Walked in and Barry Bannan was playing on the FOTB machine. This was about 2011 so when he was breaking through into our team. So he was doing nothing wrong by the laws in football but it's just endless free time for bored young men and I doubt that will ever change especially if you grow up in a culture where one parent has gambled significantly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news for us all around. Yes, there’s that side of it, as a Villa fan, yes. And also, in terms of the integrity of the game. But as a human being, if he has a gambling addiction, I do feel kinda sorry for him. I hope he gets the help he needs. There’s also the irony of the game being so completely intertwined with the gambling industry, and everyone literally has it in their face every moment we’re looking at most premier league matches. It’s amazing this all doesn’t happen more often. Edited October 19, 2023 by Marka Ragnos 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villatillidie95 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Have to be wary about the Tonali addiction claims, maybe he does maybe he dosen't, either way his lawyer will be telling him to use it as mitigation/sympathy. Would be silly not to. Fwiw, i think zaniolo only played online games rather than football betting, just a hunch i have 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pretty perverse. If players are hanging around in a barbershop all the time, sooner or later they’re going to get a haircut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my younger days I couldn't go a Saturday or Sunday or watch any game on TV without putting a bet on.

TheMelvillan Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) sounds like Tonali doesnt have a gambling problem rather than a got-caught-gambling problem. If its not influencing or getting influenced by games he is not involved in, and he feels he can afford it, then he should be allowed to do what he wants with his money - especially when you consider that the sport is all consumed with a background culture of gambling However I fully expect that he will be advised to follow the Hollywood blueprint whereby individuals admit to having a "sex addiction" (who doesnt? ) once they get caught. He may plead addiction - seek help - and get away with a lighter punishment. Edited October 20, 2023 by TheMelvillan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you "couldn't go" without doing it, that's literally an addiction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
