Last nights Pie eating investigated by Gambling commission

what a fix, what was the max bet on this? fiver or tenner im guessing?

According to Sunbets they have paid out a 5 figure sum to 1 punter

to pay out 10000 to 1 punter means they laid a 1250 pound bet
No fecken chance
what a joke

Wish i had known i would of bought him the pie myself

Romance of the Cup - more romance buying a bird a campari then taking her out back for a quick fingering.

Yes Shadder i agree just does not stack up there claim but whatever the truth its put them in the spotlight Sunbets

Good on him big lad needs the fuel and obviously bored like the rest of us watching arsenal play, hope it was a steak and kidders

meat and potato I think he said it was!

Wow meat an pots!! PROPER MAN FUEL!!^^

I'd have turned the channel over if I was watching, who wants to see a sweaty fat bastard eating a pie

Gambling Commission are the joke. Sunbets have got the publicity they wanted in spades and a few people made a few quid - no one lost.

Someone should tell GC that Betway are offering Douvan at 33/1 for the Champion Chase!

If a firm is stupid enough to post a novelty bet like this they deserve to get hit, all reserves had been used the guy was hungry whats the problem
Loads of hypocrites they stuff gaming down your throat at every ground then moan over this, the blokes done nothing wrong he never had a bet what can they do.

I'm sure this publicity stunt.....er..... news story...... will run and run in 1 particular tabloid paper..........

With the fckin Idiots that read the Paper could run for Years

If it has been Corales that had laid the bet, they would be in court next week arguing that it was a pasty, not a pie.

Sunbets now offering Thistlecrack at 100 -1 for Gold cup

Pukka pie.... "Who ate all the pies"..... will be sung by many after a 8/1 tickle

Very good Jack

Soooo  TRUE ABOUT KORALES, I THINK BALDIE WOULD BE THROWING HIS TOYS OUT THE PRAM AS WELL, BUT AT LEAST HE NORMALLY PAYS UP BEFORE IT GOES TO COURT

Now the silly ba$tards@ Sutton have sacked the lumper..couldn't make it up

Anybody taking money off the Murdoch filth cant be all bad

What a joke... a Tinpot betting company as well... should be avoided after this fiasco.

They offer a novelty bet, to attract custom... it comes in, they cry foul to the gambling commission and now the keeper has been asked to resign by Sutton.

The Sutton manager was on SSN, sounded devastated, like he was mourning a loved one, no sense of perspective, he ate a pie. If The Sun are daft enough to offer such a bet on an event occuring involving a club at such a low level more fool them.

Have to agree...listening to the dope manager i first thought the Sutton team bus had crashed and half the team had been wiped out

Sunbet are a rancid cowboy company and should be avoided at all costs...anyone who placed this pie eating bet will have to jump through many many hoops before (reluctantly) being paid out and i am speaking from bitter experience

Blimey this has turned into Piegate,somehow i doubt there will be any odds offerred on who next to eat a pie whilst sat in the dug out on a televised game

If a company is so stupid they offer a market on a pie being eaten then they deserve to be taken to the cleaners.

More from Paul Doswell, manager of Sutton United...



"Wayne has paid a heavy price. It's one of the saddest stories in football today because he is a great character within this club. He is the President of the Community team, disabled teams and the women's team.

"We have done the right thing though.

"Unfortunately he didn't leave the board with any alternative - we've all been looked at as to whether we have had a bet.

"It's a depressing day for me in football but I can clarify none of the players had anything to do with this and if any players have had a bet they will suffer the same consequence as Wayne."

what a to$$er

Sour grapes.

Dodswell kicking himself he didn't get on.

he probably didnt eat enough humble pie when the club questioned him.

The lad will do ok...be sitting with Piers and Susanna in the morning followed by an afternoon gig on loose women and a in depth interrogation from the welsh bint on the one show.Probably be the face of pukka pies and wouldn't be surprised if they dress him up in tight corduroy shorts and high heels and have him strutting down Merton high st

Because of an arrangement between the Sun and a 45 year old, 23 stone, fatso the biggest day of the football minnows lives has been sidelined as nothing more than a novelty act. Selfish and disrespectful, not that the Sun cares, they're receiving hundreds of thousands of publicity for a 5 figure payout.

