He took sellick to beat them...probably a wee 'bumper-upper' on his acca. On the face of it is real insider info etc and is a conflict of interest without doubt. But hardly think he'd be down in the dressing room telling the keeper to chuck one in the net.
As just alluded too, all the major spfl tournaments are sponsored by a bookie. Everyone takes a coupon these days.
Never heard of the guy but hope he doesn't lose his job over it as he prob bet on sellick same as 10 million other people that day.

There should be zero tolerance of this sort of thing but the SFA will give a slap on the wrist.

Think Aberdeen should be deducted 3 points and it should be the last game they played in 😉

Were the games in the Ladbrokes premiership, William hill Scottish cup, or betfred league cup?

If you're involved in an event then you shouldn't be allowed to bet on it, regardless of who the sponsor is. Neither the authorities nor the bookies will say otherwise.

I personally think Scottish football should move away from sponsorship by bookies and drinks companies.

I agree that people officially involved in a club shouldn’t bet on a game involving their own team, or a game in the same league or competition as them. I don’t get why they aren’t allowed to bet on a game in another country.

The kit man an Montrose can't put a bet on the Brazilian Serie B for example.

Maybe it was because I have just visited the enclosure on a farm where the kids get to hold young livestock, and it was Aberdeen, but I read that as 'Aberdeen director and petting'.

Draconian rules. I'd limit it to any competition your team plays in.
Preposterous that a lower league part time player can't have a fiver on a first scorer in a big EPL game. Hypocrisy is shocking.

I don't think the fact that betting companies put so much money into football makes the rules against players etc betting on the game hypocritical, there's good reason for it and after all there are a zillion things folk can bet on apart from football, which is why I have zero sympathy for any of the idiots in the game caught doing it.
Besides, anybody who thinks their 'knowledge of football' means they can get rich betting on it needs their bumps read .... I'm willing to bet that of all the folk who got rich playing the football pools back in the day for all 90% of them knew Aston Villa might have as well been a food flavouring.

It would be nice to take a moral stand and take alternative sponsorship but Scottish Football obviously isn't rich enough to consider it. The blanket ban on betting on any football does feel a bit draconian and more than a little hypocritical. The line should probably be re-drawn with a little more common sense.
That said, the line has to be drawn somewhere and even if it were changed it would certainly still be against the rules to bet on or against your own team. The guy wouldve been well aware he shouldn't be doing that. Deserves a massive fine and possible dismissal for being a total moron if nothing else.
