Joey Barton

[drfchound]

Did Barton play?

[mugnapper]

It's in the rules. If you are a professional footballer, you can't place bets on football matches.
His account was on Betfair. If you go on their site, there are literally dozens of sports, other than football, with hundreds of matches/races you can bet on every day.
Basically he gambled his career and lost. Tough tit, idiot.

[Jenny]

Yes, he played.

[drfchound]

I know that and i agree that he was wrong, as he admits himself.
He clearly says though that he didnt bet on matches that he played in and that match fixing is not the issue.
I was just pointing it out.

But he did play in games that he bet on - look on the link, there are 3 games/5 bets where he was in the starting 11.

He states he didn't bet against his team in matches he played in. Hence no accusations of match fixing.

He did bet against his own team mate in a game he played in though. Hence the question about spot-fixing

[drfchound]

Yes, he played.

In that case his statement is wrong, thank you Jenny, that is all i wanted to know.

[Syme]

Yes, he played.

His statement doesn't say what you think it says.

[drfchound]

Yes, he played.

"To be clear from the outset here this is not match fixing and at no point in any of this is my integrity in question".

What have i misunderstood?

[Syme]

Match fixing would suggest he bet against his team to lose and played a part in them doing so. That never happened.

Spot fixing would suggest he bet on specific things to happen or not happen, but that would not necessarily determine the outcome of the match. He bet on himself to score first and his team-mate not to score first.

Well, not really.

[not on facebook]

The FA said the will fine Barton £30,000 > if I was Barton I refuse to pay the £30,000 and tell the FA to take it out of my nose.

The FA havd ended Barton's playing days by taking himself footballing legs away from him with the 18 month playing ban. > they should give Barton a final SCARBORO warning and if he fails then take his playing days away > but in turn work to learn with him on how to help players behind him .

[foxbat]

I wonder if he had a bet on Manchester City winning the Premiership when he got sent off
whilst playing against them for QPR in that last game of the season ?

[not on facebook]

Suerly that one is far too obvious foxbat ,but it's food for thought fella.

[normal rules]

They were about the amount of money put into the game by bookies on talksport this afternoon; and the level of advertising now commonplace at half time, pre match etc. They surmised that they put too much money into the game for them to be removed, in the same way as tobacco advertising was.
Says it all really when they accept that there needs to be high levels of money in the game for it to be successful.

There is way too much money in football, thats why its like it is.

[GazLaz]

I've said for years gambling advertising will go the way of tobacco advertising.

Could we sign him when go up into the Championship he will be out of his ban. Let's face it he's a popular player never out of the head lines , I can see him and DF having a post match interview. Lol

Sorry reading this it seems he as been set up by BETFAIR
Spreadsheet from 2006 to May 2016 then report him in September 2016
why ???? if breaking the rules he did it in  2006  then  BETFAIR  should have reported him
