Are the English any more degenerate gamblers than Americans? Americans have just had it illegal forever, but you are inundated with gambling stuff now in every sportscast since most states have legalized books. I even see in NFL games now they are posting the half game O/U and ML on the halftime shows of games.

I dont think Gambling in and of itself is 'Degenerate.'
'Problem Gambling' is a lot like indulging in excess to any other vice. I'll throw the occasional bet on stuff, its not my 'vice of choice' per se, but a few bucks here and there? Why not? Its like buying a Lottery Ticket.
That being said, I'm a terrible Gambler. I always bet with my heart rather than my head.

I think he lost his job over that, but it was hilarious.

Twenty bucks says the Australians love to gamble more than the English.

Bernardo Silva really does not get the love he deserves, just a heart and soul player putting in a massive shift almost every game. Absolutely everywhere today.

Two balls cleared off the line in as many minutes on each side. This one is off to the races.

Obviously the match of the season and one of the best in recent memory, just needed the late winner for all-time classic status.

The result notwithstanding, that was probably the most fun match I've watched in a long time.

I believe in the Jays.

That was very entertaining. Not sure why we pulled off a midfielder for a striker after going up 3-2 though, that wasn’t wise.

Well, I now look forward to BHA fulfilling my prediction and going top of the table Monday, and remaining there until the end.  Speaking of gambling, I really should have put $500 on that just for giggles...
