Not sure if the above is a link or not, but not seen a topic on this. It seems very lenient compared to Joey Barton.

"He was banned in April after being charged with breaking FA rules for placing 1,260 bets on matches between 26 March 2006 and 13 May 2016"

But it was reduced by 5 months on appeal
Re: FA betting ban
Like Barton's, they were trivial bets and not enough to be worthy of any suspicion of match fixing. Basically, the kid showed about as much intelligence as the average house brick. Hopefully the ban will teach him not to be so stupid again.Judehamish wrote:https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49649447

It's the same in horse racing - jockeys are not allowed to bet, full stop. (They have their phone records checked as a matter of course, and possession of an undeclared mobile phone is not allowed either.) (Owners and trainers, strangely, are allowed to bet; but not against their own horse.)
