In which case they can arrange for a cheeky striker loan swop for, say, Tammy Abraham.

Ben Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I wonder if he was winning and the betting companies grassed him up, last year my mates dad won £8k one week then £7k the next and Bet365 contacted him and he was interrogated as to who was tipping him, a jockey, trainer ect .

No chance he was winning. If anything he’ll have been losing thousands, hence he was allowed to be placing so many before it got flagged. If he was winning they’d have been on the case a lot quicker… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Does the ban just cover playing or does it also prevent him from training with Brentford? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 He can train after 4 months Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 How much football does he actually miss? More like 4 months? And even then he can start training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 This is an absolute fucking joke, they wait months and months and start his ban two games before the end of the season, conveniently handing Spurs a nice advantage in their battle for league position with us. What fucking idiot thought this one up? Why not, after all these months, wait another two weeks? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I mean, he probably won those bets vs us, but I’ve got even less sympathy than I had before. He’s a lucky young man only getting eight months tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eveready Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Actually find the betting against us pretty funny but 8 months is ridiculously light considering the bets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Personally think it's that the previous betting bans, and this one too, are mental - not that this is ridiculously light or anything. Sketchy betting on himself aye, but at least he was always backing himself and not the other way round. Suarez got 8 games for being a racist in comparison ffs. When you turn young lads into walking billboards for betting companies, you can hardly be surprised when some of them end up with a massive gambling addiction.

Aiston Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Should have been 12-15 months Wonder if it was an agreement to go with 'get diagnosed as having a problem' and we will reduce the sentence sort of thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
