Before we went with the appointment, Bignot was 5/1 to get the Job, someone did put £15 on this so got a decent return. So what stops someone on the board or someone leaking that information and sticking a few K on it? it be worth it if the money went straight into our coffers! .. I know it brings the game into disrepute but we're Just a bunch of idiots who gather in "bingo alls" any way!  |

Pretty sure this would be classed as fraud.

I imagine these would be pretty stringent rules / laws against this. Like the football rules about betting on football etc etc

I think if large amounts were laid on it, it would alert the bookies' suspicion. I think something funny definitely happened with the whole Matt Higgins thing as bookies stopped taking bets on our manager for a while.

Probably the fact that it's a criminal offence and could land someone in a lot of stew. |

FA betting rules would prevent any CFU member from betting on ANY worldwide football bet full stop. Obviously can't be policed but there's enough in it for FCUM to release a statement a few years ago advising all of their members to refrain from any kind of football bet.
