How about getting the FA to have a look at a few JOCKEYS, then

Without knowing exactly what he’s betting on it seems pretty harsh. Did I hear on the news that they’re not allowed to bet on any football games?

That seems a harsh rule. Understandable that they can’t bet in games there involved in, but other divisions or countries isn’t any harm.
Can Jockeys and trainers still back their mounts/horses? |

Kenbo - Trainers can back their horses and those of other trainers, Jockeys are not allowed to bet on races full stop

Cheers, Blackbarn. I thought jockeys could back their own mounts. It must just be laying them!

I've served loads of lower grade footballers in my time, all governed by the same rule. Mainly punting accers on a coupon, never the teams they played for. Can't see the harm in it

It's not only the players but anybody associated with the team...
For example, a kit-man at a National League South club, even several levels lower, cannot have a cheeky fiver correct score bet on tonight's Newcastle Brighton game Seems ridiculous to me Also, I think Toney was having these bets a few years ago when he was at Peterborough? And no suggestion he was betting on matches he was playing in Compare that, as said above, to horse racing trainers being allowed to bet on their own and other trainers horses in the same race!!! |

Anti-gambling campaigners criticised Toney’s punishment. The Big Step, which wants to end gambling advertising and sponsorship in football, posted four images on Twitter of Ivan Toney holding personal awards festooned with gambling advertising, alongside the message: “If you force young people to endorse addictive products, don’t be surprised if they use them.”
Matt Zarb-Cousin of the organisation Clean Up Gambling tweeted: “Forced to promote gambling as a footballer, authorities allowed bookies to turn the sport into a series of random betting events prone to match fixing – like time of first throw and number of corners – while player safeguards amount to sanctions in line with skipping a drugs test. |
