First of all,whether we agree with the rules or not....the rules are the rules...he broke them,seems in full knowledge of what he was doing..
So deserves a "punishment"
However,as been said we really need to know exactly what he was doing....250 bets over 4 years is nothing...thats what a part time
Saturday 50p yankee on the footie punter does.
An "addict" in that time would have had thousands of bets,and topped accounts up a hundred times...so assume he is a fun punter a rich one
nonetheless who's Saturday bet is a couple grand not a tenner...
He aint hurt anyone,brought the game into disrepute...just punted his own money.
So to me a 10 match ban would seem fair.....if however he was on the blower to some dude in Malaysia to bet on games on players getting
bookings or Brentford winning or losing,something of the sort,that's a hole different ball game...
...that's a 2 yearer...lots of difference.
Anyway 99% of punters lose over a year so some of his money is only going back into the game anyway......Sponserships..
Like to know if he was winning or losing that could be another contributing factor.....Winning big you ask questions....Losing,
he's just another punter.
