SSML Division 1 Odds

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

as official poodle I would like to suggest a read of this thread,petetg, Rhodes merely advises us foromites of a bookies odds, helpful guy that he is.He started this thread in response to Eagles request whilst Eagles is away

[petethegreek]

Not a wise move as a Club Official.

 

The SSML may take a dim view as might the FA.

 

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

did you see the game on tele the other night,( might have been Manchester but there are a few,) the electronic advertising board around the perimeter was updating the odds about the next scorer etc .Sultana are always shouting the odds about the blue square conference and Sky bet fit the odd advert in too.

 

Anyway I hope the ssml and the FA deal with the Kentish town's publicity officer's hideous attempts to encourage gambling in a level headed way.

 

Where could it all end, gambling websites and bookmakers as shirt sponsors of premiership clubs?

 

Thank goodness Spurs have a nice affordable housing company as the shirt sponsor.

 

 

[petethegreek]

It's called conflict of interest.

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

blooming right it is Pete, Hanging is too good for them.

 

What is the FA ruling on this and is there a suitable punishment?

 

I should say I often have a bet myself and sometimes encourage certain SPurs players to try a bit harder to score a goal.

 

Luckily they are aware of the rules...........

[petethegreek]

I think Rhodes should be the one concerned regarding any breaches of rule.

TheSpursFan - Thanks, yes that's exactly right and this is all the thanks I get, I merely have a friend who's a bookie and I passed on the odds he is offering on the SSML as a number of people such as Eagles1981 and NeutralFan enquired.

[eagles1981]

I don't remember enquirying before you put them up but you might want to prove me wrong Rhodes.

 

I just remember commenting on them once they were up.

[petethegreek]

Rhodes- Some info for you. This is from the FA Handbook.

 

Any takers on reporting Rhodes to the FA?

 

 

Betting

 

8. (a) A Participant shall not, either directly or indirectly, bet, or instruct, permit or enable any person for the Participant’s benefit to bet, on the result, progress or conduct of a Match or Competition in which the Participant is participating or in which the Participant has any influence, either direct or indirect.

 

( A Participant shall not use, or provide to any other person any information relating to football which the Participant has by virtue of his or her position within the game and which is not publicly available for, or in relation to, betting. It shall not be a breach of the above provisions if the Participant can prove that the bet was on authorised and registered football pools.

 

[Rhodes]

Presumably you'll be discussing it with 'Sugar' tomorrow with a view to him writing another of his ridiculous five page letters to the SSML hierarchy referring to 'bundles' as if he is in a murder trial.

[petethegreek]

Pay attention Rhodes.

 

FA Rules not thoses of the SSML.

 

If I do go to Coles Park tomorrow then I may get the opinion of the Chairman on the subject.

[Rhodes]

Yes but any complaint will need to be made through the SSML who would then consider whether to pass it onto the FA we're affiliated to as was the case previously when unsurprisingly the Herts FA laughed 'Sugar' out of Court.

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

whats a Participant, Pete, please?

 

Is it a) a Countdown answer

 

half of an ICI pant.

 

c)A helpful instruction on a french undergarment.

Do you think that you would have a case to answer if the matter went further?

What is your interpretation of the FA Rules that I have quoted to you?

[Rhodes]

Not at all and I wouldn't waste the SSML's or the FA's time if I were you as they won't thank you for it. My interpretation of the FA rules you quoted are that if it went that far then questions may be asked but that's as far as it will get as was the case previously, besides I'm on first name terms with half the FA's hierarchy anyway as 'Sugar' well knows.

 

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

pete had best think about rule 15.

the rule banning the wearing of gentleman's pyjamas on the embankment after 1am ?

I dont see how thats relevant !!!

[petethegreek]

Try rule 14.

[Wader]

It's all a load of old hogwash and is only enforced in high profile cases (I suppose that could mean Cecil, hahaha) and even then not very well!

 

Players bet on football all the time - at all levels. And club officials are not deemed as participants in the sense of the meaning quoted from the FA handbook. Bloody helll, I've been betting on matches since I was 18 and my internet/telephone Bet365 Account is mad for it on a Saturday morning.

I was speaking to my bookie friend today and he said that he may give his odds compiler a raise following his early season pricing up. There is very little change other than Cheshunt Reserves are out to 17/2, Bedford Town Reserves and Harpenden Town have drifted out and Kentish Town are 7/1 from 10/1
