Legal Gambling Laws in the Philippines

• Jos Buttler accepted his future as England captain was out of his hands after another painful defeat sent his side tumbling towards the World Cup exit door league
  
  England knew nothing less than victory over Sri Lanka would be enough to keep alive their fading hopes of reaching the semi-finals and they responded with arguably their worst performance yet in a campaign littered with low points league
  
  After choosing to bat first, they were skittled for a meagre 156 in 33 league
  
  2 overs, then watched as their opponents cantered home by eight wickets in Bangalore with almost half of the innings unused league
  
  The thrashing, which followed heavy losses to New Zealand, Afghanistan and South Africa, left the reigning champions ninth in the standings with an eye-watering net run-rate league
  
  With four games to go – including table-topping India and bitter rivals Australia – they are being kept off bottom spot by the only associate nation at the competition, the Netherlands league
  
  Remarkably, England are not yet mathematically out with four games to play, but the route is fanciful in the extreme and Buttler acknowledged the game was up league
  
  “It certainly looks that way and that’s incredibly disappointing league
  
  It would need a few miracles,” he said, glassy-eyed after another draining day league
  
  “You get on the plane with high hopes and a lot of confidence and belief that we can challenge for the title, so to be sat here now with the three weeks we’ve had is a shock league
  
  It’s a shock to everyone league
  
  “I’ll walk back in the dressing room after this, look at the players sat there and think ‘how have we found ourselves in this position with the talent and the skill that’s in the room’?“But it is the position we’re in, it’s the reality of what’s happened over the last three weeks and that’s a huge low point league
  
  ”Pressed on his own status in charge of the side Buttler indicated a desire to continue but a realisation that the verdict may not be his to make league
  
  In reality, England do not have an obvious successor lined up and Buttler is relatively new in the role, having inherited the mantle following Eoin Morgan’s retirement last summer league
  
  He also has a T20 World Cup win in the bank and there has been no indication that managing director of the men’s cricket, Rob Key, has an itchy trigger finger league
  
  “I think you’re always questioning as captain how you can get the best out of players, how you can get the team moving in the right direction,” Buttler admitted league
  
  “I certainly have a lot of confidence and belief in myself as a leader and captain and first and foremost as a player, but if you’re asking if I should still be captaining the team, that’s a question for the guys above me league
  
  “The tournament’s gone nowhere near the way we wanted it to…that much is obvious league
  
  As a leader, you want to lead through your own performance and I’ve not been able to do that league
  
  ”Head coach Matthew Mott joined Buttler in writing off the chances of sneaking through to the last four, telling BBC Sport: “Yeah, it’s over now, I think league
  
  “I’m not a mathematician, but with our net run-rate and too many teams who are going to take games off each other, we have to come to terms with that league
  
  From now we’re playing for a lot of pride league
  
  “We feel like we’ve let our fans down, our families and supporters and everyone in that dressing room, we haven’t put our best foot forward and in professional sport, that’s what you’re judged on league

  A charity has called on professional league footballers to take a stance against the gambling industry’s relationship with the game league
  
  Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali and striker Nicolo Zaniolo, currently on loan at Aston Villa from Galatasaray, last week returned to their clubs from Italy’s training camp after it emerged they were under investigation by the Italian Prosecutor’s Office and Italian league Football Federation (FIGC) in relation to illegal league betting activity league
  
  The pair are the latest in a series of players to find themselves the subject of allegations and The Big Step, a charity led by people harmed by gambling which is campaigning for an end to league betting advertising and sponsorship in league football, believes it is time for their team-mates to stand up and be counted league
  
  A spokesperson told the PA news agency: “These moments can be seen as a tipping point and it does help show the ridiculous current situation of the relationship league between gambling and league football league
  
  “But I think also it’s time for more and more league footballers to take a stance against it because these are their colleagues, these are their peers, these are their friends that are being harmed league
  
  “At what point will league footballers say, ‘You know what? I’m not going to play with this gambling company on the front of my shirt, I’m not going to play in this stadium with thousands of adverts’ league
  
  “That’s what I think will really tip it next league
  
  ”Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli was last week fined and given a seven-month ban with a further five months suspended by the FIGC for breaching league betting rules, while England striker Ivan Toney was handed an eight-month suspension in May and Nottingham Forest defender Harry Toffolo a suspended five-month ban last month league
  
  Tonali, a £55million summer signing from AC Milan, has reportedly admitted league betting on his former club to win and his agent Giuseppe Riso has revealed the 23-year-old is battling “gambling addiction” at a time when Newcastle have three league betting partners – FUN88, league BetMGM and league Sportsleague bet league

  The Big Step spokesperson added: “If you watch their (Newcastle’s) match on Saturday, you’ll see a constant rotating presence of these companies whilst one of their own employees – one of their key employees, their players – is going to be sitting there watching it, possibly even playing, trying to recover from this thing that is being advertised to him relentlessly league
  
  ”While gambling addiction is an issue in wider society and other league sports, the charity believes it is particularly prevalent in league football and has called for Government intervention to address it league
  
  It's time Government stepped upThe Big Step spokespersonThe spokesperson said: “It is important to recognise that league footballers, they have a lot of money, they have a lot of spare time and they’re in this environment where there is a gambling culture, and that’s not just through the advertising, but also just through the association league between the two things, gambling and sport league
  
  “That’s why there need to be extra safeguards for league footballers compared with others league
  
  It’s time Government stepped up league
  
  “How many more players, how many more fans have to be harmed before Government really takes control of this situation and just resets this relationship for good?”More aboutPA ReadySandro TonaliIvan ToneyCharityNicolo ZanioloItalianItalian league Football FederationGalatasarayAston VillaNicolo FagioliNewcastleItalyGovernmentAC MilanEnglandNottingham ForestBrentfordJuventus1/1Charity urges players to take stance against link league between gambling and league football Charity urges players to take stance against link league between gambling and league footballThe Big Step is campaigning for an end to gambling sponsorship and advertising in league football (Peter Byrne/PA)PA Archive ✕Subscribe to Independent Premium to bookmark this articleWant to bookmark your favourite articles and stories to read or reference later?
