Is Sports Betting.com’s Latest Ad Too Salacious?

Totally NOT PG ad for our family friendly site!

One of the online gambling ads drawing tons of attention these days is a new Sportsbetting.com banner that features a man in bed with a woman in the foreground wearing only some slinky lingerie with her legs spread wide and a caption that reads "Tired Of Just Watching?....Want To Do It For Real?....Win Your Way To Riches...110 Percent in Signup Bonuses".

At the risk of sounding too puritanical, the question is should such a suggestive advertisement appear on the pages of a website with Gambling911.com's deeply embedded moral fabric?

"While suggestive in nature and shocking to young eyes, such a banner is borderline acceptable by Gambling911.com's strict virtuous standards," remarked Payton O'Brien, Senior Editor and policy enforcer of the Gambling911.com website.

The advertisement debuted this week in conjunction with Sportsbetting.com's new 110 percent cash bonus promo offer (half naked girl not included, we might add). 

O'Brien admits the ad in question probably would not be permitted by the British Ad Standards Board put in place to monitor marketing techniques.  The ad, however, is not targeting the British market. 

Gambling911.com is a family website with strong family values which often much make complex ethical choices while promoting consistency in these choices.

The advances in technology over the last several years have ushered in the computer and web space revolution and many things have never been the same again. People can now talk and view other people from across the seas on their computer screen, take the pleasure of watching movies online, go through eBooks, play games and even do their purchasing without leaving their house. Other benefits of the internet are the opportunities it has thrown up for people to make money sitting at home by either working on web content, trading the stock market or indulge in gambling at online sites. The online sports betting sites have been a great introduction for people who like to place bets on games and horses and they can now do this without having to be physically present at a casino or race course. http://reviewsportsbetting.com/Sports-Articles/Tilting_the_Odds_in_Your_Favor.php

John 14:15 says, "If you love me, you will obey what I command.” It is a low position because we must totally deny our own will to do what pleases the Lord. Christ Jesus as He lived His life on earth is our supreme example; if we pattern our behavior after Him then our lives are most valuable. John 15:10 says, “If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love.” I say thank you again Gambling911.com for purifying the Net.

Still here pervert? I love it, thinks he's jesus rep, thinks everyone is the same or any religion, then is a typical hypocrite who can't admit he likes this site..... Keep doing the good lord's work, and when you see Jesus, remind him of that 50 bucks he owes me from the Saints game a couple years back....He always takes the saints.
