Is he addicted? Might've been 232 £1 accumulators on Brazilian Serie B and the Zambian Premier League.
As the report's not been released yet I've no idea if it's lenient or not.
(He was on loan at Scunthorpe during this period so was possibly just bored)

The bets were actually 10p Round Robins and if they had all come up he would have won £4 - 27p.

If this included his time at Scunny then given Swann has massive gambling issues maybe he picked up the habit there ?

Him and Swann were often seen together so could be some truth in that. I bumped into both of them at a grime night at Henry Afrikas.

Personally I think it's excessive, however firstly you have to bear in mind if they are lenient it doesn't act as much of a deterrent and they have already been lenient by starting it now when Brentford are safe and 3 months will be eaten up with pre-season so it's only a 5 month ban really and he can train with his club for the last 4 months. Compare it to Rob Howley's ban for betting being 18 months suspension from rugby and it is pretty lenient really https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/rob-howley-betting-scandal-suspension-17427375

Excessive ban for what I presume is naive stupidity rather than intent to benefit from intelligence/ability to influence the outcome.
Don't personally think any of the footballing authorities are in a position to issue any bans, nor guidance, on betting when they continue to allow betting companies to sponsor teams and competitions.
Convenient that this hard-line approach comes at the time when the authorities have received criticism for not doing enough with their recent moves towards removing shirt sponsorship by betting companies.

Bradley Wood got 6 years in 2018! His was blatant match fixing that included one of his mates placing a very large bet on him to get booked with William Hill.
It’s called Spot Fixing. Match fixing is deliberately influencing the result of the match as is a much more serious offence. As you said he got himself booked deliberately.

The consequence of him getting booked though was that Ipswich took a terrible free kick and Lincoln went down the other end on the counter attack to win the game.

I'm inclined to think Toney needs help rather than punishment.
It's not as though he needed to show a profit from the gambling - he was looking at a footballing future which would make him a multi-millionaire by the time he retired.
I find it impossible to understand, unless there's a gene in his DNA which predisposes him to gamble. (I've read that there's a gene which determines whether or not a person is liable to commit crime, but the above is just a guess.)

Have you ever seen him interviewed? He's not the brightest.
