Hi Eds I don't know wether you talk about it but what's the situation with Daniel Sturridge? Alan Brazil said this morning that the word is he may have talked about his proposed move to West Brom. I find this crazy that footballer can't talk about his life without people betting on it. Obviously I don't know the full story. Cheers eds.

{Ed002's Note - Players are expected to avoid all involvement in any activity that could lead to gambling. I don't know the details.}

Hopefully it was an honest mistake and he gets a slap on the wrist, doesn’t sound as bad as some of the ones in the recent past.

I find it ludicrous people can bet on such events like potential transfers, down to what can happen in the 11th minute of a match. Why is there any need to open up so many options to gamble on things that clearly can be so easily manipulated. it only makes it so much easier to suck in addicted gamblers, and provides a huge playing field for those intent on manipulation and cheating.

At least if gambling was restricted to just the key events such as outcomes of matches, it would be a lot harder to manipulate the outcomes, easier to identify suspicious betting patterns and reduce temptation.

It’s because the government have stripped the country to its bare bones with austerity and the only growth industry is self-destruction through gambling.
Corrupt Tories don’t care about people, they only care about their own money.

{Ed025's Note - your a man after my own heart ron, i agree with every word of that mate..

Ed002, just to clarify your original reply, if for example Sturridge told a family friend about a move before it was public, and said friend bet on it, without Studge's knowledge, that could result in a ban? Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?u

{Ed002's Note - if someone benefited from something he said then yes.}

But why do we have an austerity policy in the 1st place Ron? Greedy bankers putting the country into more debt than World War 2. That’s where the real blame lies for the state of public services. Got off Scott free aswell with muggins the Taxpayer clearing up the mess. A mess so big our grandchildren will still be paying it.

Thanks Ed002, seems harsh if he hasn't directly benefitted from it, but I guess someone in his line of work should really know better and not put himself in positions where this could happen.

{Ed002's Note - He knows exactly what the rules are.}
