and teens.

But while most parents recognize brands like Monster and Red Bull as energy drinks, experts warn gaming supplements could be mistaken for a protein shake because they are diluted in a gym shaker bottle.

In an interview with the Financial Times yesterday, Mr Gove said of the attempted 45p cut that while 'daring audacity is required in politics', this economic moment was 'really not a time for gambling'.

He hoodwinked Theresa into trying to do a deal with Jeremy Corbyn and yet Liz Truss was still prepared to show him the hand of friendship. People forget that Michael does have a history of chopping and changing. He backed Brexit but then became a Brexit denier who blocked No Deal and pushed Theresa towards Corbyn.'

It's all very well to say fortune favours the brave, but there are some moments where you are unlikely to follow someone who is exceptionally brave because they are charging towards the guns without necessarily the artillery support that you would expect.'

'I've been in prison once, and I'm probably facing prison again, and it all had to do with me not being able to admit to myself I was a compulsive gambler,' Antar said in an interview with The Associated Press Thursday.

Some of the bigger Championship clubs made around £10,000 annually from the deal which saw the clubs act as middle men, sending punters Sky Bet's way and then picking up a percentage of the money they lost.

However, that isn't enough for Dale Vince, green energy entrepreneur and owner of League One Forest Green Rovers, whose club work with The Big Step, a charity set up by bereaved families campaigning to end gambling advertising in football.

He also claims the companies paid him near-daily bonuses totaling $30,000 a month to keep him playing and to entice him not to report problems with the Pkv Games to the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement.

Boris Johnson and Ms Truss's vanquished opponent, Rishi Sunak, was the name most frequently mentioned as a possible successor, but Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, Home Secretary Suella Braverman, International Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch and Commons Leader Penny Mordaunt were also touted as potential quick-entry candidates if the Tories are still more than 20 points behind by the spring.

So this scheme seems quite egregious but I'm not sure it's any different to taking the corporate shilling of a gambling company and sticking their brand in front of their fans to encourage loss-making activity.

Sources say that while 'no job was explicitly offered' to Mr Gove, it's understood that Ms Truss 'alluded to a senior diplomatic role working with a major ally' with 'possible landing spots being Israel or the UAE where vacancies are soon due to arise'.

We can see the enormous social damage of gambling, the addictions the suicides. It's not about calling for a ban on gambling, it's about reining in football. If you watch Premier League coverage, it is dominated by gambling adverts: pitch-side board, every intermission, in programmes, on shirts. 

Mr Gove's intervention galvanised plotters at the conference, with former Transport Secretary Grant Shapps - who infamously possesses a detailed spreadsheet of Tory MPs' voting intentions, held on a folding Samsung phone - at the centre of the intrigue.

'The RSPB has a million members and they're going nuts over this,' the MP said. At their pre-conference meeting, Ms Truss is understood to have said: 'I think I know what you are concerned about,' to which Mr Gove said: 'Yes, your tax cut for the wealthy.'

‘I know the clubs are desperate for money but they seem to find it for astronomical wages.
It's about value and football needs to look at itself. Gambling ruins lies there is one suicide a day men and women people getting addicted.' A Public Health England report from September 2021 cited 409 suicides a year linked to gambling addiction.

‘While some clubs do receive revenue from legacy sign-ups that occurred prior to the new agreement, the affiliate scheme in place was phased out and all sign-up links via EFL Digital channels have been removed.'

She hears arguments for the first time as the Supreme Court opens its new term on Monday and the conservative-dominated judicial body has shown an increasing willingness to exert its power on a range of issues.

Although accounts vary about the 45-minute meeting - held as the markets were crashing in response to Kwasi Kwarteng's mini-Budget - what isn't disputed is that Mr Gove was complimentary to the Prime Minister's face as he was tacitly offered a one-way ticket to the Middle East.
