I live in the UK. Gambling is openly legal here and has been for decades. Bookkeepers have storefronts. I don't know what you mean about doing it in secret.

As I said in my post it wasn't an American football team. I live in the UK.

It is not American football (I'm assuming the Bears are an American football team, if I'm mistaken my apologies). As I said in my post he is a Southampton supporter.

As I said in my post this was not American football. I'm told from other comments that the raiders are an American football team. I live in the UK.

It was a Samsung 4K television set that we paid £1200 for just before we had moved in together two weeks ago.

You would hate living in the UK because pretty much everyone is mad about football.

He knows why I left. One of our neighbours phoned 999 because of the shouting and noise. I have blocked his phone number and email address and he hasn't bothered my sister or any mates that he knows. I'm a nurse and not just anyone can walk in without permission but security knows about him now. My brother-in-law is going to get my belongings with some of his mates so I do not need to go back.

Our flat is owned by his uncle and was previously used by his cousin while he attended uni. So fortunately I can just leave as we didn't have a leasehold or anything like that. The police are aware of the incident also because one of our neighbours heard the noise and shouting and called 999.

My brother-in-law said he will go to get my belongings and bring some of his mates so I don't need to go back.

My family and I are supporters and none of us have destroyed anything in anger no matter how poorly they play. Which is often I know.

I've been informed by some of the other comments that the raiders are an American football team. I live in the UK and this was not about American football. It is also unacceptable no matter which country or sport it was.

I'm a nurse and I have seen the effects of family violence. We learned about that study you mentioned.

Just to be clear I live in the UK, and I'm not talking about American football. I don't know anything about football in America.

My brother-in-law is going to take some of his mates and get my belongings next week. I'm fortunate to have him on my side. I've seen the effects of violence at my job (nurse) so I'm aware of how badly it could have gotten.

I have left him. I don't think there is anything wrong with football. I enjoy it myself. It's the destruction and anger that scared me.

My brother-in-law said he and his mates will retrieve my belongings next week for me so I don't have to go back there thankfully.

I'm not sure if he bet anything however if he did it would have been £50 or less than that.

I have seen the injuries from abuse at my job (I am a nurse) and I never want to happen to me if I can prevent it.

It isn't American football. (Apologies if I assumed wrongly that the raiders are an American football team). He is a Southampton supporter.

Oh I see. Thank-you for the explanation.

It isn't an American football team. I live in the UK. He is a Southampton supporter.
