Nothing wrong with having a few quid on when the odds are right. After all, it is only keeping up the traditions of our forefathers who originally made this great game popular.

i sense some ironic undertones to that post there raju..i hope so anyway.

But what was Giddens thinking of, in a time where match fixing etc is a particularly sensitive topic, the last thing you want to do is place a bet on a game where you may have some influence or at least know a bit of inside info.

The bookies didn't do their homework (and as a consequence the odds were wrong) and got stung. They always cry when someone takes them for a few sovs.
