SouthamptonOwl Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) He should have tried for sponsorship.

HoylandOwl Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Bradley Wood who played in Lincoln’s FA Cup run to the quarter finals, got banned for SIX years for his betting antics….. And it was far less that 200+ breaches. So. If Toney is guilty then of his breaches….. What’s that ban going to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyben Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 None. Different game up there. Like I said a while ago, it's OK for the owner of Brentford to make his money betting on football and for betting sponsorship of teams, but not for Toney to stick a grand on Auxerre v Rennes.

Not sure why someone on decent money needs to be trying to make money betting anyway unless there's an addiction issue. Doesn't matter if it was related to games he was playing in, well, it's pretty clear that footballers can't bet on football.... Ok, SHOULDN'T as per the FA's rules and regs.

Say…. A Chelsea player got into bother for betting on a game in China for example… on the face of it, as you say, it’s on another continent etc there’s no connection. Well…. Oscar was at Chelsea… There are opportunities that can be used. And I think it’s better to totally rule it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn’t get a long ban, the jobs fucked. Thing is there doesn't seem to be a sliding scale of sorts. Joey Barton got 18 months for over 1200 bets but, last year, two Boston Utd players only picked up 5 months for 757 bets. Most recently Chris Maguire got a paltry 6 weeks for 52 bets. If you take the Maguire precedent then Toney will pick up roughly 6 months. If it starts soon then it carries through the close season (the rule is all football activity) and he could be back playing in September.

owl71 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Is anyone running a book on how long a ban he gets? Toney could bet on himself to get a long ban, as a kind of emotional insurance policy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager had no suspicions at all from the three of them and I know that first hand.

KrolMong Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 This is taking a dark turn. The FA have said that Toney bet against his own team to lose.

Skamp Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I appreciate that gambling is an addiction and it may well be that he's struggling here but surely there's a red line you don't cross, especially as there's an element of 'insider knowledge and influence'. Trying not be crass here, but there's enough out there to bet on other than football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
