Trying not be crass here, but there's enough out there to bet on other than football. I'm telling ya, there'll be an interview where he breaks down and cries. Then all will be forgiven as he's had "struggles" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you need anymore help with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could potentially be a can of worms, If you're betting on a game you can directly influence then it is a bit sus. Although you'll not likely be able to convince an opponent to let one in... you can certainly instruct your team mates to just pass to you exclusively for a tickle on any goal scored.

But as you say Skamp, there are / were other avenues if he couldn't stop himself gambling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaveman Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Ref A, does it say if they were Brentford games, or might some of them be England games when he wasn't expected to start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules clearly state if you're a footballer then you aren't allowed to bet on football. What is it the meerkats say? I do agree with you on the owners and Stork etc. We play in the Sky bet league, many teams adorn betting companies on their kit. There is an issue but point 1 stands.

Skamp Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 In the 70s I worked with a guy that played semi pro for Boston FC. If they were ever on the coupon, he couldn't even do the pools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should've waited a bit longer until the corrupt fat lad turned up a few yrs later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
