I would suggest that there is far wider publicity of gambling firms within football, than there is that Footballers shouldn't bet.
With the number of bets placed and the period covered, it looks like he may have been having a solitary bet a week in the most part.
This is neither problem...
It does sound very close to the number of games he would have played in, during that period though.
Which I would imagine is the concern.
If he's bet on Brentford to win or himself to score at any point, then he's just been stupid and will get a month or two ban.
But if he's been doing any...
Sure but unless I read things wrong, footballers are banned from betting on games they aren't competing in.
Implying they have the ability to influence events just by working within the industry.
I would imagine Tony Bloom has far more influence in World football than Ivan Toney does.
