Looks like he might be in trouble. Apparently bookies were offering 8-1 on him being pictured eating a pie during the game: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/feb/21/sutton-united-wayne-shaw-fa-betting-rules Echoes of Craig Bellamy and the 'golf swing' celebration a few years ago (when bookies were offering 100-1), albeit worth noting that I don't think there was ever any investigation over the Bellamy inciden.

Clearly knew what he was doing, why else would he be eating on the subs bench Silly man admitetted the bet etc and his friends backing him on GMB this morning The other shame was Sutton selling their shirt sponsor and two ends of their ground to the Sun !!

'Orns Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Well, he done his best to make it all about him, now he's paid the ultimate price He was desperate for the camera to be on him whilst he ate it, one of the commentators even made a comment roughly along the lines of 'he's made a few quid for his mates there' No sympathy whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Sun bets said they'd paid out a five figure sum on the bet, so someone did very well. With that kind of money and this press, there will no doubt be a fall out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlands Robin Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Funny how Sky Sports (part owned by a Mr R Murdoch) failed to mention that the sponsors were The Sun Bets (owner Mr R Murdoch). Another grubby deal from a rag of a paper (or at least their betting company). Clubs in Sutton's position have every right to make as much money from cup ties as they can but I hate it when they do deals with that paper. The Sun couldn't give two shits about grass roots football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SARJ Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Am I the only one who feels sorry for the bloke? He didn't bet on himself and of course he was going to tell his mates. Similar to when William Hill offered bets on Brazil to play in yellow at the world cup, of course people like David Luiz and Oscar informed others. Bloke wanted his 15 mins of fame and to get his club press coverage. Job done. Gives his all for the club, including running the 3G pitch rentals during the week and sleeping in the club house Mon-Weds. Blokes like this, at these non-league clubs, often go unappreciated or unnoticed their entire lives. Has a chance to make some money and gain the club some limelight, so did it. Let's remember that The Sun aren't blameless here either. This whole gimmick betting stuff is getting ridiculous and should be stopped. They were always going to get shafted one day. You can even bet on WWE Wrestlemania now, which has been scripted months in advance ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Went to Mangotsfield the other week and chips were being consumed by members of the oppositions staff during the game. For me any bet concerning the game itself is of course wrong, but in this case I can't see past the Bookies being very stupid for even offering it. I thought it was funny.

Where do bookies stand in situations like this where it's clear that there's been fraud/fixing of a market? Will they look to get out of paying out on bets?

Port Said Red Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 @Tomarse made a comment about them choosing to carry advertising for The Sun (Bets) in the Sutton V Arsenal thread, I would imagine the club got a bigger slice of pie (pun intended) for that.
