Fifa World Cup Qatar 2022: Many football fans anxious about betting losses, poll suggests

More than a quarter of football fans say they feel anxious about how much they might lose while betting during the World Cup, a survey has revealed.

Six in ten said they agreed there were too many gambling adverts during international tournaments, the research for charity GambleAware suggested.

The organisation said 43 per cent of football fans plan to bet during this year’s World Cup, and among those 39 per cent admitted financial pressures might drive them to gamble more than intended.
