A-League Betting scandal

[Paolo]

In my opinion, it's morally wrong, like sleeping with your best mate's luscious girlfriend, repeatedly

i see no problem with this scenario...imo i would be doing my mate a favour by proving to him that she is not right for him as she is willing to cheat on him

Its like insider trading really.

Get someone else to act on your info for a cut.

These people should be fined for sheer stupidity if nothing else

 

[Bear]

You all honestly think there are no other a-league players who bet on other a-league games?

Come on

I'm disappointed at the amount they are betting, considering how much they get paid.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Lets say you get a bonus for winning. Makes sense to lay some of that off to get something back even if you lose.

Like buying both put and call options really.

Brebner had a pretty big gambling addiction in scotland

When i was Hib's last weekend and talking to all the media out there they discussed with me the reason Grant Brebner left Hibernian and Scotland. The reason was because he was so deep in his gambling problems he had to leave to get out. He still owes people in Scotland a bit of money from what i hear. So i could't believe my ears when i heard about this gambling problem one week after being told of such problems. I have just talked to a few of the media in Scotland and they just laughed it off as being Grant Brebner. Will be interesting to see if more comes out of this.
