Ok, Tonali, amongst probably countless others have broken the rules regarding betting in football.
I’m not a gambler, I’m not particularly familiar with the the odds and evens of it.
But, these young guys have money to burn and time to waste. In a world where they have everything they want, where do they get their thrill?
The gambling addiction breeds from there. And The thrill of gambling, coupled with the gamble of getting away with something they know is wrong - it’s clearly going to cause problems.
Anyway, putting the circumstances to one side, and I’m not trying to absolve these players of blame for their own actions here… And player punishments are deserved and needed.
But, gambling addiction is a known problem. With gambleaware on all these adverts, and apparently Safety limits and all that jazz, surely they’re a ‘code of practice’ these bookies must sign up to.
Can it not be seen that these guys are feeding off someone’s addiction? Where’s the safeguarding? Where the checks, validating new accounts etc that would surely alert the bookies of the fact this guy can’t be placing bets?
Are these bookies not breaking their own rules allowing what is clearly considered ‘inside betting’ from the football authorities? Why, as a business, would you allow an inside bet to be placed?
Surely it’s destroying your businesses integrity? Should this not be brought to the attention of the authorities and fines and punishments put in place for the bookies too?
Like I say, I’ve no idea of how it all works so I may be completely rambling here XD
