Quoted from jamesgtfc


It's a weird one isn't it?

The players can't bet but so many play in a competition sponsored by a bookmaker and so many of the big clubs have a gambling firm as a sponsor somewhere on the shirt that the players wear.

And then they wonder why the players end up betting on football...


TBF, I’ve got a few Ciba-Geigy Town shirts and I’ve always just about managed to resist releasing toxic chemicals into my local river.

Players all know they're not allowed to bet on football. No doubt the daft fucker had an account in his own name.

Nope


So no issue with drink driving, assault and to be fair, Tripper was caught betting too…

It’s hard to have sympathy, I get that, but when a sport relies seemingly quite heavily on the money from gambling sites and bookmakers, and doesn’t seem to want to do anything about that, it’s easy to see why players do it…

I’ve never placed a bet in my life, out of interest, do other sports have similar rules?

For me the difference is that the others done their crime and served their time. If Toney had been in Qatar and this broke it would have caused massive issues in the press and calls for him to be sent home thus taking the focus within the group onto something they didn’t need.

Quoted from Hagrid
Funny how the powers that be dont care when half the big clubs have deals with gambling companies

Brentford themselves sponsored by Hollywood bets

The SKY BET Football league….


I get why they did it, to stop players betting on games theyre involved in etc...BUT...

This rule is the classic sledgehammer to crack a nut scenario, totally OTT, to the point that if you're a tea lady at Messingham U11 blind girls' team, you can't bet on *any* football *








* I may have exaggerated to make the point slightly

I guess banning it completely stops anyone ringing their ex teammate and ‘doing a deal’ to throw a match
