I quite enjoy Paddy Power's baiting of idiots to be honest. If you looked on Twitter right after they aired that advert it was full of weird little men calling them racist and claiming they were going to close their accounts because of a song where some Scottish people said they were going to bet against England. That's hilarious! I never find these people in real life, it's nice to be able to look in on them occasionally

I saw a "friend" on FB properly ranting about it and how they will be losing [English] customers over it. Very strange. Just a bit of fun.
Doesn't strike the right note for me -most up here think it's about time Scots got past the English chip on the shoulder. It's just a bit simplistic and patronising.
I think paddy power is the most nauseating company in the world. Poncing money off mugs and then coming up with childish shit to promote themselves.
Why are people who have a bet mugs?
You really don't know?
No, I have the odd bet on the national , world cups etc. Why am I a mug?
As long as you follow the only bet what you're able to lose rule, I suppose you're ok. Paddy Power is not really interested in you though is it? It's the ones pumping money on bets and their FOBTs they're really after. And enticing people in with laddish adverts is a way to hook people into gambling. And some of them will end up with an addiction that ruins lives. I gamble occasionally but don't fool myself it's anything but a mug's game.
