Sick and tired of the TAB or Waterhouse offering odds on the tennis, what has happened to watching sport for the love of it and not being subjected to advertising asking us to bet on the outcome ?

I think advertising betting on TV should be banned on all sporting fixtures such as the tennis and footy the same as the smoking ads, what are your thoughts ?

hello Newstart, is it going to rain? I thought it was looking promising this morning, but not so sure now. At least it's not as hot as it was a few days ago.

 

 

Gambling is a huge problem, I'm amazed it is allowed to be so shamelessy promoted.

I also don't like young Mr Waterhouse, he makes my skin crawl.

Rain, thought it might this morning and looked promising BUT the sun is out and no clouds in the sky. Feel sad for the farmers who desperately need rain.

I have nothing against gambling at the races or at the venue where the game is played but this promotion on TV is unacceptable and should be banned.

I totally agree with banning advertising betting on the TV and I also think they should ban advertising alcohol.  Both of these are just as bad as smoking.  I am just waiting until they advertise drugs - the powers that be probably haven't found a way to make money out of advertising it yet.

 

People will always smoke, drink, bet and do drugs regardless of whether it is advertised.

 

They should advertise the broken bodies that result in the over-indulgent use of these popular pastimes.

Here's some weather and "rain" odds

 

Why not mix your weather betting with some sporting action? Rain is as synonymous with Wimbledon as Sue Barker and Pimmโ€™s, and if you think the likes of Andy Murray will face rain on every day of the two-week long tennis tournament, you can get odds of 33/1

Novelty Weather Bets to Warm your Cockles ยป

Britons up and down the country are hoping for a long, hot summer after a dismally wet start to the year. But while they wait for the sun to put his proverbial hat on, it's never too early to predict whether or not it is going to be a White Christmas in the UK this year. Coral are already taking bets on whether any snow will fall on 25th December in any of the UK and Irelandโ€™s biggest cities. The Scots are seen to have the best chance, with the odds of a White Christmas in Edinburgh starting at 11/2 at the time of writing, while London, Dublin and Belfast are all holding steady at 8/1. The Welsh capital of Cardiff has slightly longer odds of 9/1, with its last snowfall on Christmas Day occurring in 2004.

If snow is not your meteorological cup of tea, there's also the opportunity to gamble on how hot the British weather will reach in 2013. The highest temperature ever recorded was in Kent on 10th August 2003, where the mercury rose to a sizzling 38.5ยฐC. If you believe that a heatwave will break the current record a decade later, you could receive odds of 14/1.

Why not mix your weather betting with some sporting action? Rain is as synonymous with Wimbledon as Sue Barker and Pimmโ€™s, and if you think the likes of Andy Murray will face rain on every day of the two-week long tennis tournament, you can get odds of 33/1. However, if your outlook is more optimistic, and you don't think that it will rain at all during Wimbledon (as was the case during the sun-soaked 2010 Championships), you could place a bet at 10/1.

So if you fancy yourself as the next Michael Fish, visit Coral online today. Donโ€™t forget to read our Coral review for details on how you could claim your Coral bonus when you sign up.
