I've got 5 quid on Kate having a ginger baby (bet against my friends, not a betting shop).
That's as far as it's ok to go if you ask me. The betting shops, gambling outfits and lottery prey on people's desire to be "better off". It's another form of servitude if you ask me. There are responsible gambling campaigns but daytime TV is all about betting and online bingo and stuff so it's about the same as saying not to smoke whilst giving away the first 10 cigarettes for free.
If you've got 25 minutes to spare, this takes a comedy twist on it but the underlying story shows how much it affects our culture here in the UK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAXFHRdeLqw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAXFHRdeLqw
