Sharing info, gambling on results. I've been in the dugout when a player shouted to the bench where the leader of the punters club was 'how many do we need' when deciding whether to take the 2 or play and go for a try knowing the margin on the handicap was tight. Its a massive problem in rugby league. The players don't get paid enough and the temptation will always get to some, especially in the lower leagues.
Or you can be like that sevilla player kike salas Young, earning a fortune and going to throw his career away over making a few grand for mates Stupid is as stupid does
It's not panicking it's balancing their liability. These markets would have tiny volumes on them so any bets will impact the market.
Leicester winning the title was the best year for the bookies. So many people bet on the big six they easily made money on that season. A friend who works/worked at paddy power at the time loved it.
Bilic out to 2-1, Riera back in to 4-1. I’m sure Acun just reads this forum for reactions to the names and will appoint accordingly. The reaction to Riera was lukewarm, so Acun’s interested in him again
There are players who gamble on results using inside knowledge still, yes. No idea if some are still acting on field to ensure they beat or lose against the handicaps. I reckon it happens in all Sports, some things are too easy to swing.
Bilic not on the list and hasn’t been spoken to https://x.com/hdmhullcity/status/1926234945355231290?s=46
