[AusRace] Bet365 - a joke;

Mon Jan 29 15:20:19 AEDT 2024

With oversized government comes needless bureaucracy. Teacher friends of
mine tell me that most of their time now is spent on bureaucratic duties,
enforced by a layer of govt-imposed bureaucracy on schools, all pointless
and fruitless.  It would appear that Corporate Bookmakers are now labouring
under the same weight.
But of course if you're taking money off them, it may just be a convenient
run around!
