get free legal advice

tell someone where you are

have medical help if you’re feeling ill

see the rules the police must follow (‘Codes of Practice’)

see a written notice telling you about your rights, eg regular breaks for food and to use the toilet (you can ask for a notice in your language) or an interpreter to explain the notice You’ll be searched and your possessions will be kept by the police custody officer while you’re in the cell.

Young people under 18 and vulnerable adults

your parent, guardian or carer

another family member or friend aged 18 or over

a volunteer aged 18 or over

Your rights when being questioned

Do most people lose in gambling?

Among the heaviest gamblers, 95% lost money.

They may not admit it, but most people lose money through gambling — and heavy gamblers lose the most, according to a new analysis by the Wall Street Journal. The Journal drew these conclusions from a study of several databases and interviews with experts. Eighty-nine percent of gamblers lost money in a study of 4,222 anonymous users of one online gambling network in Europe that includes games of chance like roulette, blackjack, and slots. In the small set of winners, few won more than $150. Among the heaviest gamblers, 95% lost money. In this group, big losers outnumbered big winners by 128 to 1. In another study of 18,000 loyalty card holders at U.S. casinos, only 13.5% ended up winning money. The odds of winning were better when it came to games of skill like poker, but still most gamblers lost money. And that's all you need to know when it comes to the investment value of gambling for most people.
