Seaside Nipper Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Laughable.Well if the authorities want to pursue this, seriously, in a sport saturated with betting company money there would be hugely reduced numbers of players and officials left in the game. Putting a football coupon on and placing of bets throughout the game by a huge number of people involved directly in the game, is frankly rife, and has been going on for decades.You have to wonder just what is the real m o for this pursuit of gambling in the game now.

Froggie Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 The old saying of "the devil finds work for idle hands" immediately springs to mind with footballers. Whilst surely realising that pro football is a relatively short career, and with plenty of time on their hands to either study or make preparations for a future career outside football, it seems the minds of footballers are obsessed with either the tattoo studio or the turf accountants. The fact that the football authorities associate themselves with gambling companies, whilst lamentable, is no excuse for players betting on something that is forbidden. If the urge to pay for bookies Caribbean holidays is so great, there are other outlets to contribute, mainly horses or dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
