I just read that the owners of the Betfred chain of betting shops also own a company providing help for people with addictions, including healthcare. Somewhat cynical.

You might also be interested in knowing that they are donors to a political party, which has influence over any legislation which might regulate their activities.

On the plus side, using a credit card for online gambling is being banned.

As long as it gets you where you wanna go and puts a smile on your face, that's what counts, right?

So, about that casino with roulette... gotta say, it's like comparing apples to oranges, right? Cycling and spinning wheels, sure, but one's all about the thrill of the ride, and the other's, well, about the thrill of possibly losing your shirt.

Anyway, onto the real deal here - the question about whether it's worth it to invest in a high-end bike or not. Let me tell ya, as someone who's been around the block a few times (pun intended), it all boils down to what floats your boat. If you're serious about your cycling and hitting those miles, investing in quality gear can make all the difference. Think of it like upgrading from a rusty old jalopy to a sleek, turbo-charged sports car - you're gonna feel the difference, my friend.
