I'm not sure this should be here or in the Holy Ground.
"Labour: Scrap betting ads on football kits
Labour says it would ban gambling firms from advertising on football shirts if it came to power.
The party's deputy leader Tom Watson said football had to "play its part in tackling Britain's hidden epidemic of gambling addiction".
Nine English Premier League clubs - and three in Scotland's top flight - have kits sponsored by betting companies.
Gambling on football was worth a record £1.4bn to bookmakers over a 12-month period, figures revealed in May."

Besides the financial side for Hibs Marathonbet have been great to the Hibs Supporters in so many ways. But I suppose that's part of their cunning plan.
On another note I think gambling and advertising laws are reserved to Westminster. If that's the case it's disappointing Labour have chosen to ignore anyone but England in its policy launch!
