Pant smoking

Why ?
You must be a burglar to catch up with the (mainly) socialist inspired taxation.
That's what people say, though I don't agree with the analogy because a succesful burglar needs diet to keep his silohouette, needs acomplishes, special climber's shoes etc, etc. The proceeds from burglary are therefore too valuable.

The EC Gaming Board is completely different to the rest in many ways. So much for our "National " Gaming Board and the great ANC !

They have so many restrictions which are rubbish but which the other Provinces dont have, eg CCTV Contractors - it costs double to maintain the same system down there than anywhere else in the Country, simply because of their ludicrous compliance demands.

They are an absolute joke and this body alone, down there, in East London, will ensure that Trevor Noah has material for many years to come !

You all must understand that kajamix and the other 20 million gleeks have a HUGE problem with tax of any sort. This is not intended as an offence, its in their DNA. This is also the main contribution to the current state of affairs in gleece.

They dont want to pay anything to anyone especially the government. This is why all over gleece you for example find buildings with reinforcing sticking out the roof. There is a bylaw that says while a building is under construction you dont need to pay rates and taxes so guess what 70% of buildings are under construction.

You read "horrible histories" in youtube too much.
The iron things sticking from the roofs is a proven internet hoax, ages now. They found an unfinished bulding somewhere and took a picture. I don't see any such around. I don't know who it was who made the hoax. Maybe I do, but let me rather not say.
The drive towards overtaxation of games of chance is not of course a purely Greek situation.
We have the Goodlatte legislation in the USA, also France, Spain other European countries.
Some small groups of racing fans and some European legal firms are trying to oppose.

Those who are in favour of taxation can be anything but certainly not punters.
As for the industry itself they had better watch (you can't take money from empty pockets).

The attack on Greece is unjust & unruly but also irrelevent.
Suppose, for the sake of argument, it was not unjust.
But If I was from somewhere else, then what ?
On the issue of unfair taxation such personal attacks take place many times when one is raising the issue and one wonders what the person who makes those attacks is really doing in a horse racing forum. It might be interesting to know (I expect he's going to hide away but it might be interesting to know).
We have unfair taxation two ways: From the government -e.g. French monopoly laws- and from within the industry itself, cause they think we are mugs with infinite money.
Yet even if we don't count as parts of the gambling eco-system and even if we are supposed to do whatever it is we are dictated to do, with such practices the entire show collapses as we have seen many times, because of the economic disfigurement.

I cannot speak on their behalf Kajamix...I agree that the comments are unwarranted and unfair. I hope and think it was not intended in the light you have interpreted, but I understand your concern...I think it was sent in mistaken jest...

Yeah ok.
He really says just about 1/10th of what we say amongst ourselves (true or not !).
But it's the connection that does n't exist.
In a stable economic environment everyone makes money and the punters survive - to the extent that they can survive. With the tax sharks around everything dwindles down to a shuddering halt.

I have a problem with taxes....it is squandered by idiots who get it too easily.....

Intimidation !
Alright so I 'm not Greek - my cousins are Australian in any case.
What do you have to say about unfair taxation / prohibitionist practices / unfair payout percentages ???

The preceding one obviously goes to conference with other people and comes back to intimidate (unlawfully so).
