Betting Story / Scandal

RE: Betting Story

No worries moz.

Can occasionally be hard to get across the underlying humour, can't it?

Especially when people are a bit ''tired or emotional'' I'd say!

I thought you were being sarky too. Just wanted my side made clear.

Tis all good and I agree...Bit of banter goes a long way.

Well done river, our dossier on Mozzie is filling out. We have learnt,
1) He thinks he has a life (He He)
2) Runs a couple of businesses. (Greedy Bas...d)
3) Says Mrs Moz is a good sort. Would never suggest otherwise and entirely possible, he might have a quid (see above 2)
4) Thinks we are joking (delusional)
5) Quickly changed the subject when Mrs Doubtfire was mentioned.
6) Has a man-crush on Global and bones. (Both are now suspected aliases of the Moz.)

Or....

1) I'm in gaol and don't have access to the internet 24/7.
2) I run a couple of "businesses", resulting in gaol time.
3) Mrs Moz is indeed a good sort and is too scared to leave me.
4) I need you to believe I'm joking.
5) Mrs Doubtfire is in the cell next door and is a touchy (ooh err) subject.
6) My real man crush may be a lot closer to home than you think. 😉

RE: Betting Story

Is this investigation run by ASADA? Big story headlines to start with then nothing. Do we have to wait 2 years to be told in some page 20 story that a total $54.20 was the total betting investment? Maybe they could drag Richard Ings out for a comment!

RE: Betting Story

THE NRL has informed players at the centre of the ongoing betting investigation that they will be both publicly named and suspended, most likely by the end of this week.

In a sign of how serious the NRL is taking the issue, The Australian understands the players — including at least one prominent first grader — were told of their likely fate last week.



(because like that's after soo and stuff)

RE: Betting Story

I think one of those notified might be a well known punter who plays for a club that has recently expressed interest in DCE.

RE: Betting Story

Does anyone know who the 'star player' is who is getting the 6 week ban? From a Sydney club supposedly.

Come on you informed Silvertails people out there, surely there is some juicy info going around about this now. Its being announced on Thursday. But i need to know now.

I've seen an article which suggests Manly & Gold Coast have been investigated and a name being mentioned in that ever most reliable of sources, Twitter, names a Manly player. Without naming him, he is not currently playing first grade.

RE: Betting Story

They probably thought it was a sure thing, I mean - what are the odds of getting caught? But I bet they're sorry now.

RE: Betting Story

In all seriousness.....the NRL doesn't want its players involved with betting on the game and I can understand that. What I don't understand is the double standards.

Open the NRL web page and there are sportsbet.com ads all over the place. Watch just about any TV show connected with the NRL (especially those on Nein) and there are odds and ads for Sportsbet, even during games.

No betting allowed, but the NRL are quite happy to be in bed with betting agencies and to take their sponsorship dollars aren't they. Tom Waterhouse last year (and we still get his ads), Sportsbet,. Who next year?

Didn't the NRL veto Manly from signing a betting agency as a sponsor a few years back (when we needed one after the Quantum deal stopped) because the league itself was about to do a deal with Centrebet or someone like that?

$5 or $500, rules are rules. Everyone has to make choices in life, one of those choices for a pro footballer is.......

RE: Betting Story

According to Fox, tomorrow the NRL will suspend a first Grade Player for 6 weeks for betting.

They have also reneged on naming and shaming the Players involved.

How will the absence of a First Grader for 6 weeks not be noticed :huh:

RE: Betting Story

I know this season ( apart from Friday night) has been too good to be true

 

[HappilyManly]

RE: Betting Story

I'm confused - but then again I think that the NRL's shows and games being saturated with Betting Companies is obscene and tempting to Players 😎

RE: Betting Story

If you hear some of the calls from the commentators its usually obvious who they are on...
They start blowing up more than the fans, its funny as.
Love a bet myself, this w/end get on Manly, Nz and look for upsets with Broncos and Sharks...
