Football is fixed, explains the losses

Just read this on the Indie website
Footballer ‘fixed match to pay off gambling debt of £50,000′

How an ‘epidemic’ of addiction is destroying the careers and lives of some of the game’s top players

A footballer with a serious gambling problem has admitted accepting a £50,000 bribe to help throw a game in Britain, The Independent can reveal.

According to a source familiar with the circumstances, the player – who has a Premiership club on his CV – racked up a £50,000 debt with a bookmaker. The bookmaker said he would write off the debt if the player got himself sent off and also persuaded three team-mates to get booked in a specific game.

That explains how my rock solid bets lose :-) Looks like a lower league anyway.  I don’t be on them.  Dying to find out who the bookie is.  Never betting with them again.
