Sorry but what kind of twat bets on someone eating a pie? If a bookie loses money from putting up a stupid market then so be it.Originally Posted by the other bob wilson
Was there even a 'no' side available?
So much dodgy shit goes on in football and THIS is what we go after? Some nobody from Sutton?

Sun bet will be loving this. They've managed to get national attention worth millions, all for paying out a few grand and who cares who gets hurt in the process. Utter Scum.
Yes, the big man was a bit daft here in allowing himself to be made to look a fool, but it's not like he deliberately let a goal in, or in any way influenced the match.
I wouldn't seek to restrict people's ability to bet on what they want, but surely there has to be some regulation about what official bookies are allowed to take bets on? In my view, betting is all about chance, luck of the draw, sure, a sensible person would've bet on Arsenal winning, that's based on form, league position and the opinion of the better, but Sutton COULD have fluked a win - that shot hits the bar and goes over, or it goes in.
You bet on a bloke eating a pie or not, and it's not chance. He either decides to eat one or he doesn't, there's no "ooh no, he's dropped it".
As others have alluded to, there's more to worry about in this game than some fat bloke eating a pie in the dugout. Years ago he might've had a fag on the go at the same time.
What next? A bet that Neil Warnock does the ayatollah in the 85th minute?
The sort of twat who was going to get odds of eight to one on it and knew it was going to happen because the "nobody from Sutton" told them it was. I accept there is far worse that is probably going on in the game, but once it came to light the authorities had to act.
