As someone else has pointed out, the bet was set before the game, and seemingly not with him involved.

All of what you put applies, had he NOT eaten a pie. By your version, he's wrong whether he ate one or not. Looking at him, a choice of pie or no pie is a no brainer.
It's more common sense. He shouldnt have done it and he knows he shouldn't have as there was a market running on an incident during a match he was involved in. Reality is to many its a bit of a stunt, and he didn't gain from it financially but had he not eaten a pie then there was no story and those punters would just have lost their bet (does that make sense?). The rules are so strict and any player above a certain level found betting on any football market has to answer as to why.

We dont know he didnt gain from it.

Hes a **** for doing it. I dont care what he has done in the past. His mind shouldnt have been anywhere else but on the game.
 
I don't get the uproar over this. If Sutton wanted to be taken seriously, don't have a 20st kid as your number 2. Okay, the game was going on but is it really that different from when their gaffer was vaping mid-game against Leeds

I don't see how the situation is different from a player telling his mates that he's moving to x club and all them making a fortune out of it.