More or less sums up the FA cup..the compo is a total farce

If the GC want to investigate anything they should be investigating the fact that this market was even offered and the motivation behind it. It was essentially incitement and now the wrong person has been made fall guy.

Biggest night of most of those Sutton lads football careers until this publicity stunt unfolded.

Going to start a petition to get the fat lad reinstated...only need another 999999 signatures and we can  get this debated in the house of commons...in the meantime lets hit the streets and demand Arsenal get kicked out the FA cup...i realise its got nowt to do with the gunners but fck it...lets support the underdog

Good point sumo, we can only dream that the GC will do anything.

Absolutely spot on!  I bet Sunbets can't believe their luck, publicity worth well over six figures.  It is ridiculous with all the skulduggery and blatant fraud committed by the bookmaking industry on a DAILY BASIS that the GC are attempting to make Wayne Shaw a scapegoat to justify their own existence, as Brian rightly says, a 'joke'!

Chavtastic land

Nothing about the chavs fighting with police etc
Ssssshhhhh thats not fa cup pie romance eh

bit of a pie up   ..   happened late after all subs were on and 10 mins to go ..he had starved himself for hours to give a good show for the club   ,,,had he been playing  ?    may   not have happened ..? ...to be dismissed..   for  a default ????   what happened to verbal warning or written warming for discipline  .
not getting on as a sub was just too much to bare .   .. football taking any dosh they can from the game including adverts round the ground ..  gambling ..pies etc ..  ..
wake up call to football fans what a sad day it is .. to think  they can keep a lid on no footballers or staff enjoying a wager .   including single bets .. etc .. brought this on themselves .. One knows this  a .huge no brainer ..   ....  30 years   ago encouraging a person to bet in an office for that game was an offence by the bookmaker holding the licence .. >/the betting licence would be suspended  then revoked at next meeting of ...licence ...  board ..? ... times change all the time for the worse ..  What price was the guy not to eat the pie ..???

I kid you not. Sutton reserve keeper Wayne Shaw is in the bar at half-time.

No subs had been used when he was in the bar posing for selfies.

I take it this post is Pie in the sky^^^

grumpy jims post btw

Romance of the cup  ??   man works for peanuts to get  badly abused for eating a pie or no eating pie  . ?.you could not make it up ..  Ten mins to go and subs all used ..  ..no chance of his dream coming true ..   .. no ROMANCE for him  so decides to eat his pie he has in his hand for near 40 minutes ,..  what happened to the KANGAROO  ON THE PARK  prove this is a one off time for real romancers ..

Your posts grumpyjim remind me of Ron manager from the Paul Whitehouse show...jumpers for goalposts

five figure sum ?  sunbets ?  in their dreams, how many decimal places ...... £23.715

to be fair to all  .............doubtful ......... if such a thing ........ as   ....        INTEGRITY EXISTS IN THE MODERN GAME ..    most games for any doubt ??
Driven for ...MONEY BY ALL CONCERNED ....?? ..

funny enough had an old bookmaker .. 20 years younger than me ?? laughing his head off .. if they laid 8 to 1  to five separate .. tenners  .   .. now it s   EVENS  .. ??  ... all a bit funny really ..
Always the biggest lads that ate all the pies .. Nothings changed .. only the Venue  ...??   SELL OF THE SILVER .. even I would huff and puff to lay him 8 T0 1   for cash this is the result ..?
KEEP IT AT LEAST A SHADE ON THE JOCULAR SIDE AS NOT FUNNY CHAP LOSING HIS JOB   ..  .. hope he gets reinstated poor chap ..  Must be honest he got stuck into the said  ..  Pie  ..no problem  ..   fans watching it was funny  ..  the manager dropped Arsen   A NICE BOTTLE OF EXPENSIVE WINE ..   Wrong way round he should  be bringing him a whole case ..??

