I hate that glib little box-ticking phrase the bookie's adverts use.
They're in the business of breeding industrial strength gambling addicts, not renting out bouncy castles.
I use the phrase because in this case it gets straight to the point. Rather than waste time given the man advice he's not interested in taking, he's going to do what he's going to do and it doesnt look like anything thats said here is going to make any difference.
I agree Pat and it wasn't a dig at what you said, just the way the adverts use the phrase.

When the fun stops, STOP

Luca, when you lose all your money (plus some) and it's not fun, it's ok because you can just 'stop'.
I've never noticed it before but I just heard the slogan on an advert. The funny thing about it is that it sounds so contradictory and out of place when they just spent an exciting 30 seconds telling you how much you can win - almost as though they don't want to say it!

They don't want to, they 'have' to.

The guidelines should be change so it's at the start and says "The following offers are bullshit"

Unlikely though because it's all to do with the SenetGroup that the bookies themselves had to set up to try and look sqeeky clean for the govt. Hence the blink-and-you-miss-it (as you did) helpful advice.
