I feel my anti gambling rant building! 

Within 8km of my regular suburban Canberra home, there are 6 “clubs” packed with gambling machines. Most of them are open almost 24/7. They are aligned with things like rugby league, lawn bowls, soccer, political party etc. In NSW they can also be aligned with returned soldiers organisations and even fill up entire rooms, or even floors, of pubs.

Must stop now..or I won’t stop.

I think we are at crossed purposes. I wasn't disagreeing with your post.

The chat was about spoilers on Sky coverage, KM now claims his overall point is that we show every game to cater for betting companies. Which wasn't the point he made, nor relevant to the chat on whether Wilson tells us about a try 750 miles away when he gets time because a scrum is formed. 

That was my exact point!   That was my exact point!   That was my exact point!

Still confused?

Exactly...its merging...that is my point.   I don't know why so many of the readers in the Northern UK are missing it...is it a geographical thing?

No they are not...they are ahead.

For example:  If I watch a soccer game from the UK there is advertising around the field and it changes every so often electronically on boards around the field.  Theses boards are real and border the field in actuality.

In pro hockey there is on line betting advertising on the boards but it changes every so often, but not on the boards in actuality, it is programmed (with the broadcaster and league due to a financial payment) in real time to present a false image/narrative to the viewer.  It is like the difference between creating a wet fresco and creating a dry fresco.....do you get it? Do you understand.

Canada is far ahead but it is coming there....that is my point.

The Betfred logo on the pitch is a fresco. An ugly one at that!

Mate, I'm happy to draw a line under this and agree to disagree, but let's be clear about what's happening. People get sports gambling, nothing you've said is new or difficult to understand for anyone at all. 

It just wasn't relevant on a discussion about Sky commentators giving a spoiler in a match. It wasn't real time, it wasn't any of the smart technology that you refer to, it wasn't part of a betting segment or similar like they have on NRL coverage. Basically it was hangover from the past where they just give updates on what's happening round the grounds. 

The whole betting discussion one is interesting, but wasted here because it isn't the right thread. Maybe this discussion should have been on the recent thread where it was announced that IMG had bought the SL Gambling rights. 

But let's not make out this is some complex intellectual thing that people don't understand, it's just not relevant to what was being discussed.

You've clearly missed my full meaning but I'm willing to let it go in the interest of posterity.

Where's the poll then?

FWIW I'd rather not have the spoiler scores either, and it must surely have an effect on whether or not people will watch the other games afterwards. Let's see what happens tonight anyway.

[dkw]

Maybe Sky could add it as a red button option. For me its not a problem, I quite like the scores being shown, it doesnt ruin anything for me even if I have recorded it.

[graveyard johnny]

gonna watch warr v hull gamelive tonite and hopefully london v cats game early in morn IF  they dont give away the score/result - if they do then I wont bother in the morning 

[Dave T]

Two screens again for me tonight, but starting on time, so no spoiler issues for me. Knock yourself out Woodsy! 

[gingerjon]

It is impossible for the British mind to understand how the tentacles of gambling can get into every aspect of the game.

Like all mainstream Brits, I will have Dunkerque v Ivry on the laptop - I don't need to tell you how important that game is for my brave Dunkerque boys in their fight to stay in the Liqui Moly Starligue - and the London game on the telly. I will be properly annoyed if I don't get updates from the other, lesser, game going on.

[gingerjon]

It hasn't had my full attention because Dunkerque edged Ivry 32:30 (HUZZAH MY LOVELY BOYS) but haven't noticed any updates about what is going on in any other game during Broncos v Catalans.

[gingerjon]

And the second I say that, up an in play graphic pops saying it's 6-6 in the other game ...

Bloody hell, these score updates are everywhere these days

 I wont get the chance to watch the knights v raiders match from today till tom evening - if sky feel the need to plaster the result of it all over my screen tonight or mention any thing  during the kr v wire  game then that's me done with sky and SL for the rest of the season - I cant let it ruin my NRL season this year- will be happy enough with NRL next day coverage to forfeit SL

Sky have always thrown in mentions of the NRL matches anyway.

I have been in agreement that the broadcasters should avoid giving away the scores in other matches being broadcast at the same time, so that people could watch the other(s) later. But I think you may be stretching it a bit here with this point.

How long after the completion of a match do you think Sky should leave it before reasonably mentioning it on another game?

I think it is reasonable for them to mention tonight's score in tomorrow's coverage. For example tomorrow they may want to make a talking point out of Saints (potentially) trying to retake top place after Rovers/Wire overtook them on points difference.

Wasn't this game only on the NRL app. Have Sky ever given out results of NRL games they haven't shown?

If he doesn't want to find out the score to the match he is currently watching, he can turn over and wait for them to tell you.