Moronic statement of the century from the ITN reporter ... he is under investigation for colluding with bookmakers. How does that work?

Different gravy

Day in Day out on the horses nuffing said.....

PP offer these bets all the time. 8/1 SP for eating a pie ?! Thats very low...its a silly scenario which PP would put at 100/1 or something.

Assume they will be onto Le Tissier for kicking the ball out of play at kick off for the spread betting? Sky will have to sack him as well for that.

The GC are a complete joke.

Life of pie....

a pie too far  ............. poor chap  was in a dreadful place not getting on as a sub .. nearly chewed his fingers off ..?? .
seems he has a a lot of supporters not caring   about the 8to1 ..  only wanted a game  against the GUNNERS  despite disappointed not getting a game  he held pie for near 40 minutes till subs were all used .. what a GUY ..  let down a bit for work he did  ... like all small clubs  ...rely on charity ..  and help from poor  .... BOOKMAKERS ..   GONE WRONG  A BIT ??

Magic Daps .. was the game in trouble  20 plus years ago .. and still not improved  ............ SHAME ??............vaguely remember reading about that at the time ..??
makes little ODDS these days .. bet ,,.. minute on minute .  what happens next ...

Old chinese proverb I've never forgotten - "man that stick hand above parapet offering candy, expect to get hand bitten off by pie eating man"

If he hadn't eaten the pie would anyone be looking into the bookies making money ! Anyway the fella was only trying to earn an honest crust

Just reading about this on BBC website which says

But Doswell said that while he had sympathy for Shaw, he also felt he had been "naive".

"He's been caught in this mad world over the last month that has enveloped us. His profile has got bigger and bigger, I think he embraced that," said Doswell.

Why has this man lost his job ? yes he has probably breached FA betting regulations however does that mean he has to lose his job.
Why have Sutton united caved in when they could have invoked other discipline measures as after all has he not built up any credit with all his work for Sutton united when balanced against this enticement by the bookies.
And then you compare this person losing his job against a Mr Barton of many indiscretions over the years when he has breached FA betting regulations 100s of times or is it 1000s of times and Mr Barton did not lose his job so this shows that Sutton united did not have to dispense with his services.

last 10 minutes eating the pie was 800 to 1 ..  and no show from the pie 1 to 1000  .. on here ..? ..grand covered the price of the pie ..  ? ..pound .. ?

Its pie today.....

...pie tomorrow.

Its PIE time it got the sack anyway.

pewdiePIE

Has anybody got the actual screenshot from the subnets website of the bets they were offering on special markets on the Sutton v arsenal match

still not reinstated the Goalie .. who puts   PIE   oven off and the lights .. if man has gone .. ?  ..its an injustice that must be overturned ..maybe not sharpest goalie in Sutton squad .. but he has a passion for  his half time pie ..  ........ROMANCING THE PIE ..   New film to be made .. on incident ..

on daily mail sports site today ..

agree with all you say ROACHE, a sacking could have been avoided imo.

All this talk of pies...I've got a Ginsters shortcrust in the microwave. Recommended.

Our neck of the woods its carrs pasties or even Hollands pies

THINK IT WAS A GREAT BIT OF PUBLICITY FOR SUNBETS.
Would imagine every one was in on it.camera man got his 3 pounds on.
only like giveing you 40 max for opening account. and letting some of there very few customers have 40 as well.
bet 365 gives a bottle every time you open account.BRILL BIT OF THINKING BY SUNBETS.

Would've been a blast if at the brits last night they had Adele eating a cow pie

would rather pay to see adele eaten by a cow.. each to their own.

Sutton paying the price for sacking the pieman, goalkeeper injured in first half no sub goalkeeper, defender in goal for rest of match 1-1 h/t

they didn't sack him, he resigned.

That is the Polite way "he resigned" as we all know what Sutton united intended to do if they could not say he has resigned.
